RE: Common DICT
IME (and I could easily be wrong here), DELETE.FILE doesn't like absolute pathnames in F-pointers. That may, however, be a hangover from my Prime days. It will also, most definitely, warn you that this DICT filename does not match FILENAME, warning you that something is wrong. Just hope any user is not stupid enough to press Yes when it prompts to ask if you want to delete it. That said, what you describe is what we do all the time.

Normally, one would not delete an entire inventory file, so the danger of getting the 'master' dict wiped is not a real one. This is a common way of working. As you say, you just have to avoid deleting the master account!

RE: Common DICT
I've done that. Call the X-item X_FILENAME, and provided you make the filename reflect the account it's in (or what it's used for) then that's not a problem. I *never* assume that a DICT will be unique to one DATA file. That's one of the strengths of MV :-) Cheers, Wol -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mats Carlid Sent: 12 March 2004 10:44 To: U2 Users Discussion List Subject: Re: Common DICT Schalk van Zyl wrote: U2-ers, UNIVERSE.

I've seen apps using them for storing things like next available sequence number wich may be better left as separate for each instance of the file. -- Mats -- u2-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.oliver.com/mailman/listinfo/u2-users *** This transmission is intended for the named recipient only.
