RE: [U2] Calling a subroutine on an MV field from an I-Descriptor
Try using OCONVS (with an S) instead of OCONV. The problem has nothing to do with I-descriptors. OCONV treats the 1st argument as a string. OCONVS will process each delimited substring individually. Notice the FD (hex value mark) in the middle of the 1st output line below, but the }, which is an unconverted value mark, in 2nd line: CT CDS.BP BILLH BILLH 0001 CRT OCONV( '790*4/1*77':@VM:'790*4/1*78', 'MX' ) 0002 CRT OCONVS( '790*4/1*77':@VM:'790*4/1*78', 'MX' ) RUN CDS.BP BILLH 3739302A342F312A3737FD3739302A342F312A3738 3739302A342F312A3737}3739302A342F312A3738 -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Bill_H Sent: Monday, December 12, 2005 7:00 PM To: u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org Subject: [U2] Calling a subroutine on an MV field from an I-Descriptor I'm trying to call a subroutine for each value of an I-Descriptor, but without much luck.

RE: [U2] Calling a subroutine on an MV field from an I-Descriptor
From: Stevenson, Charles Try using OCONVS (with an S) instead of OCONV. After seeing Ray W's response, I think I misread your purpose. What I said was true, but irrelevant. The formatting got screwed up on the email. Be gracious let me blame it on that. I'll second Ray's answer instead. Here's a good way to program the loop, which preserves the delimiter association, even if they are a mix of value-, subvalue-, attribute-, item-, /or text-marks, assuming you don't know how this routine might get used 5 years from now.

Re: [U2] records with unprintable characters
Converting the control characters like that can be dangerous. I run a program to create a list of those with control characters and then use the editor. The control characters are generally part of control strings, ^027W or ^027K. That sort of thing. Leaving an extraneous W or K or whatever can be just as bad to your data integrity as the ESC, STX, etal.

the app screens the input

Re: [U2] records with unprintable characters
One thing to be careful of that we ran into is control characters in the Key (@ID). If your application wrote out a record with say an ESC in the key, and it also wrote that key as a field value in another record in a different file, fixing just the data portion will put your records out of sync. If you fix the @ID, and that record is an Indexed record, there could be some issues in the Index as well to be aware of. Gary P.

[U2] Determine performance of secondary index
Hi all, Can the FILE.USAGE command be used with secondary indexes? I'm trying to determine how much total disk i/o is reduced when a secondary index is added. I can't find any tools to show activity on the index file like FILE.USAGE does for the primary file. I am running UV10.0.16 on HPUX 11i system. Thanks in advance...

Re: [U2] Secondary Index Problem
Oh! Oh! I know this one. The 13 records in your index indicate the number of records that had something in attribute 67 when the index was originally built. Because it is an I descriptor and not an actual attribute nothing changed when the record was written with the change to attribute 67 therefore no updates to the index. What would be better (and would work) would be to build an index on attribute 67 then select for 67 not equal to null. Gordon J.

The majority of the garbage characters I get are from files from clients in other countries where they have entered an upper ASCII code from an accented letter.

RE: [U2] Secondary Index Problem
Building an Index while the file is in use can cause a similar problem. Usually the index is either disabled or Out of step (missing updates). Resolution: Don't create or build an index while a file could be open. A useful tool (Unix) is: fuser -u unix_file_name This command lists the Unix PIDs of all processes that have a file open - check ALL data portions (dynamic files) and indexes as well. Watch this though - if MFILES is relatively low some processes may have swapped the file handle in the rotating file pool and fuser won't show these up. Get everyone off the file.. Useful references: Unix: fuser -u Windows: Handle (http://www.sysinternals.com) UniVerse: SET.INDEX Otherwise - accessing a file from another UniVerse instance via a NFS or share link with no UV-NET concurrency control can give some entertaining (but otherwise useless) hours of fun (file buffers flushing etc).

RE: [U2] Calling a subroutine on an MV field from an I-Descriptor
Thanks Rex. I didn't quite give the entire BASIC program. It is a particular business rule that, in a D3 system, was shared by a variety of BASIC programs and dictionaries. Unlike U2, D3 uses one passed variable in the subroutine argument list where the contents of the dictionary stack is automatically assigned this single argument variable. The BASIC code usually takes that value then does whatever then reassigns the variable a new value to be returned. When processing returns to the dictionary the assigned variable is automatically placed back into the dictionary stack. I'm not sure I like one method over the other. I just need to make additional changes to business rule subroutines so they can be called from both dictionaries and BASIC code.
