Re: Sequence error in MR

There's one word missing from this discussion. Performance. Now I'm citing numbers here from 10 years ago at least, on ancient hardware, but I rewrote a program someone had written to update a large master file from a transaction file. It was written using either CHAIN or SETLL/READ (I can't recall) and I changed it to use MR logic. The run time dropped from approx 4 hours to 40 mins. And before anyone asks, no I don't care to recreate a similar test today, but if anyone want to go ahead I'd be happy to hear the results. :-)

I think I remember that. Wasn't it on the old Newslink forum?
