Re: Vertex 2000: Post 2 of 2

TED,

This sounds more convincing than all previous posts and other info I have read! Up till now I thought this was just another silver bullit; now I am starting to wonder...

Question:

- did you discuss the possible performance impacts of the solution? I guess some performance penalty might be there; especially in some routines inside loops performance penalties might be a problem!?

- <<couple of nitty-gritty questions I asked regarding situations that the 'Enabler' might not be able to handle (like non-character display data),>>
What is that; non character display data - what does it have to do with windowing date fields?

<<1) It is relatively easy to 'phase in' (you can intermix bigitized and non-bigitized data and programs)>>
I suppose on a per program base; not on a per-source module base?

<<
I would also expect this technique to have problems with programs that have been 'CA-OPTIMIZER'd. Again, simply turning off optimization should alleviate the problem>>
turning of speed-optimizing also has a performance penalty; but in many cases that might not be a problem, i guess.

Good report, I liked it!

Regards,

John
