The following is not true for EVAL on UV (I don't know about UD): > ... now that there are the CONV, FMT, COL.HDG and > EVAL keywords in RetrieVe there is no need to use synonym > dictionaries for reports, and thus no real need to give even > power users access to the dictionaries....
True for CONV, FMT, COL.HDG, but (for UV) you need write permissions on the dictionary to to use EVAL. It writes a temporary item to the dictionary for the duration of the sentence's execution. Example when I am read-only: >LIST CALL EVAL "1" 1 WRITE attempt on read-only file. Unable to write item "EVAL4952.1". I-descriptor "1" was not compiled. > I assume this was by conscious design, but I don't know. It may be too late to completely change that because people may rely on it. But I think it should be configurable. How about UniData? Do I feel a [BB] enhancement request coming on?
