I tested the Verify function on a 4,700-line order entry ILE RPG program containing 37 database files and a multi-format display file. Using a development-only Dell XPS600 with 2 gB main storage, a 3.2 gHz processor, and a 10,000 RPM C: drive (where everything's located), the second Verify using the Eclipse/WDSCi interface took 205 seconds and the second Verify using CoDe took 7 seconds. I confirmed caching was active and did two Verify's to make sure everything was cached. This may be a (serious) bug or it may be the nature of Eclipse. Many shops have batch production and compiles get backed in in the job queue. A slow Verify and poor compile throughput could play havoc with productivity, problem fixes, and project schedules. While the CoDe option remains available and is superior to Eclipse in many ways, numerous CoDe problems uncorrected for the at least five years (lockups, problem with MAXDEV(*FILE), cache corruption, flakey communications manager) leave it in the "marginally reliable" category. -reeve
