Horses to courses really. I like the flexibility to be able to specify where my "AAA" reside in a string. Copy and the editor are very Prime INFORMATION like which as everyone knows was the best Pick like system :).
The information about file types is on page 6-35 of the Universe 10.1 system description manual (sysdesc.pdf). Adrian -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of David Wolverton Sent: 24 August 2004 17:02 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [U2] [UV] File Types... I'm now working some with UniVerse - the mystical side of the U2 family... I never knew how easy we have it in UniData!! I can say SELECT FILE WITH A = "[AAA]" and will find AAA whether at the start, middle or end... That LIKE "...AAA..." won't do the same - you have to have 3 LIKES to (AAA..., ...AAA..., ...AAA) to do the same it appears... COPY is really wicked - and don't start me on the editor - at least this version of UV has a beta AE, otherwise I'd be seriously lost!! But that's not what I'm here for.... I've just gone through two different UV documents - both of which tell me I need to choose a type from 2 to 18 for a Hashed File, but neither tells me WHAT 2 through 18 do or why I need to choose one or the other of those 17 types... I need to create a small (5 record) code file -- each record will be 50 bytes max. It doesn't really matter what type I choose, really, but I thought this would be a good time to learn the UV 'File Types' - but I can't find where they are documented!! Been through: Administering UniVerse, Version 10.1 (G251-1905-00) UniVerse System Description V 10.1 (G251-1927-00) These are some seriously big books to never even touch what the different types do or mean!! Thanks for any pointers to the right docs - I hate spending 5 minutes downloading a doc, scouring it and then finding nothing!
