SirTune and Model 204 quad types

The basic unit of work in compiled SOUL is the "quad." Every SOUL statement generates one or more quads. By breaking down Model 204 processing by quad types (using the QUAD parameter on STATE reports), you can get an idea of the general type of work occurring in an Online.

To interpret a QUAD report, it is important to know what the individual quads do. $Function quads are easy to interpret since they are listed by function name. Other quads are listed here with a brief description of their function.

Model 204 quads

INSERT	Add a fieldname/value pair to a record for the INSERT statement.
ANDQ	Perform a logical AND in a 204 expression (possibly in an IF statement).

BNOT	Boolean NOT. Invert a bit map as part of FIND statement or in list manipulation.
BOPER	The part of a FIND statement associated with looking up a a fieldname/value pair in the ordered index. Never occurs in a group context FIND.
