When accessing r-code files stored in a standard library, Progress generally reads the files directly from the library instead of swapping the files into temporary sort files. However, over a network, direct reads might actually take longer than reading r-code files once and storing them locally in temporary sort files.

If you specify -pls with memory-mapped libraries, Progress ignores it. For more information on r-code libraries, see OpenEdge Deployment: Managing 4GL Applications and OpenEdge Development: Progress 4GL Handbook .
