I said simple and straightforward. Always program so that your code is easily maintainable - think of that next person. |

But i read somewhere, that each DLI call is costly. So we should try saving dli calls.
Yes, but when it comes to maintainability, I am not very sure how the command code would be interpreted if there is a change in underlying database organisation, especially if underlying database is a HS (Hierarchical sequential) database, given that it does not use pointers. |

What do you think IMS is doing behind the scenes? That database org will not be changing to HS - take my word.
Try it anyway you can think of - then pick the best. |
