I am not crazy about IF (condition) ELSE logic but the compiler supports it. The versions of Information I was on did not support THEN on the reads until the 90s.

What absolute and utter rubbish! You never had to write IF (test) ELSE ... in Pick. READ did have a THEN clause as far back as I can remember (mid-80s) - only LOCKED came later. You just don't use it that often because you usually only want to do something if your READ fails. Typically READ rec FROM FILE,Id ELSE rec = IF is different. I at least expect that after a test I'll do something if the condition is true. The ELSE clause is optional. I wasn't even aware you could leave the THEN clause out until I encountered some code that did that. That is IMHO one of the worst coding sins and I always change it to IF NOT(test) THEN if I find it anywhere. I just have been bitten too many times with this nonsense code. Aren't I lucky that I don't have to maintain your code? :-P You wouldn't say ' if you brush your teeth else you get decay' in a conversation, so why would you want to do it in your code? But hey, why make life easy for the next guy if with a little bit of effort you can make it really difficult? If it was hard to write it should be hard to read, right?

If there are five authors (for five platforms) and they each write 20% of the book and that book has the potential of selling 5 times more (for five platforms instead of one), essentially, you are producing a book for 1/5 of the cost. I know we can really work these numbers so in the end it will cost nothing to write [like the days we work in a year]. I know it's still a tough sell, but, maybe even include some ad-supported areas within the book (as long as it doesn't compromise objectivity concerning the platforms).

Hi
I use mixed case using the same capitalization as for Delphi and VB (rather
than camelCase for C# and Java).
OpenSeq
NumberOfFields = DCount(SomeVariable, @FM)
However I use upper case to distinguish things that are 'special' e.g.
equate literals, file and select variables, common variables and compiler
directives. That way they stand out.
I also use upper case for STOP and the main RETURN from an external
subroutine, which helps to distinguish it from the Return from a local
GoSub.
I don't worry about searching since the editors I use are capable of
searching case-independently, and you can always write an IDescriptor to do
an UPCASE(@RECORD) if you want to search in a source file. In fact,
generally I find doing a SELECT with a LIKE clause on that is faster than
using the SEARCH command.
There should be no need to do anything special to format your comments since
any editor worth using will distinguish these (as a bare minimum). I have a
simple 'autodoc' markup in the comments that makes it easy to generate
technical docs.
So, putting it all together:
PROGRAM ShowStuff
*-
* @@Name: ShowStuff
* @@Project : Demo
* (other autodoc header info here)
*-
* @@Info{
*Shows some stuff.
*bAnd some other comments in here with HTML markups/b
* }
*-
* (other autodoc comments here: modifications, keywords, todo etc.
*-
* version stamp goes in here - assigned to a variable so it compiles into
* the object and I can then rip it from the string table.
VERDATA = Version=001002003;
VERDATA:= VerDate=12345;
VERDATA:= VerDesc=Short Description here;
(etc)
*-
$INCLUDE BOOK_TITLES.h
Open BOOK_TITLES To TITLES Else
Crt Cannot open the TITLES File
RETURN
End
Execute SSELECT BOOK_TITLES, SELECT. SLIST
Fin = @False
Loop
ReadNext TitleId From SLIST Else
Fin = @True
End

I find it much more legible, since I spent at least half of my life in
client languages. But I understand the point of view of those raised on
upper case only who don't use modern (grin) languages, and may initially
find it confusing. It's just a question of what you're used to.
Incidentally, this has evolved over the years. I started off upper case (no
other choice back then), went to lower case in the 'C/UNIX' age, and then
camelCase before settling on this style. When I go back to older code I can
see that this one works best.
But the main thing is to be consistent with your style and use a good
editor.

Re: [U2] I Descriptor for long filename in type 1 file
The suggestion about including the OCONV in the i-descriptor should do it for you. It has to do with how the system looks at the data in input or output format. The D2 conversion is not part of the ouput but moving the OCONV up should change the data to match the with clause.

[U2] Select Field Comparisons
I ran across a situation that I know I've seen before but wasn't sure how to resolve it. The data field has internal date as the data. The dictionary is defined with a conversion of DQ to display the quarter. That works just fine for lists. When I tried SELECT BILLS WITH QUARTER = 1 it would not select the records that were just listed. To get around this we created and I-descriptor with an OCONV and same conversion, DQ, and no conversion definition. That work fine.

Subject: [U2] SQL a possibility?
I'm trying to save the first field of a .csv file to a select list, Yes, I
can
write a program,
but I also wanted to try to do it on the fly.
Using UV10.0.2 , unix on Information format
The source data looks like:
'#12345566#','first','last',.
'#12344555#','first','last',.
Basically, field one has the item ID of another file.
The source file gets read into a tempory file input file
I created an I-desc of the following:
SWITCHIT
0001: I
0002: CONVERT(REUSE(@AM),REUSE(@VM),@RECORD) ;
FIELDS(@1,REUSE(,),REUSE(1))
;
CONVERT(REUSE('# '),REUSE(''),@2)
0003:
0004: DATA
0005: 20L
0006: M
The above will convert the whole record into one mutlivalue attribute,
then strip off the first field delimited by the ,
then strip out the # ,' and spaces
LIST FILENAME ITEMNAME SWITCHIT ID-SUPP will list to the screen exactly
what
I want
and so does
SELECT SWITCHIT FROM FILENAME WHERE @ID = 'ITEMNAME';
NowHow can I put that data into a saved-list? (Using either TCL or
SQL?)
for that matter, how do you save a list using SQL on Universe? I tried
creating a view, but was told I
had to create a schema in order to create tables...that's no fun...
I could open a como file, list the output with no headings close the como
file,
edit it clean, the form-list the como file (work around 1)

RE: [U2] [UV] Checking file mode for type 19 item
writeseq supports an ON ERROR clause and you can check STATUS() AFTER THAT Subject: [U2] [UV] Checking file mode for type 19 item Date: Thu, 3 Jul 2008 13:07:53 +1000 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org I need to check the write status of an item in a type 19 file. Normally, it will bomb out on write while trying to update a read-only item. (on error and else clauses don't seem to do much for this in a write statement). I have a 'before update' trigger checks if an item in a type 19 file is writable. The only mechanism I can see is to use an 'openseq' on the item and find 'status5' for it. This works but it still seems a clumsy long way around. Does anyone know a more efficient way to do this?

If the code in either of those routines needs to be changed, you'll need to also recompile all the programs using the include. But as subroutines all you need to do is recompile the subroutine in question. And what's worse: Every time you add a variable in the include you must search all routines that use the include to check that they do not use that name .. unless you have a rigid naming convention to prevent such name reuse.

It's up to us to draw with them. Mark Johnson That is only true if you utilize the base BASIC code statements. Each flavor has its own special functions and user exits, but they both contain the same core BASIC statements. If you emphasize using the flavor's tweaked language to write applications, then a standard MV BASIC style does not really exist in any of your code. You have a flavor-specific MV BASIC style. IF/THEN blocks and FOR/NEXT loops are BASIC standards. IFS() is not in the D3 manual, so the proceeding argument can only be valid on flavors that have IFS(). I have no clue what it does, so I can't comment further on that. I think that someone should set up a statement cross-reference guide that shows descriptions and flavor compatibility. If there already is one, I'd love to see it. Example: UV UD D3 QMReality DCOUNT Count data segments in an MV array [X] [x] [x] [x] [x] It would also be nice to see parameter syntax for each flavor, if there are differences.

I'm wondering if there is any efficiency advantage by telling it to use a primary sort on the ID or just to sort on the MV attribute? My (probably flawed) reasoning is that if the primary sort is on the id then the sort process wouldn't have to build up one big explode - as it would have a primary sort by record, it then only needs to explode each record at a time. Eg. SSELECT BIGFILE BY @ID BY.EXP MV.ATTRIBUTE Or SSELECT BIGFILE BY.EXP MV.ATTRIBUTE Anyone know the answer to that one?

[U2] Upper Case and Editors
The comment regarding upper case coding for upper case text messaging raised my dander. If you were typing a report and a word processor upper case looks ridiculous. The same as displaying information on a user interface screen, mixed case has a more professional appearance. Code that is well formatted reads much clearer to me in upper case, with nice periods between words. It also make using system search utilities easier. The comment about using ED was out of left field. Which editor is included with every system and does not require any special setup to run? I feel my productivity is not diminished a bit by using ED. I am slowed by trying to analyze code that has random mixed case use in the commands. i.e. Locate LoCate LocaTe loCate or Readu readu. Just because the compiler recognizes it does not mean it is a good idea. I'll use my antiquated line editor until they tear my cold dead fingers from the keyboard.

Re: [U2] [BB] Internal functions in Basic

source code.

Subject: Re: [U2] [BB] Internal functions in Basic
Date: Mon, 18 Dec 2006 11:00:30 -0800 (PST)
One way to accomplish this would be to allow multiple subroutine blocks
within a single source file. The code (in one file) of:
SUBROUTINE ONE( ARG1, ARG2)
MYVAR = 1
CALL TWO(ARG2, ARG1) ;* reverse them
END
SUBROUTINE TWO(ARG1, ARG2)
PRINT MYVAR ; * UNDEFINED!! out of scope
PRINT ARG1, ARG2
END
would print the two arguments in reverse order since the CALL TWO(ARG2,
ARG1) reverses them from TWO'S point of view.
In the above case, the catalogged subroutine would have two arguments and
would start executing the first subroutine, returning at the first END
statement.
If code or a PROGRAM statement preceded the first SUBROUTINE or FUNCTION,
then the variables in that block would scope to the rest of the file unless
declared in a subroutine argument.
PROGRAM X ;* optional line
COMMON /MYCOM/ AA,BB,CC
FOO = 9
CALL ONE( 1 , 2 )
CALL TWO(1)
END
SUBROUTINE ONE( ARG1, FOO)
PRINT ARG1, FOO ;* prints 1 2 in this example
PRINT AA,BB,CC ;* defined from above common
DELTA = AA-BB ;* invisible to other blocks
END
SUBROUTINE TWO( ARG1)
PRINT ARG1, FOO ;* prints 1 9 in this example
END
Note that if SUBROUTINE X was substituted for PROGRAM X, no variables or
common from X would be within the scope of ONE or TWO.
And yes, each internal subroutine or function should get a new set of stack
variables each time it is invoked, even if it is a recursive invocation, so
the following example would print out the factorial of 20 (I hope!).
PROGRAM FACT20
DEFFUN FACT(N) CALLING FACT
PRINT FACT( 20)
END
FUNCTION FACT( N)
IF (N 1 ) THEN
RETURN N * FACT(N-1)
END ELSE
RETURN N
END
END

Perhaps these could be defined after the final END statement in the
program.

Ron - this is a mechanism where you can split the data over several individual part files, but still be able to see it all together as one logical file. This means that you can open the file as a whole, and read records or select the whole file or you could open an individual part file and read records or select the records in the individual part file. This is mainly used for two purposes. One is where you have a file size limit and you need to be able to store more data than the file can possibly hold. For example, a 32 bit Universe file can only have 2gb of data. If you need to have more than that amount you have two choices - convert the file to 64 bit if the underlying OS will allow it, or to distribute the data across part files. The second purpose is to split the data into more manageable and logical chunks. For example, if you have invoice transactions that you keep for many years, it may make sense to have a part file for each year of data. So you would have a distributed file called INVOICES, with part file of INVOICES.06, INVOICES.05, INVOICES.04 etc. You would usually also define a bucket file called, for example, INVOICES.REST, which would hold all the INVOICES records that you didnt want to store in an individual part file. That way, you could store most of you very old invoices in INVOICES,REST, and the more recent ones in the part file for the year in which they were raised. The advantage of doing this is that you if you want to run reports for this year, you only need to select INVOICES.06, and that will only contain the invoices raised for this year, so it can run much quicker. If you want to do reports for last year, then you can run the same programs or RECALL statements against INVOICES.05, and that will then give you data for last year. If you want to run reports for everything, then you run the same programs or RECALL statements against INVOICES, and you will get the data for everything. The limitation is that the information which decides which part file a record is to be stored in must be part of the key. In the INVOICES example, the year must be part of the key to the INVOICES file. There are downsides to using distributed files. One is that when you open the whole file, Universe actually opens all the part files as well. The number of files that can be opened at any one time by a process is usually a hard OS limit. Universe overcomes this OS limit by using the concept of a rotating file pool, where once the OS limit is reached, the file that has not been used the longest is closed, and the slot used for the new file to be opened. Normally, this is not much of a performance hit, but if you are calling subroutines frequently that open files, and especially open distributed files with lots of part files, then it can become an issue. For more information on how to create and manage distribute files do a HELP on DEFINE.DF and LIST.DF.

If this is not what you mean then your question has me totally confused.

Re: [U2] OT: Unix Version of PR1MOS EDitor
Does anyone know of any software for Unix which is compatible with the old PR1MOS Editor? I had to blow the dust off my old copy of the Hacker's Guide to the Prime to remind myself about the Primos ED command. Dare I ask why you would want to find a Unix equivalent?

RE: [U2] Good Programming Practice Question.........
I understand the concept of tagging changed lines but this seems to suggest that deletions are commented out instead of removed. After four or five changes you get confused about what is executing and what isn't. I am a strong proponent of removing deleted lines of code. --- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/

Re: [U2] Prime number file modulos
You can shorten your prime search routine's execution by limiting the search for factors to the square root of the number being tested for primality. If a number is composite(not prime) it has to have a factor smaller than its square root. --- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/
RE: [U2] Formatting Data
The use of the callable routine !FOLD was suggested a day or two ago. It is very affective in that it naturally breaks on space.

[U2] Catastrophe in realloc
Running on AIX 4.3.3, Universe 9.6 I have a job processing a sequential file in HOLD. It processes about a third of the file then halts with the error Catastrophe in realloc: invalid storage prointer IOT/Abort trap. I have looked through the probrams and files and nothing seems to be wrong. I was able to successfully process the file on our test system which runs on a separate server, same AIX, same Universe revisions. Does anyone recognize this error and can point me in a direction?
