RE: [U2] Changed BASIC varname1,-1
Easier to read, but ABSOLUTLEY the slowest method, ok for small arrays that get assembled or disassembled once during execution, but if you are in a loop or if your arrays can be big use -1 and REMOVE.

Again, I can't speak for Pick behaviour, but in INFORMATION and its derivatives -1 puts the new data in a new (sub)field at the end.

Is was not a bug, it was a feature! We use it to add a subfield if there is data, but not to add blank subfields. Great! New behaviour is not as if $OPTIONS EXTRA.DELIM is set (thanks Ray), as it only adds one extra delim. Still not suitable when keeping several items in synch. Someone once told me not to use 1,-1 just because of this problem but to use a counter var. K += 1 MV 1,K = datawhat I have not tested this, but looks like you have the scenario to validate this. Garry Smith Dir. Info Systems Charles McMurray Company V# 559-292-5782 F# 559-346-6169 Wellfwiw...I consider this correct. If I have multiple variable dataset that I'm creating I want them to stay in synch even if one of them is blank. i.e. ITEM.SHIPPED1,-1 = REC1 QTY.SHIPPED1,-1 = REC2 HANDLING.CODE1,-1 = REC3 Lets say that there was no special handling code on the third iteration. Now my forth iteration DOES have a special handling code, but now it would appear as if it belonged to the third, not the forth item. I would have to ITEM.SHIPPED1,-1 = REC1 QTY.SHIPPED1,-1 = REC2 IF REC3 = THEN HANDLING.CODE1,-1 := REC3 END ELSE HANDLING.CODE1,-1 = REC3 END Which adds a lot of bulk to the code, especially if I have a lot of variables to build. Oh Well, you know that they say...One man's bug is another man's feature! (Or woman!) Allen E. Elwood www.tortillafc.com Quality Code Since 1978 Goo'day, Kate, Just quickly... IIRC, somebody mentioned a UV OPTION to give you either which way... Last week or so. Sorry, but check the archives And some people say various LOCATEs are a problem but I find this inserting a null to be a bigger bugger Regards, Bruce Nichol Talon Computer Services ALBURYNSW 2640 Australia http://www.taloncs.com.au Tel: +61 (0)411149636 Fax: +61 (0)260232119 If it ain't broke, fix it till it is! --- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/
