Greetings, Today serving at a client location, I got sudden word that they were going to attempt to upgrade Object REXX on a test server. Alarmed as I (last time I was serving here) remembered a note in the database about "Object REXX 2.1.1 was the end of the line" as newer versions would gripe at some trailing NULL characters in source code files. I soon learned from the tech lead that the note was specific to the Agent server, whereas they were planning to upgrade the Hub server.
And... drum roll... They were not just proposing to "finally" upgrade to the last IBM build (2.1.3) but all the way to current ooRexx! I fortunately warned the tech lead to save off the RxFTP.dll file, they did so. After the upgrade, the tech lead did a performance test. They had some trace/logging turned on for the test. However... They observed a 45% performance throughput improvement by upgrading Object REXX 2.1.1 to current ooRexx! And that was with ZERO code change! Probably even a better margin of improvement with the code not running in debug/trace mode.
