Everything everyone has said makes total sense to me now. I suppose I was
comparing apples to oranges when I compared assembler to cobol.
When you put it this way how much money can be saved by tuning assembler
programs, I can't even guess how much money is wasted on Cobol/DB2 programs.
Often times a cobol/db2 program may run for an hour and nobody seems to notice
it as long as it doesn't affect the batch window. A better written cobol program
with properly tuned DB2 queries could reduce the run time to say 15 minutes.
I've seen this many times.
Best regards,
