Improve IPDT's script output


Question

Is there any way to improve the efficiency of the Script source generated by the IPDT (Integrated Processing of Data and Text) product?

Answer

  IPDT generates inefficent SCRIPT source because it creates duplicate macros
  with different names.  Part of the performance problems can be overcome by
  deleting these extra macros. Add the following to your profile or source
  document and see if it helps:

      .dm em on
      .'em &*1
      .se *temp = substr &*1 2
      .dm &*temp off
      .dm off

  The same problem exists in the ASF product in OV/MVS and you can use the
  same macro to delete macro definitions if you run out of storage a lot.
