     I still have a couple of customers who require tokenization due to
server speed and server RAM limitations.  They have over 100 customer
service reps running a huge order entry input processing table and they have
a web site that is continuously making tomcat calls to filePro request
output processing-only tables that return invoice information and other data
to their web-based customers.  The faster speed and much smaller code size
of the tokenized tables is the only way that they can function.  

    Occasionally when they are testing new code by running the PRC, their
server  (SCO Openserver 6, HP DL380s with 32-gigs RAM) will slow to a crawl
or start issuing various lack of memory  messages.  And yes, I suppose
One-Gate or getting a newer, faster server would help, but that's something
they will only tackle if absolutely necessary.
