Patrick,

Do you have caching enabled on the memory pool that the job runs in?
This helped us substantially in reducing the time it took to run
database intensive batch jobs.

        Mark,

        Is the program overriding the input file to increase the number
of
        records on a read? You can use the OVRDBF to do this. Since its
a batch
        run in the middle of the night you don't need to worry about
using too
        much memory.

        Also, are you giving the batch subsystem all of the available
memory?
        Many people change the batch subsystem to give it more memory
before
        doing nightly batch runs so that they have more resources, and
then
        change them back for daily operations.

        My 2 cents....
        Patrick
