That's weird, because that is one of the things that an *optimizing* compiler tends to notice: hey, I tried to optimize this, and when I did I optimized it right out of existence!
Have you tested with full optimization on? (My remarks are general in nature and not specific to this compiler.)

John, We're almost to the point to begin trying to measure performance improvement, so if I find anything significant I'll post it later, but have you seen the SHARE presentation from Tom Ross where he documents how performance improvements are achieved? It's informative, and can help guide you in what to look for. As far as other glitches, I posted a message yesterday about the absence of IGYOP messages, and specifically IGYOP3091-W. In further experimenting, we have discovered that it's not just that the message isn't being produced, it's that the code that can never be executed is not being discarded as it was in COBOL 4.2. So, there's no message about it because the compiler is no longer doing what it used to do. We intend to open a PMR in the morning and see what response that yields. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
