RE: CHGPGM Speed

As another Kronos user I'd have to say I'm glad to see that y'all are
heading the right direction with your coding...Lord knows I'm sick of
seeing the RPG III stuff (including major use of the cycle....I
understand the cycle but apparently the other folks here don't have a
clue...).

If Kronos can end the cycle usage I know MY life will be easier since I
don't have to explain every program to developers who can't read &
understand the code. 


Thanks,
Tommy Holden

Granted, I am on a beefed up 520 but that is almost instantaneous.

Try this:
1-Once again time interactive.  This time do it by looking at your
joblog. 
 You should see two messages.
CHGPGM PGM(ROB/AADELME) USRPRF(*OWNER) USEADPAUT(*YES)
Program AADELME in ROB changed. 
Hit F1 on both.
Record times
09:26:38
09:26:38
Now, I did notice one discrepancy.  If I do a CHGPGM <F4> it records the

time that I first prompted for the command, and NOT the time that it 
started running.  Because the first time that I ran CHGPGM it said 10 
seconds - no flipping way it was that slow.  I even ran a CHPGM 
USRPRF(*USER) USEADPAUT(*NO) and back without prompting and the last 
CHGPGM was subsecond.  Make sure that you are NOT counting the prompt 
time.

2 - Now that you have discounted the prompt time let's try submitting
the 
command to batch with 
SBMJOB CMD(CHGPGM PGM(ROB/AADELME) USRPRF(*OWNER) USEADPAUT(*YES)) 
JOB(CHGPGM) LOG(4 0 *SECLVL) LOGCLPGM(*YES)
Look at that joblog.
09:30:37 - CHGPGM PGM(ROB/AADELME) USRPRF(*OWNER) USEADPAUT(*YES)
09:30:37 - Program AADELME in ROB changed. 

What this may show us is that your 820 may be constrained interactively
by 
the "interactive tax" that IBM puts on it.  If so, then the more you can

SBMJOB on, the better.

Understand?

So is Kronos adopting an "application only" strategy where the data is 
secured and the only way to access it is through programs that adopt 
authority?  Speaking as a customer of Kronos time clock software that's 
kind of cool.
