Re: [U2] SAVE-LIST [FILENAME] LISTNAME
I Just tested this. If the file is a type 30 file, and you do an open path, it sill only reads the items in the DATA/OVER.30 portion, and ignores any other files that are in the directory, like ones that SAVE.LIST would put there. > -Original Message- > From: u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org [mailto:u2-users- > boun...@listserver.u2ug.org] On Behalf Of George Gallen > Sent: Thursday, July 16, 2009 9:47 AM > To: U2 Users List > Subject: Re: [U2] SAVE-LIST [FILENAME] LISTNAME > > although, that could be an undocumented feature of save-list, you can >write items to a type 30 file, that can't be read back or listed. >so if you wanted to hide some information.

Re: [U2] SAVE-LIST [FILENAME] LISTNAME
that's from basic, I meant from the ">" prompt. Save-list works, but only to type 1/19 files, not with type 30 files, well, it still works, but not in a usable way. although, that could be an undocumented feature of save-list, you can write items to a type 30 file, that can't be read back or listed. so if you wanted to hide some information. I haven't checked but I wonder if you did an OPENPATH "filename" would it show up then? It would be invisible to the system because it's a type 30 and the system is only looking at the DATA/OVER.30 files. h George > -Original Message- > From: u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org [mailto:u2-users- > boun...@listserver.u2ug.org] On Behalf Of Kebbon Irwin > Sent: Wednesday, July 15, 2009 10:53 PM > To: u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org > Subject: Re: [U2] SAVE-LIST [FILENAME] LISTNAME > > > Oops, my bad.

Re: [U2] SAVE-LIST [FILENAME] LISTNAME
Why not just do your FORM.LIST and then WRITE the resulting array to your file of choice? Otherwise, I am pretty sure the COPY.LIST command works (on Unidata at least).

Re: [U2] SAVE-LIST [FILENAME] LISTNAME
Outside the U2 world (mvBase, Reality) you can just COPY-LIST xyz (fname item I'd be surprised if that didn't work in U2 as well.

Re: [U2] SAVE-LIST [FILENAME] LISTNAME
SoIs there a reverse of FORM.LIST? that is take a LIST and write it as an item to a file? This is UV 10.0.3 Hi George. If you "SAVE.LIST filename listname" then that will save the list anywhere you like. The filename has to be a type 1 or type 19 file though.

Re: [U2] SAVE-LIST [FILENAME] LISTNAME
Cute. Just think what would have happened, if you had named your list "DATA.30" ! I can't think of a way to SAVE.LIST to a hashed file, other than 2 step: SAVE.LIST XYZ COPYI FROM &SAVEDLISTS& TO [hashed file] "XYZ" OVERWRITING DELETING HUSH Going the other direction, there are 2 ways, QSELECT as well as FORM.LIST. (Pick & Prime heritage.) Btw, iirc, fwiw, I *think* maybe PIOPEN flavour does SAVE.LIST differently, too. SAVE.LIST ABC XYZ deposits XYZ in uv account ABC's &SAVEDLISTS& - maybe. cds George Gallen wrote: This drove me nutsI would save it into a file, thinking it was the reverse of FORM.LIST, didn't give me any errors, but it never showed up in the file.
