Re: [U2] OPENSEQ and Abnormal termination of UV
Reading my own response just made me realize what's going on. I think Jerry's response was right. I remember many years ago (I won't say how many) when we were on much slower hardware, explaining to a coworker that it was better to use dimensioned arrays when possible because they were faster to populate than dynamic arrays. The reason they're faster is because the necessary space for them is already reserved in memory. A dynamic array has to go out and find add'l memory each time you add to it. Looks like putting a sequential file in a dimensioned array makes it go out and reserve a block of memory the size of the entire file.

Only the UV or UD developers could say for sure, but I'd venture to guess that multi-gigabyte sequential files weren't envisioned when the dimensioned array code was written.

Re: [U2] OPENSEQ and Abnormal termination of UV
Looks like putting a sequential file in a dimensioned array makes it go out and reserve a block of memory the size of the entire file. Doubtful.. I'm guessing under the hood the array will resolve to a series of pointers somewhere down the track, but those pointers will need to be cast to different types depending on what is being stored in the array - a variable, a file pointer, a sequential file pointer etc. So something in that cast will be wrong - it might for example be that whatever structure controls a sequential file originally contained a 32 bit address and now doesn't but the cast is still expecting that, or that it gets copied with an alignment change or something similar. In other words, typical C bug from a pretty unlikely occurrence. Brian ___ U2-Users mailing list U2-Users@listserver.u2ug.org http://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users

Re: [U2] Code 128 Soft Font
Marc, If you are using a small Laserjet or a 9050, why spend extra money on hardware or software products which might tie you to a specific setup, when you can use a Basic subroutine to print your Code 128 barcode (or many other codes) anywhere on the page you want it? I've done the grunt work and written the program, which uses standard commands built into the printer. We use this program in production every day - it works. This assumes you are printing to a piece of printable stock you can feed through your printer. I will get the latest version of the program tomorrow and post it. Don't worry - I wrote it, I own it and I can share it with anyone I want. Sorry, Tony, I have the greatest respect you you, but printing barcode is just too easy to pay a lot for it. Now, if you want to print labels, just buy a cheap barcode label printer like the ones UPS customers use (Zebra, Datamax, etc.), and send the very simple codes to it. Used or reconditioned ones are very inexpensive, and new ones aren't prohibitively expensive.

Re: [U2] Code 128 Soft Font
From: Charlie Noah Sorry, Tony, I have the greatest respect you you, but printing barcode is just too easy to pay a lot for it. Not a problem, Charlie, and thanks. You're right that for any one job it often doesn't make sense to purchase a tool. When I make posts like this, my long-term/consistent message which is almost always lost in individual threads is that the tools I promote can be used for Many purposes. It's not just about code 128, it's about a dozen barcode formats that can be changed in a single line of code. It's not about barcodes, it's images, fonts, boxes, and everything else in code that a 14 year old can read. It's not just about printing, it's about email, fax, and report distribution.

You can get started in Print Wizard for $99 or $300, depending on configuration. How much is your time worth? (And not all printers have barcode capabilities built in.) (And thanks again, Tony.)
