Tuning work file allocation values
You can use several methods to provide the allocation values to use for the PCP work (WORKnn) files, direct sort work (SORTWKnn) files, and symbolic sort work (SYMBWKnn) files:
- Specify the values in the DD statements for the files.
- Set values for the DYNWORK, WORKLREC, and DYNSORT options.
- Use the PCP internal default values for these options.
If the allocation values you are using for the work files do not provide satisfactory results, you can use the Workfile and Sortwork Information report to tune the allocation values.
The section Tuning-process describes how to use this report to tune the allocation values for these files.
