Since you have the 2 pieces of code wouldn't the best approach be to benchmark it on the system which is going to run it.
Or am I just getting old remembering when we needed to benchmark........... -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 13 December 2004 15:33 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [U2] LOOP or GOTO on READNEXT I've seen 2 ways to read a client key, change the length to 6 digits, then write it back out, delete the old one and move on: EXAMPLE 1 of 2: !(FIXEMPNO) - Fix the employee number length open '','CUSTEMP' to CF else stopm 'Not' select CF 10: readnext K else stop read REC from CF,K then NK = fmt(K,"R%6") write REC on CF,NK delete CF,K end go 10 end EXAMPLE 2 of 2: !(FIXEMPNO) - Fix the employee number length DONE = 0 open '','CUSTEMP' to CF else stopm 'Not' select CF loop readnext K else DONE = 1 read REC from CF,K then NK = fmt(K,"R%6") write REC on CF,NK delete CF,K end repeat end My intent is not to start a religious discussion about GO or GOTOs because I see that method all over the place and regardless of why, who or whatever, my question is, which is faster. (I prefer using loop..repeat syntax, FWIW). -- Karl L.
