  • Speeding up select processing...Hi Folks, I have the following code in my program and it works fine but is rather "sluggish". I have even moved it to the beginning of the program …

    Some changes which would reduce the amount of processing per cycle:
    * delete lines 290 & 300
    * move line 310 after line 320
    * change line 330 to: IF NOT t(2) OR t(2)>=8 AND t(2)
