RE: [U2] Green Software -> Green Business
Susan, While the below changes may result in "green" results I tend to believe the main motivation behind most of the changes were monetary not environmental. Every "green" change has monetary benefit to the business owner. 1) Software and Documentation - No CD production costs / No Reams of Paper 2) Don't commute / Employees don't commute -- No office building rent/lease, a/c, water, etc. 3) Travel -- Obvious, however, it may be like me and I like to keep me shoes on in public. =) I think the question is what really motivated the change. Money (and convenience) or "green"? Would you make a "green" change if it *cost you more* money than not going "green". And as a side note, I hate green, the movement, the color. Can't we go blue? The sky is blue, so is the ocean, so is the porn..., damn it, blue is out.

Re: [U2] Green Software -> Green Business
Susan, I've had this up on my screen all day, pondering this topic and your comments on it. While I applaud companies who make concerted efforts for overall betterment in any direction, I have grave concerns over the current "kermit-chrome" movement. If it were about saving the planet, that's something to get behind. But it's not. Rather, it's first and foremost a marketing angle to try to improve perception among an increasingly cynical market. Case in point: I received correspondence from a company touting itself as "going green" with all sorts of platitudes about saving the environment, yada, yada, yada. I would have really appreciated their efforts had this correspondence not been done via a big color catalog. Frankly, the concept of a small software company "going green" and achieving any positive impact (other than the market perception issue) is laughable. While I'm all for making big changes through small moves, I believe the greatest effort to be "green" will pale in comparison to the global positive impact that corporate honesty and integrity could bring. For starters, a company could stop talking about "green" and just do it. At least then there's a chance that they're being honest about it, rather than bastardizing altruistic causes for personal gain. -K --- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/
Re: [U2] CAPTURING TOXML
Thanks to all who responded. After playing with this for a while, I've decided to build the HTML in the UniBasic program. Part of the complication is that the web server is on Linux so I am using a Java Bridge and some Java stubs to get the data into PHP. I have managed to get XML documents to the browser, but parsing it looks like more trouble than just building the HTML in UniBasic. Thanks again.

Re: [U2] Basic SORT() Function not avail in UniVerse?
I don't think that the sort/extract function alone is justification for choosing dim arrays over dynamic arrays in programs. Sure, for large array concepts/projects, DIM will prevail. But IMHO, for data READ/WRITE, dynamic appears just as fast as DIM. Maybe this doesn't apply to large systems with 100's of users. But I recall when the <> replaced the EXTRACT family of commands that typingly incouraged programmers to use MATREAD instead of READ. I've also run into problems with legacy systems where the data in a file exceeds a nominal maximum number of fields and I've spent (wasted) clients time/money changing DIM REC(100) to DIM REC(200). Who knows, in 20 years I'll be the errant programmer when 200 needs to go to 300. If there is a file defining INCLUDE that has the DIM, then it's an easy repair to move forward. If they're DIM'd separately in each program (with differing names), then it's a nightmare and bound to omit one.

Re: [U2] Basic SORT() Function not avail in UniVerse?
This is a little catch-22. Years ago, there was a limit on the number of 'variables' a program had. This, since each element in a DIM array is a variable, you could not DIM REC(10). Thus legacy code may have been forced to use dynamic arrays on large items. Nowadays, we may not be held to any limits (or they are very large). Us programmers tend to stretch the limits of what's available at the time. Thus, knowing all of the programming options (array types, REMOVE, LOCATE, concatenation, work files etc), we can apply the best fit for the issue at hand.

Re: [U2] Basic SORT() Function not avail in UniVerse?
Given my age, I've used many manual sort methods (including bubble) years and years ago. Ever since I could LOCATE with the optional sorting parameter, I've never put a bubble sort in MV programs. VB and QB yes. MV, No. My 2 cents.

RE: [U2] U2U
I took the UniBasic certification (not the Administrator) and I believe it was worth it. I had IBM come to our office to administer the same test to 5 of our Developers too and they all were glad they became certified. >From a business point of view, I believe in order to maintain discounts on purchasing their products you have to have certified people within your organization.

Re: [U2] CAPTURING TOXML
Hi Try using the TO option if that is supported on your release (part of that piecemeal way in which the XML stuff was released). That creates a record in &XML& somename.xml. You can also create a schema to go with it: SELECT * FROM BOOK_TITLES TOXML TO 'titles' WITHSCHEMA; Not sure whether UniQuery has caught up with those features on UDT yet. Brian Hi Charles, Can't comment on Unidata but have done this in Universe and had to jump through some hoops which may assist: 1. Try setting your terminal type to Dumb so that you don't get escape sequences. 2.

[U2] Green Software -> Green Business
This idea is interesting, though. Is this bordering - or boldly going - into an off-topic discussion? Software companies (and departments) are among the types of organizations that can most easily lend themselves to "Kermit-chrome". I can't say that I require payment by Paypal - my customers' are businesses that have accounting departments and pay cycles and all kinds of things that I don't feel are my right to force them to circumvent in order to do business with me. But I do provide the software and the documentation via electronic media, I avoid unnecessary paper, I don't commute and the folks that do work for me also do it from home. I do upgrades and training remotely with more and more use of web-based meetings. So less flying my carbon footprint around (which also conserves my more personal energy!) So far my efforts to go green have been very easy. They corresponded with technology advances, good sense budget monitoring and convenience. That's a triple win! I would be interested in hearing about other companies who are making any efforts and what kind of efforts to go green. Replacing monitors? Lowering the power settings? (I'd have a hard time seeing my laptop screen!) What else is anyone doing or thinking of doing? Curiously and even spuriously yours, Susan J. --- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/

Re: [U2] static/dynamic file(s) opinions wanted!
UniVerse Dynamic files do NOT resize every time they split. They only "resize" a single group at each split. The next group to split is allocated on a round robin basis from group number 1 up to the group number that is the highest power of 2 less than or equal to the current modulus. So, for a large dynamic file, it can be a long interval between when a group is "resized" and the next time it is "resized". This is why we advocate resizing Dynamic files periodically. Yes, they will work OK if you don't. > - Original Message - > From: "JPB-U2UG" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org > Subject: Re: [U2] static/dynamic file(s) opinions wanted! > Date: Thu, 24 Jul 2008 22:23:51 -0500 > > > Tom, The point is that it doesn't work with dynamic files. > David, I don't really think you need to resize dynamic files > because they are always resizing themselves, unless they are not > changing size.
