Our one of program taking maximum CPU time which is the primary function of the program.

We have one Cobol-Db2 program, Cursor is defined to select the data from table based on purge date which is coming from input date file and then data being purged based on the selected rows. In this program, there in only one input file to read the date and that date is compared with table’s Purge date. There is no impact on COBOL coding and it only lies with DB2 table. i.e. program selecting approximately 33 lakh rows from table and taking more CPU time while fetching each row at a time and then purging.

OK for the language barrier, but sometimes it' s too much
please reread carefully You initial post and try to reword it so that we can understand it

the above sentence is pretty puzzling

Hello,

What is considered excessive cpu time? What is expected?

Processing 3.3 million rows in one query is probably going to take a consiterable amount of resources.

Suggest you work with your dba and make sure the query and the keys are properly defined. . .
