Of course I'll give this a try for tonight's runs and let you know the results, but it doesn't answer why these two programs run soooo slooow under COBOL Server compared to Server For COBOL. Specifically, what is it that these two programs are doing that is operating so differently between the COBOL Server and Server For COBOL run-times that Task Scheduler has such a huge affect on the former and not the latter? It can't be a general thing because our other two programs running under Task Scheduler are executing in approximately the same times as their Net Express counterparts.
So it's bugging me; where or what is the difference?
