Allen, This is a fantastic story. I am warning IT folks about just such a scenario ALL THE TIME. I've found that in these SOX audits the IT folk seem to think along two (deadly) lines. First, they tend to be "just tell me what you want / give me a list (e.g. don't make me think)" and secondly "y

RE: [U2] UDT dynamic files

I just went thru an exercise in this. I have to say that in my opinion, if your running current modern hardware (fast machine, fast disks, good amounts of cache), and if your files aren't all gigantic, it doesn't matter that much in 'real' terms. If you are on a slow machine where you're trying t

Re: [U2] UDT dynamic files

Chuck, if you have records that are relatively large compared to the block size on a Unidata dynamic file that is KEYDATA, even though the record size is not the split-level percentage of the block size, it will trigger a split. I found that a single record written to an empty group, where the rec

Re: [U2] UDT dynamic files

If you're adding a lot of records to the archives at once and it was undersized, you're going to pay a hit while the system resizes on the fly. If you're dramatically increasing the record count, it would be better to resize before copying. Just as it's better to turn off indexing when copyi

Maybe I'm thinking of some other MV player, but isn't there a UV-defined function that can be called to see if a subroutine exists so one can check instead of calling and getting a runtime error? I don't see it in the pdfs. Something like: SUBRNAME = something IF !EXISTS( SUBRNAME, number of ar

Chuck, Is the file indexed? I have noticed an improvement in copying speed on an indexed file by not having any indexes created on the target file. I create the index after the copy. It is just a thought. Rich Sammartino At 02:20 PM 3/17/2005 -0500, you wrote: Does anyone know what kind of a

Thanks, Mike. Now I remember why I forgot about it. I'm in Pick-flavor and this thing seems to just check to see if the routine is in uv/catdir. We have pick-style cataloguing. I was thinking !EXIST() would resolve the question following the same rules as CALL does for finding a subroutine: look
