" Thanks for the other point of view.
If I have an interactive program and it needs to chain to 3 files once, I was wondering if the user would notice a difference in performance Using SQL versus a chain.
(And I am not concerned about thousands of a second because the user would not notice that)"
In my experience, yes. I tested this most recently in the spring when we installed our new 720 running 7.1. The CHAIN consistently took .001 seconds to run, while the first SELECT INTO took .500 seconds. Subsequent SELECT INTO's ran faster (less than .1) but never caught up to the speed of CHAIN. Also, I could do 500 CHAIN's before the first SELECT INTO completed.
I use SQL a lot, but it necessitates a different design than RLA (and I still use RLA when more appropriate).
