UniFile ReadNamedFields

Question

I'm currently using IBM's UniObjects and I trying to retrieve multiple fields from a UniFile at once to increase efficiency.

UniFile uFile = uSession.CreateUniFile("fileName");
uFile.RecordID = inputID;
string[] fieldNames = {"I_Field_1", "D_Field_1", "I_Field_2", "D_Field_2"};
UniDynArray uFields = uFile.ReadNamedFields(fieldNames);

uFields value:

þvalue1þþvalue2

þ = delimiter for the UniDynArray

The problem is that half of these fields are I-descriptors and half are D-descriptors. The I-descriptors will not output unless only a single one of them is in the array fieldNames like so:

string[] fieldNames = {"I_Field_1"};
UniDynArray uFields = uFile.ReadNamedFields(fieldNames);

So I guess my question is why are the I-descriptor fields not being displayed and if there is a way they can be using this or a similar method.

I'm new to stackoverflow as well as an entry-level developer so thank you for any help you can provide.

It sounds like an defect with UniObject's. Since you say it is IBM's UniObject's, you most likely have an old version (UniData/UniVerse is owned by Rocket Software now).

Assuming you are on an old version, it is possible this works in a newer version. You should look into scheduling an update of your UniData server and hence client software such as UniObjects.

Outside of this, you can probably raise a bug with your VAR/Support Provider or Rocket Software directly.
