Hi ,

My client has 65 million accounts to be processed. The accounts count may increase while the batch runs daily . My requirement is such that I need to display the reporting history for the last two reporting periods on a CICS screen,for a particular account. Hence I need to save the details for every account that comes in batch .

Which one is preferrabe in this case ? VSAM or a DB2 table ? Is there anything that lies as a problem of using a Table for this (CPU consumption, or some overheads ) ?

As this appears to be something "long-term" you might consider implementing both and running some performance tests that reflect the "real work" to be done.

As Enrico mentioned, we know basically nothing about the client environment, so specific suggestions will be less likely.
