Hello Hobart Spitz,
Thank you for your reply. :-) I have yet to read it in depth. I'm
replying quickly because while you provide very interesting and (I'm sure)
useful information, I'm thinking more along the line of actual physical /
virtual usage.
On my 8 GB system (with a 40GB paging area), I notice some Rexx programs I
wrote can cause excessive paging and thus really slow down. Of course some
programming changes (such as dropping variables) helps, but I would
appreciate a better understand of how ooRexx memory usage works in respect
to I guess NOW -- strings (both character only and numbers -- if that even
makes a difference). One aspect of numbers, of course, is the Numeric
statement and how say "numeric digits 1000000" or even "numeric digits
10000000" (that's 1 and 10 million), etc.
Honestly, I'm also wondering in a more general term for memory usage, too,
and not just numbers / numeric. I have need (IN SOME CASES) to reference
large amounts of data and would like to, well, do a better job, by
understanding and hopefully writing better code based upon a better
understanding.
Anyway, any help would be great. :-)
Bert.
