RE: [U2] Unidata TCL - beginner question
Bruce, There has been several responses, but I don't think you have an answer yet, do you? I haven't followed the closely & don't have the original problem, and it is unclear to me whether you have multi- or single-valued date/part data. At any rate, you'll need to make 2 passes on the file, the first to sort, and the 2nd to grab only the oldest (or was it youngest?) date for each part. If mv, you're going to have to get the BP-EXP keyword in there. If UV, I know how I would do it, but I don't think my method would work in UD, iirc. On UD can you use SQL SELECT to accomplish the task? For maintainability's sake, and given how difficult it has been for this list to supply an answer (which may indicate that some arbitrary future maintenance programmer may also have difficulty understanding your eventual answer), you might want to do the selection in a basic program, where it would be fairly straightforward. cds > -Original Message- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Bruce Ordway > Sent: Friday, October 07, 2005 1:11 PM > To: 'u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org' > Subject: RE: [U2] Unidata TCL - beginner question > > >SORT filename BY Part BY Date @ID BREAK.ON Part Date DET.SUP< > BTW, I thought this worked to begin with. > Then, I started noticing it wasn't really. > I keep getting dates in the middle of the range for some parts. > Just so happens I'm working on a huge file, 886817 records. > I wonder if Unidata SORT's break down if a file is too big or > sized incorrectly? > --- > u2-users mailing list > u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org > To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/ --- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/

See UDT.OPTIONS 43. The udto.pdf explains what this is doing. The file isn't too large - UniData just doesn't like displaying valid values in a detail suppress report that you don't break-on. hth Colin Alfke Calgary Canada From: Bruce Ordway >SORT filename BY Part BY Date @ID BREAK.ON Part Date DET.SUP< BTW, I thought this worked to begin with.

RE: [U2] Unidata TCL - beginner question
Never seen a single burp in sorting ever. If you just eliminate the DET.SUP you'll see the detail, and can then compare to the DET.SUP errors to confirm if the sorting is wrong, or if maybe it just doesn't work. You could always fall back and punt by completing the messing sections of the program I sent yesterday. I'm sure that would work. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Bruce Ordway Sent: Friday, October 07, 2005 13:11 To: 'u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org' Subject: RE: [U2] Unidata TCL - beginner question >SORT filename BY Part BY Date @ID BREAK.ON Part Date DET.SUP< BTW, I thought this worked to begin with.

RE: [U2] Unidata TCL - beginner question - correction
It looks like date and part are multi-valued. You can create a dictionary that takes the MAX on the date field. Sort my descending and use SAMPLE 1 as others have indicated. This should give you just the ID of 1249. You can also defined this new data reference on-the-fly in the retrieve statement so you would not need the dictionary. This should be documented in the UV Reference manual. One other thought on this, you can use SQL statements in UV. This works fairly well if you are using standard SQL.

RE: [U2] Unidata TCL - beginner question - correction
I think you're looking at a program now.
PERFORM 'SELECT FILENAME BY PART BY.DSND DATE'
FIRST = 1
LOOP WHILE READNEXT ID DO
GOSUB READ.RECORD
IF ID = PREVIOUS.ID THEN CONTINUE
GOSUB OUTPUT.THIS.OLDEST.RECORD
PREVIOUS.ID = ID
REPEAT
STOP
READ.RECORD:
READ REC FROM FILENAME, ID ELSE {whatever you want for an error}
IF FIRST THEN
FIRST = ""
PREVIOUS.ID = ID
GOSUB OUTPUT.THIS.OLDEST.RECORD
END
RETURN
OUTPUT.THIS.OLDEST.RECORD
**parse the date and output**
RETURN
Something like the above NOT-DEBUGGED psudo program should work nicely.

***
I only want to see:
1249 1589 10/2/05
1249 1590 2/23/05
Can this be done with TCL?
I'm asking because I can do this in an Access query with MAX.
Hoping TCL can do the same as it would save me a lot of trouble.
If not TCL, then how about in a program?

RE: [U2] Unidata TCL - beginner question
I thought of that too - tried it here - doesn't work. UDT.Options are tricky though - there's probably something in there that's causing it to not work. An example of a funky UD thing that doesn't have anything to do with the current question: I had an array of amounts like this: 143]285]1093]6354 And I was doing a locate by "AR" to insert the amounts. My next amount was a negative number and it put it right in the middle of the array - I was like "WHAT?". One of the UDT.Options specifies whether locate will sort in ASCII or numeric order - I couldn't believe it - Isnt that what the "BY" clause in the LOCATE is for (how you want to sort)? UV doesn't work this way. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of George Gallen Sent: Thursday, October 06, 2005 2:10 PM To: u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org Subject: RE: [U2] Unidata TCL - beginner question What about using BY.DSND Date SAMPLE 1 That should give you the "last" one Assuming Unidata has SAMPLE George -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Bruce Ordway Sent: Thursday, October 06, 2005 1:46 PM To: 'u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org' Subject: [U2] Unidata TCL - beginner question Hi, I ran into yet another beginners TCL puzzle today.
