no one and I mean NO ONE uses a system with 16 MB ram today!
we have 65 users on 2 gig ram, and when we do payments of unemployment
salaries to our members we do everything in memory, and just write the
edi file to a record a large batch takes less than two minutes and it
also generates payment specifications for storage in pdf format (using
cross pdf package).
oh and we also do an xml conversion of the edi file on the fly aswell..
UniVerse is really a top performer when it comes to number crunching
and file management
how do you power a 16 meg system today ?? - with steam ?
Note the use of the PAST tense. That machine is now salvage in my
garage, waiting for me to restore it to personal use.
I was just pointing out that MMV, and some things may work for some
people and not for others. Why we were trying to run 32 users on 16 meg,
even when the system was brand new (1990ish), I don't know.
Penny-pinching, I guess.
It's just that WRITESEQ makes a lot of sense when you're building BIG
strings and are short of RAM...

Our system was short of RAM - 16 meg for 32 users (PI/Open on
an EXL 7330). It thrashed enough under normal load, even
before you started to try and build large (and I mean LARGE)
strings in BASIC...
Cheers,
Wol
