I have not looked at the latest info but I still believe there is a *LIMIT* to the amount of MS that one can buy per box. I also think there is a limit to MVS MS. I don't recall what it is but (they did increase it) there is still a practical limitation as to MVS MS. I am not suggesting that

I have seen the advice to avoid garbage collection in batch from IBMers before. I don't understand it, and I am curious to know where it is coming from. I doubt it is endorsed by the JVM developers. I suspect it might just be that suddenly we can measure memory management overhead, where it is

Hi John, You might consider changing modifying your stance when it comes to the z13 processors. Although the z13 actually has a slower chip, the processor is faster (partly) because of how they utilize memory. In the z13, IBM has lowered the price of storage so that you can get about three ti

Ron, Since you are using VTOF, I am guessing that your input files are VB and if they are indeed VB pay attention to the matching key field positions you have specified and correct it. You need to realize that for VB files that the actual data starts from position 5. It would be nice if you s

Well, I can disagree with that on a practical level to some extent. Upgrading memory can sometimes, cost wise, be more like needing so much more electric power that the power company needs to run a higher capacity line to your business and you must then install better / new equipment to support it.
