Is there anyone who can explain this? Data Validation code!  Or point to
the original article? 

Thanks

IBM has changed the data management rules for files created via DDL,
which
effective improves DB thruput for all applications using the file.
Performance gains come from where IBM has chosen to implement the data
validation code.  Under DDS rules, data is validated when it is read
from
the disk, where DDL moves the validation to DB writes and updates.

The theory is that a typical application will read data much more than
it
writes data.  If we validate on write, then we've reduced IO overhead.

iSeriesNetwork had an article about this.....
