Re: MIDRANGE-L Digest, Vol 7, Issue 2208

That would do it.

SHARE(*YES) would help since you're returning with *LR=ON. But you can't
simply turn it on without testing it like any other change.

There isn't a magic wand, a poorly performing application is going to need
changes in order to perform better.

John,

Yes, all RPG programs end with *INLR = *on. And it would be 52,000 times
because the same pricing routines are called twice for each record.

The pricing routine is a very complex system and I will not be allowed to
modify it unless I can justify it and then Q/A has to have the time to test
it, which I am told could be a 6 month process. So I am trying to find a way
to make it run faster without modifying the one set of programs that makes
our business profitable.

Thanks,

Marvin

Marvin,

You didn't reference it, so I have to ask about the most obvious
performance tax - Are you opening and closing these programs every time
you call them, or are they left open at exit?

Leaving the programs open at exit will spare you the cost of program
initialization 26000 times.
