Re: CHAIN vs. SETLL (was Re: DOW vs DOU)

[Mark Lazarus <mlazarus@xxxxxxxx>]

Greg,

 Since this is a DOW vs DOU vs CHAIN, etc. I'm going to criticize your
first example:
 
>And now for some real fun, lets debate:

>*IN90   DOWEQ*OFF
>KEY1    DELETRCD1        90
>        ENDDO

 Since *IN90 can be *ON before you get into the loop, you must either
manually set *IN90 off before you execute the loop or, more elegantly IMHO:

*IN90   DOUEQ*ON
KEY1    DELETRCD1        90
        ENDDO

 As an aside, if you are trying to delete many records, I wonder if the
SETLL, READE, DELET method is more efficient...
