We're running a 2965-N10 and your snippet took a gargantuan 19.33 CPU
seconds on our machine. I was curious as to what it was doing to take up
so much time so I profiled it.
Astonishingly, it's spending most of the time moving data! The REXX

Hah, indeed it did. I was surprised too. I added in the redundant count in
the first place simply because I assumed a simple loop might not cause even a
hundredth of a second CPU usage. I was astonished, even knowing REXX is
inherently a pig, albeit a generally pretty pig (yeah, yeah, Python
Crikey! Did it really take REXX a whopping 7.7 CPU seconds to count to
ten million?

Hi Paul,
I would check to see if PTFs for the following APARs are applied:

The problem seems to be in the dataset selection process.
The dataset filter is PBREX.PRJW.** and there are GDG bases under that catalog
entry

PBREX.PRJW.ATPGAE05
PBREX.PRJW.ATPGAE05.G0571V00
PBREX.PRJW.ATPGAE06
PBREX.PRJW.ATPGAE06.G0571V00

Maybe you could check what causes the 0C4, the DUMP or the DELETE, by running
the job without DELETE.
If it is the DUMP, the dataset could have exotic or erroneous characteristics.
