Re: Efficiency question on file extents...

That article validates my theory
(that the changes that I propose to the PF's will help improve performance),

But what are the implications of doing the

CHGLF FILE(MYLIB/MYLF) FRCRBDAP(*YES) ACCPTHSIZ(*MAX1TB)

on my logical files, as suggested in the article?

All of the LF's currently have FRCRBDAP(*NO)

I guess it depends on what the time frame/window is for the conversion.

I'd be inclined to do it as I think it might help the initial load of
data to the system, but normally would not bother. Nothing worse than
waiting for a conversion to finish so anything that shortens it even a
bit can only be good.

An article by Kent Milligan discussing a related scenario can be found here:
