Subject: InValid Characters



When I issue the following LIST command, there is are apparent bad
characters, ascii box drawing characters.

How can I clear them ?  The two characters show up a single box below.

Thus far, I have had no luck using EditPlus, HP-Unix vi, UniVerse Edit
Up-Arrow mode, or UV.VI.  

I tried the ascii equivalents of the box characters per...

   DELETE PS ^210^201
   Record ID ^210^201 not found.
   0 records DELETEd.

   DELETE PS ^210
   Record ID ^210 not found.
   The records for @ID 103662 and 101393 appear to be clean.

   DELETE PS ^D2
   Record ID ^D2 not found.
   0 records DELETEd.

   DELETE PS ^D2^C9
   Record ID ^D2^C9 not found.
   0 records DELETEd.

Suggestions would be appreciated.

 the systems I work on don't have EDIT-LIST, and I never think
 to change the punctuation and try the revised form of the
 commands - I grew up on EDIT-LIST and SAVE-LIST, etc.

The ECL parser should accept the dashed versions of these commands.  Any
chance you have a VOC entry (or something in the global catalog) for
EDIT-LIST or EDIT.LIST that's getting in the way?

Tim,

Thanks - I just looked at CTLGTB and there is an entry there for both.

EDIT-LIST looks like this:

M
0
@UDTHOME/SYS_BP EDIT-LIST
root

EDIT.LIST looks the same, but has EDIT.LIST instead of EDIT-LIST.

In UDTHOME, we have a sys directory, which contains a SYS_BP file, which
contains EDIT.LIST and EDIT_LIST, not EDIT-LIST.

Does this indicate that one of my predecessors on these systems was getting
adventuresome, or is this standard issue?

Susan,

That all looks like what I'm seeing on a system here, and both EDIT-LIST
and EDIT.LIST work fine. What platform, UDT release, etc. are you working
with?

Just for giggles, it may be interesting to create a synonym VOC entry for
EDIT-LIST that looks like this:
1: S
2: EDIT.LIST

If that works, it may help track this down.

Re: InValid Characters

2004-02-09 Thread Susan Lynch
Tim,

UD 6.0.6 (but, if I remember correctly, this was true on the release 5 that
we came from as well, and our standard policy is to uninstall and re-install
Unidata for a new release, which should have replaced CTLGTB).  This being
my first experience with the Unidata flavor, I thought it was standard
behavior - annoying but standard.  So, rather than set up what I thought was
a non-standard synonym (and have to set  up on all the customer machines as
well, if one of my colleagues started using it), I was just avoiding editing
lists.

The synonym entry in the VOC does work as expected.

Re: InValid Characters

2004-02-06 Thread Susan Lynch
Bill,

Not sure whether you are on UV or UD, so I will avoid using the EDIT-LIST
command (which UD does not have).  Given that restriction, probably the
easiest method would be to

SELECT PS = [101393 BY-DSND @ID
(assuming that @id is left-justified)

If only 1 item selected, DELETE PS

If more than 1 item selected, SELECT PS SAMPLE 1, then LIST PS to be sure
that the one selected is the one with the unusual characters in the key.

If yes, then repeat the two SELECTs and DELETE PS.  If no, then your system
is sorting unprintable characters differently than mine is, and you will
have to play with the selection process in order to get the right record
selected prior to deleting it.

RE: InValid Characters

2004-02-06 Thread djordan


The easiest way I got over this is to select the file by @ID.  The
control characters are usually at the top or the end (by.dsnd)

Then do an ED file
And then delete the record, stepping through the select list.
