In message [EMAIL PROTECTED], Brutzman, Bill [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes I was right... The BOLD thing @(-81), @(-82) does not work with Dynamic Connect. If it doesn't, then it's probably because either (a) it's not defined for that term-type on the UniVerse system, so the two variables evaluate to , or (b) it's not defined in the Dynamic Connect .wis file, so it doesn't know what to do with them. And if Dynamic Connect doesn't have a bold font, it needs to do something else - I think a lot of people used it to change colour instead, for example. Cheers, Wol -- Anthony W.

Re: {Blocked Content} RE: [U2] @VARIABLES
Perhaps you missed my post about Microdata Includes.
While INCLUDES themselves typically don't contain any logic or branching,
they technically could be on the same line. All of those variable
assignments (whether replacements at compile time or alias's) could be on
one single line of code.
EQUATE A TO 1, B TO 2, C TO 3, D TO 4
or
EQUATE A TO 1; EQUATE B TO 2; EQUATE C TO 3; EQUATE D TO 4
are the equivilent to
EQUATE A TO 1
EQUATE B TO 2
EQUATE C TO 3
EQUATE D TO 4
etc.
Since the INCLUDE line occupies a single line of source code, all of the
lines within that include inherit that errmsg line for runtime errors,
regardless if the contents of the Include is itself one line or many lines.
The problem with Microdata Includes is that if you have this Include
EDIT INCLUDES ABC
001 EQUATE A TO 1
002 EQUATE B TO 2
003 EQUATE C TO 3
004 EQUATE D TO 4
in this program:
001 PRINT INCLUDE LINE TEST
002 INCLUDE INCLUDES ABC
003 ZERO=0
004 PRINT D/ZERO
005 FOR I=1 TO 10
006 PRINT I
007 NEXT I
008 STOP
009 END
you will get the 'divide by zero' error message on line 7. When you look at
line 7 you will scratch your hear as NEXT I looks okay.
The problem with Microdata Includes is that the line 002 INCLUDE consumes
runtime lines 2,3,4 5. Thus the ZERO=0 is on runtime line 6 and the divide
by zero is on runtime line 8.
By changing line 002 to GOSUB GET.INCLUDES and putting the INCLUDES at the
end as shown:
001 OPEN VOC TO F.VOC ELSE STOP
002 GOSUB GET.INCLUDES
003 ZERO=0
004 PRINT D/ZERO
005 FOR I=1 TO 10
006 PRINT I
007 NEXT I
008 STOP
009 GET.INCLUDES:*
010 INCLUDE INCLUDES ABC
011 RETURN
012 END
causes all of the lines we care about in the debugger to be correct.
I use INCLUDES for many purposes. Housekeeping variable assignments, some
file field assignments, some common subroutines that are more effecient than
being a call etc.
You bring up an interesting point. If you have an Include that is compiler
equates, does that Include need to be processed before the mainline code at
the top, at the very end of the program (before the logical END) or could it
be after the logical END and just part of the source code?
Thanks

Re: [U2] @VARIABLES
Bravo. If I were to use Includes for file definitions, I would use that method for consistency. One client of mine uses a quasi-4GL called Primac that apparently pre-dates Includes. I don't know when Includes were added to mv systems overall, but I recall them being added to Microdata around 1984 (although in a sort-of prohibitive way). Primac uses a pre-compiler that processes the source code looking for $CPYLIB INCLUDE.FILE INCLUDE.ITEM and converted the $CPYLIB expression manually as an Include and generated basically the larger source code of which was then compiled. Add a common INPUT and PRINT subroutine and those guys were on to something pretty smart for the 1984 time period. There are 2 downsides to the Microdata Includes. First, the run-time error messages were offset by the number of lines of the includes. Thus you could get Divide by zero on line 478 and 478 was END. Second, you could only Include items from the same file as the item was in. Maybe I'm missing something. Since I still have a few old Microdata clients and I miss using regular Includes (and regular called subs), I make the very first line of code GOSUB GET.INCLUDES and put all of my Includes at the end of the program. That takes care of the line number offset problem. Unable to find documentation for the syntax of Microdata Includes, does anyone remember how I could have one Include file be available to a system with more than one BP file. Otherwise, I maintain the Includes redundantly in each BP file. Thanks in advance.

Re: [U2] @VARIABLES
I hope you put assignments like this in an Include. Having them loose in each program lends itself to them being mislabeled or other problems.

Re: [U2] @VARIABLES
Two things: 1. What does LIT mean? 2. How popular is having this double equate situation. What's wrong with EQUATE ERASE TO @(-1) I have a small pet peeve with equates like this. If not in an include it causes the programs to become very hard to read as you're listing hundreds of lines before you get to any real action. Second, not being in an include, the prior programmers may have had many sets of equates (one per data file) taking up so much room and the gist of the program is: LOOP WHILE READNEXT ID DO READ CUST FROM F.CUSTOMER, ID ELSE CONTINUE CUSTCM$MTD.SALES= WRITE CUST ON F.CUSTOMER, ID REPEAT So this program may be 200-300 lines only to support this function. Third, not having them in an include may cause some deviation amongst the different programs using the same files. I've got a new client with an old box using the ABEST programming structure and while it supports INCLUDES, each program may have hundreds of lines of individual equates for simple updating like above. I'm trying to rein in the horses by converting to an include but I have to neutralize the field name differences. Very unreadable. For the newbies, if you're going to use many equates, put them in an INCLUDE for consistency.

RE: [U2] @VARIABLES
Nothing wrong with TO. LIT means literally, I usually use TO for numbers and LIT for everything else. Using LIT with strings containing spaces is a little clearer than using TO. The help for EQUATE states TO is for equating to an expression, whereas LIT is for equating to a string. Regarding INCLUDES, I did state We created our own include to define the most commonly used. We also have one set of equates for each of our data files (used for field numbers), but they all exist in their own include, making field names unique across all of our systems. Most of our programs will have five or six INCLUDES at the top and then they drop straight into the code. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of MAJ Programming Sent: Friday, 23 March 2007 1:53 PM To: u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org Subject: Re: [U2] @VARIABLES Two things: 1.
