Physical Sequence Sort for Reload

The Physical Sequence Sort for Reload (PSSR) utility sorts an unloaded database data set to reduce the elapsed time that is required to reload the database.

Introduction to Physical Sequence Sort for Reload
The Physical Sequence Sort for Reload utility (PSSR) sorts an unloaded database data set created from an HDAM, a PHDAM, a HIDAM, a PHIDAM, a HISAM, or a SHISAM database. The utility helps preventing cascading for an HDAM or a PHDAM database and produces reports about database sizes and randomizer performance.
Sorting an unloaded database data set with PSSR
You can run PSSR to sort an unloaded database data set in the order of physical sequence.
