Knowing how many arguments a subroutine is expecting is a good way to check/confirm that the call you are about to make isn't going to blow up in your face!

That is, why was this particular fact chosen as the returned status code ? -----Original Message----- From: Keith Johnson [DATACOM] <keith.john...@datacom.co.nz> To: 'u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org' <u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org> Sent: Tue, Jan 28, 2014 3:10 pm Subject: Re: [U2] [UV] Programmatic Verification of Globally Cataloged Subroutine Hi, LeRoy Dreyfuss said that you would have to change 52 to 12 for EXIST to work. The globally cataloged programs have an extra 40 characters put on the front, so that would cause a problem. @RECORD[1,4] is a count of the number of times the program has been used. @RECORD[5,8] is who cataloged it @RECORD[13,4] are the date and time (I think) Regards, Keith _______________________________________________ U2-Users mailing list U2-Users@listserver.u2ug.org http://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users _______________________________________________ U2-Users mailing list U2-Users@listserver.u2ug.org http://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users _______________________________________________ U2-Users mailing list U2-Users@listserver.u2ug.org http://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users
