Jackson!!  Welcome to the Pick/Multivalue world!!!  Refreshing to know someone new has discovered this fantastic system.

Just curious, what led you to Pick?   What other languages and environments do you hail from?  Are you under 30 yrs of age!!???  What type of business is running Pick?   :)

You might try Googling "Jon Sisk" and "Matt Stern" PICK books and guides (they below to this Group I believe).   I couldn't have thrived without the Pick Pocket Guide.

BTW - There are a lot of great and knowledgable people here and on FB etc.

Best of luck!

Bruce Cameron

• CONVERSION CODES - 4 Updates

CONVERSION CODES

Jackson Ramos <jackso...@qualco.com>: Dec 08 07:37AM -0800 Is there a list of conversion codes for OCONV and ICONV I'm trying to find what G-2 converts to in OCONV, also this probably won't be my first post asking about PICK/BASIC i'm fairly new to the language, about 2 months in of learning.

Martin Phillips <mphi...@rocketsoftware.com>: Dec 08 04:11PM Hi Jackson,   Conversion codes vary a little between platforms but the G code is, as far as I know, the same everywhere. Here is a description from the QM documentation:   The group conversion code treats the source data as being formed from a number of components separated by a delimiter character and extracts specified components. It works identically on input and output conversions.   Gcn Returns the first n components of the source data delimited by character c.   Gscn Skips s components and then returns the next n components of the source data delimited by character c.   Example   Consider a date stored in character form as 03/10/98. The G conversion code could be used to extract components of this date:   G/1 returns 03   G/2 returns 03/10   G1/1 returns 10     Martin   From: mvd...@googlegroups.com <mvd...@googlegroups.com> On Behalf Of Jackson Ramos Sent: 08 December 2021 15:37 To: Pick and MultiValue Databases <mvd...@googlegroups.com> Subject: [mvdbms] CONVERSION CODES   EXTERNAL EMAIL       Is there a list of conversion codes for OCONV and ICONV I'm trying to find what G-2 converts to in OCONV, also this probably won't be my first post asking about PICK/BASIC i'm fairly new to the language, about 2 months in of learning. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "Pick and MultiValue Databases" group.

Hey Bruce,

I actually was self learning JavaScript and ruby when i came upon a job which is allowing me to learn Pick on the job. It's actually a factory that manufactures pool chemicals. I don't work in the factory i work in an office offsite.

I am actually 26 years of age.

Looking forward to learning Pick and meeting great people in this group

Jackson

Hi Jackson,

Welcome to the wonderful world of Pick. Pick and Multi Value systems have helped put bread on my table and a roof over my head since Feb 1985. I was 24 at the time, fresh out of college and stumbled on Pick quite by accident. :) 

We have 4 younger guys in our IT dept. in their early 30s who are learning Pick programming along with all the new fangled stuff.  Our sister company has 2 more. They grumble about not being to just use Google to get answers to their questions but I think I'm a fairly good substitute. :) 

[Brian Speirs]

Don't forget to point them to this forum! We need a few more questions and more participation here. Not to mention that there a many people in this group who have experienced a wide variety of situations. If they can't help your staff directly, they will certainly be able to make some suggestions.

Cheers,

Brian

Hello everyone,

I will definitely ask away whenever i have "dumb" questions. It's a little hard to find any resources on pick but I'm sure this forum is a good replacement with people with a lot of experience. Thanks guys.

I'm sure you've heard this before, there's no such thing as a dumb
question, there's only smart-ass replies.

Just make sure you at least try to find the answer in the docu, and tell
us what you've found (even if it seems daft). It helps in getting a good
response :-)

Cheers,
Wol
