It's a feature! For old "legacy" apps that use the marker (and other control/non-printable) characters as part of the key and are too hard to change.
UV lets you turn that feature off, maybe UD does too now. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Dan McGrath Sent: Wednesday, 29 April 2009 3:10 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [U2] RE: Interest results on VOC file Hi Nick, I had tried checking out the ID's of the keys affected. There was was nothing unusual about them that I can tell. One was "1" and another was "2". When attempting to edit them, they didn't exist. After reading your email, I write a quick test program: 001: OPEN "BREAKME" TO FH ELSE STOP 003: WRITE "1" TO FH,"1":@SM 002: WRITE "2" TO FH,"2":@VM 003: WRITE "3" TO FH,"3":@AM 004: WRITE "4" TO FH,"4":CHAR(10) 005: WRITE "5" TO FH,"5":CHAR(13) Bottom. *--: After running it, I did the select/nselect on BREAKME and it came back with 1 record. :) Record "3" didn't exist, the attribute marker is the culprit. Now I need to find out who has written a program that is causing this, because it isn't the first time these ghost records have appeared... It begs a question though. How come Unidata allows a program to write records with keys that it can not handle without error?
