One last question.  Obviously the "costly to obtain" is relative to your
machine, but it would be better if I had something to relate it to.  For
instance, it is more costly to have a 65535 character variable vs. a 65535
VARYING character variable if you needed to %trim a lot on that variable.
That may not be apples to apples, but I am just trying to grasp what
"costly
to obtain" means.  If it was costly as in "similar to having to start the
JVM for your job" I would definitely go another route.

Aaron, I have used the PSDS throughout my career, in programs ranging from
large monolithic programs to small service-type programs called thousands or
even millions of times.

At no point have I ever noticed a performance hit from using the PSDS.
Never.
