will the performance of cobol pgm will be improved by removing commented lines?

Removing the comment lines will bring down the lines of count but will that improve the performance of the cobol program.

Pls let me know the ways to tune a cobol prgram to improve the performance.

You're joking, right? If you don't understand what a compiler does, why are you concerned with COBOL programs? It isn't an idle question. If someone is paying you to modify their programs, and you have so seriously misreprested your skills, you are doing no favors for anyone and the risks to your employer and to your employer's customers (the rest of us) are beyond description.

Seriously. This is like asking if a pound of rocks weighs more than a pound of feathers, and then asking how determine the precise weight of a building.

If you are serious, I'd suggest reading a book about any [i]compiled[/b] language to see what a compiler does. Interpreted languages operate differently but even there, comments are... If I go any farther, I'll be doing us both a disservice.

semigeezer,

There is a famous saying that 'No doubt is a silly doubt'.

I asked you very basic quesion. I know what a compiler does, I just want to make sure what I think is right. thanks for the suggestions.

Anyway I asked one more question

Here is my answer to your second post (I'm sure the first one was a joke):
Logic, Logic and again...Logic.

Again, this is my opinion regarding COBOL program.
