Request for UniData/UniBasic Interview Questions & References

[Deepa K.K]

Hi Everyone,

I am currently refreshing my knowledge of UniData and UniBasic and preparing for interviews in this domain. I would really appreciate it if anyone could share:

• Common interview questions related to UniData/UniBasic

• Any reference materials, guides, or best practices

If you have  experience interviewing for UniData-related roles, your insights would be extremely valuable!

Thanks in advance for your help.

Best regards,
Deepa Krishnankutty

A few I used to use:

 

Discuss Global Common pluses and minuses; and coding techniques to avoid potential pitfalls. (answer should include performance on the plus side; naming conflicts on the downside; use of includes and special naming conventions [we use <tag>$<varname> in all global common names for example, where the <tag> is unique to that include).

 

Then there’s the related use of Equates for file/attribute definitions: what coding conventions or techniques can be used to avoid pitfalls (in particular, to avoid using ‘Record<123>’ in the code)?

(answers should include use of ‘matparse/matbuild’ into static arrays where the names are equated using a similar patter to the global commons [the method we use); or equates with at least the numbers equated to unique names).

 

Other misc concepts they should know:

 

• Use of ‘remove’ loops
• Internal/external format and conventions for the use of iconv/oconv
• Use of delimiters below @SVM
• Lots more I could think of..;)
