RXVSAM from Rexx is a possible replacement that may provide much better performance than an ISPF table for that volume of records.

EXTERNAL EMAIL Hello, I am working with an application team, and they are creating an ISPF application. One of the options is to use an ISPF table for the data in one component, but they will have between 50,000 and 80,000 rows in the table. What are your experiences with large ISPF tables, and is a table of 80,000 rows acceptable or practical? Another option is to write the ISPF application in COBOL and use VSAM or a database (although having only a single table in the database doesn't sound like the best course of action, either.) Data is loaded on a monthly basis (maybe 500-700 records) and otherwise this is a read-only ISPF application. Thanks for your thoughts. Billy. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This message and any attachments are intended only for the use of the addressee and may contain information that is privileged and confidential.
