Subject: RPG III program calls faster than RPG IV????


All,

I was doing some benchmarking on an unused 515 running v5r4, and I'm seeing 
some results that
surprised me...

5M 50M
OPM calling OPM 6s 62s
Dynamic Program Call 12s 122s
Bound Procedure 1s 4s

--In the first case, an RPG III *PGM was calling another RPG III *PGM (which 
returned with LR =
*OFF).
--In the second case, an RPG IV *PGM was calling another RPG IV *PGM (which 
returned with LR = *OFF).
--In the third, an RPG IV *PGM was calling a RPG IV procedure in a *SRVPGM.

Both of the called programs and the called procedure simply RETURN.


I'm a little surprise to see RPG III program calls performing better than 
RPG IV program calls. I
thought perhaps it was activation group related. Initially, I had *NEW 
calling *CALLER. I tried
changing both program to run in the same named activation group. That had no 
effect. So I tried
changing both to DFTACTGRP(*YES). That had a little effect, lowering the 
times to 11s and 110s.

Does anybody have a explanation?
