1. Any of the UniVerse file utilities should tell you type; FILE.STAT, GROUP.STAT, HASH.HELP, etc. Or LISTFL has a TYPE column and is quick.
3. SELECT FILE SAMPLE 500 SAMPLED 1200 will select 500 records from the file, picking every 1200th record. Not truly random, but probably close enough depending on your purposes.\ HTH, Jeff Fitzgerald Fitzgerald & Long, Inc. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Doug Chanco Sent: Wednesday, February 06, 2008 7:28 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [U2] question(s) Hey all, I am back to "re tooling" my mind from jBASE to Universe (although one question is not vendor specific) 1. In universe how can I tell what type of pick file I am looking at (type 2,3,4,5,6, etc ....) 2. I am getting a few (very few) "PRINTER MEMORY SEGMENT REMOVED" errors in root's emails but the few I am getting (roughly 3 a day) I cannot seem to figure out what's causing them. All our root cron jobs are either using uvcron or PHANTOM to start the universe program. 3. does anyone have a suggestion on RANDOMLY (or as random as possible) a way to SELECT a file? I am trying to get @ 500 RANDOM records from a file with 850,000 items. I have some ideas such as selecting the entire file and then every "x" records do some math operation and if even use this record but since I am a "pup" compared to some of you "I have been doing pick forever vets" out there I thought I would throw this out and see what comes back. The keys look like 51037517 51037516 15312939 51037518 15312936 51037519 51037512 51037513 51037515 14137791 51037514 51037510 Thanks everyone! dougc ------- u2-users mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/ ------- u2-users mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/
