  • 1.  Unidata - using Phrases

    Posted 09-01-2021 16:10
    Phrases like @UQ and @LPTR are great but is there any version of Unidata where one can build a phrase and use it as if it were a field?  For example, if I had a phrase like this:

    001 PH
    002 WITH SUCCESS = "0" NAME AMOUNT

    And I called it BAD, could I say: LIST filename BAD ​and have it expand the phrase where the phrase name is?

    Hi Kevin,

    Sorry, if I don't understand your question fully. I know you are well versed in MV and I just want to make sure I understand what you are asking.

    In Universe, I can create a custom Phrase record named "BAD" in the VOC to be used with different UV files. My code is below. Hopefully, its formatted ok to read. Are you looking for something more?


    >LIST DICT MYFILE
    DICT MYFILE    22:14:19  09-04-21  Page 1
    
                   Type &

    Name.......... Number Definition... Code........ Heading........ Format Assoc..
    
    @ID            D    0                            MYFILE          10L    S
    NAME           D    1                            NAME            20L    S
    AMOUNT         D    2               MD2Z,        AMOUNT          10R    S
    SUCCESS        D    3               MD0          SUCCESS         1R     S
    @              PH     NAME AMOUNT
                          SUCCESS

    Kevin,

    Are you having an issue with a Phrase?

    The phrase will be expanded. 


    For example, I know some of UniData partners use a phrase to only display the source code from their BP files.
    :CT DICT PBP @SOURCE
    PBP:

    @SOURCE:
    PH
    WITH @ID UNLIKE "_..."

    LIST PBP WITH @ID UNLIKE "_..." 06:48:01 Sep 07 2021 1
    ID............................

    FINDWAREHOUSE_PYFUNC
    GET_MEMBERS_RECORD
    LARGENUM_TEST
    SENDALERT_PYFUNC
    USE_PYTHON_DICT
    5 records listed

    Figured out the issue.  The expansion doesn't work in ECLTYPE P but it does in ECLTYPE U.  Thanks for the help!
