RE: [U2] Adding D-Descriptors
The records can have varying numbers of fields. From your comment about flaky data, my guess would be that you are using fields that are being written to someplace else other than what you added. Dictionaries have no impact on what Basic programs do. Fields may be written to a particular file and there doesn't have to be any dictionary present or the dict says the fields hold something totally different. The dictionary is only used for reporting and selection functions. As such, looking at the dictionary is not a reliable or even valid way of determining field usage.

Re: [U2] UniVerse Basic Status command 5 Permission's
Easy. Check out your /usr/include/sys/stat.h file (usually in that location). The information you return and convert to octal contains information other than permissions. Within the stat.h file, are defined a number of S_IFxxx macros, one of which is S_IFREG. The value of this is 010 (octal #), so when you see 100775 what you should actually read that as is: This is a regular file whose permissions are 775. If for instance your value was 120775, then you would have A link whose permissions are 775. The value that universe returns in status5 is the raw value so you have to pick off the parts you want. If you simply want the permissions (lowest 3 bits) from this value, use PERMS = BITAND(status5, 511) which will return you simply 775 (in your instance). Using the #define values in stat.h you could create BITAND code to determine if you are looking at a link, a directory, a file, a character block device, etc. Hope this helps!!

RE: [U2] [OT] Sarbanes-Oxley
Gordon Glorfield wrote: BTW My apologies to our non-USA list members as this is only pertinent to US operations. Sometimes I forget we are not all in the USA. Actually Gordon, while the legal responsibilities of compliance with USA regulations only apply to USA companies, I can easily see initiatives for SOA compliance driving non-USA companies that do business with USA public companies. I'm no expert on the matter, but it seems to me that change will be (or should be) driven from the top-downward to ensure compliance, and that means vendors, partners, and even some customers of these public companies may be requested or mandated to make changes in IT and/or manual procedures. So all of you foreigners and grinning private companies out there better look out. ;) I've seen a couple comments here that tell me that some people have a different understanding of SOA than I do - I have no idea who's right. I'm under the impression that SOA doesn't just mean approvals need to be recorded, but that much stricter auditing need to be done of any physical process or policy which affect the bottom line. That means creating lots of cross-index files, periodic balancing of summary to detail, and some decent drill-down/reporting into all of this data. When someone asks where that bottom line came from, it's management's neck on the line if they can't click a few times to show the detail. The terms data warehouse, cube, ETL, and BI come to mind. Which is what we/MV are very good at once we write the code. We'll see how far it goes when management types actually do their reading and then get serious. I don't think we (consulting community and IT staff) have been asked by our clients/managers to make driving changes yet, simply because there are lot of CxO types still ignoring SOA or still trying to figure out how deep it really goes. Perhaps the thing to do is to contact the CxO's with whom you have influence and ask them if there is anything you can or should be doing to help them get through this. I hope our resident expert, Susan Joslyn, can provide some insight. Tony Nebula RD --- u2-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/

RE: [U2] [OT] Sarbanes-Oxley
Kevin's observation is sadly true. We don't have any managers or accountants in here do we? (you may want to leave now grin) See the thing is, we're letting the auditors drive this thing. Don't get me wrong, they have to, to a certain extent. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (available in its entirety at Sarbanes-oxley.com) isn't really very specific about HOW the numbers are verified. Only, in a nutshell, that the CFO and CEO sign off saying I KNOW that the numbers on our financial statement are correct. Now because they can go to jail if it turns out they aren't they are in a bit of a panic. And they haven't a clue what to do about it. But they want to make sure that its CLEAR AND OBVIOUS that they've 'done diligence'. In step the auditors. Now the auditors - for the most part, let's be fair - don't know all that much about the inner workings of a large company's IT department and the mechanics and shenanigans that put that final number on the 10K. So they come up with a lot of (sometimes unnecessary) hoops for us to jump through. What can we do about it? Well, first, we have to realize that we've got this powerful, flexible environment which has nurtured a seat-of-the pants attitude. Not a bad thing, I mean we can produce amazing results on the fly. We've learned to depend on ourselves that way. But it might look a little scary to an outsider contemplating jail time. So we might have to suck it up just a little and say okay, we're going to be slowed down a bit by this. And then the next thing we do is realize that the slow-down should truly be temporary. While we work out procedures that work and get used to them its going to slow us down. But believe it or not over time the fire-fighting will slow down and we'll get time back. I promise. Then - it would be a really powerful thing if we educated ourselves a bit (see this months article in Spectrum on CobIT) and took the reins. Make sure some if this gi-hyoogic investment is going to give Us something WE want. If we come to management with a clear picture of how we can comply we can set aside some of the hoops. I have one colleague whose auditors are demanding a full table/chart of all access to all files by all programs. Hey that would be a cool thing to have.

RE: [U2] [OT] SOA Acronym (was Sarbanes-Oxley)
Susan referred to it as SOX too -- I like that better (has a Dr. Suess ring to it) and I can go back to a single meaning for SOA. Thanks. --dawn Dawn M.

RE: [U2] [OT] Sarbanes-Oxley
Susan: See the thing is, we're letting the auditors drive this thing. Auditors don't drive this. Auditing is basic procedures plus statistical sampling of transactions to validate these basic procedures. Politics drive this. As Thomas Sowell often notes: politics does what feels good at the moment and mostly has _NO_ connection to results. Don't get me wrong, they have to, to a certain extent. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (available in its entirety at Sarbanes-oxley.com) isn't really very specific about HOW the numbers are verified. Only, in a nutshell, that the CFO and CEO sign off saying I KNOW that the numbers on our financial statement are correct. Now because they can go to jail if it turns out they aren't they are in a bit of a panic. And they haven't a clue what to do about it. It has always surprised me that corporate management could delegate their authority over corporate financial reporting to outside auditors. But then Congress does it every day. Heck, they don't even know how much they spend and what they spend it on. :-) But they want to make sure that its CLEAR AND OBVIOUS that they've 'done diligence'. In step the auditors. Now the auditors - for the most part, let's be fair - don't know all that much about the inner workings of a large company's IT department and the mechanics and shenanigans that put that final number on the 10K. So they come up with a lot of (sometimes unnecessary) hoops for us to jump through. I'd suggest there are other forces at work here. For instance, if IT knows so little about business reporting, just as Finance knows so little about IT, is it any wonder what gets reported can be suspect? My point is there are more powerful arguments for structural ineffectiveness rather than some surreptitious human behavior. Besides, one controls human behavior by instituting institutional structural controls. :-) What can we do about it? Well, first, we have to realize that we've got this powerful, flexible environment which has nurtured a seat-of-the pants attitude. Not a bad thing, I mean we can produce amazing results on the fly. We've learned to depend on ourselves that way. But it might look a little scary to an outsider contemplating jail time. So we might have to suck it up just a little and say okay, we're going to be slowed down a bit by this. Perhape a realization that strict financial controls shouldn't be ignored because: a) noone knows how, b) IT controls the systems and doesn't understand the problem, or c) Finance understands the problem and can't control the systems. And then the next thing we do is realize that the slow-down should truly be temporary. While we work out procedures that work and get used to them its going to slow us down. But believe it or not over time the fire-fighting will slow down and we'll get time back. I promise. I suspect this is good for those companies who don't do this now. For those that implement proper controls there shouldn't be much change, except when the lawyers get involved. Then - it would be a really powerful thing if we educated ourselves a bit (see this months article in Spectrum on CobIT) and took the reins. Make sure some if this gi-hyoogic investment is going to give Us something WE want. If we come to management with a clear picture of how we can comply we can set aside some of the hoops. Kind of like the blind leading the blind. :-) I have one colleague whose auditors are demanding a full table/chart of all access to all files by all programs. Hey that would be a cool thing to have. But trust me, its not required for SOX compliance. Its just the auditors trying to come up with ways that look nice and black-and-white and legitimate and compliant. If somebody over there had proposed the - realistic steps - that needed to be taken first, this would never have happened. If someone would do a little reading and then stand up and say here's a plan the requirement in question would be scrapped in a heartbeat. The management, who are putting their necks on the line, so to speak, should be able to do what they think is necessary. The real difficulty is management are being hired who don't know how to judge the quality their business operations and activities. This is a primary cause of what you are seeing. The consequences of this are far reaching, economincally speaking of course. [snipped] What SOX really is? A giant budget-boost for IT and a guaranteed tech-onomic recovery.

RE: [U2] [OT] Sarbanes-Oxley
My friend, we rarely disagree, even on these points. I've made no such assumptions about rationality, actual vs intended effects, nor the competence of those sponsoring laws. I only stated the possible effect the new laws will have on people worldwide. Are you responding to someone else's comments?? If my intent wasn't clear, please let me know. Nothing worse than being admonished for thinking something that never occurred to you. :) Tony Bill H. wrote: Tony: You make large assumptions: 1) Congressional lawmaking is rational 2) Laws passed don't have the opposite effect from intended 3) Those sponsoring laws have a clue what they're doing.
