Re: [U2] Calculation on multi-valued elements
Remember that when dealing with Multi-values in an I-Descriptor you must use MV logic throughout. So yes the -, +, *, / all have MV support but the IF, THEN, ELSE does not. Use the SUBRs that are provided like -EQS and -IFS. Thanks, David A.

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
