And the "takes a lot of IF statements to make one MSU" is true. And we execute a LOT of IF statements, when aggregated across all executions of all programs in a year. In theory, I agree with you. In a shop which is more normal than ours, it would be stupid. In our shop, it not only is "as directed", it shows a "commitment to frugality" mindset. Which impresses management. Kind of like "goes the extra mile". More political than technical. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
