Note there was, although I have not checked recently an Arev conversion
utility on the UniVerse installation disks.

I have a conversion list from German to UV, which I use in my VB-
Programms.
Idon't think this list will help you, because the German letter | (an u with
double-point on top) is ASCII 252 and the VM-mark is 178 on my
German VB system.
The easiest way to find such a list is to write a file with

I've never used this syntax but according to the manual
if the send expression begins with F then return all characters from the
starting position until the 2nd character of the F expression is found
example
REC = 'ABCDEF,HIJK'
A=TRIM(REC[1,'F,'])
A would equal ABCDEF (i.e. until the comma)
Here is the fastest way I have found to eliminate "bad chars" in
"string"
bad.chars = ""
for n = 1 to 31
bad.chars := char(n)
next n
for n = 128 to 250
bad.chars := char(n)
next n
convert bad.chars to "" in string

Can the "FILE.USAGE" command be used with secondary indexes?
I'm trying to determine how much total disk i/o is reduced when a
secondary index is added. I can't find any tools to show activity on the

I dont believe there really is one. Also it really depends on which revision
level of arev you are running.
is there any syntax/statement/function in particular you need

Bill,
If all you are trying to do is return a multi-valued "1" or "0" string for a
multi-valued list of id's, you can use this in field 2 of your I-descriptor:
0002: CATS(REUSE(@ID:"*"), @RECORD<35>) ; TRANS("ARTLEDGER", @1, 0, "X") ;
NES(@2, REUSE(""))
Note that @RECORD<35> can be replaced with
One thing to be careful of that we ran into is control characters in the
Key (@ID). If your application wrote out a record with say an ESC in the
key, and it also wrote that key as a field value in another record in a
different file, fixing just the data portion will put your records out of
sync.
I recall occasions where I had to issue the ENABLE.INDEX command in
order to kick start the automatic indexing process. Sometimes I had
to issue it more than once. I know not what caused the problem or
what I was doing wrong.

Converting the control characters like that can be dangerous. I run a
program to create a list of those with control characters and then use the
editor. The control characters are generally part of control strings,

If there are quite a few records but only a few possible characters

After seeing Ray W's response, I think I misread your purpose. What I

The formatting got screwed up on the email. Be gracious & let me blame
it on that.
I'll second Ray's answer instead.

Try using OCONVS (with an S) instead of OCONV.
The problem has nothing to do with I-descriptors.
OCONV treats the 1st argument as a string.
