Specifying fewer parameters

 

In general, you can improve copy performance if you specify fewer optional copy parameters. The following parameters affect the performance of the copy operation:

• ERRLVL

• FMTOPT

• INCCHAR

• INCREL

• PRINT

• SRCOPT

Using the COMPRESS function does not significantly affect performance. You should request COMPRESS(*NO) if you want deleted records in the to-file, for example, when the relative record numbers need to be identical.
