I agree with both setting a min modulus AND doing a CLEARFILE if the file is

Just remember that if an empty file has a big modulus, it can still take some

You can set a min modulo on a dynamic file when you build it (or rebuild it).
In theory, this will reduce the splitting until you hit that min modulo. This
does of course assume your files hash fairly evenly, etc, etc.
However, if you purge the file, it will still take up all that space based
This sounds very interesting and a worthy concept. But as others have stated,
there are already packages of one kind or another in place. Even if yours is
better, it will be a huge hurtle to get them to convert and getting them to do

I have just encountered an inconsistency between the native UniData select and
the PICK flavored select.
From a PICK flavored account, it I use the lower case sselect to force
native UniData syntax, I get:
sselect ITMMST WITH F2 LIKE ...J1A... (6,213 keys - wrong)
If I immediately follow this

Our UniData database is on a Unix box. I have mapped the key dirs to my PC.
This allows me to use any PC editor I wish. I usually use SlickEdit because

If you might also want to play with putting the WHILE... line just before the
REPEAT. This would be dependent upon your actual program (might need to
consider if the loop starts with a failed condition). Your mileage may vary.

I agree completely with David. I make it a habit to have one way in and one
way out for my loops and subroutines. It makes it much easier to enhance/debug
in the future (which is what most of us spend most of our time doing). I will
not say I NEVER break this rule, but it is rare.

In all your examples, you support my position. 1 way in, 1 way out. Though to
your point, you have clean, concise clean code.

We are running UniData on HP-UX and I capture Unix info regularly.
Rather than using a COMO, just do it with the EXECUTE command like so:
STMT = !ls -lia (or whatever you need to capture)
EXECUTE STMT CAPTURING UNIX.TXT
Then loop through UNIX.TXT as needed. If the results can be big, use
201 - 300 of 340 matches
