RE: [U2] Status of a WRITE to a Type 1 File
Hi Dave, You could put a group of special characters at the end of each job, and if you read a record and that group of characters are not there, then you'll know that it hasn't finished yet and that you need to read the record again after a little SLEEP. During processing, you could also scan the data just to insure that you're special characters really don't appear anywhere in the record just as an insurance policy. When you do read the record and the special characters are there at the end of the record, then you could just suppress them on output and it'll be done, badda bing, badda boom!!! And I thought 'end of record' markers were a thing of the past, or just for language designers!!! hth, Allen -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Dave Taylor Sent: Monday, October 31, 2005 11:53 To: u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org Subject: [U2] Status of a WRITE to a Type 1 File We're using Universe 10.0.10.0 on Win 2000 Server.

RE: [U2] Status of a WRITE to a Type 1 File {Unclassified}
Dave, It can take 'numbers of seconds' to write? Phew, they must be b--i--g records! Could you consider changing from WRITE to WRITESEQF? And maybe from Type 1 to Type 19? If the 'subsequent action' is inside the UniVerse environment, I would expect that the program would access the copy buffered in memory anyway, regardless of whether it had yet been flushed to disk. If the 'subsequent action' is outside the UniVerse environment, then I would hope that a WRITESEQF would not return control to the next statement in the Basic program until the write was complete. If Windows lies to UV about that, and gets confused when another process tries to access the not-quite-written data, hmm ... You could try writing two files, one a flag, the other the data: - Write flag, status 'in process' - Write data - Write flag, status 'done' And the consumer process waits on the flag 'done' before trying to read the data. That might serialise the I/O for you.

RE: [U2] Status of a WRITE to a Type 1 File
Do you have something external waiting on this record to appear? If so, you might consider writing out the record out under a temporary name and then renaming it to a name that your watcher is looking for. We do this all the time with drop file interfaces; write the record with a .tmp extension and then change it to an .out extension (via !ren) once the record has been completely written. Your watcher would then only pick up the files with an .out extension. Possible? -Kevin [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.PrecisOnline.com -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dave Taylor Sent: Monday, October 31, 2005 12:53 PM To: u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org Subject: [U2] Status of a WRITE to a Type 1 File We're using Universe 10.0.10.0 on Win 2000 Server.

RE: [U2] Status of a WRITE to a Type 1 File
Write a tag record and watch for the tag instead of the actual data record. When the tag appears, you're sure the related data record is there. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dave Taylor Sent: Monday, October 31, 2005 11:53 AM To: u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org Subject: [U2] Status of a WRITE to a Type 1 File We're using Universe 10.0.10.0 on Win 2000 Server.
