Yes, the updates are done outside this job. I've received a lot of good tips from the list. Thank you very much everyone. Apparently, BLSR is not activated, we get subsys not found message when we try that. I've asked our systems folks to verify that and why not if that is the case. But, we have several other suggestions to try from here as well. Thanks again all!

Any updates are done elsewhere, which at this point haven't yet been described as a performance issue. BLSR Deferred writes could be useful in other cases (not here) when a large number of updates are being done in a batch job, but also generally requires knowledge that others don't need access to the file during this process.
