Re: [U2] Unidata 7.1.16 Multiple Active Select Lists
My documentation says PASSLIST and RTNLIST only work on select list 0 and ONLY work if the executed command is that which *creates* select list 0. If the select list already exists *before* it reaches the execute, it will give you an error. The execute with the passlist is the one which much create the list. -Original Message- From: Kevin King To: U2 Users List Sent: Mon, Sep 24, 2012 11:20 am Subject: Re: [U2] Unidata 7.1.16 Multiple Active Select Lists What I don't understand is why I can't seem to get PASSLIST and RTNLIST to work in BASIC.

You'll have to check, but IME with UV the index is actually stored in sorted order. I think you can force numerics to sort correctly. As for your original problem, the select list consuming list 0, what happens (assuming you want to do it to list 8) if you do SELECT FROM 8 TO 8 Does it blow up complaining there's nothing in 8 to start with, or does it work the way you want?

Re: [U2] Unidata 7.1.16 Multiple Active Select Lists
I think you would be more surprised that an executed select wasn't picking up an active select list :). I do recall getting burned by UniData's select handling while we were transitioning from D3. I had a Y2K program that would go though files and change a 2 digit year that was part of the key. D3 would drop the select where UniData wouldn't and it totally hammered a major file. eg in UniData you can go SELECT CUSTOMERS WITH...; DATE; LIST CUSTOMERS and only see the select list; however, D3 would drop the select list with the date command and the list would list all. In this case, you just don't "want" it to use the select list as you're trying to do something different. Usually, we have a little more control over where things start out - but it looks like you're trying to create a dictionary item that you intend to use all over the place. UniData has the REQUIRE.SELECT option for lists to make sure it only runs when there is an active select, but I can't think of anything that would ignore an active list. Compounding the question is how does the active select list work while in the middle of the actual select. Like I said, it would be nice that list 0 would contain everything up to that point, so you could save it, process something else, "re-activate" it and continue selecting. However, it's not hard to imagine someone optimizing the select process might not including this permutation in testing scenarios. The unibasic select works well for ignoring the active list, but necessitates processing the entire file. I think in most cases, we've already had a "dense index" in place that we can read instead of doing the "nested" select. hth Colin -Original Message----- From: Kevin King Sent: September 24, 2012 3:03 PM To: U2 Users List Subject: Re: [U2] Unidata 7.1.16 Multiple Active Select Lists Thanks for the information.

Re: [U2] Unidata 7.1.16 Multiple Active Select Lists
Kevin; The "problem" is that the initial list is list 0 so that your execute select uses it - regardless of pass/rtnlist. Like David said you will have to save the list items before your select and then restore it to list 0 when done. Another alternative is to use the unibasic select - which loses any index gains and you have to process the file yourself. I don't use rtn/passlist so I'm not sure why they aren't compiling - but if you're using the "TO 2" syntax you shouldn't need them and I don't think they'll help you anyway, but I would be surprised that the compiler would catch the double usage. I've used the initial techniques with existing select lists. How list 0 behaves while it's still building is an interesting test. I would like it to work - but am not really surprised that it doesn't. hth Colin -Original Message- From: Kevin King Sent: September 24, 2012 12:20 PM To: U2 Users List Subject: Re: [U2] Unidata 7.1.16 Multiple Active Select Lists What I don't understand is why I can't seem to get PASSLIST and RTNLIST to work in BASIC.

Kevin, Got it, and you don't want to or can't READNEXT thru and create your own list and save it to file of our choice then read it back in and use.

Re: [U2] Unidata 7.1.16 Multiple Active Select Lists
What we do in situations like this is set up a subroutine that retrieves the list of record keys in "B", given the value of the index I want to retrieve. This can then be called from an I-type in "A", or from another subroutine. I do the sort the hard way (in basic) so that the keys are in the correct order, usually using LOCATE with "AL" or "AR" and INSERT. -Original Message- From: u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org [mailto:u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org] On Behalf Of Kevin King Sent: Monday, September 24, 2012 1:55 PM To: U2 Users List Subject: Re: [U2] Unidata 7.1.16 Multiple Active Select Lists Good thought on the index, but alas, no index on the file.

Re: [U2] Unidata 7.1.16 Multiple Active Select Lists
Seems like the simple solution would be in your subroutine, before you
need to generate your select, test the SYSTEM variable to see if an
active select is already in use. If it is, do a READLIST into a
variable. Then at the end of your subroutine, if anything is in your
variable, do a UNIBASIC SELECT to reestablish the active select list.
You might just always check for an active list at the beginning of your
subroutine as a normal setup function then as a exit routine, restore
the active list.
Just a thought.

Well, that success was short lived. While the READLIST and FORMLIST
allow my SUBR(..) field to not consume the active select list zero,
these two commands produce different results:
LIST ORDER.LINE WITH fieldName fieldName
...this will show the lines that have this field set, and will show the
field properly. However, this command returns no items:
SELECT ORDER.LINE WITH fieldName
Basically my program is doing this:
READLIST ACTIVE.LIST FROM 0 ELSE NULL

CMD = "select ... TO 2"
EXECUTE CMD CAPTURING OUTPUT
*
EOF = @FALSE
LOOP
READNEXT ID FROM 2 ELSE EOF = @TRUE
UNTIL EOF DO
..
REPEAT
*
CLEARSELECT 2
*
FORMLIST ACTIVE.LIST TO 0
All other input/ideas appreciated.

Re: [U2] Unidata 7.1.16 Multiple Active Select Lists
Good thought on the index, but alas, no index on the file. We could probably add one, but then how do we control the order of the records being retrieved from the list? (The order is important to our process.)

Re: [U2] Unidata 7.1.16 Multiple Active Select Lists
One thing to look out for is when using FORMLIST make sure your variable
ACTIVE.LIST has stuff in it. Otherwise you get a null active list.

Re: [U2] Unidata 7.1.16 Multiple Active Select Lists
Aren't these nested selects kind of slow?
If the field in file b is indexed, I would use the SETINDEX and READFWD
statements in place of the SELECT statement. You are using Unidata, so unless
you need to make this work for Universe as well that's what I would do.

Subject: [U2] Unidata 7.1.16 Multiple Active Select Lists
How does one manage multiple active select lists in Unidata? I could
have sworn I've done this before, but for some reason it's not working
at all as I recall.
I have this SUBR(..) type field in file A that selects records from file
B to calculate an aggregate. This works fine when listing file A and
showing the field. However, if there's an active select list when file
A is listed with this field, the select statement in my SUBR(..) is
consuming the active select list 0 and returning incorrect results.
My subroutine is $BASICTYPE "U" and is selecting records using the lower
case select and selecting to active list #3. It then processes from
list
#3 and returns its result. I've tried using the RTNLIST and PASSLIST
options on the EXECUTE statements and I get a "Misuse of Reserved Word
'PASSLIST'" or "Misuse of Reserved Word 'RTNLIST'". I've tried
UDTEXECUTE with no compilation errors but also no improvement on the
problem. I've even tried MDPERFORM but I get the misuse errors with the
RTNLIST and PASSLIST options. Oddly enough, removing $BASICTYPE "U" I
don't get an error on MDPERFORM but I can't READNEXT from a numbered
select without the $BASICTYPE "U".
How should I structure this SUBR(..) so that it does not consume list 0
when selecting to list 3?

And I think it's more on the 'READNEXT' and the 'FROM' that I've seen the

Any place in BASIC (not the ECL-level stuff) seems to not like the 'actual
numeric' -- but a variable works fine.
YMMV -- just something I've seen.

How should I structure this SUBR(..) so that it does not consume list 0 when

Can you use SELECT yourfile WITH whatever TO 8 {specific list number} in the
master process, and let your SUBR virtual field default to list 0 {zero}?
The other option could be to do a READLIST within the SUBR function and
reset the list when RETURNing, but this could be onerous in terms of
processing speed.

Subject: [U2] Unidata 7.1.16 Multiple Active Select Lists
How does one manage multiple active select lists in Unidata? I could have
sworn I've done this before, but for some reason it's not working at all as
I recall.
I have this SUBR(..) type field in file A that selects records from file B
to calculate an aggregate. This works fine when listing file A and showing
the field. However, if there's an active select list when file A is listed
with this field, the select statement in my SUBR(..) is consuming the active
select list 0 and returning incorrect results.
My subroutine is $BASICTYPE "U" and is selecting records using the lower
case select and selecting to active list #3. It then processes from list
#3 and returns its result. I've tried using the RTNLIST and PASSLIST
options on the EXECUTE statements and I get a "Misuse of Reserved Word
'PASSLIST'" or "Misuse of Reserved Word 'RTNLIST'". I've tried UDTEXECUTE
with no compilation errors but also no improvement on the problem. I've
even tried MDPERFORM but I get the misuse errors with the RTNLIST and
PASSLIST options. Oddly enough, removing $BASICTYPE "U" I don't get an
error on MDPERFORM but I can't READNEXT from a numbered select without the
$BASICTYPE "U".
How should I structure this SUBR(..) so that it does not consume list 0 when
selecting to list 3?

Re: [U2] Unidata 7.1.16 Multiple Active Select Lists
By definition you can only have one active list at a time in UniData. But you can use list 1-9 in your subroutine (or at TCL) by using the TO and FROM keywords.
