A curious feature of true and false on universe:

0002 if x=0 then crt 'is zero' else crt 'not zero'
0003 if x then crt 'true'
on universe (not sure of unidata), you can use FILEINFO() to see if something
is a file variable:
x=""
crt fileinfo(x,0)
returns 0. Would return 1 for an open file.

just the multi values you want, but then you wouldn't get an output line for

so is this summary correct?
Unidata only accepts the '[]' wildcards in ecltype "P". In ecotype "U" you need
to use the LIKE/MATCH "…" syntax.
However, in ecltype "P", paragraphs always run their commands as ecltype "U".
So in ecltype "P", the "[]" wildcards will work when typed at TCL, but not in
Have you tried examining the strings?
The equal sign will work if the 2 strings are the same. But they can be equal
as dynamic arrays while not equal as strings. For example, on universe:
0001 A="1":@AM:"2"
0002 B="1":@AM:" 2 "
0003 CRT A=B
0004 CRT EQS(A,B)
prints:
0
1^1
The 2 dynamic arrays
There may be a little confusion here too because unidata and some flavors in
universe have vector math on by default, so for example:
001 A=1:@AM:3
002 B=2:@VM:9
003 CRT A+B
on unidata and universe in information flavor this will print 3]9^3, while
universe in ideal or pick flavor will print 0
I'm pretty sure that's the OS user id that you would see on unix in /etc/passwd
or as the first column in a ps -f listing. If you're root it will be 0. On
windows it's some similar number. unidata returns it in @UID

So what exactly do you mean by interpolation?
If you google "variable interpolation" you can find a bunch of examples from
other languages, such as:
for($i=1;$i<=15;$i++)
{
${'test_'.$i} = $i;
}
There's nothing like this in any mv implementation that I know of. In mv you

yep, it's there for compatibility with pr1me. the source is in APP.PROGS SLEEP:
0031 subroutine PR1ME(time.in.milliseconds)
0032 ;* if time.in.milliseconds < 1000 then sleep 1
0033 ;* else sleep (time.in.milliseconds / 1000)
0034
0035NAP time.in.milliseconds
0036 return

yep, those 79 programs are for compatibility with prime and are mostly not
documented, because they aren't documented :). the source for all of them is in
APP.PROGS I think.

The only "decompiler" that I know of is the VLIST command on universe. I don't
think there is an equivalent on unidata.

IIRC, universe doesn't let you run *any* query commands, including LIST-ITEM,
on a file if there isn't a dict defined. So at some point someone had edited
the voc f-pointer for LISTU.HISTORY, and put VOC into attribute 3? That's
slightly dangerous. Good thing uv warns.

I could see a 4gl writing out this kind of code, or a menu system.
When you use indirect calling, the name of the subroutine can contain odd
characters that wouldn't normally be allowed--though on some platforms you can
also quote the call, e.g.:
CALL "my-sub**"(parms)
