System and Other FunctionsSee Also• $X special variable• $Y special variable$ZUTIL(69,39)Sets caching for future processes system-wide.$ZUTIL(69,39,n)$ZU(69,39,n)ParametersnThe boolean value that specifies whether or not a process has caching enabled.Note that settings are: 0 = caching enabled. 1 = caching disabled.DescriptionUse $ZUTIL(69,39) to disable or enable client server caching system-wide for any futureprocess. When caching is enabled, Caché will cache data for quicker retrieval.Invoking $ZUTIL(69,39) without specifying n returns the current switch setting.ParametersnThe boolean switch that determines whether caching is disabled. 0 = caching enabled. 1 =caching disabled. Note that these boolean values are the opposite of those found in SystemConfiguration.Caching enabled (0) is the default setting for the switch. This configuration default cannotbe changed using the System Management Portal.Setting $ZUTIL(69,39) overrides this default system-wide; it does not change the SystemConfiguration setting. Setting $ZUTIL(68,39) overrides the system-wide setting for thecurrent process.See Also• $ZUTIL(68,39) Disable or Enable Caching function670 Caché ObjectScript Reference
$ZUTIL(69,40)$ZUTIL(69,40)Sets end-of-file handling for sequential files system-wide.$ZUTIL(69,40,n)$ZU(69,40,n)ParametersnThe boolean value that sets end-of-file handling system-wide. 0=Caché format.1=MSM format.DescriptionThe $ZUTIL(69,40) function specifies end-of-file flagging format system-wide. This functionis provided to support the porting of MSM routines that use $ZCYC to check for end of fileon sequential file reads.$ZUTIL(69,40,1) eliminates the error for sequential files system-wide.Instead, when the end of a file is reached, the READ command returns a null string, the$ZPOS special variable is set to "" (the null string), and the $ZEOF special variable is setto -1.Invoking $ZUTIL(69,40) without specifying n returns the current switch setting.ParametersnThe switch that determines whether end-of-files are flagged: 0 = End-of-files are flagged instandard Caché format. 1 = End-of-files are flagged in MSM format.$ZUTIL(69,40,0) is the default setting for the switch. This option controls the behavior whenCaché encounters an unexpected end-of-file when reading a sequential file. When set to 1,Caché sets the $ZEOF special variable to indicate that you have reached the end of the file.When set to 0, Caché issues an error. The default is 0.This configuration default cannot be changed using the System Management Portal.Setting $ZUTIL(69,40) overrides this default system-wide; it does not change the SystemConfiguration setting. Setting $ZUTIL(68,40) overrides the system-wide setting for thecurrent process.Caché ObjectScript Reference 671
