If I am copying literal text into a char array, which do you think is better:
strcpy(dest,"LITERAL"); OR memcpy(dest,"LITERAL",8); ?? I lean towards memcpy because the C run-time reference says that it is a builtin function and done in-line. Which I would guess would mean better performance. Why don't I just look at the generated code? Because I don't have a C compiler for z/OS. I'm writing my code on Linux using GCC. -- Q: What do theoretical physicists drink beer from? A: An EIN stein. Maranatha!
