Hi frosty

In the past with Pick / D3 I did something i called Complementary Mapping and made a data field which I refreshed on every DB-write.

Now we are running UV, i don't know if reverse-Index is possible there but I kept it like it was and it works until today...

Example 12345 is changed to 87654 and Hallo is changed to Svool in a extra field and written this was to the Data-File.

You can sort by this field and the sorting is automatically reversed.
Of course you loose a bit performance on every write and have a litte more data...

Greetings

Thomas

It wrote some COBOL it thought was Pick Basic

This is dead easy in any INFO-derived database. Just create an
i-descrip[tor that maps the data however you want it, then index the
i-descriptor.

This could easily kick up an "are you sure" warning - indexing an
i-descriptor CAN be dangerous, but so long as your i-descriptor only
references data in the current record, it's not a problem.

Cheers,

Thanks, Thomas. I used ROOT and KEY() in a subroutine called from a DICT.

Blast from the Past!

I saw a "Hello World" routine written by AI that was supposed to be a Pick BASIC variant but wouldn't even compile. Looked more like Python than BASIC.

I trained a GPT in the ChatGPT Playground with the Rocket documentation for the Paragraph Language. I also added some skeletons from our codebase and was surprised at how well it could generate source code for pd.p.

I believe AI can take a lot of the boring typing off our hands if it's trained correctly. But it's important that we fully understand the subject matter ourselves first.

I created this a while ago, fun to play with..

It didn't try to use LOCATEs when doing a sort and I don't think it got the LOCATES correct after being prodded to use it.

The SELECT and READNEXT loop structure was junky with it using gotos. Even prodding it to not do that, it wrote an infinite loop.

Still quite fun :)

Thanks for the link.

"I believe AI can take a lot of the boring typing off our hands if it's trained correctly. But it's important that we fully understand the subject matter ourselves first."

Well spoken. Wait... did AI write that?

[frosty]

An update trigger that writes all the indexes (indices?) is a good system, and I've done this before.
