We have a series of jobs that use IDCAMS to move data from one platform to another. There are several hundred files stacked on tape, which was created by REPRO. These tapes are then read by the Z/os target system and loaded to the appropriate files. While the jobs runs, they seems to run forever. We have noticed that the job goes into DW for 3-5 seconds at the end of each REPRO process, allocation/deallocation I assume. If indeed this is the case then using another program such as ICETOOL should not matter, the results should be the same. Is this assumption valid?
