QUESTION:Has anyone ever heard that LOCAL-STORAGE could improve efficiency of a
COBOL program?
I'm working in the IBM mainframe arena, with non-Object Oriented COBOL
programs. A standard is proposed that says to add LOCAL-STORAGE to
every program, and to move "variables" from WORKING-STORAGE to
LOCAL-STORAGE, while leaving "constants" in WORKING-STORAGE. VALUE
clauses are to be removed from the "variables", and any existing
"initialization" logic (procedure statements is how I read this) that
sets a value for these items will be deleted.
When I read about LOCAL-STORAGE, I'm bothered by this proposal for
several reasons.
This makes me wonder if the proposal I'm reading is what the writer
intended?
ANSWER: Working-Storage exists while the program is loaded, Local-Storage is
created when the sub-program is CALLed and is deleted on EXIT PROGRAM
(or GOBACK). This means that in a program that is many modules being
CALLed and EXITed the total memory requirement is [slightly] less.
If main memory is a significant problem then this may save a few
milliseconds swap time. Otherwise it just wastes CPU time in creating
and initialising heap storage.
In situations where the program is reentrant or serially-reusable or
threaded then there may be several copies of a 'Local-Storage' existing
at one time, one for each thread that is active in that program.
