Hi
I did years on Ultimate, then D3, now I'm back into it with Universe
10.2
I have a little tool which looks at and into files that I'm porting
from D3.
One of the many issues is display of modulo, sep and overflow % if
hashed
but that data is not in the Universe VOC, just STAT.FILE and in the
main production accounts
it seems that ACCOUNT.FILE.STATS is broken (not my job to fix).
Is there an easy way to determine at least the file type?

Try FILE.STAT

No, that doesn't tell you which non-hashed type a file may be:-


and gives too much information on hashed types,
taking far too long on large files.

However,

EXECUTE 'FILE.STAT ':FNME CAPTURING STS
IF STS[1,7] = 'Cannot ' THEN
CRT 'This is a non-hashed,':STS[15,LEN(STS)-15]
END ELSE
FOR L = 1 TO DCOUNT(STS,CHAR(254))
CRT STS<L>
NEXT L
END

is a good start, thanks!.

There is a BASIC function FILEINFO()
You can also use the STATUS statement. They give a mix of the same
and different information.

There are programs to make these available as TCL commands in Pickwiki
