Re: RPG IV Performance

>> His response was "Sure, if
you want the program size to be 5 - 10 times the size of an RPGIII
program."
When I asked him to explain that, he only said that, in his experience,
this is
always true, and that it would have a very negative performance<<



Sounds like the "Consultant"   likes RPGIII and is not comfortable with
RPGIV,  (ask him if the trigger program will use pointers to the before and
After image and not hard code the Before and After image area in the D/S.
That will tell you if "He/She don't know RPGIV")

I have about 60 triggers running on 8 AS/400's keeping our remote sites
"Insync" with the central site.    No performance problems.

If the Consultant worry's about Performance and object size FIRST and
Functionality, Ease of Maintenance, and Bulletproofness,    I'd get another
consultant.

Who the @#$ looks at the object size of a program to determine that you
shouldn't write in RPGIV ?


BTW, if you want a copy of a softcoded(via pointers) trigger program let me
know.
