Jim,
Do you have any time savings of your use of SETOBJACC?
I created a 400,000,000 record test file.
Created a simple test program, read the file, beginning to end.
14 minutes to read all 400,000,000 million records.
SETOBJACC OBJ(PAULS/CCEKCPP) OBJTYPE(*FILE) POOL(*SHRPOOL1)
46877104K of CCEKCPP brought to pool with 25441484K unused.
Reran the same test program.
11 minutes to read 400,000,000 million records.
SETOBJACC OBJ(PAULS/CCEKCPP) OBJTYPE(*FILE) POOL(*PURGE)
Member CCEKCPP purged from main storage.

SETOBJACC has some limitations as well.
IF the object is truly read only such as a program or data area it will stay
in memory. But if the object is updated, such as a file or data queue,
then the system will force it to DASD at some point and it will fall out of that pinned memory.
I will always use a shared pool like *SHRPOOL60 and start working back from there since those are really rarely used. No work in those pools except the objects that are pinned in there.

I would not put anything into *BASE using SETOBJACC - the article I cited says these should go into a pool where there is no work, a fixed pool, that will not be affected by any optimization - you want it static.
It is not just data that is paged in and out of a pool - it is also *PGM objects - and potentially almost anything else jobs work with. *BASE would be the place where almost everything will get paged out of main memory eventually and maybe not before too long a time.
Also be sure not to over-manage this stuff - see that article, again, for what makes good candidates for this technique.
Cheers

I feel I can improve the performance of some long running batch jobs.
Some
of these run multiple times per day.
What's the solution?
SETOBJACC, Keep in memory (KEEPINMEM), combination of both.
I'm considering the use of SETOBJACC, especially once the P9 arrives
with
ample memory.
SETOBJACC needs to point to a storage pool.
The objects being considered for SETOBJACC might be used by both
interactive (*INTERACTIVE) and batch (*SHRPOOL1) My thoughts were run
everything out of *BASE, SETOBJACC would point to *BASE.
