The same programmer that doesn't read the manual does an....
EXECUTE instead of a SELECTINDEX, and yes, the index already existed....
or
A=STR('0',20-LEN(B)):B
instead of
A=FMT(B,'L%20') or for the Universe Pick/Ideal flavor people in the
crowd A= B'L%20'
or
TODAY=OCONV(DATE(),'D2/')
CONVERT '/' TO @VM IN TODAY
MONTH=TODAY<1,2>
instead of
MONTH=OCONV(DATE(),'DM')
----
And yes, I have observed all of the above recently.
;) Just 15 minutes a week to look through the current manuals to find
out about a new option that you might not know existed?

To All:
Was there ever a real requirement on any prior flavor to have the
typically
non-used DICT portion of the OPEN statement be the set of quotes and a
comma.
I accidentally forgot it in 1978 on a Microdata and it still compiled. To
this
day I have not seen a reason for the OPEN "","FILE" null dict indicator
and
have not used it since unless I actually want the DICT level.
Just wondering.
Thanks
