Re: [U2] Mixed Case UV Basic Programming Standards.
I use camel case in all the languages i program in. In unibasic i have capitalised verbs because i do not have the setting set to allow lowercase verb useage. -Original Message- From: u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org [mailto:u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org] On Behalf Of Charles Stevenson Sent: 24 June 2009 19:39 To: U2 Users List Subject: [U2] Mixed Case UV Basic Programming Standards. I don't like the way I use mixed case, so it tends to evolve. Not good, because consistency in programming style throughout an application makes for easier maintenance, maintainability is the god of software quality. So I am wondering how others use mixed case. Do you capitalize/lower/mix case for commands? Operators? Variables? Equates? etc. How do you use/not use special characters in variable names? For example: readu OrderMaster from ORDER.MASTER, OrderMasterId locked ... readU OE_rec from OE_f, OE_id locked ... ReadVU OE_Date From ORDER.MASTER, OE$Id, OE$Date Locked ... READU order.master.rec( oe$date ) FROM order.master.file, order.master.id LOCKED ... That sort of thing. I hesitate to even ask this for fear of starting a war. So ground rules for this thread: 1. NOT about MERITS of Uppercase only vs. Mixed Case programming. I am only interested in answers from people who actually use mixed case. 2. NOT about GOTO. Take it outside. 3. This is about PREFERENCE, NOT SUBSTANCE. By substantive I mean rules like: - Only open a file once. - Readu should always have a locked clause. By preference I mean stuff like my example. They are all functionally equivalent. 4. NO ARGUMENTS about whether someone's style is good or bad, or yours is better. Explaining why you do it a certain way is helpful, though. Just remember, when it comes to preferences, no two programmers will agree, yet consistent style, whate'er it be, increases maintainability.

Re: [U2] Mixed Case UV Basic Programming Standards.
Hi
I use mixed case using the same capitalization as for Delphi and VB (rather
than camelCase for C# and Java).
OpenSeq
NumberOfFields = DCount(SomeVariable, @FM)
However I use upper case to distinguish things that are 'special' e.g.
equate literals, file and select variables, common variables and compiler
directives. That way they stand out.
I also use upper case for STOP and the main RETURN from an external
subroutine, which helps to distinguish it from the Return from a local
GoSub.
I don't worry about searching since the editors I use are capable of
searching case-independently, and you can always write an IDescriptor to do
an UPCASE(@RECORD) if you want to search in a source file. In fact,
generally I find doing a SELECT with a LIKE clause on that is faster than
using the SEARCH command.
There should be no need to do anything special to format your comments since
any editor worth using will distinguish these (as a bare minimum). I have a
simple 'autodoc' markup in the comments that makes it easy to generate
technical docs.
So, putting it all together:
PROGRAM ShowStuff
*-
* @@Name: ShowStuff
* @@Project : Demo
* (other autodoc header info here)
*-
* @@Info{
*Shows some stuff.
*bAnd some other comments in here with HTML markups/b
* }
*-
* (other autodoc comments here: modifications, keywords, todo etc.
*-
* version stamp goes in here - assigned to a variable so it compiles into
* the object and I can then rip it from the string table.
VERDATA = Version=001002003;
VERDATA:= VerDate=12345;
VERDATA:= VerDesc=Short Description here;
(etc)
*-
$INCLUDE BOOK_TITLES.h
Open BOOK_TITLES To TITLES Else
Crt Cannot open the TITLES File
RETURN
End
Execute SSELECT BOOK_TITLES, SELECT. SLIST
Fin = @False
Loop
ReadNext TitleId From SLIST Else
Fin = @True
End
Until Fin Do
GoSub ShowISBN
Repeat
RETURN
*--
* ShowISBN: show the title id, ISBN and price
*--
ShowISBN:
Read TitleRec From TITLES,TitleId Then
Crt TitleId, TitleRecBOOK_TITLES.ISBN,
OConv(TitleRecBOOK_TITLES.PRICE,MD2)
End
Return
I find it much more legible, since I spent at least half of my life in
client languages. But I understand the point of view of those raised on
upper case only who don't use modern (grin) languages, and may initially
find it confusing. It's just a question of what you're used to.
Incidentally, this has evolved over the years. I started off upper case (no
other choice back then), went to lower case in the 'C/UNIX' age, and then
camelCase before settling on this style. When I go back to older code I can
see that this one works best.
But the main thing is to be consistent with your style and use a good
editor.

Agreed about use of SYSTEM(9001), however as it is not clear on the platform there is one caveat if you are using UniObjects. You may need to ensure that you are using at least UV 10.2.4 as some previous versions did a hang on consecutive calls to this function (Issue 8283). Am not sure when this bug was introduced so you may be ok. phil walker p...@gnosys.co.nz wrote in message news:6806801183013245804b6a7c6b34750715a...@hera.gnosys.local...

the color sensitive editors that may not lock records while two people are in

Re: [U2] Mixed Case UV Basic Programming Standards.
People use something other than ED? For the most part, all programmers
on our staff do use the ED editor but there are a few of us who like the
functions like syntax highlighting, etc. We code in all UPPER case
here. We've had programs around for 30 years so the base programs were
always uppercase and we just stuck with it over the years.

client languages. But I understand the point of view of those raised on
upper case only who don't use modern (grin) languages, and may initially
find it confusing. It's just a question of what you're used to.
Incidentally, this has evolved over the years. I started off upper case
(no
other choice back then), went to lower case in the 'C/UNIX' age, and
then
camelCase before settling on this style. When I go back to older code I
can
see that this one works best.
But the main thing is to be consistent with your style and use a good
editor.

Re: [U2] Mixed Case UV Basic Programming Standards.
Probably ot here - but i was NOT saying it was silly, I agree you can count
on ED and i do use ED / AE every day i am working on a u2 box, but when it
comes to sitting down and writing, or debugging some code i think most
people do use a more visual editor, the one that comes free with u2, (old
unidebugger or the new eclipse based one) does indeed lock the item so no
worries there.
The point I was making is that capitalising certain parts of your code is
not as necessary as it stands out anyway in a visual editor, and also that
such editors allow case insensitive searching as well.

Yeah, no one would be silly enough to still be using ED. Just because you
can count on it being on every client machine since it is delivered with the
standard system. Nobody could possibly be more productive in ED then any of
the color sensitive editors that may not lock records while two people are
in the same record.

An important point there from Brian on editors, yes the editors we use (no
one writes code in ed do they?) will colour highlight verbs, literals,
comments, variables etc + do case insensitive searches..

Hi
I use mixed case using the same capitalization as for Delphi and VB
(rather
than camelCase for C# and Java).
OpenSeq
NumberOfFields = DCount(SomeVariable, @FM)
However I use upper case to distinguish things that are 'special' e.g.
equate literals, file and select variables, common variables and compiler
directives. That way they stand out.
I also use upper case for STOP and the main RETURN from an external
subroutine, which helps to distinguish it from the Return from a local
GoSub.
I don't worry about searching since the editors I use are capable of
searching case-independently, and you can always write an IDescriptor to
do
an UPCASE(@RECORD) if you want to search in a source file. In fact,
generally I find doing a SELECT with a LIKE clause on that is faster than
using the SEARCH command.
There should be no need to do anything special to format your comments
since
any editor worth using will distinguish these (as a bare minimum). I have
a
simple 'autodoc' markup in the comments that makes it easy to generate
technical docs.
So, putting it all together:
PROGRAM ShowStuff
*-
* @@Name: ShowStuff
* @@Project : Demo
* (other autodoc header info here)
*-
* @@Info{
*Shows some stuff.
*bAnd some other comments in here with HTML markups/b
* }
*-
* (other autodoc comments here: modifications, keywords, todo etc.
*-
* version stamp goes in here - assigned to a variable so it compiles into
* the object and I can then rip it from the string table.
VERDATA = Version=001002003;
VERDATA:= VerDate=12345;
VERDATA:= VerDesc=Short Description here;
(etc)
*-
$INCLUDE BOOK_TITLES.h
Open BOOK_TITLES To TITLES Else
Crt Cannot open the TITLES File
RETURN
End
Execute SSELECT BOOK_TITLES, SELECT. SLIST
Fin = @False
Loop
ReadNext TitleId From SLIST Else
Fin = @True
End
Until Fin Do
GoSub ShowISBN
Repeat
RETURN
*--
* ShowISBN: show the title id, ISBN and price
*--
ShowISBN:
Read TitleRec From TITLES,TitleId Then
Crt TitleId, TitleRecBOOK_TITLES.ISBN,
OConv(TitleRecBOOK_TITLES.PRICE,MD2)
End

[U2] wGet question for Robert Porter
Sorry, this is a re-post with a more specific subject I have opted for the wGet method. I give up trying to make any other version work. This one does with one very minor exception. I redirect the output to a type 1 file. Problem is, the filename it creates is 50 characters in length and I can't read or delete it from Universe. Is there an option somehow that I can't see that will let me specifically name that file it gets? At 6/23/2009 04:15 PM, you wrote: I should have mentioned that wget runs on Windows too. I've also heard of cURL. I'm not sure if we started doing stuff like this before cURL came out or not, it's just the particular tool we ended up using for that job and it's useful so we keep using it for more stuff as it comes up. It may or may not be as good as, or better than, cURL, but we haven't yet come across a need for functionality that isn't in wget. Maybe it's just me but I find the callHTTP stuff fiddly and obscure.

Re: [U2] Mixed Case UV Basic Programming Standards.
You're probably right about ED. After all, EDLIN is probably still lurking somewhere in the belly of all that Windows flash and dazzle. Lowest common denominator and all that... After 16 years in the MV world, I've never really learned ED, because I was introduced to Pick/D3 and SB+ at the same time. Since I came to this environment after 9 years on a Wang VS with its modeless editor, SE was the most natural thing to use, and I still do, although I now prefer AccuTerm's WED.

Re: [U2] Unix mail server?
Check out the new demo on Adobe Live Cycle Services. While its cost is too steep for a lot of us (~$100k), Adobe projects some interesting ideas like... when the outside recipient gets the eMail with an Acrobat 9 pdf attachment, clicking on boxes inside the attachment launches into the hosted JEE server Flex app that sends back a clarifying acknowledgement to the original UniData app end-user. While LCS has a slick GUI workflow engine and is an amazing product, I expect that a lot of the functionality can be handled with affordable tools.

Re: [U2] Mixed Case UV Basic Programming Standards.
I didn't know how lucky I was being able to use Brian's MVDeveloper to
code with. I had become dependant on it. It was a great time saver. I
am now working on Univision and using ED, all the programs are in
upper case which I don't mind, but there is no indentation and there
are many statements on one line. The code was last amended around 1984
when GOTO was common practice and GOSUB's with GOSUBS etc. I have had
to purchase Textpad so I can have all the niceties of MVDeveloper.

Hi
I use mixed case using the same capitalization as for Delphi and VB
(rather
than camelCase for C# and Java).
OpenSeq
NumberOfFields = DCount(SomeVariable, @FM)
However I use upper case to distinguish things that are 'special' e.g.
equate literals, file and select variables, common variables and
compiler
directives. That way they stand out.
I also use upper case for STOP and the main RETURN from an external
subroutine, which helps to distinguish it from the Return from a local
GoSub.
I don't worry about searching since the editors I use are capable of
searching case-independently, and you can always write an IDescriptor to
do
an UPCASE(@RECORD) if you want to search in a source file. In fact,
generally I find doing a SELECT with a LIKE clause on that is faster
than
using the SEARCH command.
There should be no need to do anything special to format your comments
since
any editor worth using will distinguish these (as a bare minimum). I
have a
simple 'autodoc' markup in the comments that makes it easy to generate
technical docs.
So, putting it all together:
PROGRAM ShowStuff
*-
* @@Name: ShowStuff
* @@Project : Demo
* (other autodoc header info here)
*-
* @@Info{
*Shows some stuff.
*bAnd some other comments in here with HTML markups/b
* }
*-
* (other autodoc comments here: modifications, keywords, todo etc.
*-
* version stamp goes in here - assigned to a variable so it compiles
into
* the object and I can then rip it from the string table.
VERDATA = Version=001002003;
VERDATA:= VerDate=12345;
VERDATA:= VerDesc=Short Description here;
(etc)
*-
$INCLUDE BOOK_TITLES.h
Open BOOK_TITLES To TITLES Else
Crt Cannot open the TITLES File
RETURN
End
Execute SSELECT BOOK_TITLES, SELECT. SLIST
Fin = @False
Loop
ReadNext TitleId From SLIST Else
Fin = @True
End
Until Fin Do
GoSub ShowISBN
Repeat
RETURN
*--
* ShowISBN: show the title id, ISBN and price
*--
ShowISBN:
Read TitleRec From TITLES,TitleId Then
Crt TitleId, TitleRecBOOK_TITLES.ISBN,
OConv(TitleRecBOOK_TITLES.PRICE,MD2)
End
Return
I find it much more legible, since I spent at least half of my life in
client languages. But I understand the point of view of those raised on
upper case only who don't use modern (grin) languages, and may initially
find it confusing. It's just a question of what you're used to.
Incidentally, this has evolved over the years. I started off upper case
(no
other choice back then), went to lower case in the 'C/UNIX' age, and
then
camelCase before settling on this style. When I go back to older code I
can
see that this one works best.
But the main thing is to be consistent with your style and use a good
editor.

Re: [U2] Using ED
I keep going on about WED, but it has several handy tricks up its sleeve. Highlight a block of text, then click a button to indent (or un-indent) the whole block by one tab distance (whatever you defined that to be). Similarly, entire blocks of text can be commented out (or un-commented) with a click. And always handy for a quick sledge-hammer adjustment to data records, there is the ability to insert value and sub-value marks with a mouse click.

Re: [U2] Mixed Case UV Basic Programming Standards.
For editing, I am happy using UltraEdit from IDMcomp.com. You can choose color
coded syntax to be BASIC - Universe from the view menu. Easy to use; it is a
full screen editor with ftp abilities. Currently UltraEdit alone is priced at
$49.95. IDM's UltraCompare adds another phenomenal tool to your arsenal. If you
ever want to know what changed in code from this version to that, from one
customer to another, this really helps.

Hi
I use mixed case using the same capitalization as for Delphi and VB
(rather
than camelCase for C# and Java).
OpenSeq
NumberOfFields = DCount(SomeVariable, @FM)
However I use upper case to distinguish things that are 'special' e.g.
equate literals, file and select variables, common variables and
compiler
directives. That way they stand out.
I also use upper case for STOP and the main RETURN from an external
subroutine, which helps to distinguish it from the Return from a local
GoSub.
I don't worry about searching since the editors I use are capable of
searching case-independently, and you can always write an IDescriptor to
do
an UPCASE(@RECORD) if you want to search in a source file. In fact,
generally I find doing a SELECT with a LIKE clause on that is faster
than
using the SEARCH command.
There should be no need to do anything special to format your comments
since
any editor worth using will distinguish these (as a bare minimum). I
have a
simple 'autodoc' markup in the comments that makes it easy to generate
technical docs.
So, putting it all together:
PROGRAM ShowStuff
*-
* @@Name : ShowStuff
* @@Project : Demo
* (other autodoc header info here)
*-
* @@Info{
* Shows some stuff.
* bAnd some other comments in here with HTML markups/b
* }
*-
* (other autodoc comments here: modifications, keywords, todo etc.
*-
* version stamp goes in here - assigned to a variable so it compiles
into
* the object and I can then rip it from the string table.
VERDATA = Version=001002003;
VERDATA:= VerDate=12345;
VERDATA:= VerDesc=Short Description here;

Re: [U2] Unix mail server?
As been suggested, the alias pipe is probably the best option for a simple mail capturing solution. This will mean configuring an MTA (I can help with Postfix) on the U2 server. You will need to manually parse the envelope, though, unless you stick a MIME extractor in the middle. You could do most of the message body extraction in a Perl script and then dump a formatted request to a processing spool for your phantom(s) to pick up and handle. Firing off a phantom directly is never a good idea, IMO. If your mail queue gets hung up one day and you fix it without taking precautions, then the MTA will assault your U2 processes until they cry 'uncle'.

Re: [U2] Using ED
Back in the early 90's, I had a stint working with Unidata, and I became addicted to the AE editor. It's virtually identical to ED but has a few really nice enhancements. Things like the EV command and the global searches with the / command instead of C/SOMETHING/SOMETHING/999. I was in heaven when AE was added to UV. I write tons of code in UV Basic, and I've done lots of programming in GUI environments too. I honestly don't feel that using AE slows me down one bit. There are times when some C commands get tedious, but cut and paste at the windows end deals with that. AE has the FOR command, that does all the indenting for you. It also flips all of your labels to uppercase. I do a fair bit of searching through entire *files* of programs looking for uses of database fields, files or variables using the TCL SEARCH command. All uppercase helps there. Dave Barrett, Lawyers' Professional Indemnity Company ___ U2-Users mailing list U2-Users@listserver.u2ug.org http://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users

Thanks for the responses. I was trying to use the tools built into UniVerse rather than parse through everything which I have done on past projects. I feel the XML.TODB program or the XMLTODB function should be able to handle this no problem but seems to have an issue with multiple records. I tested this on multiple UniVerse levels including 10.3.0. I ended up writing a program that uses an XMAP file and with a combination of XMAPOPEN, XMAPREADNEXT, AND XMAPCLOSE I could get the data into Universe.

A sample layout might be something like: albums album album_ID/ album_title/ album_total_runtime/ album_total_tracks/ tracks track number=1 track_ID/ track_title/ track_artist/ /track track number=2 track_ID/ track_title/ track_artist/ /track /tracks album /albums What I'm trying to do is have an ALBUMS file and a TRACKS file. I want a single record in the ALBUMS file for each album and a record in the TRACKS file for each track. Essentially every album record in the XML will product one ALBUMS record and potentially multiple TRACKS records. The trouble I'm having is getting more than one TRACKS record. I'm wondering if anyone has ever tried this before and how their experience went. I end up with just one TRACKS record with the first iteration. Is what I'm trying even possible? I've opened a case with IBM as well but figured maybe one of you has been in this situation before. - Josh ___ U2-Users mailing list U2-Users@listserver.u2ug.org http://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users ___ U2-Users mailing list U2-Users@listserver.u2ug.org http://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users ___ U2-Users mailing list U2-Users@listserver.u2ug.org http://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users ___ U2-Users mailing list U2-Users@listserver.u2ug.org http://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users ___ U2-Users mailing list U2-Users@listserver.u2ug.org http://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users
Re: [U2] Unix mail server? [ad]
Ed - Your description describes the raison d'être of NebulaMail. You'll find a link to this and other POP3/IMAP solutions here: http://www.pickwiki.com/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?SendAnEmail Due to ever decreasing demand for tools (despite high demand for solutions), I haven't kept NebulaMail up to date on U2. So if you really need a pure BASIC POP3 solution for U2 then some time will be required to get this product back up to speed. I highly recommend that everyone remember PickWiki.com and do a search there before posting to forums. You can significantly jumpstart your queries by coming to the table with a list of solutions to compare and contrast. I've already created a link in that SendAnEmail page to this thread so others who visit the wiki will benefit from the suggestions and wisdom provided here. That's the way a wiki works. And for anyone else who has interest in helping to keep that resource current and rich, information is on the site and you can email me for details. It's really VERY simple...

Our rs/6000 receives the email and put it somewhere. 4.

Re: [U2] What Program Am I?
From: HENDERSON MIKE From (IIRC) 10.0 onwards, there's the SYSTEM(9001) pseudo-variable which contains the UV CALL Stack. It's formatted a bit funny, but there may be a routine on the Pickwiki to make it a sensible format. That reminds me: PickWiki also mentions the UD program CALL.STACK and a UV program called LAYER.STACK. An old U2 forum post suggests using a command like: PORT.STATUS PID 9 CALL.STACK which for UV might be PORT.STATUS PID 9 LAYER.STACK ? Refs: http://www.mail-archive.com/u2-users%40listserver.u2ug.org/msg173 14.html http://www.pickwiki.com/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?ViewCallStack Does any of that apply to the OP request?

Re: [U2] Using ED
The EV command in AE is a lifesaver when looking at MV data ! -Original Message- From: u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org [mailto:u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org] On Behalf Of David A Barrett Sent: 25 June 2009 20:45 To: u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org Subject: Re: [U2] Using ED Back in the early 90's, I had a stint working with Unidata, and I became addicted to the AE editor. It's virtually identical to ED but has a few really nice enhancements. Things like the EV command and the global searches with the / command instead of C/SOMETHING/SOMETHING/999. I was in heaven when AE was added to UV. I write tons of code in UV Basic, and I've done lots of programming in GUI environments too. I honestly don't feel that using AE slows me down one bit. There are times when some C commands get tedious, but cut and paste at the windows end deals with that. AE has the FOR command, that does all the indenting for you. It also flips all of your labels to uppercase. I do a fair bit of searching through entire *files* of programs looking for uses of database fields, files or variables using the TCL SEARCH command. All uppercase helps there.

Re: [U2] Using EditPlus [was Using ED]
Yes, easily - 1 of 4 different ways I can think of off the top of my head - either: 1. Highlight the block and press Ctrl-I (In Preferences, have your tabs set to use spaces instead of the tab character - Set tab to be 4 spaces or whatever your preferred indent size is). 2. Highlight the block then use the Edit,Format, Fill selection - this will add whatever text or spaces you choose to the start of a highlighted block. I have a shortcut key assigned as I use this function all the time. Normally for adding a block of repeating comments like !! TODO FIX THIS BUG !! 3. Use the column select feature (Alt+C or Alt+Mouse clickdrag) then press the tab key - it will indent as many times as you press the key (Same as Ctrl I really but you can do this in the middle of a line to space out end of line comments for example). 4. Use the regular expression function of search/replace: Search For ^(.) Replace with \t\1 Also useful if you only want to indent code but not lines starting with a comment charater for example. I have to say EditPlus is absolutely brilliant. It's a virtual IDE - you can plug in pretty much any tool you want. I have it set to compile (but not debug yet) from a keystroke. The facilities like regex, macros, column select and folder search are fantastic.
