You my friend get the micro-management award for this thread. In a message dated 3/2/2011 9:24:18 P.M. Pacific Standard Time, dmc...@imb.com.au writes: Actually, (at least in UniData) it is a performance improvement :). It has to do with how BASIC compiles the code into the object file and tags each line with a line number. Each time it jumps to a line or progresses to the next it must process the line number to update it for when it shows errors/warnings etc. By reducing the number of lines the instructions are on, you actually end up with both smaller object code and faster execution. How much though depends on how tight your looping and all but 99%+ cases the difference is dwarfed by disk access times, etc as to make it not worth it as a human optimisation task. _______________________________________________ U2-Users mailing list U2-Users@listserver.u2ug.org http://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users ______________________________________________________________________ This email has been scanned by the MessageLabs Email Security System.
