Hey George, I've always established dict names using TRANS in the base file, and then created my SUBR type DICT and passed them that way. It just makes it *so* much easier to code, and have really never noticed any difference between the TRANS method or using OPEN and READS.
Plus most of the times I was doing this my boss was charging the client 175 an hour and speed of programming was considered MUCH more important than speed of execution. The way I look at it, when I started programming 30 years ago systems were millions of times slower, and in another 30 years they'll be so stinking fast that coding for speed will go the way of the Suchomimus and the Iguanodon! Like...systems will be accessing data at quad-terabytes per nanosecond over wireless photonic motherboards the size of a dime.....you know? http://www.dinosauria.com/dml/dmlf.htm Allen -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of George Gallen Sent: Thursday, October 06, 2005 11:11 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/
