Pardon being a D3 question but someone may have run into this before. My new client has D3 on W2K. I edited MD BOB and made 001=PQN, 002=HTIME and 003=P, saved it and then type BOB at TCL and get [3] VERB?. I type LIST CUSTOMER and get output but when I type LIST MD = CUSTOMER I get nothing.

Since we're on MVBase I have a bone to Pick (no pun intended). Is there any upgrade to their command stacker. It's pathetic, especially since it retains every executable statement, not just the ones I type. Thus, it very easily exceeds the display (20) and I spend more time finding the previous

In all of my travels of code before me at my clients, I have never seen a convoluted SELECT statement broken up into 2 or more pieces for effeciency reasons. I stumbled on the idea around 9 years ago trying to squeeze a few more drops of speed from a 386-based system running InfoQuest. I saw the

To further increase your speed with the file copy method use the Overwrite option (O when writing the data back to the cleared desired file from the temp file. This prevents the COPY command from seeing if the record exists and offering up the message. Technically if any target file is cleared,

I agree. Be careful to not trip over a record written in later frames. Although WRITE after DELETE prevents the problem. I have an observed question. Is there any MV flavor that requires the null expression for DICT with opening the DATA level of a file. I stopped using that unnecessary code over
