Hi, Creating a type-19 file (or type-1) has advantages with large records IF you are not doing many reads and writes to the file. If you are updating a type of log record, look into using OPENSEQ, READSEQ, WRITESEQ, instead of READs and WRITEs. With the SEQ functions, you are appending

Re: [U2] EXECUTE 'CLEARSELECT'

You can just use the CLEARSELECT function in your basic code on UV, instead of using execute or perform. Tom -Original Message- From: u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org [mailto:u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org] On Behalf Of Dan McGrath Sent: Monday, October 12, 2009 5:56 PM To:

Re: [U2] [UV][UX] @USERNO @LOGNAME/PID ;...

RE: [U2] Help with encryption

Hi Laure, The U2 encryption is symmetrical. I have asked about one-way, but I have been informed that this is not available. We use gpg to provide a level of one-way encryption. It's not the best, but it is the only option we could find. Tom

RE: [U2] Inter-Process Control...

Thank you for all the responses. I should have stated that we are a UniVerse shop. I did play with the lock/unlock but the only process that can modify the lock is the one that set it. Also, I could not get the process to wait on the lock. From the playing I did, lock/unlock seems very

RE: [U2][UD] Index for @ID (IBM documentation)
