RE: [U2] [UV] Forcing Subroutine to be Re-read
>Does anyone know of a way that I can force the background job to reread the subroutine? Hello, Scott. There is no method to do this without making changes to the subroutine caller. If you use the CALL form of: Foo = "Foo" . . Call @Foo(stuff) Reassigning Foo = "Foo" abandons a previously cached image of Foo and loads the latest version of Foo. One can do this reassignment preceding every call (careful, this could negatively impact performance) or periodically test a lock or read a specific field from a file record to control the reassignment.

Re: [U2] [UV] Forcing Subroutine to be Re-read
Are You calling them indirectly ? I.e. like : subr = "nameOfSubroutine" call @subr( args ) This technique will 'force' the subs 'in memory' whereas call nameOfSubroutine(args) should start a search for the subroutine. How this search is done and especially if it will force a fresh copy I don't know but it could be worth to try. -- mats.

RE: [U2] [UV] Forcing Subroutine to be Re-read
I don't know of any way to force another process to refresh it's subroutine cache (maybe someone else has the answer to that) but it's a good idea sometimes for a background process to periodically restart itself, i.e, for a program named WATCHER running as a phantom: 0001 MAX.TIME=3600 0002 LAST.TIME=TIME() 0003 LOOP 0004 GOSUB DO.SOMETHING.USEFULL: 0005 UNTIL TIME()-LAST.TIME > MAX.TIME DO REPEAT 0006 CHAIN "WATCHER" WATCHER does it's stuff for an hour, and then restarts itself via chain. This clears the subroutine cache as well as allowing it to reload a new version of itself. You could also have the program check a flag, or the timestamp on a program, and restart itself (or shut itself down cleanly) based on other events. > -Original Message- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Tuesday, May 02, 2006 2:03 PM > To: u2-Users > Subject: [U2] [UV] Forcing Subroutine to be Re-read > > > Hi all, > > UV9.6.1.14 > HPUX 11 > > I have a background processor that calls a number of > subroutines.

I think NEWPCODE only works for the session that is executing NEWPCODE, so it would have to be inside of the calling program. You'd have to have it poll a flag, and if the flag changed, then NEWPCODE and de-set the flag. hth, Allen -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Trevor Fulton Sent: Tuesday, May 02, 2006 11:42 To: u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org Subject: RE: [U2] [UV] Forcing Subroutine to be Re-read NEWPCODE on Unidata does this, I do not know if the same command is available in Universe.
