Shimon -
I wrote to the product owner about my concerns. I explained to him
that VSE/REXX performance on VSAM files was poor and that I could get
better performance in VM/REXX using Address REXXVSAM and Pipe stage
NASHVSAM while linked to the VSE/VSAM files.
He wrote back asking for examples (which I sent him) and then I never
heard from him again.
