RE: Re: GCIC Fullscreen applications

HI all
 
Todays update
 
Sort is moot
I added the two routines to the FLIST screens for the sort
 
Comands are  SN and SD on the flist screen
 
SD sorts by date in descending order
SN sorts by name in ascending order
 
Both routines together are 80 lines of code and comments - Comments are
about a third of that.
 
And 15 lines of  whats left  is determining exactly where the date is on the
line.
 
I am using two different OS's and the LISTF  output is slightly diferent and
the date appears in different positions
So I scanned the first line for /xx/xx/ to find the positions of the date on
the line
Extra 15 lines of code ---- 
 
Gawd the time we wasted dicussing this.
whole thing took less than 2 hrs. Including testing and implementation on
the server.
 
At the ame time I fixed the same 24 line terminal error on the FLIST and
Browse screens that we found in edit
Also fixed the positiong of the screen after insert again - wasn;t happy
with what I did last week
 
Let me know - [] should work as well as all the other special characters. If
anything is missing let me know

Paul -

How is the sort function supposed to work in a multi tasking envrionment, if
it cant be *arbitrarily* reentrant?

I admitted that *what* is not doable?

Forcing an arbitrary C program to be reentrant?

Yes, quibbling aside, that isn't possible.

But in the environment he is thinking of using it in, he doesn't need it to
be an arbitrary C program. He can write his C code so that it's naturally
reentrant, and doesn't use library functions, except perhaps the ones that
are able to be made available in a non-hosted environment.
