Re: [U2] QSORT (Or something like that)
I probably ought to qualify the importance of speed here. We use QSORT to sort thousands of entries, with a dozen or more associated arrays. QSORT's relative speed doesn't drop with heavy volume as some sort routines can. We've all probably written sort routines, implementing various algorithms, and most work well if the load is light. It's when the load is heavy that the best algorithms really shine. No, I don't work for Tony, and he's not paying me to say this. I wouldn't mind a beer if our paths cross, though, Tony.

Thus, people asking for help and insight (on this list) probably want to know why others choose to go (or not go) in certain directions. Yet, in the end, what they really want is a recommended fix.

I understand it as well. However, the dearth of device-independent printer support in Linux/Unix environments limits the options. Let me sugget some modifications to your philosophy. 1) You have already removed some tasks from your server, most likely, into freestanding "appliances", such as routers, firewalls, and possibly network storage devices. In fact, one could argue that this creates a MORE robust approach, because changes to your AIX system, for instance, are less likely to inadverantly affect their operation. That's a bit of a stretch isn't it? Our AIX machine has gone through hardware upgrades but we've always used our "mksysb" tape to transfer the operating system to the new box and then upgraded AIX to stay compatible with the newest UniData. Again, not a single infestation or root-kit since it's installation in 2001. So we have nine years of solid 24/7 performance from our AIX platform. I have Linux machines that have run as web servers and desktops and there has not been one infection since 2000 when I got my first RedHat liunx CD. Even my children only have linux Desktops. On the other hand, our windows PC have been infected and reinfected with various viruses and spyware programs that, among other things, cripple normal network connections. We do have network filtering and Symantec but there are so many exploits for Windows that it's impossible to avoid. Our systems manager routinely has to do fresh windows installations to eliminate the viruses. The latest outbreak propagated itself through the default share on the target PC by assuming System user privileges. Our systems manager is still cleaning this up. He's manually upgrading every PC in the company to SP3. We are considering making more changes to Print Wizard in order to make it more able to function as a "printing appliance", sitting between the server and the printer. For totally non-interactive tasks, this could be an option. Great idea. Create a rack-mount unit that is completely secure and you'll have a product that could be vertically integrated. 2) If you are running Windows PCs as clients, using either terminal emulation or a GUI front end, then consider the possibility of a print job as a client task. Maybe not for printing thousands of invoices, but for more personalized jobs. We have most of our forms going to networked printers. Picking tickets print in the appropriate warehouse office, Packing lists print near the people who prepare the shipping documents for the customer and our invoices go to either the corporate office invoice printer, a pdf email, a flat file transfer or a text email. For example, some of our users will generate a purchase order on the server, feed it to the client, through Print Wizard, to generate a PDF of the PO. Print Wizard creates an email message with the PO as an attachment, and might also attach other files and documents to the email. Then it opens the email (in Outlook or in our own window) and allows the user to customize and personalize the email. They can enter recipient information, subject, body text, additional recipients, etc., and also attach other files. A similar process can be used for faxing. It seems like your product is really geared for the small office environment but wouldn't scale well to a company with hundreds of users. I figured out years ago that there are MANY ways, combinations, and permuations people want to do print-related tasks, and we continue to expand the number of them that Print Wizard can address.

We are considering making more changes to Print Wizard in order to make it more able to function as a "printing appliance", sitting between the server and the printer. For totally non-interactive tasks, this could be an option. 2) If you are running Windows PCs as clients, using either terminal emulation or a GUI front end, then consider the possibility of a print job as a client task. Maybe not for printing thousands of invoices, but for more personalized jobs. For example, some of our users will generate a purchase order on the server, feed it to the client, through Print Wizard, to generate a PDF of the PO. Print Wizard creates an email message with the PO as an attachment, and might also attach other files and documents to the email. Then it opens the email (in Outlook or in our own window) and allows the user to customize and personalize the email. They can enter recipient information, subject, body text, additional recipients, etc., and also attach other files. A similar process can be used for faxing. I figured out years ago that there are MANY ways, combinations, and permuations people want to do print-related tasks, and we continue to expand the number of them that Print Wizard can address.

Re: [U2] Print Wizard on Linux

All my third party software (VsiFax, Optio eComIntegrate and MITS) run on this same server. I purposefully avoid distributing any mission critical function, such as form printing, to another server regardless of the platform. I believe that the more complex a setup is the more opportunity there is for failure. With this in mind I would not have even considered your product in my environment since it cannot run on AIX. Your product would also not be recommended by our ERP vendor (Activant) either for the same reasons. Perhaps I'm not alone in this system management philosophy. That's my 2c.

Subject: Re: [U2] SB Dict with User Subroutine and TCL
If the first parameter of your subroutine is the return value then you can just
use a SB+ derived field like: I(SUBR('SYSS9075.1','VIA',SHIP_VIA))
Your subroutine should look like this:
Subroutine SYSS9075.1(retVal,type,shipVia)
Etc

I need help building a SB Dict that calls a User Subroutine with several
arguments. This needs to work from both within SB screens and from TCL.
Originally, I have a derived field defined as:
(B("SYSS9075.1,'VIA',SHIP_VIA"))
where SYSS9075.1 had three arguments, 'VIA' was hard coded and SHIP_VIA was
whatever value was in that field (in this case, field 10). This worked fine
from TCL, but SB was blowing up with an error about incorrect number of
arguments (and would likely not have a clue what SHIP_VIA meant).
I then tried:
(B("SYSS9075.1,'VIA','10'"))
where SYSS9075.1 had no arguments, and extract the info from PARAMS. This
works from SB screens, but I am clueless how to pass the arguments in the DICT
used at TCL.
Any Gurus out there have a suggestion or two?

Re: [U2] OPENSEQ and Abnormal termination of UV
Wol >In BASIC, *EVERYTHING* is a string (apart from file variables). >Therefore any comparison should be valid. To be more precise, no. UniVerse Basic is a run-time typed language (like PHP) not a string language. So it gets the performance and storage benefits of real types, and coerces between types under the cover. If you say For I = 1 To 10, and examine I in the debugger, you will see that it is an integer, not a string. If you later say I="FRED" it will be coerced into a string, as will I := "FRED" or I<2> = "FRED". In addition to file variables, there are plenty other structures that are not coercible into strings: select list handles (from EXECUTE statement, SELECT. > SOMELIST), XML DOM handles and BCI context handles to name but a few. It may seem pedantic, but these distinctions are important when selling the benefits of language like UniVerse Basic. The word 'untyped' offends some sectors of the programming community. 'run-time typed' is generally more acceptable. (and it's funny how many developers sneer at the first mention of these, until you follow up with the PHP analogy.. and suddenly they see the light).

Re: [U2] re ceiving error message XX record corrupt on logto
Hi Susan In your logto script try adding CLEARCOMMON then LOGIN so that you go in cleanly. You can add a Logto subroutine in SB+, go to the Admin screen, SB+ Setup, SB+ Control Parameters, F9 Logto Sub. I've experienced this error when logging between accounts from different versions of SB+ (different COMMON blocks).
