RE: This is a software design question - ILE related

Nathan,

I was not suggesting that the C/S was faster than read from file or lookup
in a table.  In fact I do use the table lookups for small control files such
as A/R Codes in large batch jobs where the data cannot be sequenced by A/R
code.  What I was suggesting is for the interactive program where you have
hundreds of users using the same program, to use the C/S model instead of
having the program open the file itself.  This would save the hundreds of
Open Data Paths to the file.  Yes you do have to consider the problems with
data queues when there are not enough servers to handle the transaction
volume.  This is why we delete the data queues at IPL and program the client
and servers to create the data queue at startup if it does not exist.  The
servers also allocate the queue so it cannot be deleted while they are
sitting at data queue wait.

I wrote some code to test the performance of some of the suggestions you
folks have given me.

I wrote a little program to call the procedures repetitively to test their
speed.  Each procedure was called 76,800 times.  Following are the results.

getFromFile() - 29 seconds
getFromArray() - 10 seconds
getFromQueue() - 98 seconds.
