RE: [U2] Merge/Purge methods...

Not sure what software package you're referring to here. It's expensive software but it's good. Ray, I wasn't really looking for software packages to do the merge/purge. We are already going to go with a packge, that upon trialing, seemed to do a very good job, but for now I'll remain nameless, just because I don't know if it's good or bad overall. What we currently do is create a simple key, LN*FN[1,3]*location (either zip[1,5] or country) as we traverse the list of names in the file, the @ID is added to the Key item -1. When we are done, in the work file we keep only item1 for each and that's our merged file. It's simple, but also has a lot of false failures, and misses some as well. We know that, which is why we went with a canned package. I read a bunch of techniques, but could not realistically see how to put into a fairly simple process that would still complete it's analysis on a file in fair amount of time which being less than 5 min for 50,000 names. If not using canned software, what are others (what methods) using for doing their Merge purging? Just fishing for other ideas other than the simple key method, and one that in general is not a 5 year project to program. Since using the canned software, adds a few extra steps, and is external to UV, I'd still like to come up with a better merge purge.

This is UD v7 and UV v10 in 2008, not v1 in 1995 (pre-long-path). I'm not quite sure what you're getting at here, but never mind ... Don't forget UV comes from a heritage where space was an illegal character in file names. (And it still is, for quite a lot of other programs that run under Windows, too. Spaces cause me grief, even in Windows itself!) I know at least one U2 administrator here that has site protocols about putting data into the C drive. I can see a lot of sites not accepting defaults and just needing to know that there are issues with spaces in paths. Where I work, we actually put both UV itself, and the data, on the D: drive by default (we don't put the accounts under \ibm\uv, which is where they go by default aiui). I keep all data in a separate \Data path anyway, separating databases from the software that runs under them. I can understand if the U2 DBMS' don't like spaces in paths to data, but there's no excuse for such restrictions on the OS code and admin utilities. Those restrictions make cross-platform implementation a bit easier. Note that MS have reportedly stripped the spaces from default pathnames in Vista or Windows 7 (I can't say for certain - I have yet to have the pleasure of fighting either of those OS's :-) Cheers, Wol -- Anthony W.
