One more thing about keeping the rexx efficient. I like to write structured code so that no code is executed unnecessarily, plus it's easier to update.
I didn't run a test check the difference between compiled & interpreted rexx, but here's the cpu usage results from one of my (uncompiled) execs. The cpu usage doesn't seem excessive to me. input = 43mb blob of server data (streaming) output = 7000 records, lrecl=300 run in batch, elapsed run time under 3 minutes: CPU usage is 137.75 (seconds . hundreths/seconds) system messages: STEP/STEP010 /START 2012088.0535 STEP/STEP010 /STOP 2012088.0538 CPU 2MIN 21.08SEC SRB 0MIN 00.02SEC VIRT 320K SYS 428K EXT 2388K SYS11612K Par for the course as far as I know. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
