Awesome feature Ross that you have in your Stamina product.
Is there a link to an article, example, or manual describing it in detail?
That way I can forward it to any Universe client inquiring about those
features.
I have seen Brian Leach's source code and he has the program information
embedded in a variable like this:
.
.
.
*------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Modification History
* -------------------
VERDATA=''
VERDATA := 'Version=001009003;'
VERDATA := 'VerModVer=001000000;'
VERDATA := 'VerBeta=;'
VERDATA := 'VerDate=15134;'
VERDATA := 'VerProd=ENTER;'
VERDATA := 'VerModule=;'
VERDATA := 'VerTM=;'
VERDATA := 'VerCopy=2005 Brian Leach Consulting Limited;'
VERDATA := 'VerCo=Brian Leach Consulting Limited;'
VERDATA := 'VerDesc=ENTER Screen Entry Processor;'
VERDATA := 'CatName=ENTER;'
VERDATA := 'VerHist=07 JUN 09 1.9.3 auto;'
.
.
.
I am wondering if Wjhonson would be better off doing something like
Brian's example above. This way the program has the program information
during run-time (as a variable) and it also is available to any source
code parsers (as long as he adheres to the standard).

We have something similar that is built into our Visage product that we call
"Snippet Technology". It is totally language neutral, and at a pure programming
level provides a recursive, extensible pre-compiler that can produce platform specific
and optimised code from a single code base, but we also harness the facility to power
things like our multi-lingual capabilities and web page generation.
However, I still cannot see where Will has explained why/what he will do once
he has program code in a variable ... what is the end game/objective?

Subject: Re: [U2] Read yourself
I saw on one PICK system, a precompiler language. It was the same as
PICK/BASIC, but had a preprocessor to it.
So, for example to get the user number on a Universe system you would use
[email protected]
On a PICK system, it would be USER.NO=OCONV(0,'U50BB')
Rather than write it into the program to check what system it is on (since
sometimes it could be different functions or statements used that never even
compile), then would do something like:
USER.NO=%GET USERNO%
The precompiler would look at the control table and translate the '%GET
USERNO%' to the appropriate statement, then compile.
I've seen software that was so generic it would run on any version of
Multivalue system and sometimes even non-Multivalue systems.

What problem are you trying to solve by doing so?
After all it's not rocket science (pardon the pun) to OPEN "BP" TO
BP.FV THEN READ R.PROG FROM BP.FV, PROG.ID ELSE ... Whatever END

Does anyone have a BASIC program, that will open it's own code in a variable ?
So something like this
GOSUB RETURN.A.LOCAL.FILE.AND.KEY.FOR.ME
READ THIS.PROGRAM FROM F.LOCALFILENAME, K.PROGRAMKEY ....
the program reads itself.
Does anyone have a program like that?
