The UniVerse BASIC documentation should detail out the OCONV choices -- I know UniData's does -- do you have access to the BASIC documentation? The 2/ means use "/" as the delimitter (it could be "-" for example) and make the year 2 digits (it could be 4.)
The <-1> connotation means 'put as the last element' -- so if the array was already [EMAIL PROTECTED]@amC The <-1> = ID would put the value of ID after "C" with an attribute mark delimitter. SO if ID were "F", you'd have [EMAIL PROTECTED]@[EMAIL PROTECTED] I see from your company you guys specialize in Offshore development -- I figured our little corner of the database world would escape offshoring! No such luck I guess! <g> > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of > Sanjeebkumar Sarangi > Sent: Monday, March 19, 2007 8:41 AM > To: [email protected] > Subject: [U2] -ve INDEX,OCONV > > Hi, > What does a negative index mean in an array .If LIST<-1>=ID > is a segment of the code what does this -ve number mean is > it by default the first element. > > If we do a external conversion usng OCONV(sysdate,'D2/'),the > D indicates the date conversion specification but why is the > 2/ being used here...what can be the change in the conversion? > > Thanks > Sanjeeb ------- u2-users mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/
