I'm with you, Charles. My thoughts were: - Dynamically allocated table of variable size, being searched inefficiently. The larger the table the more CPU is wasted. - Dynamically allocated table of variable size, being initialized for each record. (Don't laugh, I see this again ang again in our code). - What is the LE STORAGE option? Is it asking to initialize newly GETMAINed heap, or all DSA storage. -- Peter Hunkeler -- Peter Hunkeler ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
