Improving Report Processing

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.
