Hi Charles, Can't comment on Unidata but have done this in Universe and had to jump through some hoops which may assist: 1. Try setting your terminal type to Dumb so that you don't get escape sequences. 2. Watch out for form feeds and the like that get added anyway (post 10.1.18) HTH Brett

Hi Try using the TO option if that is supported on your release (part of that piecemeal way in which the XML stuff was released). That creates a record in XML somename.xml. You can also create a schema to go with it: SELECT * FROM BOOK_TITLES TOXML TO 'titles' WITHSCHEMA; Not sure whether

Given my age, I've used many manual sort methods (including bubble) years and years ago. Ever since I could LOCATE with the optional sorting parameter, I've never put a bubble sort in MV programs. VB and QB yes. MV, No. My 2 cents. Mark Johnson - Original Message - From: DAVID WADEMAN

This is a little catch-22. Years ago, there was a limit on the number of 'variables' a program had. This, since each element in a DIM array is a variable, you could not DIM REC(10). Thus legacy code may have been forced to use dynamic arrays on large items. Nowadays, we may not be held to any

2008-07-25 Thread MAJ Programming
I don't think that the sort/extract function alone is justification for choosing dim arrays over dynamic arrays in programs. Sure, for large array concepts/projects, DIM will prevail. But IMHO, for data READ/WRITE, dynamic appears just as fast as DIM. Maybe this doesn't apply to large systems
