Bill Different options in ascending order of usefulness: 1. In ED, use block commands to start and finish and then replace the start of each line, e.g. 10 (goes to line 10) (starts block) 20 (goes to line 20) (ends block) c//*/B (comments block) 2. In Z (free from my site), use the cursor

If it is a session hang you're possibly looking at locking issues so check the lock table to see what is waiting and also check for any group locks that persist. If it is UniVerse, It's also a good idea to check the errlog file in the uv account: if that does not exist, create it as a zero length

Re: [U2] converting D3 to UniData

2012-11-23 Thread Brian Leach
As someone who uses both platforms I'd have to ask why anyone would want to do such a thing. I'd certainly question why, if you want to move a D3 application to U2, you would choose UniData over UniVerse? That's not a general uv is better than/worse than udt comment so don't make this a flame

Re: [U2] converting D3 to UniData

2012-11-22 Thread Brian Leach
As others have said, it largely depends on how vanilla your d3 application is. Things like the %-operations in FlashBasic will need special treatment as will any user exits, there are equivalents to %open() in the socket api and the sequential file operations but they will need converting over.
