Hi all, Due to a requirement by my client, I have developped a module in two languages: HL-ASSEMBLER and ENTERPRISE-COBOL-4.2. The module has a lot of mathematic operations and calls a variable number of times to CSF to cipher, but there is NO ACCESS to FILES. It is coded as RENT in two languages.
I was surprised with CPU consumption: Assm takes DOUBLE CPU than COBOL to perform the same work. I have reformatted all (as I know) the assembler eliminating pack operations and using registers and logical/binary operations as much as possible. I used a workarea provided by calling program to eliminate OBTAIN STORAGE .....but at the end... COBOL wins. has anyone any experience or suggestion about? Thanks a lot.
