Re: [U2] Sequential Files Question
Al; I use the following code: OPENSEQ 'OUTPUT.FILE', 'APCHECKS' TO OUTFILE THEN CRT 'APCHECKS ALREADY EXISTS' STOP END * code to build each line goes here MORE.DATA = 1 LOOP WHILE MORE.DATA DO LINE = 'data' 'L#9':MORE.DATA 'L#25':'still more data' 'L#20' WRITESEQ LINE APPEND ON OUTFILE ELSE CRT 'NOT AT END OF APCHECKS' MORE.DATA += 1 IF MORE.DATA >= 25 THEN MORE.DATA = 0 REPEAT CLOSESEQ OUTFILE Where OUTPUT.FILE is a VOC item (which means I can change the location of the file without recompiling/changing code): DIR C:\OUTPUT D_VOC Using the "THEN" construct means the program will stop if that item already exists so you won't overwrite any existing data. Technically, the file won't actually exist until you do the WRITESEQ, but it won't matter that it won't already exist, it will create it. You can't really deal with OUTFILE as a variable - it's really a (type of) file handle. The WRITESEQ will fly through the file - you don't have to worry about creating a large array - it will just keep writing until it hits the limit (not sure if it's the OS limit or UniData's 2GB limit).

Re: [U2] Sequential Files Question
Interesting that the code was sent through malformed like that, but that's a different issue... Just before the offending stop, add CRT STATUS() This will return the reason it is dropping into the ON ERROR section. Value - Description --- 0 - The record does not exist. 1 - The file you specify is not a sequential-access file. 2 - The file does not exist. 3 - The READONLY clause was included in the command statement and the record does not exist. 4 - An unknown error occurred (such as having too many files open or permission problems). -Original Message- From: u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org [mailto:u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org] On Behalf Of Al DeWitt Sent: Thursday, September 09, 2010 12:15 PM To: U2 Users List Subject: Re: [U2] Sequential Files Question I GET THE FOLLOWING MESSAGE [FATAL ERROR: - Cannot open file C:\OUTPUT\APCHECKS1002] and I'm sent to the colon prompt.

Unidata 7.1.20 I've never dealt with sequential files, but I have a need to output records to a text file. Each record will be a series of fixed-length fields. Each file will need to be created at the time of opening. The destination will be a Windows folder on one of our servers. I will be using OPENSEQ to open the file.

[U2] GETENV in phantom / Redback processes
Hi, This morning, we've had two different problems caused by what appears to be the same issue. Both issues relate to programs running via Redback calls. The issue is that certain environment variables (in these particular cases, USERNAME and COMPUTERNAME) do not seem to be picked up in the RB process. If I run "!SET" at TCL, they're both there. Both issues are on Windows 2008, one on UD 7.2.2, the other on 7.2.5. Has anybody else encountered this before? Any known issues with such things?
