OK, but what are we talking about here, in performance terms? NUMPROC(MIG) versus NUMPROC(NOPFD) offered some performance benefit in the past, but Enterprise COBOL 5.x offers a performance benefit, too.
Basically, is this 2 steps forward 1 step back, or is it 1 step forward 2 steps back? The overall performance outcome is what matters, surely. I assumed that a hypothetical NUMPROC(MIG) would continue to offer some sort of performance benefit with Enterprise COBOL 5.x, but that's not actually a given. The 5.x compiler has a different design, and what was beneficial in the past may be less beneficial now -- or not beneficial at all. Let's just note that assumption for now. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Timothy Sipples IT Architect Executive, Industry Solutions, IBM z Systems, AP/GCG/MEA E-Mail: [email protected] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
