BUFFER_BEYOND_CLOSE is useless. We do have it on, both for SMSPDSE1 and SMSPDSE. Our directory caching is set to take the default of 2G (come on, how large can a *directory* be ?!? ), and it does NOT cache entries. Unless I have my small 'keep-it-open' program running, in my case the second ISPF 3.4 takes as long as the first. And as Alan said, even my program only helps for the first less than 15 minutes, per system.
Barbara, I am curious if you have tried having your 'keep-it-open' program close and re-open the file every 10 min? Or maybe try having the program issue a DESERV to read the directory every 10 min. Seems silly to have to do something like this, but maybe it would get the system to keep the directory cached. -- Richard ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
