ARexx: Use of external procedures
« on: December 10, 2004, 01:11:57 PM »
Hi,

I've written a rather lengthy ARexx-script, consisting of a huge number of external funktions. They are called this way:

CALL "REXX:GiveMeAUniqueNumber.rexx"
UniqueNumber = Result

Nothing wrong so far. But every time this funktion is called, it is loaded from disk into memory, which slows down the performance considerably.

Question:
Is there a way to keep that funktion in memory for the duration of the calling program?

Thanks,

Jettah
