Integrating APT Framework - write dataset directly

[timsmith_s]

I was reviewing the Framework documentation and was trying to find the API for datasets. We have several legacy applications that write very large text files - in an effort to speed things up, we are considering the possibility of writing to a dataset directly.

Has anyone tried this before? I am sure its a very simple osh script, but I was hoping to embed this functionality directly into our apps.

You're right - it's very simple. But the API doesn't help if you're going to rely on osh. Further, I don't think you'll get any performance gains - after all, the osh is simply two operators - import followed by copy. Build the job and examine the generated OSH.
