Re: [U2] OPEN Statement DICT Default
You mean sthg like:
FOR I=31 TO 365 STEP 28
PRINT (I,'DMAL')[1,3]
NEXT I
Tried 'DMBL' but the abbreviations were only two characters.
But printing the actual string is somewhat shorter ...

Re: [U2] OPEN Statement DICT Default
My Bad, I meant [1,2], not the year part. Actually the [1,2] works for both hemispheres if the SET-DATE command is set to either US or European. Thus [1,2] or DM grabs the month and [4,2] or DD grabs the day.

RE: [U2] OPEN Statement DICT Default
Early versions of Reality did require it, including PC-MicroReality. -Kevin [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.PrecisOnline.com -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mark Johnson Sent: Friday, May 05, 2006 10:37 PM To: u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org Subject: [U2] OPEN Statement DICT Default To All: Was there ever a real requirement on any prior flavor to have the typically non-used DICT portion of the OPEN statement be the set of quotes and a comma. I accidentally forgot it in 1978 on a Microdata and it still compiled. To this day I have not seen a reason for the OPEN ,FILE null dict indicator and have not used it since unless I actually want the DICT level. Just wondering.

Re: [U2] OPEN Statement DICT Default
I've never used the null dict indicator. Who ever reads the syntax book unless a command doesn't work? *:)* -- Louie Bergsagel On 5/5/06, Mark Johnson [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: To All: Was there ever a real requirement on any prior flavor to have the typically non-used DICT portion of the OPEN statement be the set of quotes and a comma.
