Re: [U2] Universe Equivalent of the UnIData DIR command
Doug, You didn't state whether this is a hashed file or a file produced from some other OS level application which would make some difference, but there are a number of ways to do this in UniVerse. If the file you are interested in is a UniVerse hashed file you can try and open it with the OPENPATH statement (or any of the other possibilities like referencing it through a Q-pointer with the OPEN statement). If the file doesn't exist, the ELSE clause of the OPENPATH or OPEN statement will be taken. If the file is not a UniVerse hashed file you can always try and open it with the OPENSEQ statement by using the directory path to the file. Once again, if the file doesn't exist, the ELSE clause will be taken. Either way, once the file is open you can use the Basic STATUS statement on the file variable to return a wealth of information about the file, all the fields you are interested in plus many more fields. Example: OPENSEQ '/etc/passwd' TO PASSWD.FILE ELSE CRT 'Cannot open the unix file of all valid users' STOP END STATUS FILE.PROPERTIES FROM PASSWD.FILE THEN CRT 'The size of /etc/passwd is ':FILE.PROPERTIES6,1,1 CRT 'The permissions of /etc/passwd are ':FILE.PROPERTIES5,1,1 END ELSE CRT 'Could not retrieve status on /etc/passed' END From TCL: HELP BASIC STATUS HELP BASIC OPENSEQ HELP BASIC OPENPATH From the Basic manual (CD) you can check each of these commands for a more detailed explanation including how to use $INCLUDE UNIVERSE.INCLUDE FILEINFO.H which will let you retrieve about 90 different properties of of the file by name rather than attribute,value,subvalue [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Universe has a STATUS statement (not the function) and a FILEINFO() function.

RE: [U2] Universe Equivalent of the UnIData DIR command
Thanks Allen, this is what I needed. I have a subroutine I wrote that is used in an I descriptor in the dictionary of a BP file. The subroutine takes in the program name and BP file name, and returns last modified date and time, last compiled date and time, size of the program in bytes. Using the UnIData DIR command gave me this information. For UniVerse, this code you gave me should do the trick. I did not know about the STATUS command. I have worked in Reality, Pick, Mentor, Ultimate, Prime, UniData for 28 years, but never in UniVerse. Thanks again!
