Re: Help improve performance of RPG program - Long Post

Alan,

I didn't make it clear that your dummy update statement works great for the
1.5 million record detail.  I just don't see any reason to create functions
you'll only call once or twice when you could use a procedure instead.  Why
code:

Update DummyFile
  Set DummyField = (Select Distinct
OPENIFSFORNEW('/home/yourdirectory/transmit.txt')
>From DummyFile)

for an OPENIFSFORNEW function when you can just write:

call OPENIFSFORNEW('/home/yourdirectory/transmit.txt')

for an OPENIFSFORNEW procedure?
