The saving is in the typing that doesn't have to be done with an OPEN _blah READ _foo
Vs the TRANS .... The COST of this saving may be in the readability of the code and long term maintenance. If you adopted TRANS as a "standard" then I'd say go for it - if not, why complicate your life (I believe if there were multiple file reads, then READ would outperform TRANS) Ross Ferris Stamina Software Visage > Better by Design! >-----Original Message----- >From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of >Hennessey, Mark F. >Sent: Friday, 7 October 2005 4:55 AM >To: u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org >Subject: RE: [U2] OPEN vs TRANS > >I think you could test this by writing the code both ways, >then doing a VLIST to see what actual basic object code would be. > >-----Original Message----- >From: George Gallen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] >Sent: Thursday, October 06, 2005 2:11 PM >To: u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org >Subject: [U2] OPEN vs TRANS > > >Is there any savings on using TRANS() vs > an OPEN at the top and a READ in the program > (Assuming I am only reading 1 record 1 time) > >This is using UV10 > >George >------- >u2-users mailing list >u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org >To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/ >------- >u2-users mailing list >u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org >To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/ ------- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/
