Re: large difference in job run times between bound procedure call, and procedure call from within program.

FOUND IT!!

we have been struggling for years with getting our ILE environment in a
proper state.

multiple cases of advice (bad?, or misunderstood?) we had changed some
command defaults,
the first was changing ACTGRP to *CALLER ...
well we just found another one, we changed CLOSQLCSR on the CRTSQLRPGI
from *ENDACTGRP to *ENDMOD.

when I created my *MODULE with the original default CLOSQLCSR(*ENDACTGRP),
my run time went back to what it was back when it was a native i/o
subroutine.

thanks to all!!

I am not using a service program, I have compiled this up as a *module,

As I indicated above, LR means nothing in a service program. There is no
RPG runtime bound into a service program.

Just a note also, you do not have to type the name the procedure three
times. You only need to type once.
dcl-proc MyProc Extport;
dcl-pi *N;
Parms
end-pi;

end-proc;

here is my 2 cents:

* do not turn on LR in the procedure, have an initialization logic
that is processed only at the first call
* make sure your utility program is not using *NEW activation

------------------------------

I don't have my terms correct, sorry.

we have many programs that have a sub-routine, called "get

allocations".

This routine is found in over a dozen of our programs, and trying to
simplify things, I made it a
procedure, and even migrated from f specs to complete SQL.

However, in a program that invokes this routine 300k times, the run

time

went from 25 seconds, to
350 seconds to sometimes over 400 seconds.

If I put the procedure in the bottom of the program I call it, it

runs as

fast as the sub-routine call.

maybe this is normal for the overhead of having a bound procedure

call,

or

maybe I just don't know what i need to do.
