RE: [U2] AIX UPGRADE
Jeff There was a problem when GUIDE came out on 5.2 specifically (a totally new build of GUIDE that allowed concurrent processing of the file). The old version of GUIDE was included as guide_51 as a fallback or you could disable the new feature by running the new GUIDE with the -Z1 option if necessary. This was addressed as you say in a later release, but using the old GUIDE (guide_51) or using the -Z1 option would have been OK as well - you just couldn't run it concurrently with other access to the file(s) - this was therefore as per previous usage. Lots of people renamed the guide executable to guide_52 and also copied guide_51 to guide to avoid issues and having to remember the -Z1 option. __ Issue 5623 - Problem Description UniData -- Prior to this release, if you executed the guide utility against a dynamic file that was being aggressively updated, the file became corrupt.

Barry, at the risk of posting something here about .NET twice in one day, I'll suggest that .NET is an option for all of these questions we see here about "how do I connect X to U2?". See these links for info about dBASE and .NET (sew the URL pieces together): General ODBC to dBaseIV without a DSN: http://www.carlprothman .net/Default.aspx?tabid=90#ODBCDriverForDBASE ODBC .NET Data Provider to datasources like dBaseIV with a DSN: http://www.carlprothman .net/Default.aspx?tabid=86#ODBCManagedProvider (scroll down to "For all other ODBC Drivers) (lots of other providers listed on that page, good info!) ODBC and OLEDB connection info to DBF among many others: http:// www.connectionstrings .com/ Sample code: http://www.kdkeys .net/forums/748/ShowPost.aspx And http://www.experts-exchange .com/Programming/Programming_Languages /Dot_Net/Q_20666541.html And http://aspadvice .com/blogs/andrewmooney/archive/2004/10/22/2477.aspx So that gets your dBASE files connected to .NET, but then what? ADO.NET, usable with those links above is a good universal hub for data from any relational or MV source. And then to U2? [now the ad part] mv.NET is a wheel spoke (so to speak) to any MV environment. UO.NET is not adequate for this it does not include native integration with ADO.NET where mv.NET does, so while you can use UO.NET to do this for free, you will need to manually write a lot of code for all of these sorts of projects.

Re: [U2] UniVerse - file importation
Whoa! dBase IV! As I recall that DB was way before ODBC for external access to the data. But IIRC the data files themselves are just text files with fixed length fields. You should be able to access the DB files with UniBasic and READSEQ. The first "record" in a dBase file is the data definition with the length and name of each field. From there you should be able to parse the records as needed. Gordon J.

RE: [U2] Unidata's .Net UniDynArray
Once you disconnect, all the dynarray, counts, and similar commands do not work.

However I connect, get the data, drop it into a dataset and disconnect and from then on I don't really use any of the UO. Net commands. I use the SPLIT command to break the string on character marks and I build the strings simply by var1 & chr(254) & var2 VS2005 makes a lot of this very simple.

It makes no technical sense to keep a connection open to the server just to manipulate data in a client/middle-tier, except as was suggested when you require iconv/oconv or other platform-specific services. mv.NET, for example, does not require a server connection to manipulate a dynamic array. At the core of .NET is the concept of the disconnected data architecture - there is nothing in .NET itself that would mandate a server connection when you're manipulating data. This issue with UO.NET has nothing to do with COM or Microsoft's implementation of .NET, I'm guessing it's simply a matter of how the library was designed (the class hierarchy), or perhaps the UO.NET wrapper around UO. If you instantiate a dynamic array from a live connection then closing the connection might wrapup all "child" objects. It shouldn't work that way though. I wouldn't consider a dynamic array to be a child of a given connection. A SelectList or data that relies on server-side indexes, sure. This could be a business issue and the price for UO.NET being "free" - they might have a flag that causes wrapup of all objects when the last session is disconnected, but I haven't heard anyone mention this since UO.NET was announced. As a test, can you create a UniDynArray and manipulate it without first creating a session? What about creating a connection object but not logging it in, then working with a DynArray? (I've forgotten the specific class names, sorry.) If you login, create a DynArray, logout, watch the array "break", then log back in, can you now access the DynArray? That's a sure sign of an activation process at work. If the DynArray is still broken after you reconnect then there might just be something up with their hierarchies or wrapup code. About the objects "all" being managed code, I don't think this is the case. Please accept my apologies for not knowing enough about UO.NET, but based on errors I've seen on connections I believe it's just a PInvoke/wrapper around UO. Can someone confirm or deny that? Thanks.

RE: [U2] Sorting By Price
Bill, I think you're going to have to transpose your array (swap columns for rows), or create a stand-alone array to hold just the dollar amount, in order to make this work. The thing you're trying to LOCATE is a 3-value dynamic array itself (1 attribute, 3 values), so it's not a number, but rather a string. If you make Val.Array<1> hold the extended amounts, Val.Array<2> hold the part#'s, and <3> hold the bin locations, then you have all your dollar amounts in one attribute, and you can LOCATE Extended.F within that attribute, and then do 3 inserts at the located value position. Then change your extracts accordingly See below --Ron P.

This could be a business issue and the price for UO.NET being "free" - they might have a flag that causes wrapup of all objects when the last session is disconnected, but I haven't heard anyone mention this since UO.NET was announced. As a test, can you create a UniDynArray and manipulate it without first creating a session? What about creating a connection object but not logging it in, then working with a DynArray? (I've forgotten the specific class names, sorry.) If you login, create a DynArray, logout, watch the array "break", then log back in, can you now access the DynArray? That's a sure sign of an activation process at work. If the DynArray is still broken after you reconnect then there might just be something up with their hierarchies or wrapup code. About the objects "all" being managed code, I don't think this is the case. Please accept my apologies for not knowing enough about UO.NET, but based on errors I've seen on connections I believe it's just a PInvoke/wrapper around UO. Can someone confirm or deny that? Thanks.

[U2] UniVerse - file importation
Does anybody know of a good way (or program/utility) to import (translate as it were) dBase IV data onto a UniVerse system. We have a shipping package that uses dBase IV and I would love to be able to utlize that data from UniVerse. As always, any help is greatly appreciated.

Re: [U2] Shell Dispatch Quoting
Thanks Charles,
I jumped to using Your U routine and came up with two enhancements.
1) Print a warning when the command supplied uses all three of \,'
and " .
Can anyone dream up a way of handling it instead ?
2) Add some hardcoded command aliases
( It's sooo irritating to shell out from uv to find that your
unix aliases don't work ! )
and in the spirit of open source the enhanced program is here:
CMD = TRIMF( @SENTENCE )[' ',2,999]
IF CMD = OCONV( CMD,'MCU') THEN CMD = OCONV( CMD,'MCL' )
UC = CMD[' ',1,1]
** Some aliases, change and/or add Your own:
BEGIN CASE
CASE UC = 'll'; CMD = '/usr/ucb/ls -ls ':CMD[' ',2,999]
CASE UC = 'ps'; CMD = '/usr/ucb/':CMD
END CASE
IF INDEX(CMD,'"',1) THEN
IF INDEX(CMD,"'",1) THEN
IF INDEX(CMD,'\',1) THEN
CRT "Sorry, but you've used all quotes!"
END
ELSE
CMD = '\':CMD:'\'
END
END
ELSE
CMD = SQUOTE(CMD)
END
END
ELSE
CMD = DQUOTE(CMD)
END
EXECUTE "sh -c ":CMD
STOP
END

kept on solaris ))

For working at TCL, typing SH -c and proper quote marks, too, is just
way too hard for me.
So I have a little utility verb, "U", that just takes everything after
the first word, and dispatches it.
Furthermore, if the entire line is Uppercase (the usual for TCL), then
it figures you probably meant Lowercase (the usual for Unix), so it
flips it before handing it to sh.
U PWD; LS -L
U ls -l \&SAVEDLISTS\& | grep "Nov 9"
get executed as
SH -c"pwd; ls -l"
SH -c'u ls -l \&SAVEDLISTS\& | grep "Nov 9"'
respectively.
If you insist on using all 3 (',", and \), you're on your own.

[U2] Unidata's .Net UniDynArray
I ran into the following error last night and did a search on the postings, Martin asked the following question. >Is it possible to work on uodotnet.UniDynArrays without having a session >object open? >I have tried to manipulate a uodotnet.UniDynArray, but when the session is >closed, it throws an error. I did not find any definitive answer. It would be in my opinion very beneficial to close the session object and then do some processing with the UniDynArrays. Can anyone see why you should not be able to close the session and still work with the UnidynArrays. I do not think it has anything to do with COM as I was stepping thru C# code Visual Studio. I believe the docs say the the objects are all managed code. Thoughts ? George Full posting is below. == Hi Martin I am sure you don't need a database connection for the UniDynarray to work. You do need it if you use oconv/iconv as these need to work from the server variables. However if there is a possibility that you do not expect to use other databases that U2 in the future, you may have a licensing problem using UniDynarray without purchasing U2 licenses. Relation to COM/COM+, I always tell clients, that a UniVerse Basic program has been able to Run for 20 years on the mainframe, but their PC based programs only have a shelf life of 3-5 years. Win16, Win 32, Win 64, Dos, NT, activex, com, com+, ... Regards David Jordan A late reply, I was distracted by work. David, I agree, the issue is with the way that .Net treats Com Objects. What a mess Microsoft did there to finish off the COM paradigm. For years COM and COM+ was the holy grail of programming in the windows world and now we are expected to change completly into the .Net world of wonders. In my current web based product I use the UniDynArray only as storage container for the data. I am independent from the database, in fact I can write the stringvalue of a DynArray into SQL server or any other database. That's why I can't deal with UODOTNET's UniDynArray. Just to create it I need a database connection which I don't have. jBase gave me a trial of their mv.net product and I have to try it out. Maybe I have to write my own class of a UniDynArray in .Net using just string operations. A worthy project, but sure to take time and dedication. Martin Scholl Hi Martin I suspect the issue you are having is not with the dynamic array, but that you are using a com object within the .Net framework, which requires it to step out of the environment each time you make a call, ie each time you update the dynamic array. The issue is not with UniObjects, but COM in .Net. You would resolve the problem going to IBM's U2 .Net interface as going with jBase or Raining data's .Net product. If you wish to stay with the com version, and it seems to be a batch update, you could put the update routine as a VB6 compiles routine and then pass the array to it to update as 1 com call. Alternatively you could build the dynamic array manually by concatenating the strings with CHAR(254), etc and stay fully in the .Net frame work. With .Net UniObj, I have opened a session, got data and closed the session and then used the dynamic array handling without issue, so you should not require a session to be open to use the dynamicarray facilities. Regards David Jordan Is it possible to work on uodotnet.UniDynArrays without having a session object open? I have tried to manipulate a uodotnet.UniDynArray, but when the session is closed, it throws an error. I have the nagging suspicion that UO.Net needs an open session to execute 'Oconv', Iconv' etc on the server through a call. I hope this is not true. It would make UO.Net pretty useless for stateless paradigms like web programming. Has anybody tried jBase's mv.Net?
