This is what it said in the joblog (I assume that means CPU clock time):

Cause . . . . . :   Job 361125/PALHC/CVTNUM completed on 03/02/07 at
11:55:53 after it used 12 seconds processing unit time. The job had ending code 0.

Thanks. What is the elapsed clock time (difference between job start and end)? Basically I am curious how much difference the optimised version saves over the worst version.

In this case, there is probably no code maintenance difference between %dec, %int and atoi() -- they all look pretty similar to each other and are about as easy to understand. Perhaps the BIFs are a tiny bit easier to understand... Anyway, I guess this looks to me as though it might be a case of premature optimisation, especially if someone in the future reads this thread and doesn't understand the difference between %dec and %int.
