The reason large numbers of people don't attend spectrum, is that 90% of PICK users don't even know they use PICK. I was at the International CEBIT show in Sydney Australia today and I identified at least 3 Pick shops doing thriving business, but they were all sellinng solutions, not PICK. A

I've got an attribute with value marks and sub-value marks. Is there a way that I can do a locate for a value that will give me both the value mark and sub-value make values in universe basic code. LIST1 = A:@SVM:B:@SVM:C:@VM:D:@SVM:E:@SVM:F If I want to find D I would like something to tell

Randy, If you are using UniBasic, there is a UniBasic command call FIND, that will do this job. If I remember correctly, I believe UniVerse has the same command, also. FIND is very similar to LOCATE. Hope this helps! Grant W. Boice, Jr. Systems Administrator Benchmark Electronics, Inc.

Mark, As a software business who has used a 4GL since 1985 to develop our software, I have never seen a 4GL that will generate an entire application. The BOM explosion shopfloor scheduling programs in our mfg. software are written Pick Basic, as are the translation programs in our EDI translator.

Yes, BCI is the tool. If you're on Unix, you also need to have an ODBC manager. Being on 64-bit HP-UX (which makes it hard to find compatible OTS software), we ended up using EasySoft's ODBC-ODBC bridge (they made a custom port to HP-UX for us), which is working great. Best, David Beahm Tom

Pardon being a D3 question but someone may have run into this before. My new client has D3 on W2K. I edited MD BOB and made 001=PQN, 002=HTIME and 003=P, saved it and then type BOB at TCL and get [3] VERB?. I type LIST CUSTOMER and get output but when I type LIST MD = CUSTOMER I get nothing.

AFAIK D3 doesn't like PQN in attribute 1 just PQ will work find (or N for a macro - loose the H prefix P lines) - this will solve your VERB issue. I would expect both MD and M/DICT to simply be null q-pointers and I assume that there was a typo when you said MD pointed to system
