The PB DATA handling has changed quite a bit from DOS to Windows
(PBDLL6.0). I can cope with the rather restricted READ$(i) but I have
a lot of data of which some need to be used and read more than once.
Reading previously used/read data is apparently not possible and the
Help files don't mention any of this.
Also the RESET or RESET DATA seem to cause either a syntax error or
have no effect or makes that the data is apparently all zero...
I also tried to have the DATA read section in a separate SUB (hoping that
there would be a kind of refresh each time that SUB is called) but that
didn't work out either.
Can anybody tell me how I can correctly read and use the same DATA
more than once?:
Alternatively, can anybody describe a method to 'store' data in a
repetitive retrievable way, but not as a separate file and (preferably)
also not in memory (because its a relative large amount of data which
are to be used throughout the duration of the whole programme).
Any solutions will be much appreciated.
Thanks, Jules
