Re: [U2] How to Clear Empty VM marks in Field
HMMI seem to remember that if I convert a character to space with CONVERT, then did a TRIM on it (and it was just spaces), would leave one space. BUT...testing does not produce that, and does indeed remove all. Not sure where that came from? Maybe one of the flavors in the past did it and I never felt the need to reconfirm. So cool, but I'll probably still always check for to see if it's just a space after a trim, just because that's the way I've always done it :) just in case. > -Original Message- > From: u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org [mailto:u2-users- > boun...@listserver.u2ug.org] On Behalf Of Rex Gozar > Sent: Monday, January 31, 2011 2:19 PM > To: U2 Users List > Subject: Re: [U2] How to Clear Empty VM marks in Field > > George said: > >If the field were just a VM, trim would have left it there. > > Actually, if record is just a VM, TRIM(record,@VM) will trim out > the single value-mark, resulting in "" (empty field).

Re: [U2] How to Clear Empty VM marks in Field
One solution is MAXV = DCOUNT(FXI,@VM) FOR I = MAXV TO 1 STEP -1 IF FXI<1,I> = '' THEN DEL FXI<1,I> NEXT I This handles embedded nulls as well as leading and trailing nulls. This would also give you a value if there are associated fields that would need to be removed.

The only problem will be if there are multivalued data elements by eliminating the VM's, it will combine into one big element.

Re: [U2] How to Clear Empty VM marks in Field
Garry, Since you described a simple situation, I'll provide a simple solution. FXI = 1ýý DCOUNT(TRIM(FXI,@VM),@VM) should return 1.

If you don't have to worry about associated fields and you're trying to clear null attributes or you want a count of the non-null attributes then trim is probably the easiest way (plus there are options to only clear leading,trailing,or all): FXI = TRIM(FXI,@VM) Hth Colin Alfke Calgary, Canada -Original Message- From: Allen Egerton On 1/28/2011 7:29 PM, Garry Smith wrote: > FXI = 1ýý > > DCount(FXI,VM) returns 3 > Is there function to clear the blank value marks so that FXI = 1 and then DCOUNT would return 1 If your field is associated with any other fields, simply removing all value marks preceding null fields will potentially de-synchronize (is there such a word?) the relationships.

That is, you can remove any trailing VMs, but not any embedded ones. If I were doing this, I'd start with the base rule that we're working from the end of the string and rolling backwards until we hit a character that isn't a VM, and keeping everything up to there. So, using your example of "FXI = 1ýý"; here's a code sample: 0001 fxi = "a": @vm: @vm 0002 crt "fxi = ": fxi 0003 crt "dcount = ": dcount(fxi, @VM) 0004 len.fxi = len(fxi) 0005 if (len.fxi) then 0006 for i.char = len.fxi to 1 step -1 0007 if (fxi[i.char, 1] ne @vm) then exit 0008 next i.char 0009 * 0010 if (i.char lt len.fxi) then 0011 fxi = fxi[1, i.char] 0012 end 0013 end 0014 crt "fxi = ": fxi 0015 crt "dcount = ": dcount(fxi, @VM) 0016 crt "done" 0017 stop 0018end And here's the output from it: >RUN PGMS TT fxi = aýý dcount = 3 fxi = a dcount = 1 done ___ U2-Users mailing list U2-Users@listserver.u2ug.org http://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users
Re: [U2] How to Clear Empty VM marks in Field
I suspect that there is no canned function. I little homemade sub could look like SUBROUTINE SUB.XM.Counter(FXI, XM.Count) XM.Count = 0 Total.String.Length = len(FXI) For Posn = 1 to Total.String.Length Next = Posn + 1 This.Char = FXI[Posn, 1] Next.Char = FXI[Next, 1] Begin case Case This.Char = VM ; begin case Case This.Char = Next.Char ; null Case 1 ; XM.Count += 1 Endcase End case Next Posn return END I hope that I made no speling mistakes this time... --Bill -Original Message- From: u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org [mailto:u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org] On Behalf Of Garry Smith Sent: Friday, January 28, 2011 7:30 PM To: U2 Users List Subject: [U2] How to Clear Empty VM marks in Field FXI = 1ýý DCount(FXI,VM) returns 3 Is there function to clear the blank value marks so that FXI = 1 and then DCOUNT would return 1 TIA Garry L.

Re: [U2] How to Clear Empty VM marks in Field
We've long had a "strip nulls" subroutine we use to do this sort of thing. You'd have to write a program to select the records, read, strip and write out the data.
