Apologies. I missed to mention that depending on a record that matches in
the 2nd file, there are some random reads that refer back to a previous
record as per the business logic. Hence, the second file has to be VSAM. We
also see a similar behavior with few other programs that do skip sequential
reads on other VSAM files.

So do the two file match and utilise the VSAM (second file) for random read
where it's required.

You won't tune your way out of this.
