Dear all I would like to tune some IF THEN ELSE statements by changing operands positions of OR & AND statements in some of my COBOL II v3.4 programs.
Can we say that if always VAR1 assigned to VALUE1 the following statement (VAR1 EQUAL 'VALUE1') OR (VAR2 EQUAL 'VALUE2) has better performance than (VAR2 EQUAL 'VALUE2) OR (VAR1 EQUAL 'VALUE1') ? In a similar way, can we say that if always VAR1 is not equal to VALUE1 the following statement (VAR2 EQUAL 'VALUE2) AND (VAR1 EQUAL 'VALUE1') has better performance than (VAR1 EQUAL 'VALUE1') AND (VAR2 EQUAL 'VALUE2) ?
