Re: Copying Large PF Files - Quickest Way?

[Evan Harris <spanner@xxxxxxxxxx>]

HI Brian

in addition to the other things people have suggested you try I have 
always found specifying FROMRCD(1)  on the CPYF command a useful 
strategy to improve copy file performance. This will cause the copy 
to be performed sequentially rather than in key order.

Hope this helps
