Question to those who have used the UOJ connector... Is "extract" as stupid in Java as it is in PHP? With PHP you can't use this to extract an attribute to a local variable and then loop through the mv's like you would in BASIC. Every freakin' routine that wants to get a multivalue has to use Field(n) to get the attribute number first, then Field(m) for the value, and that's a RPITA.
I've taken to parsing delimiters and using explode() in PHP to break things up by delimiter and convert the entire dynamic array to a first class PHP array; otherwise everything just gets too long and ugly. Does UOJ have this kind of thing as well?
