[U2] Prime number file modulos
A little non-U2 but I'm sure still answerable by many experienced MV persons. One client (AP-Pro, Native) reported to me a bunch of GFE's. Upon further investigation, all of the involved data files had non-prime modulos. This begs the question. Did it really matter to be prime. I understand the concept of prime numbers and the many forms of hashing so let's not deviate into a hashing thread debate. I'm just interested to learn first-hand observations on native systems with non-prime file modulos. Thanks in advance.

I'm just interested to learn first-hand observations on native systems with non-prime file modulos. Non-prime number modulo values are likely to lead to clustering of records and hence more overflow. Although GFEs should never happen, the probability of damage to links in chains of overflow blocks at system failures, etc is roughly proportional to the length of the chain. No overflow, no GFEs (in theory!).

[U2] UniSubroutine: ErrorCode: 30106: Wrong number of arguments supplied to the subroutine

Check to see where the subroutine is actually cataloged from. You may be working with the wrong subroutine source code.

From: Rick Ward [EMAIL PROTECTED] Does anyone have any idea why one would encounter ErrorCode: 30106, Wrong number of arguments supplied to the subroutine Because the wrong number of arguments is being supplied to the subroutine? ;) when the correct number of arguments are being supplied to the subroutine? Sorry... my experience has been that UOJ is usually right about such things, and without seeing both your Java code and the subroutine code, it's impossible to tell what's going on. If it's *really* happening, it must be a bug and should be submitted to IBM. -- Wendy Smoak --- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/
Re: [U2] Prime number file modulos
The funniest or most gruesome file tuning that I've seen was a few years ago, at a site that I won't name, who had a master file with a modulo of exactly 100 and where 99% of the ids were numbers ending in 00. Definitely not tuned by FAST - - maybe they'd used SLOW? Answering Mark's question, did it really matter to be prime? . . . No, but if your group distribution is extremely lumpy or spiky, then, as Henry Eggers once said, your file is walking around with a sign taped to the back of its shirt, saying, Hit Me!. -- CONFIDENTIALITY: The information transmitted is intended only for the person or entity to which it is addressed and may contain material that is confidential, privileged and exempt from disclosure under applicable law.

Re: [U2] Prime number file modulos
I've definitely seen some non-prime modulos make a mess of things on platforms that allow them. UniData forces everything to a prime number, but UniVerse and some PICKs don't. If I remember rightly, Sequoia forced it to a number ending in 1, 3, 7, or 9. I remember an argument years ago - supported by Dick Pick, I believe - that said any number that is not divisible by 2 or 5 would be OK with a mod-10 hashing algorithm. I've never played with the math of it, but it sounds valid on the surface. I've seen lots of files with a modulus of 301 - apparently people think it looks kinda prime-ish - that worked as well as the actual prime of 307. But change it to 300 and it's a different story.

RE: [U2] UniSubroutine: ErrorCode: 30106: Wrong number of arguments supplied to the subroutine
If your subroutine is subr(result,var1,var2) then from UniObjects you would have to call it with 3 variables. If you are calling another subroutine within the subroutine you initially called and that has the wrong number of arguments then it is possible that it will fail with the same error message. Trying calling the subroutine from the tcl prompt writing a quick test program to call the subroutine and you will be able to see any issues.
