How does it work with parameter driven code.
One of my clients has procs like this:
HRUN BP SOP1500
STON
HORDER
HCUSTOMER
HPRODUCT
HVENDOR
P
whereby the program (BP SOP1500) has the corresponding INPUT statements for
the file names and opens them as F1, F2, F3 which is a real bear when

The designers of this mess were (are) called Gull from Long Island, NY. It
appears to be one of the many early attempts at a 4GL that are now Roadkill.
I have another client running similar code for a Credit Collections
application called BestCollect.
I could write a book on the false starts of
While your examples are not false, they're hardly true either. In my many
years of MV programming, I've never seen such alternate files or other
methods. The closest I've seen is code within the program to decide which
files to use.
I think you are implying contemporary intelligence against an

Likewise for the business definitions of months and years. I've got clients
that have 13 EVEN 4 week months and one has 12 'months' offset by no-one
knows why days and an off year. For example, today, July 11, 2007 is period
06/08, meaning period 06 in year '08'. I ain't making this stuff up.

So we're guessing.
I gotta believe that there's something to it instead of simply counting
days, dividing by 365.25, carrying the 3, square root of October etc.
How does 1/1/68 mean 'divide by 365.25'? Also, divide 'what' by 365.25 ?
Considering how incredibly often the function is used and how
My suggestion would for Krish to get a very good understanding of what
normal outputs are available in Retrieve and to understand the way our
post-dictionary items work. AFAIK, all queries function on a primary data
file and everything is relative to that file. Therefore, the answer is NO,

None of this explains how 12345 converts to 05/01/2001 (example) (or
vice-versa) as blindingly fast as it always has. We all can write all the
