Plain SCATTER *is* just assigning the values to variables - I can't imagine that there would be any difference at all; certainly none that would be slower. SCATTER NAME, OTOH, creates an object with those values, so while that shouldn't be particularly slow, it is at least a different process and could have an effect. Of course, there's only one way to find out - test it in real-world conditions. -- Ed Leafe -- http://leafe.com -- http://dabodev.com ___ Post Messages to: ProFox@leafe.com Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.

Re: Is SCATTER slower than just assigning/using variables?
Event Tracking is very cool for finding bottlenecks. I seem to remember scatter being slower than assigning to variables...but I could be wrong. I haven't used it much lately...

Is SCATTER slower than just assigning/using variables?
(VFP9SP1) I've got a "slow" process that I'm trying to speed up. There are several SCATTERs. I admit that I've not yet run the eventtracking and coverage profiler over these areas but wanted to throw this question out in the meanwhile: is SCATTER something that's usually slow? Perhaps if I only wanted a few properties out of a cursor record, I'd be better to just assign them to variables instead of using the easy SCATTER method? tia, --Michael -- Michael J.
