[U2] jBASE : PRINT FMT('6.71509648127128E-02', 'R9') error
I'm processing numeric data from an excel spreadsheet using jbase and the
statement PRINT FMT('6.71509648127128E-02', 'R9') gives non numeric value when
numeric expected.
I have compiled the same statement into a Universe test program and I'm
getting the expected result of 0.067150965.
Does anyone have suggestions how to get the correct result in jbase? I'm
reading the excel values using an ADO driver interface and have no way of
changing how the data is presented to me from the interface.
Thanks for any help, Marco.

RE: [U2] Using Esc
We looked at a product called WIN.FAST. But it only got us about 90% where we needed to be. They scan each row looking for specific characters to tell them where headings begin and end, where input fields begin and end. So if you have very consistent screen content and format, this might work for you. We have had too many fingers in the pie over the last 20 years. So consistency is not as good as it should be. In particular, we had some lookups that occupied multiple rows for one item. Some items had three rows, others had four rows. There were other anomalies in the display. So they had trouble figuring out what the user should be allowed to select from this lookup to bring back to the primary screen. It also is only pseudo-gui. The mouse can only be used in certain instances. You still are trying to keep the display in sync with the Unibasic code behind the GUI. Since it is not really event driven, you can only use the mouse in certain places. But it did do a good job of making screens that were consistent look much better. Menus converted easily. You could setup a terminal type for WinFast users. So you could put Winfast specific statements in your existing Unibasic code and still allow green screens to use the same program. There was a lot of functionality that they could provide on the client machine to call windows and web apps from the Unix server (Unibasic programs). There was little to deploy when you wanted to introduce changes to screen. Most all manipulation was handled on the server. The client side just needed to recognize certain characters to trigger GUI like presentation and execution. It did not fit for us, but it might for others. http://www.gowinfast.com/product.htm -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Keith W.

On the plus side, many terminal emulators can have their keyboard re-programmed so that when you press a key it sends the key that you want. I've used this feature to send the proper arrow escape sequences on bad VT220 emulators. Once the terminal emulator is properly configured the setup file for it can become part of the standard installation procedure for the user. So if the escape key sends CHAR(251), it can be changed on the emulator without writing new code. I know that Hostaccess and Hummingbird allow for keyboard re-programming. I've used Accuterm before but don't remember if you can re-program its keyboard as well. On my emulator, I've configured F12 to do: S^M so that when I step through the debugger I only need to press one key. __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

I've always coded in MV using input handling routines. The arrows are supported to move about in the input field. I worked with a client a while back and their application only used the BASIC INPUT statement. This caused some garbage data to occasionnally appear in their files. I was quite surprised to see that not everyone uses some kind of input handling routine. That client's application wasn't particularly well written either. There were gosubs being exited with GOTO's.

RE: [U2] Dataflo missing Workfile
Wow -- although Nabble may be snatching the content right out of our List, it's a pretty nice interface! And the U2 group is like the 5th most active list in databases (much like CDP has always been pretty active, I guess) As for this issue, it's vendor specific -- your vendor has built Work Files they expect to have a certain naming convention -- you can probably find them by searching your data account file - in our case, the works files are called HRPS.WORK.portno. The only time users have had problems are where the VOC entry for the Work File existed, but the actual underlying file did not. But as the use of work files is not defined by the O/S or the Database, but more by the application, you need another DataFlo user or vendor to confirm what files should be in place. Caveat! But if you editted the VOC for that file, and looked for the DICT and DATA it wants, one of them (or both) are gone from the hard drive. This happened in our work files from time to time -- we actually made our work file open logic handle this case by removing the offending VOC and rebuilding from scratch - but who would pre-anticipate the VOC entry existing while the underlying database file was gone?!? It just happened enough to that they made the change in our product.

After repairing and coming back up, we noticed that users on port (UDTNO) 8 and 18 got the message "Cannot Update without WORKFILE - Inquiries Only" at the bottom of their screen. Is there a way to restore the workfiles for these ports and how do I know what their names are? is there a TCL command or a PV command to reset workfiles? Any help would be appreciated!! -- Sent from the U2 - Users forum at Nabble.com: http://www.nabble.com/Dataflo-missing-Workfile-t774567.html#a2019132 --- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/ --- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/
Re: [U2] Using Esc
Mark, AFAIR UV does provide cursor driven input - see the Input @, KeyEdit and KeyTrap statements. It is however pretty horrible. You can't blame the vendors for this one though. The problem has been the mindset of a community that hasn't shared code (how many virtually identical menu runners or input subroutines have I seen over the years) even though the runtime binding model of external subroutines makes it so easy... I doubt the vendors would be interested in extending a 20 year old text interface when you can download the free VB 2005 Express, UO.Net and do it all properly ...

I believe that this should be accomplished by the providers themselves, ie Raining Data and IBM in their future releases. They already interpet the TERM setting and it would remove the differences. I took my GET.ANS and tried to fit it on Accuterm and couldn't get the proper backspace. --- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/

I was just reminded that jBASE also has a free option. You can download a (not for commercial use) evaluation version and get a one year rolling single user license without paying a cent. - Charles Barouch [EMAIL PROTECTED] (718) 762-3884 x 1 P. O.
