The "buffer stuff" is exactly where the confusion for non-"proc'"-ies
happens. I had to figure out that a proc was counting down the number of
times it was executing a section of commands to perform copies of reports.

Well, anything you can do in Uniquery can be used in a proc, and they do
have the online Uniquery documentation. I have not really seen any 'proc'
language per se as there really isn't one. i.e., there are no commands that
only work in a proc *that I'm aware of*.
None of that buffer stuff, etc. Just do the things in the exact same order
that you would do it at Uniquery and it just works like magic. I was
actually quite happy when M2K went from Microdata to Unidata, as I got to
'forget' all the proc commands as they were no longer necessary.
However, I've dealt almost exclusively with Manage-2000 so there could be
other stuff that others are using that I'm unaware of.
hth!

I've never seen one. I came from a Prime environment to UniData and, of
course, didn't have a clue how to interpret all the procs. I finally
found the MicroData manuals from before the company's conversion to
UniData and used those. Based on my experience, I'd guess that proc
manuals for other environments would generally work. The trick, of
course, is knowing when a command or syntax is different or has
different results between UniData and the manual you have at hand.
I worked on building mechanisms that allowed me to use paragraphs and
other documented procedures in a proc environment. Seemed to work.
Always thought that as procs are a (semi)supported environment that
UniData could have a manual that would allow a person to understand
procs.

Has anyone ever seen a unidata proc manual? I can't find any reference,
other than some information on user exits
