I have a conversion program that will end up writing over 300M 72byte records and I’m getting pressure to figure out if there is a way to speed it up. Currently the program is using an F-spec. There are no logicals over the file and even though there is a unique key, there is no way one could happen during conversion so I'm not checking or monitoring for one.

Would changing to SQL help in any way?
Can I change something related to the blocking? I’ve never messed with blocking because the system does it automagically and I always figured it knew more than me.
Are there other options that I might not have thought about…and no, writing less records is not an option. 😊
