The catalog is quite different in univers vs unidata.
As for universe you need to place the cataloged routine in shared memory to get better speed. Then there's no need to read it from disk - not even at the initial call. Also all users share one copy of it thus saving memory - if that's worth anything given todays memory sizes. Global and 'normal' cataloging both places the routines in the same ../uc/catdir driectory to be read when needed, globals as *routine mormal ones as *account*routine. As opposed to local cataloging that only makes a VOC entry to the file where the routine resides. ( You may also use $ instead of (the first only?) * ) In unidata ( I think) global cataloging places the routine in shared memory and thus will be faster on first call. -- mats Ross Ferris skrev:
Does this hold true across U2? And/or do you get same sort of benefit from global catalog?
