In viewing older applications does not reflect the current status of the
database product.
I have an application written in Universe that has SQL table level security
as you would find in an Oracle database, it uses transaction control and
rollback recovery as you would find in an Oracle
I always tell everyone that you can do it in PICK with half
the budget and a 1/3 the staff of any given project in Oracle.
That is the plus. There is a lot of flexibility in the data structure.
I agree with the security side. In RDBMS models, in general,
you can (must) embed constraints and
Does anyone know of a tool, or have a decent routine that shows (on universe 10.1, aix
5.2) whether a file is a 32-bit or 64-bit file?

The point of the SUV analogy was that many purchases such as Oracle and
other
software and hardware are made according to the Law of the Sheep: everyone
else is doing it so it must be the right way to go.
Before I proceed, let me state that I am not chiming in one way or the other

Great idea, thanks LeRoy!

Dianne,
While there is no option to make COMPLETE the default option for CATALOG,
you could add a paragraph to the VOC to do it for you. Assuming you will
only use it in PICK flavor, something like this might help you:

Here is a quick and dirty program that should at least give you an idea of
one way to do it in BASIC.
Dict = ''
File = ''
Stats = ''
Get(Arg.,1) File Then
If UpCase(File) = 'DICT' Then
Dict = UpCase(File)
Get(Arg.) File Else
Crt 'DICT requires a file name'
Why so complex? The STATUS statement returns, in field 31 iirc, an indicator as to
whether it's a 32-bit or 64-bit file.
Open filename To filevarable Then
Status filestuff From filevariable Then
structure = filestuff31
Print (if structure = 5 then 64-bit else 32-bit)
End
End

If IBM really wants to target Microsoft, why don't they start telling the

features and stability that rival that of competitors like Great Plains,
EQU V.SEC.SYNONYM TO COURSE.SECTIONS.REC.TABLEI.COURSE.SECTIONS,15
PRINT.VAR = V.SEC.SYNONYM
verus
PRINT.VAR = COURSE.SECTIONS.REC.TABLEI.COURSE.SECTIONS,15
I'm not sure but I think, in this case, elimating the EQUATE would be
less keystrokes.

Directories are neither 32 bit nor 64 bit, distributed files do not contain
data and are always 32-bit with old-style headers, and I like to see errors

The Equate statement makes the code more readable to other programmers.
Assigning FAMILY.NAME to a print statement is more meaningful than REC3.
By putting the EQUATE in an Include file, it is possible that you can change
the field location ie FAMILY.NAME to rec4 and only have to change it once,
We had the experience in SE Asia of a chairman wanting to buy an IBM

It was the in thing.

Also, how many times to you read about a PICK DB having virus related
security issues?
Lol - that is not because its dificult to crack security on a mv dbms, but
is more due to the fact that no 18 year old script kiddie know there is a mv
dbms to crack :-)

ABSOLUTELY!
That is why I said up front, that the comment was not about Oracle/PICK/U2.
It was a general comment.
It has more to do with what is out in the field and generally being used.

I think we all know that it is unlikely for this facility/these facilities to simply
appear within U2 - certainly within the core product, because it would break to
many existing applications, and require to people to make changes to (or even CREATE!)
dictionaries, code etc.
I agree
