1. we use ANALYZE.FILE <FILE.NAME> .. it gives the scoop on anything not a directory and a little bit on dynamic files. 2. That's an indication of some type of memory leak or stack overflow I think. I'm pretty sure its an abnormal condition. You could probably duplicate it in a sub calling itself until it gets either too deep or too big maybe. The 'printer segment removed' I think is a symptom of the abnormal condition.
3. If you dont require specific key characteristics, you can use 'SAMPLED'. SELECT <FILE.NAME> SAMPLED 2000 , will take every 2000th record as they occur in the file I believe. john On 2/6/08, Doug Chanco <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hey all, > > I am back to "re tooling" my mind from jBASE to Universe (although > one question is not vendor specific) > > > > 1.
