QUIZ 7.29 Help

[Don Harrington]

Lets try this again. I've received many good responses to my problem, but
I think something got lost in the transmission :-)

I have a dataset (HP3000, MPE/iX 5.0, TurboIMAGE) that contains (among
other things) two fields which are logically associated with each other.
One is an 8X4 array of CRAFT codes; the other is an 8I2 array of HOURS.
I need to find the CRAFT code that goes with the largest HOURS value.
How can I do that?

TIA,

Well, Don, I'm not sure you'll like my answer, but I think one way to
do this is to use a dual QUIZ process. The first process writes the
records in ascending sorted HOURS order to a subfile. The
second reads the subfile LIMIT 1 and writes the report. It's not a
fast approach, but should work. (PS. not to plug any products, but
can't SUPRTOOL from Robelle do this in one pass, quickly? Mike? )

Thanks for thinking of us, Larry, but this particular situation is not
Suprtool's forte, in any number of passes. Suprtool is hyper-fast when you can
tell it exactly which item it should use (e.g., HOURS(2)), but this
requirement is beyond the capabilities of Suprtool's parser.

Just trying to my standard kick-back :)

In C that would read: tot_stand_kick_back++;

That depends of course whether you will kick back after the deed.

Kind regards,

Actually, it would be: tot_stand_kick_back += 0;
Your suggestion is the equiv. of "tot_stand_kick_back=tot_stand_kick_back+1"

I'm still waiting for Larry's first spelling error since the purchase of
his new dictionary.
