Re: [U2] REMOVE results as promised.
I tried that method (styles 7 & 8) and got a longer time. Perhaps my test system isn't as fast (workload?) and as such, allowed the differences to be more pronounced. Here's my fastest version DIM A(5) ; MAT A="" FOR I=1 TO 5 A(I)=I NEXT I B=A CONVERT 254 TO 253 IN B ;* LOWER (sic) Your method has 5 (49,999) extraneous IF statements that I would have considered detrimental. I'll try it verbatim on the same system and get back to you. In case anyone cares about the system's workload, I tried each test several times in an out of sequence to post their average times. It ain't a virtual memory issue like years (decades) ago.

RE: [U2] REMOVE results as promised.
Not that it seems to matter these days but both this method and the <..-1> notation (which is an implicit form of the same thing) could be said to be needlessly evaluating whether or not A is null 49,999 times. An alternative would be : A = 1 FOR I = 2 TO 5 A := @VM : I NEXT I I also found (many years ago) that :- A = '' FOR I = 1 TO 5 A:= @VM : I NEXT I DEL A<1,1,0> or A = A[2,99] was faster than repeatedly testing whether A was null Piers -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Dzevad Dizdar Sent: Monday, August 22, 2005 05:27 To: u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org Subject: Re: [U2] REMOVE results as promised.

I need to reformat and print the value so that each sub-value is no longer than 55 characters.

RE: [U2] Formatting Help
Are you wanting to do a word-wrap somewhere around the 55th character of each subvalue? In other words, if I have two subvalues in one value where the first one is 69 characters and the second is 45, is it acceptable that you end up with three subvalues (one ~55, next ~15, and then the next being 45)? Or are you wanting to take that short second line and wrap it onto the front of that line that might have 45 chars? -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Al DeWitt Sent: Monday, August 22, 2005 9:17 AM To: u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [U2] Formatting Help I have a multi-value field within a multi-value field (sub-values).

Re: [U2] REMOVE results as promised.
Hey, the evaluation of various methods is great, it would be even greater if the folks doing the evaluating would let us know what sort of hardware. One poster mentioned a laptop, that's good info. The original guy mentions a production system that is in use, that's good too. But, it would be much more useful if we had the make model and os specs for the machines. After all, these days it's not too hard to buy some honkin hardware that will mostly mask sloppy or inefficient programs.

RE: [U2] Formatting Help
I'll take a stab at this, off the cuff... GOSUB PRINT.HEADINGS NUM.FIELDS=DCOUNT(@RECORD,@FM) FOR F.POS = 1 TO NUM.FIELDS NUM.VALUES=DCOUNT(@RECORD,@VM) FOR V.POS = 1 TO NUM.VALUES NUM.SUBVS=DCOUNT(@RECORD,@SVM) FOR S.POS = 1 TO NUM.SUBVS PLINE=FOLD(@RECORD,55) PLINE.CNT=DCOUNT(PLINE,@FM) IF PLINE.CNT + LINE.CNT GT MAX.LINES THEN GOSUB PRINT.FOOTER GOSUB PRINT.HEADER END FOR LINE.NUM = 1 TO PLINE.CNT PRINT PLINE LINE.CNT += 1 NEXT LINE.NUM PRINT LINE.CNT += 1 NEXT S.POS NEXT V.POS NEXT F.POS You will need to supply the additional supporting internal subroutines and logic to populate @RECORD but this should be a pretty easy to understand core from which you can expand to your needs. This should work for both UV and UD but in all honesty, I've not used UD directly. Hope that helps.

The length of each sub-value can be up to 70 characters. I need to reformat and print the value so that each sub-value is no longer than 55 characters. To complicate matters I need to know ahead of time how many "lines" the reformatted value takes up so that if it's greater than the page length I can do a page eject and new headings before I print the value. I've never do this before so how should I approach this?

RE: [U2] REMOVE results as promised.
Remember, folks, that you don't have to start with 1 in a FOR-NEXT loop. A=1 FOR I = 2 TO 5 A := @VM:I NEXT I Just a peanut from the gallery being thrown.

Ahh, you guys "freezing" down south near the border ! It's a balmy 22 again ... Hey, have YOU considered moving your business a little further North :-) OK, worth a shot! If you know of anyone "reasonable" who is after a "sea change", keep us in mind we seem to be "always looking" Last ads we ran in the local paper for general Web skills, we had 6 applicants - 3 turned up for interviews, and we didn't hire ANYONE ! Have now approached the Uni directly to see if they can help I DID learn from the newspaper ad though, and decided to exclude the paragraph that said "We offer lousy pay, long hours, contact with irate customers and dinghy offices" On another note, how is your QM based product going ?

Also consider using FMTS on the entire string, eg. STRING = FMTS(STRING,"55T") This will perform the "55T" formatting on each element of the string (in this case: each sub-value).
