If he's talking about VSAMAID from CA, the manual states: <quote> Once installation has been completed, it is necessary to perform a statistics collection run for the VSAM clusters in batch. Although this process has been optimized to execute as quickly as possible, the elapsed time depends on the number of clusters selected and how many records each one contains. Each cluster is read in its entirety. </quote>
