Whoops... Mental Note: Calculating a value of 138 (142 minus length of the comp-3 field) DOES NOT actually cause the source line to change.

Although there is a "drop off" in the performance gain, which is also not "converging", I can no longer reasonably get the MOVE to be outdone by the INITIALIZE.

Howdy,

Changed all OCCURS to 25000.

With MOVE

With INITIALIZE


They both took longer, but the INITIALIZE is still much more expensive.
