[U2] Changes to the List
Thank you all for your views on this subject. The status of the user lists is one of many areas the U2UG are considering as we move forward this year. At our next board meeting we will be constituting a committee to advise on the best options for the list hosting. It may be that the committee finds a better option for the current list, recommends a move to a different list service, or recommends that the lists stay as current. Any recommendations, together with their rationale, will be fed back to the community and any decisions on the future of the lists will ultimately need to rest with the list membership. The committee will be continuing to seek comment from the membership on this issue. So in the meantime: 1. Please move this discussion over to the community list. That's where it belongs now. 2. If anyone wishes to contact the board directly on this matter, please email myself or other board members off-list. Thank You, Brian Leach, U2UG Board --- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/

RE: [U2] [UD] Trigger (singular)
Hi Bill, What you have is the simplest form of the wrapper. I had to create a 'generic' wrapper so I had to add logic to deal with the possible return values of execstat and the possibly amended record. As the wrapper is making the multiple calls it now has the responsibility of quitting at the appropriate time and maintaining the record value between subroutine calls. I'm on leave today, but I will post the 2 wrappers I have for update and delete as soon as I get a chance.

It was so simple when Cliff ran things. Receive an Email and reply to it. I have more posts about how to post this week then anything else, it is getting very boring, and more complicated. I have had a couple of failed to delivery messages because I an not a valid user on some of the lists. The amount of usefull posts have gone down. I do not like the way things are going. To many committees not enough action and common sense. Think I will be unsubscribing very soon. I wonder who is going to get this reply, I haven't got a clue..!

RE: [U2] [UD] Trigger (singular)
Bill, I don't see anything "wrong" - just a hint. Once you are in the trigger subroutine your calls don't have to conform to the trigger. I realize that this may be just because you were thinking you could add them both as triggers and wrote them that way.

RE: [U2] [UD] Triggers
Agreed -- we have D3 users and UniData users and UniVerse users ... I'm not sure that part of UniData is 'Time Warped' -- we've seen a ton of new features built in during the last few years, while D3 chugs along, they've only produced 3rd level point revisions in the last 2 years! Wow. It does make their maintenance seem high! I'm getting the same feedback from my customers. The only thing D3 has that I miss in UniData is Case Insensitivity everywhere. Gosh that was nice. Gosh that was a nightmare. Gosh that was nice. And while UniVerse may be slightly more compatible with D3, UniVerse is slightly more complex to administrer than UniData in my experience. Not as much once you know all the edges, but there are more edges in UniVerse for sure! (No flame wars needed or intended!) Bill - Welcome your customer to U2 land!!

RE: [U2] [UD] Conversion from D3
I'll second Ken's opinion. We converted our application from D3 to UniData about 10 years ago. We converted approx 30 clients. Everybody was really happy. You just have to look at some things differently. No slight intended here Bill but I believe you did this all with the PE version and no IBM involvement. This no doubt added to the pain. Of course, an on the ball IBM rep *should* have contacted you... I know you've told me about the world of difference in support you've been getting from MS with VS and SQL (though you didn't say if you actually purchased those ;-) You also seem "pushed" from D3 rather than "pulled" to UniData - that might also be part of the issue. When we converted we had a UniData account UCONV3 on aix that had a number of utilities that I believe we used. I have documentation on it in my UniData manual (circa version 3.6.5?) but haven't seen anything on it since. Perhaps IBM should get on top of this before Tony convinces everyone to move to Jbase ;-) In Bill's defence: UniData does have a Pick compatibility mode - note I said Pick and not D3. It doesn't have some of the "enhancements" done in the last 15-20 years - like still needing quotes around item id's in UniQuery statements. Also UniQuery's sub-totalling on det-supp reports leaves something to be desired. We converted our app to SB+ at the same time as moving to UD. It insulated us from a number of the issues that Bill encountered. It "forces" you to use Pick compatibility mode - I wonder if that is going to change now that IBM no longer supports SB+ on D3? That being said - I wouldn't go back unless someone paid me (anybody!?!?! Heck, I'll even work with Visage if I have to ;-) Way too much for this early on St. Patrick's Day!

[U2] AIX and UniData version compatibility for using ENCRYPT() function
We are currently running UniData 6.0.8 on AIX 5.1 on a 32-bit machine and I'm trying to use the ENCRYPT() function for data encryption. However, I was told that AIX 5.1 doesn't have the underlying OpenSSL libraries for ENCRYPT() to work so I'm trying to decide on an upgrade path. I looked at the compatibility matrix on IBM's site, however, I wanted to get some feedback from current UniData users. Is there any reason not to upgrade to AIX 5.3? What version of 32-bit UniData should I upgrade to? Should I upgrade UniData before AIX or does it matter? Are there any "gotchas" to watch out for when upgrading? I'm basing my assumptions on staying with the latest versions of O/S & UniData but I could be wrong. If anyone has any experience and feedback, I would greatly appreciate it.

RE: [U2] Changes to the List
Hi, Referring to the U2UG Charter: Bullet #7 --> "To provide a forum for the promotion of excellence in information processing through recognition of individuals who exemplify the best in our profession in their work utilizing the U2 product line." My thoughts: It would seem to me that the promotion of excellence will not happen, when the provided 'excellence' is in the form of replies to specific users (Reply-To), and remains hidden from the rest of the group (Reply-To-All). --- also --- Bullet #8 --> "To promote the exchange of technical information among U2 users." In my opinion, the exchange of technical information is being exchanged via roadblocks and hidden alleys. --- In conclusion --- I've gotten a lot of great ideas from this list, and am saddened at the fact that I (along with many other newbies) won't see a lot of those, due to people with busy schedules forgetting to click the right button.

Re: [U2] Changes to the List
Dave, As a founding father(?) I have to point out that the U2-Users list, U2-Community list, SBSolutions list, and RBSolutions lists aren't exactly part of the U2UG. Here's the real facts, just so all are clear: Mike O'Rear ran the list for eight years, on his dime and with his time. When he got tired, the list passed to Clif Oliver. Clif ran it for nine years. Clif offered the lists (Users & Community) to the U2UG to oversee. We don't *own* them, we mind the store on behalf of everyone. For the U2UG to run the lists, we needed help. Fortunately, Larry Hiscock stepped up. SBSolutions started with Kevin King. He, like Clif, entrusted us to mind the store. RBSolutions started with Scott Rau. When Scott's work situation changed, he asked us to mind the store. Larry hosts both of these lists as well. The U2UG doesn't own any of these lists. We are the chosen caretakers. Having said all that, there is a move within the board to form a 'what next' committee. It is possible that what's next will be identical to 'what's now' but it may well go in other directions. Just remember that Larry and I moderate the lists as a volunteer activity. *Separately* from that I also happen to be on the U2UG board - also volunteer. We will do the best we can with the time and tools available. The lists are free (as in liberty) and free (as in beer). Hosting and managing them is free (as in free of payment). So long as it is appreciated, I don't mind putting in the time and I *want* your feedback. this topic started because *I* asked. So, let's keep a good face on it and see if we can't guide the list through another few decades of productive use. - Chuck "History Books" Barouch Dave Tabor wrote: Hi, Referring to the U2UG Charter: Bullet #7 --> "To provide a forum for the promotion of excellence in information processing through recognition of individuals who exemplify the best in our profession in their work utilizing the U2 product line."

Dan Fitzgerald wrote: > I did this once by then tweaking an excel file to look right, and > then ftp'ing it back to the server as a template, then populating it > with data & naming it *.xls. I hope you did a Save As XML and used that as a template rather than poking a binary file? This is probably the best, simple, free way to do Excel, especially if your server is *nix. An alternative these days is called Visual Studio Tools for Office, and allows better programmatic control to create Excel or Word docs without Office even being installed on the system. This can be driven from *nix, but of course the code must reside in Windows - I specialize in this sort of inter-system processing and it's an effective way of using the right tools for the job. One can also use a simple comma or tab-delimited file, which seems to be the standard preference among developers because it's simple. I'm of the opinion, sorry folks, that this just sends a message to end-users that we don't know how to do anything better. The good news is that most end-users have come to accept plain text files from IT as being "Excel", so it's tough to complain. Excel is an amazingly powerful tool that more sophisticateed end-users expect to display colors and formatted fields, properly sized columns, charts and multiple worksheets, etc. Many users (feel free to ask them) will spend days reformatting the CSV data they get from their IT people just so it's presentable to management, investors, etc. What do you do if your end-user wants totals highlighted in bold, errors in red, embedded comments to explain the data, or merged cells show a simple heading? I'm not selling anything here, just encouraging people to get the most use out of the tools available. People usually ask for Excel for a reason - getting flat files is easy but may not respond to the true business requirements. Let's make sure people don't blame our MultiValue technology because we give them text files when they ask for GUI. As an example of some Excel work that I've done, please have a look at this product which is no longer offered, but one of these days I might resurrect part of it.
