Subfile Enhancement

[Robert Mills]

Ken said, "Any chance we can see this "list" once it is finalized????",
to which I agree.
 
In the past the HP MPE Lab send a post to the HP3000 List asking members
to send in requests to be added to the next System Improvement Ballot
(SIB). The requests were then evaluated for the amount of effort
required to implement (if they could be done at all) and then the SIB
would be published. Each member of the list was given 10 votes that they
could allocate to entries on the SIB. The lab then sorted the SIB into
'highest votes first' sequence. Starting at the top of the list, the
amount of effort for each entry was accumulated until the total had
reached the amount of effort that they had allocated to the SIB. These
selected entries were then investigated in greater depth and those that
passed would be worked on for inclusion in the next release of the
operating system or as a patch.
 
The only question now is whether Cognos (Bob Deskin) would go along with
that.

I think you should allow the DESCRIPTION option on any subfile
regardless of NODICT or not for documentation purposes. Even though it
will not appear in the subfile, it is still useful.
 
Any chance we can see this "list" once it is finalized????

Interesting. I've never seen this one before. I don't think we would
allow the description if it's a NODICT subfile but the dictionary
certainly has a DESCRIPTION option on the FILE and RECORD statements. I
don't know how difficult it would be to add to the subfile equivalents
and the routines. I'll add it to the list.
 
Thanks
 
Bob

	Bob,
	 
	Continuing with your original request for enhancement requests;
	 
	Add a DESCRIPTION option to the SUBFILE statement within QUIZ
and QTP that could be read by QSHOW.
	 
	Where would you store the information? If it has a dictionary,
within the minidictionary file. If it doesn't, at the start of the file
with a leading integer value that points to the actual start of data OR
do not allow this option.
