Thank-you, Tom. I was hoping someone would be kind enough to speak up about Unidata. Does UD (as does UV) support these alternate syntaxes?:
[]-Syntax............. Alternate............................ Y = X[c,m,n] Y = FIELD( X, c,n,m ) X[c,m,n] = substring X = FIELDSTORE( X, c,m,n, substring ) (and, while we're at it:) Y = X[n] Y = RIGHT( X, n ) Y = X[1,n] Y = LEFT( X, n ) functionbally equivalent __________________ Notice how UV's VLIST shows these compilations. They all compile exactly the same except the last one: Y = X[c,m,n] 00024 : 084 field X c m n => Y Y = FIELD( X, c,m,n ) 00030 : 084 field X c m n => Y X[c,m,n] = substring 0003C : 086 fieldstore X c m n substring => X X = FIELDSTORE(X,c,m,n,substring) 0004A : 086 fieldstore X c m n substring => X Y = X[n] 00058 : 164 right X n => Y Y = RIGHT( X, n ) 00060 : 164 right X n => Y Y = X[1,n] 00068 : 0F0 mid X 1 n => Y Y = LEFT( X, n ) 00072 : 286 left X n => Y _________________ cds ------- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/
