Technically, no. D3 does not support PQN in the truest sense of the "N".
PQN came out in 1979 as an enhanced version of Proc from Microdata, hence the N as New. PQ and PQN procs could not participate in the () program transfer. You had to get tricky instantiating a contrary proc from the source proc's style by treating it as a verb instead of a proc transfer. There are real specific differences between PQN and PQ proc the likes that most MV people have not been exposed to. I've only seen Microdata-level proc on UD or UV as microdata flavor. Perhaps there's more, but not likely. The 'features' in PQN proc that make it different than PQ are in a few categories. The most obvious is the MV (move) command, the readnext concept and the file handling commands. MV %1 "MARK" MV #5 "MARK" MV &1.5 "MARK","RANDY","BOB" MV %1 !1 PQ-SELECT 1 F-OPEN, F-READ, F-CLOSE Plus there was GO F and GO B for localized unlabeled labels. Everyone else focused on EXECUTE/PERFORM while MCD developed the PQN to handle some of these advanced features. Now, writing procs is a lost art. my 1 cent. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Glenn Herbert" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, May 07, 2004 10:02 AM Subject: Re: [U2] D3 Master Dictionary > The question is: Does D3 support PQN??? > > At 09:45 AM 5/7/2004, you wrote: > >MD = VOC > > > >If I type LIST VOC = "CUST" in UV 10.1 and LIST MD = "CUST" > >in D3 7.2 I get the exact same output which is the name and type of > >the file.
