It was required on the early Microdata Reality, also, at least prior
to R80. I think R80 dropped that requirement, but that was too many
years ago to remember.

Secondly, for those of us who remember MCD and have a style that likes
things
similar, I often find myself doing:
FileErr = ''
OPEN 'DICT', 'MYFILE' TO MYFILE.DV ELSE FileErr := ' Dict MYFILE'
OPEN 'DICT', 'YOURFILE' TO YOURFILE.DV ELSE FileErr
current UV, UD, MVbase, MCD, Mentor, GA, D3 clients and I
know that they don't need it.
Thanks
Mark Johnson.

Don't forget that OPEN DICT MYFILE to MYFILE.DV also works accross all
platforms mentioned earlier. It's putting the DICT and MYFILE in the same
quotes.

Mark:
I always thought a principle of languages was to separate words. In this
sentence,
... programs ago that PRINT X/100R2,#10 ...
you've separated each word, within the sentence, with a space, but not the
BASIC
code. Why
There was this:
Speaking of mis-used commands and side-stepping some of the given code
craziness...
It is better practice to atomize the code into discrete elements such
as...
Var1.F = oconv(Var1, 'MD0')
Var2.F = oconv(Var2, 'MD2')
Var3.F = oconv(Var3, 'MD4')
the FMT/OCONV crowd but I will defend against those who stand
on their soapbox and offend simpler coding.
My 3 cents

Thanks David. I feel less alone.
