pleasing and obviously less likely to get you into trouble, but has
anyone done any serious study on the cost of using this service?
I don't know if this constitutes serious study, but I just wrote a
little test program.
I created a system level name/token pair, retrieved and deleted it
1,000,000 times.
I know that TCBTTIME is not a programming interface, but after the loop
completed
TCBTTIME =X'0000001B FD00B480.
This is roughly 27 seconds, for an average of .000027 second per round trip.
Then I ran a test just doing 1,000,000 retrievals. In this case
TCBTTIME = X'00000000 FFE0FC20. This is less than 1 second for 1
create, 1,000,000 retrievals and 1 delete.
These test runs suggest that named/tokens are not too resource intensive.
