Re: WEOFSEQ
From: Shawn Waldie [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, April 14, 2004 1:48 PM I need some clarification. Given the following: X.DIR = X.HOME.WALDIES; * the VOC item 'X.HOME.WALDIES' is a pointer to /home/waldies X.FILE = SRW_TEST_SEQ.txt OPENSEQ X.DIR,X.FILE TO FV.SEQ THEN WEOFSEQ FV.SEQ ELSE ... END Upon a successful open of X.DIR at X.FILE, will the WEOFSEQ erase everything in X.DIR starting with X.FILE, including other files that may exist under - positionally - X.FILE? Or is it just suppose to clear anything that might be contained in X.FILE? snip You *didn't* open X.DIR. You opened sequentiall X.FILE within X.DIR onto filepointer FV.SEQ. As a sidenote, all actions that you take using FV.SEQ must be sequential actions such as WRITESEQ, WEOFSEQ, CLOSESEQ. I'm not sure what would happen if you used a normal WRITE or CLOSE statement on that filepointer, I hope and suspect the program would bomb. -- u2-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.oliver.com/mailman/listinfo/u2-users
Re: BETWEEN in a CASE structure
From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Jason, Unless UniData 6.0 supports a 'BETWEEN' relational operator, I recommend to you to use the second scenario, Case (val = 6000 AND val = 6009). I'm using UniData 5.1 and 'BETWEEN' in not a valid relational operator in UniBasic. UniQuery, yes... You could check the code generated, but I tend to write a statement using just the greater_than operator, rather than the greater_than_or_equal_to, feeling that the number of actual operations is less. I also tend to use the explicitly test operators rather than those which can be test or assignment, but that's just style and open for debate. So, I'd use: CASE ((VAL GT 5999) AND (VAL LT 6010)) Rgds. -- u2-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.oliver.com/mailman/listinfo/u2-users
Re: VOC prompt issue?
From: Karl L Pearson [EMAIL PROTECTED] I have this VOC item we run: ED VOC BIN.LOC 7 lines long. : P 0001: PA 0002: CLEARDATA 0003: CLEARSELECT 0004: SELECT INVMST WITH F12 = ENTER BIN LOCATION TO LIST ITEMS FOR: 0005: SELECT INVMST WITH WAREHOUSE = 1 REQUIRE.SELECT 0006: SELECT INVMST WITH F12 # '' REQUIRE.SELECT 0007: LIST INVMST BY F04 BY ITEM F04 F12 ITEM F13 F14 F28 T48 DOLR DOLS ID.SUP LPTR DBL-SPC HEADING SPECIAL FOR CHRISTINE...ALL ITEMS IN A SPECIFIC BIN LOCATION 'T' PAGE 'P' REQUIRE.SELECT Bottom at line 7. When it's run multiple times, the second time re-prints the first run without prompting for a new bin location. Logging off, which I suspect clears something or other, allows the person to run it on a second item. Any thoughts? Sure. Try this: 003.5: * ENTER BIN LOCATION TO LIST ITEMS FOR 0004: SELECT INVMST WITH F12 = ENTER BIN LOCATION TO LIST ITEMS FOR: I'm not on a UV machine right now, so I can't check the syntax. I don't think you need the quotes you originally had in line 4, but I'm not 100% certain. On the newly inserted line, make sure there's a space between the asterisk and the Less_Than sign, otherwise the interpreter will think it's a globally cataloged routine. -- u2-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.oliver.com/mailman/listinfo/u2-users

Re: COMMON Variable.
From: Carolina Lizama [EMAIL PROTECTED] Is there a way to pass some common variable to a Phantom program - which will be called using EXECUTE 'PHANTOM '. I've even tried named COMMON and it lost its value. Common exists on a per-user basis. So, if your phantom initializes it, it can use it. But there's no way to pass values stored in common from one user to another user. In other languages, you can do it via shared memory, but to the best of my knowledge, that's not available in Universe/Unidata at the application level. Obviously it exists at the OS and DB level, otherwise LIST.READU and its brethren would be pretty useless :) -- u2-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.oliver.com/mailman/listinfo/u2-users
Re: SETPTR for sending to file
From: Cyndi Calvin [EMAIL PROTECTED] (responding to Jeff) LPTR!!! Thanks. That was what was missing. Works like a charm. THANK YOU Now for lesson two in SETPTR. The first parameter is a printer unit which defaults to zero. So, a not uncommon thing to do is to issue multiple setptr commands, then direct output to them appropriately. One example might be: SETPTR 0,132,2,0,0,3,BANNER MYFILE,BRIEF SETPTR 1,132,2,0,0,3,BANNER MYFILE.NARROW,BRIEF SETPTR 2,85,2,0,0,3,BANNER MYFILE.VERY.NARROW,BRIEF SELECT VOC SAMPLE 50 LIST VOC F1 F2 F3 F4 F5 LPTR SELECT VOC SAMPLE 50 LIST VOC F1 F2 F3 LPTR 1 SELECT VOC SAMPLE 50 LIST VOC F1 LPTR 2 Those are all MODE 3, which writes to the HOLD file. More appropriately, you might use the default MODE which spools, and use different AT's or DEST's within your SETPTR statements. I've seen people define their printer destinations using multiple SETPTR statements in their VOC LOGIN paragraphs. That way they can simply LIST anyfile LPTR 1 and it'll show up on a particular printer, or LIST anyfile LPTR 2 and have it show up elsewhere. The same logic can be used within BASIC programs where you need to create multiple output files simultaneously. Perhaps for an AP run where you're printing checks and a register. In that case you'd specify the UNIT in the SETPTR, the PRINT and the CLOSE statements. Defaults for all are zero, but they're all specifiable.

Re: Hashing Algorithm
From: Karjala Koponen [EMAIL PROTECTED] Would knowing the algorithms allow you to write a program that would accept parameters about your file, or even walk the file, to determine which file type would be best for that file? Years ago I wrote a FTN program that analyzed PR1ME INFORMATION files and recommended file types and modulos. Problem with it was that it required a reasonably in-depth understanding of the data structures, and they changed in some releases. When HASH.HELP became robust enough I quit using my program as I couldn't justify the development time/effort. Instead I wrote a front-end which generated paragraphs consisting primarily of HASH.HELP %filename% statements. The paragraphs included COMO statements, and the final statement ran a program to interpret the output from the HASH.HELP and execute an appropriate RESIZE command. -- u2-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.oliver.com/mailman/listinfo/u2-users
