Re: [U2] Comparing Two Dynamic Arrays
Does one have an extra but empty attribute? For testing only, try comparing array1 = array1 and see what you get.

Re: [U2] Comparing Two Dyamic Arrays
When you compare numeric strings you can get odd results if you do not first *normalize* them into pure numbers, instead of strings. You can force this by doing something like A = A + 0, but for an array you would have to act upon each multivalue singly. This is what the COMPARE function does itself in right justification mode, but a normal equate will *not* do the same way -Original Message- From: Bill Brutzman To: U2 Users List Sent: Fri, Jul 20, 2012 5:37 pm Subject: Re: [U2] Comparing Two Dyamic Arrays Will; .

Re: [U2] Comparing Two Dynamic Arrays
Have you tried examining the strings? The equal sign will work if the 2 strings are the same. But they can be equal as dynamic arrays while not equal as strings. For example, on universe: 0001 A="1":@AM:"2" 0002 B="1":@AM:" 2 " 0003 CRT A=B 0004 CRT EQS(A,B) prints: 0 1^1 The 2 dynamic arrays aren't equal as strings, but they are as dynamic arrays, because universe ignores leading/trailing spaces in numeric conversion. Similarly: 0001 A="1":@AM:"2":@VM 0002 B="1":@AM:"2" 0003 CRT A=B 0004 CRT EQS(A,B) print: 0 1^1]1 they are different strings, but eqs() treats empty and missing values as the same.

[U2] If dynamic files NEVER have to be resized ...
