Ah yes, RAID :-( Unfortunately you have to get the program into BEBUG state before you can start the process of profiling, then enter a "$" or "#" at the ever-popular user-friendly "::" prompt, then "C", then when the program executes a "STOP" it goes back to "::" again and you have to enter "C" again to get back to TCL. At least 3 user interactions and the user has to have TCL access by the look of it (I haven't tested that). And you couldn't do it at all in a PHANTOM.
Whereas for the UD model, to get coarse-level timings, you just change your menu program (or your UniObjects host?) to add a "-G" to the "RUN ..." statements it emits, or even put one in the LOGIN Paragraph. 'Look Ma, no hands!', the user doesn't even have to be aware of what's going on, and you can profile a PHANTOM job. I have found very-low-level profiling useful in a development or test environment, but often only after coarse-level profiling in Production has identified which little beastie is soaking up all the CPU!

Using RAID, you can generate program/subroutine timings (#) and instruction counting ($). Take a look at the RAID information in the BASIC book to see if they help. Regards, LeRoy F.
