   Gosh I hope those are resource related performance results and not true
   results. If that is true, then IBM implemented INT variables in RPG poorly
   and should fix it and PTF it back to V1R1.

     is there a dds equivalent to "10i 0"?

     I ran a timing loop that copied between 10i 0 and 9b 0 variables. here
     are
     the results:
      bin to bin was the fastest.
      int to int was 10% slower than bin to bin.
      bin to int took twice as long as bin to bin.

     any idea why bin to bin runs faster than int to int?

     The practical side of this is that I have gotten into the practice of
     declaring all integer type variables as 10i 0. But when I have to store
     such
     a field in a database file, I dont know the best way to declare the
     database
     field.
