RE: [U2] DATA Statements

There's a UDT.OPTION which determines how DATA statements are processed. You'll have to look up which it is. I think the mnemonic is something like PRIMEDATA - Prime and PICK behaved differently on this so UniData has an option to control it. Incidentally, there is no such thing as an 'MCD

Ok so we're just talking cross purposes. Is this what you're saying: mvBase is a wrapper for a VM. That wrapper can only only run under Windows. The VM it wraps, however, is hardware independent and could be ported if anyone had the code and the desire to produce a new wrapper e.g. for Linux. I

2004-11-12 Thread Brian Leach
Troy, IF you want more rigour in the selection, you can switch to an SQL selection, e.g. SELECT @ID TO SLIST 0 FROM MYFILE WHERE MYDATE = '31 FEB 04'; This will fail date recognition, swap to string recognition and then throw out the statement because of the data type mismatch. Brian.
