Hi, I have a program in which I have 104 PL4 fields tht are used for various counters, and when the program starts it spends a significant amount of time initializing all of those fields to zero.
we used to use ZAP field,=PL4'0' and then I found an entry (on the web) that said it would be "slightly" faster to use MVC, so I changed it to 104 MVC filed,=PL4'0'. Is there not a quicker way to do this? I know that I can ripple the first byte of a field for up to 256 bytes with a single instruction, but can that same type of thing be done with a 4 byte packed field? If not, is there a quicker way to initialize these fields without doing each one separately? Thanks for any tips. Brian
