I don't believe it - you're right! I could have sworn that using a DIM on a previously defined common array would do nothing, well I stand corrected.
Maybe I'm remembering what happened under PI/Open, but it certainly does work under Universe. Sorry for the misinformation. :( -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, 25 August 2006 2:29 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [U2] Need help - UV intermittent & roving file open error Really? It's redimensioning in common here on UV10, aix, PICK flavour, no question about it. Exactly for the purpose of a file open subroutine used in hundreds of programs with hundreds of users... No complaints. I have even just written a test program which redims a vector in common and works. Although it seems logical not to be able to change a dimension in common, if common variables are just pointers to a memory slot then extending an array probably just means pointing to some non-sequential memory for the new dimensions (just a guess). Maybe there is some other flavour/uvconfig flag which affects this?
