Some versions of BASIC have POP whereby one return address is removed from
the stack. Sort of like a RERETURN. Glad we don't have that one.

I've actually run into a program with 10 READV's, some processing then 10
WRITEV's for the obvious same record in the same file.
Is the OCONV(translate) function any more or less effecient in BASIC than in
English (sic). I use them for simple validation or to retrieve one field
with no side effect

Why do you believe doing this (Logto followed by LIST VOC...) would
work ( I don't think it will)? I think you might have misunderstood
what I meant by "exiting the account" - that would be using QUIT. I
guess I should have been more clear by saying "quitting universe".

Never seen a single burp in sorting ever. If you just eliminate the DET.SUP
you'll see the detail, and can then compare to the DET.SUP errors to confirm
if the sorting is wrong, or if maybe it just doesn't work.
You could always fall back and punt by completing the messing sections of
the program
Hey Keith,
That's a really great idea, but why not just add it to the LOGIN paragraph?

Does the D_sysobjects file exist and does your ID have permissions to

Nope... no dictionaries, no files, no VOC pointers for the sys* files. I'm
under the impression that VSG is supposed to create them. Is that not true?

hmm. The fact that the files are cached makes it nicer.
I didn't want to use it inside a loop (TRANS() that is), and waste
a lot of time with repeated OPEN/READs, in that case I'd have done
an OPEN, then used READS.
But if the OPEN is cached, great, it's just like doing the OPEN once.

Is there some magic piece I'm missing?

You are 100% correct and this is a known issue (to me anyways). The
cache is only flushed when exiting the account or when you return back
to TCL. Unfortunately, there is no direct way to call the internal
transclear() function.

I'll second that sentiment. At first I liked the idea of the RETURN TO
and used it. I got bit bad by the fact that this routine was called
from another routine, which means that RETURNing TO the mainline left a
return jump address on the stack ... which meant that the mainline

I'm afraid I've had no luck getting the customer (who has the printer) to

This works for me. I believe I tried to issue this on the command line,

What Im doing is compiling the whole account (1000+ programs) and it
