Re: [U2] Custom Functions
In message [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes When I said 'hack' I meant the ugly code that I had to create to make the trick work--the idea of having to put a dummy parameter into the function call in the basic program in order to make it compatable with the subr call in the i-type. Sorry for the confusion there. I don't get that ... As I say, I'm talking UV, but it's the SUBROUTINE that has the extra argument to make them compatible ... Your example had both the subroutine and the function with the same number of arguments. IME, using the function version hides the first argument making it have one less. So if you want to call a function from the SUBR() routine, I'd do FUNCTION MYHACK( A, B) code RETURN then call it with SUBR( *MYHACK, A, B) ;* Don't forget I'm using UV with that * :-) Cheers, Wol -- Anthony W.

RE: [U2] Connection Refused downloading PE
I get something different (but still U/S) - I've reported it to the powers that be.

The 'clients' .zip file is downloading over HTTP with no problems, but it looks like it's coming from a different place. I'll try again tomorrow, meanwhile I figured I'd at least mention it in the hopes that someone from IBM might be able to check on it.

Sorry for the confusion there. Ed, UniData doesn't advertise FUNCTIONs as being compatible with SUBR(). I don't see why it is any uglier to have to write a FUNCTION with two arguments in order to be able to invoke it via SUBR passing only one parameter than it is to code a SUBROUTINE that way.

Wol, I will say this only once more. Current releases of UniData *DO NOT* implement FUNCTION as a SUBROUTINE with an extra, hidden argument. UniVerse does. In UniVerse a FUNCTION declared with two parameters *IS* a SUBROUTINE with three. On UniData a FUNCTION declared with two parameters is exactly that - a FUNCTION which expects two parameters.

RE: [U2] Custom Functions
Ken: Ditto! :-) One might add faster and more stable triggers and built-in input timing.
