In Response To: Re: IDS 11.5 Procedures slow at seemningly ran.... (Art Kagel)

Thank you very much Art for taking the time to answer my post! Next
off my apologies for my noobness :).

I believe this is the version you were looking for
iif.11.50.UC5DE.Linux-RHEL4 (thank you David).

I am talking about the time the perl script is invoked until I obtain
a DB connection and the first statement is executed in the SPL (which
happens to be an insert, hence I know its timestamp).
