z/OS Example - FastExport

The following procedure invokes FastExport on a mainframe-attached z/OS client system:

To enhance I/O performance (at the cost of increased storage), increase the value of the network control program (NCP) parameter on an output DCB in JCL. The maximum value for NCP is 99. The additional storage required is the NCP value multiplied by the block size of the output device.
