Thanks for your prompt reply! :?: The problem using sleep() is how to calculate the number of seconds. I'd have to know the difference in seconds between 0200 the next day and now. "Now" is a known quantity, but how would you go about calculating the desired start time? All the nice time a...

Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I could incorporate a variable-length delay into a job sequence? Specifically, what I'm trying to do is start a job sequence at a random time on a particular day, run up to the last activity in the sequence at normal speed, then delay execution of that last...

Modified substring? That can easily be done in Transformer stage. Give us your rules, and I can whip something up without you having to build a BuildOP or Custom stage. OK, I need a stage that processes records in which some of the fields are strings. Some, but not all of those strings need to be f...

Hello, I'm getting the same error. The .a and .o files are in place, their folder is in the LD_LIBRARY_PATH (set in the dsenv file), and I'm compiling on the same platform that I'm running on. The commands I'm using for the build on my Solaris 5.8 system are: .../SunCompilers/bin/CC -c -DSOLARIS_CC ...

Thanks, Roy. Static allocation won't work becuase this is intended to be a common, widely-used routine. I can't risk having several processes trying to use the same space at once. And I don't want to lock it down and have threads waiting on such a simple routine! I'll be able to try using the space ...

I would like to create a PX routine that returns a (modified) substring of an input string, much like this one posted by another user of this forum: char *substr(char *str,int st,int len) { int i,j=0,l; char *s; l = strlen(str); if(len > 0) s = (char *)malloc(100); else return(""); if(l < ...
