I'm with Vern here. Or actually, with whoever said not to optimize.

I think it is always worth striving for better readability and better
maintainability. If there are algorithm-level improvements to be
made, make those. Other than that, leave the optimization to the
compiler or query engine. Especially if you don't notice that
something is too slow. I haven't really tested RPG code next to C
code to see which is faster, but from the seat of my pants, RPG
programs feel pretty fast. (And I don't even use compiler
optimization.)

If some piece of business logic can be expressed naturally and
readably in RPG, then that's a perfectly good (and very possibly best)
way to express it, in my opinion.
