RE: Subroutine string manipulation not doing what expected
Also - I don't see the 'DISPLAY' as part of this code snip -- the reason I ask - if the output is bring displayed later in the program, could something else be happening later in the program than this snip that also looks at the ROLLSTOCK and also parses it in some way? -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, April 07, 2004 9:23 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Subroutine string manipulation not doing what expected Given the following snippet of code: FOR PLC = 1 TO PART.LIST.COUNT SEARCH.VALUE = DESC.LISTPLC RETURN.VALUE := SEARCH.VALUE : @VM NEXT PLC ROLLSTOCK=RETURN.VALUE I get the following output: P337 P RPVC 0200x20.00 TNT201 P BOX 19:08 15:08 13:08 BX PLAC 20:08 15:08 11:14 However, a simple change to the code to only add a few digits of DESC.LISTPLC like so: FOR PLC = 1 TO PART.LIST.COUNT SEARCH.VALUE = DESC.LISTPLC IF SEARCH.VALUE[1,1]='*' THEN SEARCH.VALUE = SEARCH.VALUE[4,4] END ELSE SEARCH.VALUE = SEARCH.VALUE[3,4] END RETURN.VALUE := SEARCH.VALUE : @VM NEXT PLC ROLLSTOCK=RETURN.VALUE I get the following outupt...not what I was expecting: 37 P My intention is to grab 4 characters out of DESC.LISTPLC, starting at character 4 if the string starts with an asterix or 3 if it doesn't.

RE: The lists are closing
LOL - Ron - where were you while they were BEGGING for people to become members and attend conference call meetings to decide how to set up the user's group and forum area? It was MONTHS ago that they asked for input, but probably got just enough to realize they'd have to wing it... And in reality, for a totally NON-funded, volunteer effort, all I can say is **WOW**... GOOD JOB!! I look at it like this: If you had to do it yourself, honestly, could you have done a better, more professional job? And if so, why didn't you volunteer to assist?!? They would have LOVED to have more help I'm sure!! Be glad people who are willing to do labors of love are here, and willing to share... I look forward to the group pushing forward - perhaps the forum software in use will have to ability to support email posts, but then again, that's when the spam messages start hitting! g Clif - thanks for the work over the ages - This email forum has been one of my 'must do' areas - just to stay abreast of where people are taking the software - even places IBM and others probably never imagined - the resources have been incredible... David W. snip If this statement is true it sounds like someone wasn't listening or asking the users if they were even interested in this forum idea. It seems to have been done without the input of the very people it is supposed to serve. For the record, I have unlimited internet access both at work and at home but I think the forum idea sucks. I want my list info via email so I can filter it and read it offline at a time that is convenient for me and my employer. I have subscribed to U2UG but I don't expect to spend much time there.

RE: The lists are closing
Good point!! I currently sit on a Volunteer Board (Treasurer no less) - and as anyone who does this will likely attest - there is nothing like working on a volunteer Board to make you fear for (or despise g) humanity in general! The number of after-the fact non-volunteers pointing out what we *should* have done is always staggering... But I'm sure my turn will come for service to the U2 community... Until then, let me tell you what you *should* have done... g DW snippers Don't put 'volunteer' in the past tense. We will be looking for SIG leaders soon, we will be looking for forum moderators soon, and we will be transitioning to an elected board. There's always work for more hands in an organization of this type. If IBM keeps growing the U2 market (and it seems to be growing as we speak) then there will only be more need in the future, not less. - Charles I Volunteered Barouch snip snip -- u2-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.oliver.com/mailman/listinfo/u2-users
RE: The lists are closing
I have a simple-minded idea that may increase the value of the U2UG website and prevent us from loosing the huge amount of already accumulated knowledge that resides in this list. Would it be possible to transfer the posts to the list tothe website? I know that there may be some legal wrangling and space considerations to deal with but I for one wouldhate to loose the knowledge that has been generated by this list. Glad you asked that - I was thinking the same thing - or wondering where the archives would be held! -- u2-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.oliver.com/mailman/listinfo/u2-users
RE: SB error
This would tell me that you have two programs running: Session 1 locks Record A Session 2 locks Record B Session 1 WANTS to lock Record B, and holds, awaiting the lock release Session 2 NOW Wants to lock Record A - if this happens, DEADLOCKS occurs - neither program will ever be able to progress. The system detects this, and kills Session 2 'for the good of all' - used to be 'in the old days' you'd just have two sessions sitting there forever Your best way to prevent Deadlocks is to ensure programs ALL lock files in the same order. In this example, Session 1's program locked A then B, while Session 2's propgram locked B, then A. That's a deadlock waiting to happen. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of kafsat taiyus Sent: Monday, March 29, 2004 12:26 AM To: 'U2 Users Discussion List' Subject: SB error Hi, In a Unidata 5.2 SB+ plus environment running on Tru64 UNIX we are occasionally receiving following error.

RE: [ADMIN] The aforementioned and promised NAG about OVERQUOTING
I have to say, I just loaded Outlook 2003, and sort EVERYTHING by conversation... I'm kinda sorry people are now making efforts to complying with 'netiquette', because 'top posts' are SO much easier to use in this venue - it is awesome to be able to run through the whole set of topics in the preview pane without having to so much as scroll I suspect we'll see Netiquette change over time for this reason - as posts become more 'real time' and interactive, it would make sense the rules would evolve as well... More and more we're *not* typically reading a response a week later or out of context - the world is changing!
