Mark, I'm one of those programmers who use the "overly grand" way of spacing you describe. I believe that ASDTFY = '' AS = '' DRT = 0 is much more readable than ASDTFY='' AS='' DRT=0 especially when there is a lot more code than in this example, and everything else around it is crammed together as tightly as it can be as well. Code is written for the human as much as the compiler, and I like it to be as easy to read (and spot errors) as possible. This spacing won't bother a find program if you wrote it or have the source, and teach it better. My 4 cents. Regards, Charlie Noah [EMAIL PROTECTED] (mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]) writes:
[snip] P.S. If you use my concept, you may want to have your search strings contain no spaces and convert to "" the spaces in each reviewed line. There is a overly grand way people program with spaces between operators and even though the complier doesn't care, FIND programs or the editor will miss them if they don't match exactly. My 3 cents. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Barry Brevik" [EMAIL PROTECTED] (mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]) > >I have always used "R%5" but I may miss programs > >that use other techniques to arrive at the same result. > >Can someone give me examples that they have seen for changing 1 to 00001? > > I don't want to start a religious war, but I think it is completely normal > to use: > > NBR = NBR "5'0'R" > > or > > NBR = NBR"5'0'R" > > Barry > ------- ------- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/
