Another response from U2 Lab Services... You could use the BASIC programs in UniVerse to make files in loadfile format from the UniData files, and simply use loadfile in the uv/bin directory to populate the UniVerse files with the data.
If UV and UD are on the same machines, the BASIC program could write to a named pipe on the UD side and direct loadfile to read its input from the named pipe. Then you do not need disk space for an additional interim copy of the data. Happy Hot Summer, everyone! Can you barbecue? Steve Stephen M.

They are willing to discuss this with you as a billable engagement. FYI, if this had been the inverse .. migrating a UV account to UniData, it would have been no problem, as UniData comes bundled with a command called "UV_RESTORE", which takes a uvbackup sourced account and restores and converts it to UniData file formats. So perhaps there is another way to skin this cat. Is there a way to read/write to UDT files directly from UV? Any and all off-the-wall, out-of-the-box, out-of-left-field, {insert your favorite left-brained-business-creativity-MBA cliche here} suggestions welcome. /Scott Ballinger Pareto Corporation Edmonds WA USA 206 713 6006 On 7/23/07, Scott Ballinger <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I have a Unidata demo on my pc that I installed along the the PE version > of Unidata.
