If most of the runtime of a rexx is executing host commands (TSO commands etc.) then a compilation will benefit only a little. But if the time spending at executing only rexxcode is significant You will gain significant performance gains. For intensive use of rexxcode You can often run the same code 5 times faster compiled.
Note that if You is calling an external subroutine from a compiled rexx You better INCLUDE that subroutine in the main loadmodule. Otherwise will the subroutine be loaded from STEPLIB at every call to it. (Imagine calling the subroutine for ever record on a file...) _______________________________________________________________ Thomas Berg IT Utveckling FöreningsSparbanken AB (Publ) / SWEDBANK > -----Ursprungligt meddelande----- > Från: IBM Mainframe Discussion List > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] För Jan Vanbrabant > Skickat: den 10 maj 2006 09:27 > Till: IBM-MAIN@BAMA.UA.EDU > Ämne: gains with compiled REXX > > > Hi, > > Performance/time gains with compiled REXX? > The answer is 'it depends' of course. > > But any experiences to share? > Have benchmarks been done at your knowledge? > Is there some material available about which areas > compilation can add value? > > Jan > > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access > instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the > message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at > http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
