Re: [U2] Readu lock lost after 1 hour.
I have tested your programs with one major difference on my UV9.6: PGM2 eventually abandoms the wait but does not go into the THEN block, i.e., the 'READU END' is not displayed. As per Martin's email, the time to wait is controlled by the LOCK.WAIT.

RE: [U2] [UV] Typo leads to discovery of new feature
The general argument for rejecting a pattern of digits ending with a decimal point and not followed by any decimal places (e.g. "10.") is that such a pattern often indicates a typo. The argument for accepting such a pattern, representing an integer constant, is that we've always done it that way. I don't favor a change to the representation of numeric constants, but I'd favor a change to the BASIC compiler to eliminate the implicit FMT. The implicit FMT has historically been more costly than beneficial, and still is so. The compiler would catch more typos if the absence of an operator between 2 expressions were always flagged as an error. > -Original Message- > From: Barry Brevik > > [...] what seems odd to me is the "." > > [...] UV accepts "10." to be the same as "10.0" or "10". > > Barry --- u2-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/ --- u2-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/

Re: [U2] [UD] License count update
>From the 5.0.1 readme (yes - it's been around for a number of years) I've used 'kill -HUP smm.pid' regularly on Unix. I can't say that I've used 'stopsmm -r' or tried it on Windows... You don't want to 'fat finger' a kill -9 smm.pid, though... :-) Issue 7795 - Problem description UniData -- Prior to this release, when any changes were made for licensing purposes through the confprod utility, UniData had to be stopped and started again for those changes to take effect. Beginning at this release you no longer have to stop and start UniData. On UniData for UNIX, after changing the licensing information and obtaining an authorization code, execute either of the following commands from the UNIX prompt: kill -HUP smm_pid_ID or stopsmm -r On UniData for Windows NT, you use the stopsmm -r command. Note: Certain functions require that UniData be stopped, such as executing cntl_install, changing a file from recoverable to nonrecoverable, changing the udtconfig file, etc. Wally Terhune Manager - U2 Advanced Technical Services IBM DB2 Information Management Software Tel: 303.294.4866 Fax: 303.294.4832 [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.ibm.com/software/data/u2/support - Open, Query, Update, Search - Online!

Re: [U2] [UD] BASIC COMPILE ERROR: Too many constants near line
Hi ennis, Cant it be read ONCE and put into one (or more) named common variables? I could do that, but I am trying to have the data cached by a process (object loaded) without having to read the data. This works nicely on UV and has the advantage that you can load the program into shared memory so that a font only gets loaded once for the system. I think I'm going to have a bash at run/length encoding the font data to reduce the size of the font program.

RE: [U2] Readu lock lost after 1 hour.
Readu locks should always be for the shortest period of time. Having locks open for long periods of time can cause issues such as the lock table filling up causing other issues. The performance issues can be significant and this is why RDBMS go to optimistic locking. Unless the record is locked because someone opened the record and went to lunch, it may be better to consider other methods. If it is related to workflow processes consider using task synchronization locks.
