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 wit

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

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 U

UniVerse Dynamic files do NOT resize every time they split. They only "resize" a single group at each split. The next group to split is allocated on a round robin basis from group number 1 up to the group number that is the highest power of 2 less than or equal to the current modulus. So, for
