QUIZ maximum record length confined by maximum poage width

[Joe Boyle]

Just one more point, in quiz you can say 'report summary all' which means
that you do not need to list all record items here either.

I don't remember if Quiz has a fixed limit on subfiles, but I use Qtp
primarily because of convenience.  Especially if I'm doing a conversion,
where I have to dump an entire file, why would I use Quiz where I have to
list EVERY field in a long file description, when in Qtp I can just say
"include file"?!  

Thanks,
	Guy (the lazy one)

I can only assume that those that have replied and suggest that you must use
QTP, are all either, a) using an ancient version of PH, or else b) this is
one of the HP3000 anomalies :-)

Surely, setting the page width is for use with writing report files and has
little to do with subfiles - e.g. Question 1. what is the page width of a
subfile ?

I have worked on VMS, Unix and NT mainly, so it could be an MPE thing :-)

If you are using quiz to export data, don't forget to
set the page length to 0, otherwise quiz will add a
few form feeds in for you as well.

If you can keep the record width under 255, here is
what I use.

  SET REPORT DEVICE DISC &
             NOLIMIT &
             SPACING 1 &
             NAME filename &
        PAGE WIDTH 255 &
             LENGTH 0 &
      NOHEAD &
      NOBLANKS

If you can't keep it under 255, use QTP and a portable
subfile. Specifying the NODICTIONARY option makes it a
true data file....but remember to either fix the
fields or delimit them using something like a pipe
"|". I have found it doesn't usually appear in anyones
data.
