Re: [U2] 2gig limit sticking into bash shell
ulimit is a limit on system resources that can be set on a per user base. This
command is on all versions of *nix that I know of. Depending on the operating
system the values under the ulimit may differ.

Yes that is the one - ulimit -f is unlimited but when i shell out of

You may want to check the ulimit for the user. Shell down to Unix
and
perform a ulimit -f this will tell you if there is a max file size
set on
this specific user.

Re: [U2] 2gig limit sticking into bash shell
What user was assigned to udt when it was installed? Check that user's
ulimit.
We run UV, and some commands (create-file, SH -c, etc.) run as the user
assigned to UV during the install, not as the user that is actually logged
in. Shelling out with sh gives you your own environment variables, but
running a temporary shell command from TCL is done with the UV user's
environment variables. I would assume udt would work with the same type of
scenario.

[U2] General guidelines on indexing
Our primary application hasn't needed the performance gains offered by indexing, but our database has grown large and complex enough that we're looking at it seriously. Having only dabbled with indexing in test environments, I've got a few general and best practice questions. I've seen some comments in the archives on some of the pitfalls, e.g. the dangers of indexing remote files and indexing on correlatives with subroutines. But posts I found are at least a year old. I'm guessing there may be updated information out there. Feel free to point out that everything I'm asking is in the archives and send me there. Some questions: * Are there guidelines for how many indices is too many for one file (assuming disk space isn't an issue)? * Does BUILD.INDEX with the ONLINE parameter work as advertised? Can it really be run while the file is being updated? * How about data consistency? I seem to remember there being concerns in earlier days of an index not always being updated correctly. * How about indexing multi/subvalued fields? I don't know that we'd want to, but is it advisable? Valuable? * We use EMC to clone our production account so we can run nightly reports off-line. The account is renamed in this process. Might that cause any index issues? The clone is read-only, so there are no updates, just queries. * I've seen mention of index corruption. Is it obvious when an index is corrupt or can it be subtle? If subtle, are there ways to detect issues before our users do? * Performance is what we're after, but are there benefits to indexing other than performance?

Re: [U2] Calculation on multi-valued elements
Using LTS gets you to compare each element of an array to each of another. Reuse will repeat the last element if you have an unequal number of elements in each array. It could also be a problem that this dictionary has an MTS conversion. It is probably comparing a time to zero. By the way, use (ICONVS, OCONVS) on a multivalue field. Or make another dictionary without the conversion, but pointing at the same data. also look up (CATS, GES, GTS, LES, LTS, EQS, ORS, ANDS, MULS, NUMS, FMTS, LENS, and so on.)

Re: [U2] Calculation on multi-valued elements
As already stated, IFS, LTS, REUSE, and a bunch more are MultiValue Handling Functions documented in Universe Basic manual. Don't know where UD documents them. They can be called from I-descriptors. Unidata is similar, but I think you might need to call them from I-descriptors via SUBR(). This is a difference between Prime-style I-descriptors Pick-style correlatives. For correlatives, you write as if single-value the correlative handler feeds the appropriate values from the mv to the correlative. For I-desc, you have to write like you would in UV/UD Basic. E.g., @RECORD3 refers to the entire @vm-delineated dynamic array. The following should all work on UV if I were capable of typing it correctly. This parallels your own style: 0002: IFS( LTS( @RECORD3, @RECORD2 ), @RECORD3-...@record2+ REUSE( 86400 ), @RECORD3-...@record2 ) for Unidata I *think* you need to do something like this: 0002: SUBR( '-IFS', SUBR( '-LTS', @RECORD3, @RECORD2 ), @RECORD3-...@record2 + REUSE( 86400 ), @RECORD3-...@record2 ) You can use the dict names START FINISH instead of @RECORD2, @RECORD3 I prefer: 0002: (FINISH - START) + ( LTS( START, FINISH ) * REUSE( 86400 ) ) To handle the 1st pair of values, where FINISH is blank because the job is still running, you might wrap the whole thing inside another IFS: 0002: IFS( NES( FINISH, '' ), [one of the calculations listed above], [ '' or REUSE( 'running' ) or whatever] ) ___ U2-Users mailing list U2-Users@listserver.u2ug.org http://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users

Re: [U2] Simple Export to Excel
Let's not forget what the RS stands for. In addition, there were many applications that went far beyond anything contemplated by it, kind of like off-label uses for prescription drugs.

Re: [U2] Calculation on multi-valued elements
The semi-colon way of writing is more readable, but UV does not let you reference such an I-descriptor (as reusable code) from some future one. For example, next year you want to know how fast/slow certain programs run during certain times of the day. You'll want to use the RUN_TIME result within a second I-descriptor. UV won't let you if it uses multiple buffers as written below. I think this is a serious defect dating back to Prime but since it has never been changed, I'm guessing it would require tremendous rewrite. Does anyone know when MULS and ADDS would ever be necessary, since +,-,*,/ are already vectored? Don't forget about DLIST for debugging I-descriptors. Don't know if the above applies to UD.
