Issue/Introduction
The ENBPIU00 utility is delivered as a REXX source program suitable to be executed via, for example, the Batch REXX utility IRXJCL
The manual states it may be compiled to gain performance.
How to do that?
Resolution
First of all, compiling a REXX requires additional product "IBM Compiler for REXX on zSeries" (program number 5695-013) to be installed
Then, the REXX may be compiled and linked into a load module using any of the procedures supplied by the product, for example, REXXCL
Please refer to IBM manual BM Compiler and Library for REXX on IBM Z: User's Guide and Reference for details about compiling
The compiled load module may then be executed directly from JCL
The REXX runtime library prefix.SEAGLPA needs to be available in either STEPLIB or linklist
Additional Information
Testing showed that the compiled utility runs about 80% faster taking about 80% less CPU than the interpreted utility
