>Where did you get that statistic from? IBM Canada. They don't like to publicise it, since it looks bad to sell machines to run their code.
I did verify it, empirically, using STROBE on some production jobs. For example: We do not write code to open a file, alllocate buffers, and actually read or write data. The requests are OPEN -- IBM code does the work. READ (or WRITE), and IBM code does the work. CLOSE, and guess who does the work. Those are generic statements (OPEN, READ/WRITE, and CLOSE), but how many IBM-Written statements do you think you think they generate. Consider LOGON (one statement/command) and, especially with RACF involved, how much IBM code is generated. Or, a single SQL statement. Or, even JAVA -- who wrote the JVM? Need I go on? - Too busy driving to stop for gas! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
