/EMPHASIS=tuning-bias This qualifier provides you with a choice between smaller buffers and flatter files. You can use /EMPHASIS with the /NOINTERACTIVE qualifier if you want EDIT/FDL to be executed without an interactive terminal dialogue. FLATTER_FILES Generally increases bucket size. The bucket size, in turn, controls the number of levels in the index structure. If a larger bucket size eliminates one level, then you should use this option. At some point, however, the benefit of having fewer levels will be offset by the cost of scanning through the larger buckets. SMALLER_BUFFERS Generally decreases the amount of memory you have to use. Example $ EDIT/FDL/EMPHASIS=SMALLER_BUFFERS TEMP_DATA This command begins an interactive session in which the default value for the bucket size emphasis has been changed from FLATTER_ FILES to SMALLER_BUFFERS. TEMP_DATA is the name of the FDL file to be created.
