You'll probably also want to use the best hardware optimization compile options (ARCH and TUNE) for your particular machine.
ARCH(5) with TUNE(7) or TUNE(8) is very safe if you're not sure what to do. Binaries generated using those options will run all the way back on z900/z800 machines, but they will be optimized for z9 or z10, respectively. That's probably a good balance if you're not sure of the target deployment machine(s). - - - - - Timothy Sipples IBM Consulting Enterprise Software Architect Based in Tokyo, Serving IBM Japan / Asia-Pacific E-Mail: [email protected] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
