RE: Implicit Access Path Sharing

[Colin Williams <Williamsc@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I think virtually every established AS/400 software package has some
sort of pre-compiler for source dont they, so that every object can be
created from source including data queues, data areas, binding
directories etc. for object management purposes, or running commands to
create
output files need at compile time, eg, DSPFD output file.

Along with Larry and James, it seems, and no doubt ithers too numerous
to
mention. I must admit it has never occurred to me to create an extra
logical with a shared access path to avoid a compile and run time
override.
I honestly hadn't realised that the overhead was so low and I will
definitely be investigating further. Thanks guys.

Well this is rare, but I finally get a chance to say something nice
about
J.D. Edwards. Its Software Versions Supp
¬¬¬¬Repository has a tool for
automatically registering and implementing compile time overrides. I
have
to admit that without some kind of extra tool compile time overrides are
a
royal PITA.
