Programs that run on appserver

[harpreet]

Hello,

I have a program I run on webspeed through the appserver so i can generate an excel spreadsheet. All main webspeed programs sit on unix.

I have come accross a problem with one of my programs. the program takes a long time to run on the appserver causing there to be a timeout. if i transfer that same code into a procedure editor, the output is instant. does anyone know why the appserver does this?

example of the main part of code running on appserver:

FOR EACH 
	stkw001q USE-INDEX ITEM where
	stkw001q.YEAR = v-year AND
	(stkw001q.loc >= v-sloc and
	 stkw001q.loc <= v-floc) NO-LOCK BREAK BY stkw001q.loc BY stkw001q.v-type BY stkw001q.ITEM.

what causes the delay

the delay is caused when writing to each individual cell in excel. its much faster to output to txt file then write to excel
