RE: Fastest access: user space, data area, data queue

It really depends on the amount of data.  Do you need other jobs to
access the data?  Since you are putting in QTEMP I suspect you don't
really need the data to be accessible by other jobs or after the job
ends, even if it end before completion.  If the data is a small amount,
I would use a data area.  If less than 1024 bytes, use the *LDA.  No
create / allocate / deal locate / delete to worry about.  It is just
there when the job starts and goes away when done.  Accessible by RPG
and CL.

Thanks Dave.

Actually, I am putting the object in QTEMP for later processes in the
job to read and modify. Typically I would use a data area but I was just
wondering if this is the most efficient. As I said, it probably doesn't
make much difference but I was just curious.
