That's is pretty big, my personal experience with big files on udt was up to
about 60Gig - we did use memresize no problems - but had to set the TMPPATH

I thought TMPPATH was not valid for Dynamic files:
The TMPPATH option is invalid if any DYNAMIC options are specified (or if the
starting file is dynamic and no file type options are specified).

Except that CONVERT will take a from list and a to list. Much as Wil

I often use that trick when validating input - if say I only want
numbers I will do something like

UV's CHANGE or EREPLACE are synonyms:
EREPLACE(expression, substring, replacement [,occurrence [,begin] ] )

UV's SWAP is different:

To be rigorous, per Wol's final sentence, if any legitimate LF
(char(10)) or CR (char(13)) occurred in the INPUTVAR string outside
the CRLF pair, they too would be stripped out by
CONVERT CHAR(10):CHAR(13) TO '' IN INPUTVAR.
or the equivalent
INPUTVAR = CONVERT( CHAR(10):CHAR(13),
Convert as mentioned by others does a character by character
replacement, so convert "abc" to "def" will convert all occurrences of
"a" to "d", all occurrences of "b" to "e" and all occurrences of "c" to
"f" in the target string.
If the "to" string contains less characters than the "from" string,
I'm jumping in so this option may have been discussed already but I think the
following would also do the trick:
X = ICONV(X,'MCB')

There is nothing wrong with ANTLR. It is very powerful piece of software
if used for the right reason. BDT is trying to simulate what would happen
when you compile the code while you are entering using ANTLR.
Simulations are just simulations. For the life of BDT they, meaning

Bob,
Good idea! Currently I'm wrestling with just 2 control characters (010
