Compressing executable size!!

[GRP]

We are using Informix IDS 7.31 and earlier we were using Informix online 5.x. Now as I observed the executable file size (*.4ge,*.x) is bigger in Ver 7.31 compared to older one. Is there any way out to reduce the file size? I tried some of the steps which were given in manual, but it did'nt reduce much. Any new ways?

Hi:

Don't mean to elaborate on the obvious, but since your "4ge" programs are "C" execuatables have you done a:

strip programname.4ge

Sometime the compiler leaves code used only by a "C" debugger. This isn't required for production code.

regards,

I am using strip command regularly to compress the size. But there is no considerable decrease in size after using strip.

Basicallly, I am looking out for any other means and was eager to know how others are mananging.

Thanks for your suggestion,

G.R.Patil.
