The ASSIGNED function is not available in 6.1. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Tony Gravagno Sent: Wednesday, July 14, 2010 3:50 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [U2] Unidata UNAssigned() vs Assigned()
This is dumb, sorry. In my cross-platform code I have a check to see if the platform is Unidata, and if so, I say: IF UNASSIGNED(VAR) THEN ... for all other MV platforms I use: IF NOT(ASSIGNED(VAR)) THEN ... I just noticed that in some code I wrote two years ago that I had removed the DBMS check and all platforms are using IF NOT(ASSIGNED()). Unfortunately (slapping myself) there's no comment in the code to support why that change was made. Did they introduce support for ASSIGNED() in some v7.2 release of Unidata - or maybe that was just a bad change? I don't see this in any release notes. I'd just like to know if/when it was introduced so that I know where I should (not) use ASSIGNED() in new development. For this product (NebulaXLite that creates Excel workbooks) I'm inclined to continue to use UNAssigned since I don't want to have to check which release of Unidata someone might be using. Thanks.
