Is there anybody out there who can help me solve the following
problem.
I want to log the cpu-time spend searching a data base.
I looked at the PROCTIME intrinsic, but this will only tell me
how much CPU time is spend in the current process. In this case
the user-interface is launching sub processes to do the searches.
Then I tried to get hold of the HPCPUSECS variable, before and
after the search and log the difference. I got strange results, so
I checked the manuals and noticed that HPCPUSECS, if retrieved from
the CI process, will return the number of cpusecs consumed during
the entire session, but if retrieved from any other process it will
return the cpusecs spend in that current process. (silly, isn't it)
Now I am lost.
 
Regards,
Peter
