Evaluating performance

Fill in the following worksheet to help you evaluate the performance of your program. If you answer yes to each question, you are probably improving the performance.

In thinking about the performance tradeoff, be sure you understand the function of each option as well as the performance advantages and disadvantages. You might prefer function over increased performance in many instances.

Table 1. Performance-tuning worksheet
Compiler option Consideration Yes?
DYNAM Can you use NODYNAM? Consider the performance tradeoffs.  
OPTIMIZE Do you use OPTIMIZE for production runs? Can you use OPTIMIZE(FULL)?  
SSRANGE Do you use NOSSRANGE for production runs?  
TEST Do you use NOTEST for production runs?  
TRUNC Do you use TRUNC(OPT) when possible?
