RE: CallB, CallP --> Help

If you are concerned about speed, take the guts of the callable programs and
convert to procedures.  Put all these procedures into a service program.
Add the service program to a binding directory.  Now for ease and backward
compatibly, re-create the callable programs to use the modules.  Keep the
parms the same and the other program will never know the difference.

Now your program that will be processing the 200,000 records you want to
change to use the procedures directly.  This will greatly increase the speed
of the calls.

It is a lot of work, but you can tackle one program at a time.  I suggest
the programs that get call twice, #C or #E.


Have fun,

Subject: CallB, CallP --> Help


Greetings All;
I'm pretty green when it comes to this kind of stuff, so please be gentle. 
Here's the problem.
Program #A will be processing about 200,000 records.  Based upon some of the
criteria in the record it may call program #B, which will in turn call
program
#C twice.  Or, it may call program #D which in turn will call program #E
twice.
 (Costing stuff)
I'm not familiar with CallB, and CallP, but I want to increase the speed of
the
call's.  All programs are RPGLE.  
Thanks in Advance
Brian
