I haven't been following this thread - but, why don't you just LIST into the HOLD file and then get your program to read the results and delete the HOLD record? -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Bill Haskett Sent: Friday, 20 January 2006

RE: [U2] [UD] list output when captured

If you don't want to use the HOLD file (which IMO is the easiest thing to do), how about executing TERM to change the terminal width (and height) to something really large (eg 2000), execute your list statement, and then use TERM to set the width height back to normal. -Original

RE: [U2] [UD] BASIC LOCKs

We use READU locks - they're much more friendly than semaphores as they can be given meaningful names that show up with a LIST.READU. Also they are very quick and easy to test with the RECORDLOCKED() function - eg. IF NOT(RECORDLOCKED(filevar, recordname)) THEN ... AdrianW DISCLAIMER:

RE: [U2] UD: Named common

I'm pretty sure everyone is talking about the named common name not the variable names (i.e. the name between the slashes in COMMON /ABC$123/ LONG.VARIABLE.NAME1, ETC The variables names defined within your common block should be able to be any length you like (perhaps restricted to 32

RE: [U2] RE: [UV] is there an equivalent to the UD ALL UniQuery keyword?

An alternative to using Larry's suggestion of writing a program to create a phrase of all the D types, you can use REVISE filename which will automatically create an @REVISE phrase in the dictionary containing all the D-types. You can then just rename @REVISE to ALL. -Original Message-

RE: [U2] How to Default NO.RETURN.WARN in Universe

We use +$NO.RETURN.WARN (along with a bunch of other options) on the BASIC command line for ALL programs, subroutines and functions (we've actually wrapped BASIC - so no one actually types in the options). DISCLAIMER: Disclaimer. This e-mail is private and confidential. If you are not the

RE: [U2] Good Programming Practice Question.........

We also use xnn.meaningful.name type labels. One advantage is that our editor can recognise a label and putting the cursor on a line that includes a GOSUB and pressing one function key will move the cursor directly to the correct paragraph. One thing I've never agreed with (except in COBOL) is

RE: [U2] Good Programming Practice Question.........

I hope you're joking - talk about making code unreadable, comments that look like code are (IMO) a very BAD idea. The indentation level makes it perfectly clear what goes with what, and if it doesn't then change the structure of the code. IMO IF XOOS.ALL.COURSES='Y' THEN some

Also consider using FMTS on the entire string, eg. STRING = FMTS(STRING,55T) This will perform the 55T formatting on each element of the string (in this case: each sub-value). DISCLAIMER: Disclaimer. This e-mail is private and confidential. If you are not the intended recipient, please

RE: [U2] [UV] SELECT without n records selected...

Very strange that it doesn't work... I wrote a quick paragraph... 1: PA 2: SELECT VOC SAMPLE 5 COUNT.SUP and I receive no message regarding number of records selected. Is it a GET.LIST rather than a SELECT that's producing the message? COUNT.SUP doesn't seem to work with GET.LIST.
