  • mvBase-User Exit Question

    From merryplayer@21:1/5 to All on Fri Mar 4 07:20:31 2016
    You can always EXECUTE a "DUMP ":framenumber capture the output, and turn it into a record - it is then , in your variable - using DB, and not PROC which could take more time to program.
    Check for the EOItem markers and it's all yours. (SEQ command with 254, etc) Use various DUMP modifiers to get the complete record if your item is more than 2048, or whatever your frame size is.
    Simply, YES, but beware using UEs, Re-usable code by the next developer who comes along is better. Although I do use many UEs myself, quite regularly, but only because my fingers do the work before I've used my brain to tell them - use the equivalent?

    Long Live mvBase

    Can anyone answer if there a user exit that reads a frame directly into
    a variable on mvBase?

    I second the idea of using DUMP but you should be careful to use the Hex option as a strict DUMP can return FF's and other items which will badly affect your BASIC variable.
