Hi,

What is the major difference between Dataset type 'Library' and 'PDS' used to store load modules. I want to know this cos when I use a PDS to call a Module the job is completed in 1/10th of the time it takes to complete with Load library. Any advice would be of a great help.

Thank you
Sathya.

please post evidence of it
and describe the full testing environment

PDSE usually outperforms PDS,
but, just to give you a chance, single module fetch performance might be he same
not 10 times worse

OK..

That Link gave me a good idea about PDSE.. Thanks a lot for that..

Actually our Load library has some 20K load modules.. whereas my PDS had 20 something load modules.. Will that make any difference?

Thanks
sathya.
