Re: {Blocked Content} RE: [U2] @VARIABLES
Perhaps you missed my post about Microdata Includes.
While INCLUDES themselves typically don't contain any logic or branching,
they technically could be on the same line. All of those variable
assignments (whether replacements at compile time or alias's) could be on
one single line of code.
EQUATE A TO 1, B TO 2, C TO 3, D TO 4
or
EQUATE A TO 1; EQUATE B TO 2; EQUATE C TO 3; EQUATE D TO 4
are the equivilent to
EQUATE A TO 1
EQUATE B TO 2
EQUATE C TO 3
EQUATE D TO 4
etc.
Since the INCLUDE line occupies a single line of source code, all of the
lines within that include inherit that errmsg line for runtime errors,
regardless if the contents of the Include is itself one line or many lines.
The problem with Microdata Includes is that if you have this Include
EDIT INCLUDES ABC
001 EQUATE A TO 1
002 EQUATE B TO 2
003 EQUATE C TO 3
004 EQUATE D TO 4
in this program:
001 PRINT INCLUDE LINE TEST
002 INCLUDE INCLUDES ABC
003 ZERO=0
004 PRINT D/ZERO
005 FOR I=1 TO 10
006 PRINT I
007 NEXT I
008 STOP
009 END
you will get the 'divide by zero' error message on line 7. When you look at
line 7 you will scratch your hear as NEXT I looks okay.
The problem with Microdata Includes is that the line 002 INCLUDE consumes
runtime lines 2,3,4 5. Thus the ZERO=0 is on runtime line 6 and the divide
by zero is on runtime line 8.
By changing line 002 to GOSUB GET.INCLUDES and putting the INCLUDES at the
end as shown:
001 OPEN VOC TO F.VOC ELSE STOP
002 GOSUB GET.INCLUDES
003 ZERO=0
004 PRINT D/ZERO
005 FOR I=1 TO 10
006 PRINT I
007 NEXT I
008 STOP
009 GET.INCLUDES:*
010 INCLUDE INCLUDES ABC
011 RETURN
012 END
causes all of the lines we care about in the debugger to be correct.
I use INCLUDES for many purposes. Housekeeping variable assignments, some
file field assignments, some common subroutines that are more effecient than
being a call etc.
You bring up an interesting point. If you have an Include that is compiler
equates, does that Include need to be processed before the mainline code at
the top, at the very end of the program (before the logical END) or could it
be after the logical END and just part of the source code?
Thanks

[U2] New to UV/PICK, programming a banner
Hello, I am new to PICK/UniVerse and was wondering if someone could help me with some BASIC code or a PROC instructions to get me going on a banner program that will display before, or after, the Logon Please: prompt (but after the initial telnet server login). Preferrably I'd like a unix style /etc/motd type thing (we're on Windows of course so that is not available, UV 10.2.) that I could update periodically with wED and update for our users to see. Can anyone help with this? Thanks, Gabe --- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/
Re: [U2] New to UV/PICK, programming a banner
Simply:- ED BP MOTD I Enter OPEN 'file' TO file THEN READ MOTD FROM file,'MOTD' THEN CNT=DCOUNT(MOTD,@FM) FOR X=1 TO CNT; CRT MOTDX; EXT X CRT; CRT 'Read and Press Enter To Continue'; INPUT WHATEVER: STOP END ELSE CRT; CRT 'No Message Of The Day'; CRT; STOP END END ELSE CRT; CRT 'No MOTD File'; CRT; STOP END Enter FI file is whatever file you wish to use even TEMP or CTL (general control file)? Compile and include line RUN BP MOTD in your LOGIN paragraph To create the message:- ED file MOTD (or wED or whatever editor) I Type whatever message you want to display here Enter FI To delete the message ED file MOTD FD Like I said it is simple. Assumes the message is less than a screen full and each line is less than screen width. No flames please - I said it is simple.
