The problem is that both Dave and I have spooler products that try to intercept the output and direct it to a &HOLD& file. This involves using an interlude to the SP.ASSIGN/SETPTR verb. Many times, this only gets executed once per login. While we both have developed work-arounds to this issu

I didn't realize you were referring to the &HOLD& file. In that case you are correct about the numbers being only 4 digits. However, you can expand the usage by giving the hold entries names as well as numbers by using the BANNER option. Here is from the manual: BANNER [ name ] In mode 3, spec

Dave: I'm guessing the crux of the issue is ensuring completely unique numbers for spooler entries. In UD we use "BANNER UNIQUE" to append the user name to a date/time stamp and add ".txt" to the end (you know how stupid other software can be). We pause for a second to make sure no two entrie

I'm surprised at the attention this thread caused. Could the following have worked on UV or UD. Works everywhere else. SELECT FILE WITH F1 = '["]' where single quotes bound the double quote bounded by square brackets. This has worked since day #1 over 30 years ago. My [1] cent Mark Johnson ---

If you are truly SB (i.e. You have coded all your fields and screens etc. in that environment) then conversion shouldn't be that hard. Fields can be regenerated using SB and so your main issues could be incompatibilities in basic code. Things like using as a variable name something that is OK in
