One more note on this, just to make it a bit more robust...
If there is any likelihood of the "E" being lower case ("e"), then
replace var in both cases with OCONV(var,'MCU').
Also, if you copy/paste it into the editor, you may have to double up
the ^ character or the editor thinks it's a prefix for a numeric
character value.
Enjoy!

RE: [U2] UniSubroutine question with UOJ
It probably runs as a phantom, and therefore follows the same rules. I don't think there is a way to turn that on or off. You could just write to a file, then view the result elsewhere. I created a type 19 file which looks just like a directory to windows / unix apps. In there I create files and give the appropriate file extension so the when clicked open, even to the point of having a U2 program create a 'bat' file run by Windows scheduler.. and we're on a linux machine. If you do want the data to show up in UniData, then write to a file, and let another U2 proggie poll that file, or add a trigger to pick up that something new is there, anything found can be displayed. Hope I didn't miss the point there.. -Original Message- I use the UniSubroutine object of Uinobject For Java to call a subroutine with Unidata. But if I have any CRT or PRINT command inside Unidata Subroutine, it will mess up the UniSubroutine call. Basically, it runs but returns nothing.

[U2] Scientific Notation
Good Day All! Does anyone know of a UniData function or ICONV option to convert scientific notation to a decimal number. We are receiving some numbers in an XML packet from a 3rd party where sometimes Scientific Notation is used, instead of a decimal value. For example, instead of 5 cents coming in from the XML as ".05", the XML contains "4.89E-02". This is due to a percentage calculation in a SQL data base.

[U2] Vista and UniAdmin followup

[U2] Vista and UniAdmin problems
I installed the latest client set when I installed the latest UniVerse PE on my new VISTA Business edition pc. I can login to our Live system and our test system (both Linux boxes), just fine however the number of licenses used shows 1 and users logged in 1. On our test box we have device licensing with 6 user license 10.2.4 on our live box we have 10.1.12 with 117 users. The only thing it shows correctly is the license information. I was trying to get away with installing several versions. Any one else had a problem with UniAdmin and Vista? I also had problems with UniDebugger saying I didn't have UniObjects installed until I loaded the prior released. Going to drop down to a lower revision of UniAdmin and see if that corrects the problem.

[U2] Re: [u2] version control
Brian, Jerry, and everyone. It is possible to implement source code control that is "transparent" to the programmer yet capable of supporting complex development and production scenarios with tools and utilities that were designed and written entirely in an MV / Pick / U2 environment. NuControl from Binary Star offers an easily implemented version control solution that will manage multiple projects and multiple libraries (code, working and backup), across multiple systems. It supports basic code, segments, scripts, function libraries, configuration data, DICTS, etc. Compare, rollback, release, etc. I'd be happy to demonstrate NuControl from Binary Star can do, including full life-cycle management (promotion). It's easy to use and comes with a full screen, color highlighted "programmer's editor". For details: http://www.nuwiki.com/cgi-bin/nuwiki.cgi?display=ABOUT%20SCCS (NuControl supports ALL modern mv environments including UniVerse, UniData, D3, QM Professional and Reality (Northgate). Lee Bacall binarystar.com PRC which is Susan Joslyn's product, offers a unique and capable solution for (and requiring) System Buiilder. http://www.sjplus.com - Original Message - From: "Brian Leach" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Sent: Thursday, April 17, 2008 9:29 AM Subject: RE: [U2] version control > Jerry et al > > I would say good version control - like all code management - is a skill. > > And more so the more diverse your code base.
