STATUS is something pretty crummy inherited from Prime via Universe I think. However, if it is documented that it should work, then it is clearly a bug and you should report it to TEMENOS. There is nothing we can do here to fix it J Do you get any of the information back at all?
Also, why is it that you think you need to know about the part numbers? Perhaps you are asking the wrong question ;-) Jim From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Road Jogger Sent: Thursday, March 18, 2010 8:04 AM To: [email protected] Subject: jBASE Hi, We are currently on jBASE 5.0 minor 21 on AIX 5.3.... T24 release is R8.... In jBASE documentation for the STATUS command if used on a file.variable, return the PART NUMBERS of part files belonging to a distributed file in a multivalue list.... (TEXT from jBASE documentation) 1 Current position in the file Offset in bytes from beginning of file 2 End of file reached 1 if EOF, 0 if not. 3 Error accessing file 1 if error, 0 if not. 4 Number of bytes available to read 5 File mode Permissions (in octal) 6 File size in bytes. 7 Number of hard links 0 if no links. Where applicable else 0 8 O/S User ID. ID based on the user name and domain of the user a jBASE pseudo user. 9 O/S Group ID. STATUS statement 10 I-node number; Unique ID of file on file system 11 Device on which i-node resides Number of device. The value is an internally calculated value on Windows NT. 12 Device for special character or block Number of device. 13 Time of last access in internal format 14 Date of last access in internal format. 15 Time of last modification in internal format 16 Date of last modification in internal format. 17 Time and date of last status change in internal format. 18 Date of last status change in internal format. 19 Number of bytes left in output queue (applicable to terminals only) 20 { } 21 jBASE File types j3, j4, jPLUS 22 jBASE File types j3, j4, jPLUS 23 jBASE File types j3, j4, jPLUS 24 Part numbers of part files belonging to a distributed file multivalued list Now, in reality, this doesnt happen.... I have a distributed file, and when I use the STATUS command to get the PART NUMBERS, it return ZERO.... see below.... LIST-DISTRIB F.CUST.ECB Partitioning Algorithm is USER Subroutine 'CUST.PARTNO' Part file 'F.CUST.P1.ECB', part number 1 Part file 'F.CUST.P2.ECB', part number 2 Part file 'F.CUST.P3.ECB', part number 3 Part file 'F.CUST.P4.ECB', part number 4 Part file 'F.CUST.P5.ECB', part number 5 Part file 'F.CUST.P6.ECB', part number 6 Part file 'F.CUST.P7.ECB', part number 7 Part file 'F.CUST.P8.ECB', part number 8 Part file 'F.CUST.P9.ECB', part number 9 & when I use the STATUS command on the above file, like the code is .... OPEN "F.CUST.ECB" TO F.CUST.ECB THEN YFILE.STAT = '' STATUS YFILE.STAT FROM F.CUST.ECB THEN PRINT YFILE.STAT<24> END END The output returned is ZERO..... Definitely this file is distributed.... and I need to know the PART FILE NUMBERS if the file is distributed???
