"always"  ...  So, if you are going for a single record retrieval,
and/or update, CHAINing is always faster. Is CHAINing always BETTER? Is
this going to be the case into the future? 

So, we should always have embedded SQL for multi-record access, and F
specs for single record access and update. Right?

   IMO, there will always be cases where green screen will always be
faster
   for quickie changes and recompiles.
   I still haven't seen WDSC run on a hand held device, but I have seen
   someone modify and recompile a program using the keyboard of a Treo.
    
   And CHAIN will always be faster than SQL for single record access.
