How can I give max priority to some users using natural programs under cics for fast access to adabas files and insure them best performance. Thank. ---

you may be able to fiddle with the priority by userid. My experience is that unless you are largely CPU bound (that is, CPU is typically maxed out), it will have little benefit to performance. Adabas caching can be applied to selected files to improve response time for specific Adabas files or blocks. ---
