The following high-performance methods
optimize data retrieval and report processing:
- Temporary rotation
of network and hierarchical data sources to create an alternate
view of the data.
- Automatic alternate
file views with the AUTOPATH feature.
- Automatic indexed
retrieval (AUTOINDEX).
- Retrieval of
pre-sorted data using the TABLEF command.
- Preserving
the internal matrix of a report using the SAVEMATRIX parameter.
- Compiling expressions
into machine code to provide faster processing.
Note: These techniques may not be available for all data
sources. See your data adapter documentation to determine if a technique
is valid for your data source.
