but Haydon is a real person, I saw him at U2U in Liverpool last year.
I actually thought about asking him if he let everybody know then too,
but I never talked to him.
Ha! If I remember correctly, little testimonials from people claiming to
have seen him was all part of the Cpt. Tuttle ruse,

File MESSAGES Type= 2 Modulo= 1 Sep= 1
Coming across one of these in a system I'm working on always steams me. It
has to be one of silliest and most easily avoidable time-bombs people can
set in a system. The difference between a modulo 11 and a modulo 1 file
on performance is
UUCP is definitely old-fashioned.
The best approach (in my opinion) is to NFS mount the file systems from
the production server onto the test server, then use some utility to copy
the raw files over. We use cpio.
The syntax is something like this (run on the test server):
mount -r
Two thoughts on this issue.:
1. Someone suggested using distributed files. Distributed files don't
play nice with BSCAN. So if your application uses BSCAN you'll need to
work around this. I'm not sure if this has been fixed in UV yet.
2. That script to find the big files was over the top.
Just to be clear on this. Scrum and XP aren't particularly related. Scrum
is a project management methodology and doesn't speak to how the
programming is done. XP directly relates to how the development is done.
Three of the 12 XP practices have overlap with Scrum (Planning Workshops,

My experience is exactly the opposite. Well written, simple code that
approaches its function in straight-forward manner is worth 1000 lbs of
specs and documentation. I never, ever approach a maintenance project

I can't remember how it works in the Unidata world, but on our Universe
systems we create a bunch of VOC items called F1, F2, F3, etc. Each one

Back in the early 90's, I had a stint working with Unidata, and I became
addicted to the AE editor. It's virtually identical to ED but has a few
really nice enhancements. Things like the EV command and the global

We've got a UV client/server application with a thick VB client. The

on all the time that logs the calls back to the server and the arguments
passed back and forth. The server side stuff is all phantomed off, so the

Most of my goofing around with web page grabs and the like was done
before the CallHTTP stuff was out, or when only the really early versions

You'll have to change the modulo on a system that will allow the larger
modulo first. What I would do would be to create a new file on the
original system with a smaller modulo and a bigger separation and then
copy all of the records into it. Then I'd ftp *that* file over to the PE

Marco,
I see what you're saying, so I went and looked at some code fresh code I've
just written. I see that at its deepest, it goes 5 levels deep, which is
pretty close to what you've described. I also noticed something else:
In the cases where you could use CONTINUE, all of the ENDs are
Curious, I would have done:
LOOP WHILE READNEXT ID
READ RECORD FROM FILE,ID THEN
IF ((RECORDFLD.1 EQ COND1) AND (RECORDFLD.2 EQ COND2) AND
(RECORDFLD.3 EQ COND3)) THEN
RECORDFLD.4 = 'PROCESSED'
END
END

I'm very old school and learned my structured programming in PASCAL. The
cardinal rule is that you enter every block of code from the top, and you
exit it from the bottom.
No one ever got hurt doing this.
I can only remember one case in recent history where I actually used
mulitple exit points.
Keith,
For some reason, they implemented Triggers only with SQL commands. I
imagine that lots of people that might ordinarly think about using them
have been put off by this.
Anyways, the documentation is actually fairly reasonable with regards to
this feature. It's in the SQL manual, however.

What replaces WHATEVER, so that I can see the value SAM? I cannot find

the documentation or remember for that matter how to extract a single

Thanks in advance,

It is better practice to atomize the code into discrete elements such

We have a monster file that hit the 2GB mark way back when, so we divided

Sorry, but I have to disagree. Whether or not using the Named COMMON is
basically a good practice is beside the point. There is something wrong
somewhere when a subroutine takes progressively longer to execute each time
it is called, even though there is nothing accumulating anywhere. The

Here's the situation. We noticed this first with a subroutine intended to

all over the place because it looks into a number of places and comes up
