Then the parent can list values from the child with an itype like: I SUBR('*GETINDEXVALUES', childfilename, nameofindex, &lt; at &gt;ID (parent id) ); TRANS( childfilename, childfilefield, &lt; at &gt;, 'X') conversion display name format M * must be "M' The advantage of using a field and an index in the child file is that there is always a way to "resync" the data if there is a problem; just rebuild the index. The subroutine should use named common to hold on to the values of &lt; at &gt;time and other arguments to buffer the result, since you do not want the returned list to change if you are evaluating two+ columns child columns in a single report. Also, be sure that the list returned from the subroutine conta</pre> Rick Nuckolls 2013-06-17T17:55:02 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.db.u2.general/69894 <pre>I didn't think you could set up a foreign key dependency in UV? The only thing I can think of would be to setup a trigger on the parent file, That computes the ID that will be used in the child file and if it doesn't exist Create in the child file. This way, the parent file will push the &lt; at &gt;ID into the child file, whereas if you Want to pull the &lt; at &gt;ID from the parent file, maybe setup a PHANTOM that runs every Minute or so, but that won't guarantee that a record could be added to the parent File while the PHANTOM is sleeping between runs.

I'm looking at the may/jun 2001 issue of Spectrum. Full page ad on page 3, a company named infinetivity that was selling a number of products including pick fusion "web integration for pick". They also had a web hosting service. They mention a lot of urls: pickauthority.com pickfusion.com pick2oracle.com pickdevelopment.com pickwebhosting.com pickapplications.com pickstudio.com pickveteran.com pickmaestro.com pickgod.com and www.infinetivity.com and a phone number 1-800-555-6442 (a 555 number? hmmm). Some of the urls have been interestingly re-used. None of them point to anything multivalue-related. I'm pretty sure I downloaded their free evaluation version at one point.

They mentioned at U2 University that they would be releasing their tools on a monthly basis. For about 6 months the only release of their competing product was a version number update. That confirmed to us that monthly releases are a tough nut to crack. You must be disciplined in what you can finish in 3 to 4 weeks and get the software out the door. We are glad to report that U2logic has been doing that for many many years now. We have just added features like "Before Read Call" so that you can call any program before the read.

Unless you're talking the components that were in BASIC, because Unix systems ran on a lot of different CPUs. But it could well have been "just a recompile".

There are several challenges. First, how to represent the business rules so that they are clearly communicated to and through non-technical personnel. Second, to ensure that the human readable business rules are stated in such a way as to remain materially compliant to what the code is actually doing without handicapping either. Often times the most efficient way to handle something isn't exactly the most easily translated into human readable terms; an insertion sort for example. That technique in particular also could be grouped into a discussion of practical granularity. Then there's the whole issue of compliance to the standard by a team of developers, as well as compliance to the conceptual issues by the team of non-technical people, and the bridge that must necessarily be in place between the two camps to make it all work out.

I worked for Prime and was seconded to represent sales to the project in Milton Keynes that delivered PI/open. In fact I was part of the group that decided on the name and still have some of the original marketing collateral in a box somewhere. As far as I can remember due to the implementation Martin outlined the run time code could be moved between Unix systems without recompiling. But I am sure Martin will be able to remember and correct me if I am wrong. Assuming we are talking about a UK VAR in South London for the EXL 7330's etc I was probably involved as well. Small world. And yes I then moved to VMark as they acquired Prime Information. It took them years to assimilate PI in to Universe, but that's another story!!
