Re: [U2] Advantage of indirect call in BASIC
As far as the number of arguments changing, I will often write a subroutine with a few extra variables (FUTURE1, FUTURE2, FUTURE3) so that I do not need to find all the existing programs that call it and recompile them. It makes this sort of thing a piece of cake. The existing programs will likely not need to populate the arguments other than initialized to null.

Re: [U2] Advantage of indirect call in BASIC
I could see a 4gl writing out this kind of code, or a menu system. When you use indirect calling, the name of the subroutine can contain odd characters that wouldn't normally be allowed--though on some platforms you can also quote the call, e.g.: CALL "my-sub**"(parms) On Dec 3, 2012, at 7:38 PM, Wjhonson wrote: > I've not encountered this is my career previously, but now I'm seeing a > system written almost entirely with the use of indirect calls in Universe > BASIC. > > That is > SOURCE = "*SOME.PROGRAM" > ... > CALL @SOURCE(INPUTS) > > Is there some advantage to the use of indirect calls that a system would be > written entirely in this fashion? > > > ___ > U2-Users mailing list > U2-Users@listserver.u2ug.org > http://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users ___ U2-Users mailing list U2-Users@listserver.u2ug.org http://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users
Re: [U2] uniobjects.net
Why not call a subroutine to do REFORMAT to a file, then read the file and return the output. That will give you your I-type data (if I am reading what you are after correctly).

Re: [U2] Advantage of indirect call in BASIC
I would hate to see that in our software, as it would be so hard to find where a subroutine is used. On the odd occasion we use this form (eg call depends on transaction type), we do the definition just above, so it can be found. In my experience, the number of parameters is more likely to change that the subroutine name.

In Prime Information, the reference would be resolved the first time that the routine was called, and it would be cached. Thereafter, calls to the routine would be faster.

I've worked on a system that uses this approach. A bunch of variables are defined in the startup program called by the LOGIN paragraph, and stored in named common. The idea behind it was to centralize in the event that the called program ever needed to be changed.

Re: [U2] uniobjects.net
For me the key is in how many is "a number of records"?

[U2] uniobjects.net
Hi - I have been using uniobjects.net for many years now, however I usually use it to call a basic subroutine on the u2 server. I now have a little project where I need to get a number of records from a file, ideally like the output of a list command as I have some itypes I also need to get. I could do this via a select list and read the ids into a unidataset and then call other programs to get the itype data, or I could do a unixml probably a few other ways. So what is the best way to do this ? Thanks Symeon. ___ U2-Users mailing list U2-Users@listserver.u2ug.org http://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users
