You will not see the source if you include the NOSLINE option when you compile the program.

EXECLOAD simply loads a file into storage. If you display memory, you'll see the source (compiled or non-compiled data directly from your file) ... and that's what is interpreted when you run the non-compiled EXEC or run directly from a compiled EXEC. If you see a performance benefit from compile, it will still be there if EXECLOADed. A non-compiled EXEC must still be interpreted, even if EXECLOADed. cheers, wayne Don Russell wrote, in part, on 1/4/2007 2:12 PM: > Is there any performance benefit to compiling a REXX EXEC if it will > be EXECLOAD'd for the lifetime of it's use? > > For example, I have a service machine which, upon startup, EXECLOADs > some EXECs it needs over and over.
