Tips and Techniques: Eliminate Function Key Response Indicators
** This thread discusses the article: Tips and Techniques: Eliminate Function Key Response Indicators **
I noticed the "chip" on Cozzi's shoulder at the first COMMON I attended back in 1986. He's a smart guy so I've learned to look past the attitude and into the meat of his message. Fortunately, I'm a smart guy also so I can recognize the difference between a good technique of his and one that he likes simply because that's the way he does it. chuck Opinions expressed are not necessarily those of my employer.

An opinionated person is hated by many and loved and valued by many. Bob Cozzi is a legend and has to be opinionated. So dont let the tone of an opinionated person think wrongly about him. > > Actually none of the techniques Bob Cozzi mentioned are new. I use newer techniques e.g. suggestion 2. I not only use INFDS to eliminate *INKx, I also use INDDS to eliminate all *IN(x)! Compare the following one-line "SLICK" C style code I use instead of the Bob's "Primitive" code in suggestion 6. > > SHPDTE= %int(%char(%date(INVDTE:*ISO)+%days(WKDAYS):*ISO0) ); > > Now tell me, dont you get the feeling of superiority coming through the words I write? LOL
