PDSFAST improves DASD/data management by eliminating the long delays users experience when they wait for large PDSs to compress. PDSFAST speeds up all management functions, curbs DASD growth and increases the efficient use of system resources, saving you time and money on a daily basis.

Comprehensive diagnostics help avoid costly disasters by detecting bad datasets passed over by IEBCOPY and other utilities, improving reliability and programmer productivity. The Auto Facility automates many common DASD/data management functions, to relieve DASD managers and end users from time-consuming, repetitive, and error-prone tasks. The Auto Facility prevents unnecessary job reruns, enhancing productivity for the entire installation.

Compress Comparison
(Click Image) Technical Features

PDSFAST can compress, copy, unload, and reload PDS datasets 10 to 100 times faster than IEBCOPY, with no JCL changes required. PDSFAST performs high-speed copy and compress operations under ISPF or TSO. PDSFAST automatically performs a compress when space is needed and increases the number of directory blocks when one or more are required. PDSFAST enhances Library Recovery by copying and compressing CICS, IMS, DB2, and other database libraries in a fraction of the time required by other PDS utilities. PDSFAST reduces elapsed time for a copy or compress of a screen or panel library from 40 minutes to under 1 minute.
