Knee-Jerk reaction! Speaking as a long-time performance analyst, JAVA can be optimised. >Even on a zAAP it would still be expensive. The software costs probably mitigate the hardware costs. And, SAS CPU (as an interpreter) isn't cheap either. I have not done an evaluation, but I would bet WPS beats out SAS by cost alone. The only way to find out is to meaure, without prejudice. - 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
