Well, it turns out that the behaviour was nothing to do with the version of unidata and everything to do with DATE.FORMAT missing* from the LOGIN proc!
So a positive (although slightly embarrassing) outcome. Edward * Not missing entirely, just being skipped when the LOGIN proc was running as a phantom. Which is why the same command done at the command line worked correctly. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Dan McGrath Sent: 22 March 2009 20:47 To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [U2] Select behaviour, Phantoms and Unidata 6.1 Can't say I have, we only have 7.1 now so I can only confirm what you already know about 7.1 Does placing the LIST in VOC as a sentence then running that as a phantom make a difference at all? If you just to LIST FILE DATE.DICT SAMPLE 20, is there any difference in the output when run as a phantom? -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Edward Brown Sent: Saturday, 21 March 2009 6:55 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [U2] Select behaviour, Phantoms and Unidata 6.1 Hello, Strange one here - I have a V type dictionary item with a D4/ in attribute 3. Using this at TCL with an ECLTYPE of U I am able to do LIST FILE WITH DATE.DICT > "01/01/2009" DATE.DICT SAMPLE 20 and it works as expected, listing 20 records where the date is later than that returned by DATE.DICT. If I run the same command within a phantom, i.e. precede the line above with the word PHANTOM, then it fails with a 'nothing selected' message. The exact same thing works as expected on Unidata 7.1. If I change the date in the statement to internal format then it gives the correct result running under a phantom on unidata 6.1. Wondering if anyone's seen this before? ---- As a completely separate question (well, except I hit it again whilst debugging the above) - within the command line unidata debugger, is there a way to have it find the source code automatically? It's a pain having to 'S' it into the debugger all the time!
