 | i'm writing a yearend payroll report and discovered that running it in
2.5 slows the process down so that it is taking more than 30 minutes to
run. the report runs in about 2 minutes in version 2.2. the cov files
that are new with 2.5 are usually small in size--168 to 468 bits,
right?. the printer.cov file for this app is 7904. the run is 4
different programs summarizing payroll for the year and quarter. running
it in 2.5 also screws up 2nd & 3rd pages of the second report--the font
is changing, or something similar. Again, running this in 2.2 does not
have this problem. i think something is wrong with 2.5 and printing. i
can send you all the cov files and copies of the printed reports with
the errors when run in 2.5. Let me know if you want that, or the code.
thanks

Bob,
If I understand your message, then you should look at SET COVERAGE ON|OFF in
the on-line help. You may need to set it OFF and recompile your application.
If SET COVERAGE is ON, it will slow execution since it must take time to
track and record program activity.
