TIRFDTEN
TIRFDTEN is a called module supplied with CA Gen. TIRFDTEN is called every time an CA Gen action diagram uses the DATEDAYS function.
DATEDAYS converts a positive numeric value to a valid date that represents the number of days since December 31, 0000.
DATEDAYS generates the following COBOL statements:
| Statement |
Quantity |
| Call |
1 |
| Compute |
2 |
| Move |
2 |
| Initialize |
1 |
| IF |
1 |
Heavy use of DATEDAYS can drastically increase CPU costs.
Hints
If a CA Gen action diagram uses DATEDAYS more than once for the same numeric value:
-
use DATEDAYS once for the desired numeric value
-
save the date returned in a local view
-
use the local view instead of DATEDAYS for the remaining instances
-
pass the local view to the import view of any called action diagrams that need it
