Jim:

I'm very interested in exploring the m2web stuff; unfortunately I've been concentrating on the Windows (cache) Vista because:

        it's somewhat easier to get up and running on the average student's PC
        I need to work with CPRS and I don't have two machines or VMWARE
        I've been fighting some Linux configuration problems on my machine

but I will get to it. In the meantime, I think your installation needs tweaking--I get a 404 not found from your latest URL and this from the m2web page:

Please send this report to VMTH:Computer Services, immediately.
M2Web Error (2nd level) --> 150375378,init+3^htCGI1,%GTM-E-DBFILOPERR, Error doing database I/O to region /home/vista/2.01/g/mumps.dat,%SYSTEM-E-ENO5, Input/output error

Steve,
If you add M2Web to your VistA installation, you will have many additional options for
viewing the database and database definitions - in your web browser. I uploaded some
screenshots that illustrate a number of them of them at
http://birch.vmth.ucdavis.edu:8080/m2web/doc/m2web-snapshots/


Of particular interest, at least to me ;), is the javascript object representation of the
database definitions and data that can be used by Mozilla (and other web browsers) to
provide very quick and highly interactive client-side manipulation and presentation of
data formats and queries and...


I will be adding descriptions for the various screenshots, as soon as I can get to it.
Meanwhile, I will be glad to answer questions via email. Incidently, that would help me to
understand what features need the most explanation.

Ah! There is a "file of files." That's what I was looking for.

Thanks David!

Anybody know where this is discussed in the documentation?

I also note that I can get the fields for a file in this way:

FM-->Print File Entries
Output From What File: PATIENT//
SORT BY: NAME// ??

       Choose from:

       .01             NAME
       .02             SEX
       .03             DATE OF BIRTH
       .033    AGE
       ...

Two questions:

1. What is the best way to print a listing of files in the Vista
database, including number of records in each, and sorted in
descending
order by # of records?  Such as:

File Number  File Name       # Records
------------------     ---------------   --------------
...
xxx                     Patient          10000
...
01                       New Person 1002
...


Something like this?
SORT BY: NAME// -ENTRIES
START WITH ENTRIES: FIRST//
  WITHIN ENTRIES, SORT BY:
FIRST PRINT ATTRIBUTE: NUMBER
THEN PRINT ATTRIBUTE: NAME;C15
THEN PRINT ATTRIBUTE: ENTRIES
THEN PRINT ATTRIBUTE:
Heading (S/C): FILE LIST//
STORE PRINT LOGIC IN TEMPLATE:
DEVICE:   GENERIC TELNET TERMINAL    Right Margin: 80//

...EXCUSE ME, I'M WORKING AS FAST AS I CAN...

I'd also like to be able to do a simple list of fields within a file (not an inquiry).

2. Is #1 something I should be able to find in the Vista documentation
(for FileMan?), and where should I look?


Thanks in advance!
Steve Wagner

I'm afraid I started in FileMan long enough ago that a version 15
programming guide was all that I had to work with (kudos to anyone who
knows
how much that dates me)
I assume it is in the documentation, and as I recall, classes taught by
Greg Kreis, Dee Knapp and other trainers cover Files, Data
Dictionaries,
and these kind of concepts based of File #1 (the File of Files)
