Hi,

I have to take daily backup of a VSAM file. As of now its taking 40-45 minutes using IDCAMS. Is there a way to reduce this time?

Thanks,
Sachin

Yes, thats right. I am taking backup of huge amount of data. My focus is to reduce the copy time of this huge amount of data.

Run a test using SORT rather than IDCAMS ( SORT FIELDS=COPY )
