That is only true if you utilize the base BASIC code statements. Each flavor has its own special functions and user exits, but they both contain the same core BASIC statements. If you emphasize using the flavor's tweaked language to write applications, then a "standard MV BASIC style" does not really exist in any of your code. You have a flavor-specific MV BASIC style. IF/THEN blocks and FOR/NEXT loops are BASIC standards. IFS() is not in the D3 manual, so the proceeding argument can only be valid on flavors that have IFS(). I have no clue what it does, so I can't comment further on that. I think that someone should set up a statement cross-reference guide that shows descriptions and flavor compatibility. If there already is one, I'd love to see it. Example: UV UD D3 QM Reality DCOUNT Count data segments in an MV array [X] [x] [x] [x] [x] It would also be nice to see parameter syntax for each flavor, if there are differences. If they are the same syntax then a single syntax example would suffice. ---------------------------------------- Glen Batchelor IT Director All-Spec Industries phone: (910) 332-0424 fax: (910) 763-5664 E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Web: http://www.all-spec.com Blog: http://blog.all-spec.com ---------------------------------------- ------- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/
