Use BSCAN command. instead of SELECTINDEX.
SELECTINDEX gets exact matches, whereas BSCAN gets you to a starting
point , then you go forward from there. You'd BSCAN for MACKE, then
loop with additional BSCANs until you are past what you care about.
Or execute a SELECT statement:

Why not, during program init, build the undesired char list once, then
call CONVERT only once instead of hundreds of times each time
THIS.MESSAGE needs adjusting?
UNDESIRABLES = CHAR(127)
FOR CHARACTER = 128 TO 249
UNDESIRABLES:= CHAR(CHARACTER)
NEXT CHARACTER
or for better perf
To be rigorous, per Wol's final sentence, if any legitimate LF
(char(10)) or CR (char(13)) occurred in the INPUTVAR string outside
the CRLF pair, they too would be stripped out by
CONVERT CHAR(10):CHAR(13) TO '' IN INPUTVAR.
or the equivalent
INPUTVAR = CONVERT( CHAR(10):CHAR(13),
UV's CHANGE or EREPLACE are synonyms:
EREPLACE(expression, substring, replacement [,occurrence [,begin] ] )
CHANGE (expression, substring, replacement [,occurrence [,begin] ] )
which pretty much mimic ED's "C"hange command or Pick Editor's "R"eplace.
UV's SWAP is different:

OBTW, on UniVerse both concatenations:
"D2YMD":@VM:"MCN"
are done at compile-time because all elements are constant strings.
(@VM isn't really a variable, more like an EQUate.)
So if you stick Martin's construct inside a loop, there no added burden.

Yes. Many people don't know you can stack conversion codes, separated
by value marks (like in Pick dict <8> correlatives).
But in this instance the DYMD[2'',2'',2] conversion discussed elsewhere
in the thread has the advantage of being able to be used in ICONV, too,
to get from YYMMDD to a
ICONV works, too!
ICONV( "120425", "DYMD[2'',2'']" ) --> "16187"
OCONV( "16187", "DYMD[2'',2'']" ) --> "120425"
If you ICONV an invalid date, e.g. April 34th:
ICONV( "120434", "DYMD[2'',2'']" ) --> "" and STATUS()=1
I believe mathemeticians would call those "inverse" transforma
On my UV10.2.10 it behaves properly only with [2'',2''], as Richard &

OCONV( "16187", "DYMD['','']" ) = "2012425"
OCONV( "16187", "DYMD[2'',2'']" ) = "120425"
Like Rick, I find flavor does not matter.

If these are long lists, it may be best to save the list with its
duplicates, shell out and execute unix command sort -u on the saved lists.
No database i/o.
Unless UD has some feature beyond UV's at this particular point.
Note that sort -u output is sorted, but not necessarily by the same

One way around the UPDATE.ACCOUNT problem that Brian mentions is to
invent your own flavour (Your own sub-file under the Pick-style
multi-level file under UV/NEWACC).
Massage that once per UV upgrade, then apply it to all VOCs that need
protecting or customizing.
Personally, I wish it was muc
Nicholas (& any newbies listening in),
Just to make sure all bases are covered:
1. LIST.READU's "EVERY" keyword.
Besides showing group locks, it will also, at the very end, show who is
waiting on a lock.
If there are 2 lines where waiter & lock-holder are reversed on the 2nd

Better yet, write an i-descriptor-friendly function to extract STATUS &

Here's a short LIST.READU envelope that replaces dev/inode with filenames.
Look up these UV-supplied tools that tie device & Inode to the filename:
ACCOUNT.FILE.STATS
LIST.FILE.STATS
STAT.FILE
UNIVERSE.STAT.FILE
It relies on regularly running ACCOUNT.FILE.STATS to keep STAT.
