REALITY DISTORTION FIELD
Neo: So, what's the problem?
Mr. Smith: We see our index cluster ratios consistently falling below 99% and the number of psuedo deletes and VSAM extents
continues to soar.
Neo: Well Mr. Smith, if that is your real name, all that my be true in the 'Matrix', but in the real world I think you'll
find that your problems have all been syntax checked by the COBOL compiler and the DB2 pre-compiler.

I Need To Correct Some Data
Please stand up a new DB2 sub-system and replicate several terabytes of data so that I can correct some data that my
previous corrections in Test, Validation, Integration, and Production failed to correct. I think all the other applications
in the shop are messing me up.
