How about creating a lookup File Set keyed by country name and returning continent? Or, if the lists are small enough, a Modify stage to generate the continent lookup_string_from_int16(lookup_int16_from_string(...)) followed by a Switch stage to segregate rows by continent.

Search the forum; player processes terminating on unexpected signals has been addressed before.

View the generated osh script to learn which operator becomes player 34. (You may need to enable viewing of generated OSH in the Administrator client.)

Thanks for (a) finding and (b) posting the solution. This will hopefully alert future developers with similar problems to how painstaking proper troubleshooting needs to be.

Yes, but the OP specified to exclude "Have multiple looks with the same table".

This post or this one will get you started.

Nice one! :D

While it is technically possible to overwrite a section of a file opened for sequential access, the restrictions probably preclude your using it in a generic sense. The first restriction is that the replacement line must contain exactly the same number of bytes as the line it replaces. Using a secon...

Care to share?
Or, at the very least, to post the URL where you found the technique?

It's not our decision - it's theirs . They must tell you what information they want stored; for which fields it is essential to keep full history, for which fields partial history (maybe the most recent three changes) would be OK, and for which fields they are only interested in the most recent valu...

WAVE is a purely internal concept; if does not affect anything you do. The wave number is a mechanism for identifying runs uniquely, particularly when resetting a job. MSG.TEXT is the message text with placeholders, somewhat like the template used with the printf() family of functions in C. MSG.ARGS...

would be my preference from the Administrator client command window.

Your approach to add key columns does not work with hashed files. A hashed file must, at all times, use the key, the whole key and nothing but the key to determine the location of a record. 20000000 rows is an awful lot for a hashed file - do you REALLY need them all? Can you be selective about whic...

To read each row from a hashed file, you need to have opened the hashed file, then establish a "Select List" of the hashed file's keys. You choose one at a time and read that record. OpenPath hashedfilepath To inputfilevariable Then ClearSelect 9 ; * initialize Select List number 9 Select inputfilev...

To write to a text file, use WriteSeq OutputLine To filevariable Else Call DSLogFatal("Unable to write to output file", "ExpandMe") End You need to have opened the file with OpenSeq before the main loop, and you need to close the file with CloseSeq after the main loop (to...

If that's not enough, look at the Routine called DSSendMailTester (in the Built-In\Utilities category) for a coded example.
