[U2] PC based UniBasic program editor for 64 bit OS
Can anyone suggest a good editor for 64 bit OS systems that allows people to edit UniBasic programs? I was using HyperEdit by Sunergos Software for many years but I have upgraded my laptop and it will not run. Must have color coded of reserved words if at all possible. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Wyatt ___ U2-Users mailing list U2-Users@listserver.u2ug.org http://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users

I am using vim on 64bit win7 with unibasic.vim plugin. UltraEdit is awesome. I used it for a few years, and can get you a unibasic syntax file. If you dont want to spend any money, I _think Notepad++ has syntax highlighting. http://notepad-plus-plus.org/ ___ U2-Users mailing list U2-Users@listserver.u2ug.org http://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users

Hi Wyatt Rocket have supplied Editor software which is downloadable for free from their website called the Basic Developer Toolkit. Which as the name indicates, it offers more than just an editor. You can download this here: http://www.rocketsoftware.com/u2/downloads/register-basic.html Another good free Editor that I can recommend is called mvDeveloper from Brian Leach Consulting. I use this often for UniVerse development due to its being much more lightweight than the BDT. You can download this here: http://www.brianleach.co.uk/pages/mvdeveloper.htm When I am doing work for customers with other MultiValue flavours I tend to use WED which ships with AccuTerm. As to whether they are 64 bit compatible I do not know. You will have to test and see.

It should be remarked that this Rocket download also requires Eclipse to be loaded.

Re: [U2] PC based UniBasic program editor for 64 bit OS
The latest version of BDT is amazingly fast, and it has a lot of nice features. I have used both BDT and MVDeveloper, both are good. I would encourage you to try both and see which works best for you. The plus with both of these apps is that they are free.

Re: [U2] PC based UniBasic program editor for 64 bit OS
I know I haven't ever posted in here before ... I just lurk and read all the responses. I've actually used mvDeveloper and it works on a 64-bit OS though it is a bit quirky. I've used WED with Accuterm and it works GREAT on a 64-bit OS - this is my preferred method. I use Notepad++ occasionally, but I don't have a syntax file that can be used for UniBasic. Also not sure where to get one, so if someone can post a link, that would be great. I haven't used the Rocket one ... I have started the download and then read the part about Eclipse... don't have that installed :P. Oh well, maybe later. Thanks for all the great advice and info, keep it coming.

Re: [U2] PC based UniBasic program editor for 64 bit OS
Hi: I have sent Wyatt a off list note about our Eclipse based XLr8Editor, so as not earn the ire of everyone on the list without an [ad]. Except for BDT, mvDeveloper, XLr8Editor all of the other products cannot connect to the database, so you really editing your program on either on a shared drive or your local drive. So, rhetorically speaking, how do you compile? You cannot within any of those editors. You can kick off a script, or login in to a telnet session to compile your code. Yuck! Come on guys and gals, get with the program here. Stop looking like a lemming or voles as we call him here in the west. Let's start using state of art tools that can compile our code, or check syntax, or highlight syntax errors, or can edit dictionary in a grid format. All of these must be something that can impress our other DB brethren that we are not just coding in Dartmouth Basic.

Re: [U2] PC based UniBasic program editor for 64 bit OS
Program size means nothing today when I can run Eclipse on a Notebook, or a Mac, or a Windows machine. Megabytes means nothing in today's world. We use to worry that our udt or uv process took a 1/2mb. We now take upwards of 10mb. Buy more memory! Let's try to show users and clients what we can do with NET clients, Web interfaces, iPhone's, Android Phone's and whatever. That is more impressive than comparing how much memory Eclipse takes to run.

Re: [U2] PC based UniBasic program editor for 64 bit OS
Disk space not memory. I don't like helping contribute to code bloat. Our entire ERP code base does not take up 280 megabytes. There's no reason in my mind why an IDE should be so enormous regardless. Any IDE. Let alone one, whose sole purpose for us (U2) is to highlight code. -Original Message- From: Doug Averch To: U2 Users List Sent: Wed, Aug 31, 2011 2:46 pm Subject: Re: [U2] PC based UniBasic program editor for 64 bit OS Program size means nothing today when I can run Eclipse on a Notebook, or a ac, or a Windows machine.

[U2] Is there a UniData SQL equivalent to the UniQuery SAMPLE keyword?
I'm using UniData 6. Is there a UniData SQL equivalent to the UniQuery SAMPLE keyword? Using UniQuery, I've always been able to do: SELECT CUST BY NAME SAMPLE 1 and it would give me a the record with the first alphabetical name. In UniData SQL, I'd like to be able to do something like: SELECT NAME FROM CUST ORDER BY NAME SAMPLE 1; ...or, as in other SQL databases... SELECT TOP 1 NAME FROM CUST ORDER BY NAME; and get just the name of the the customer whose listed first alphabetically.

Re: [U2] PC based UniBasic program editor for 64 bit OS
Eclipse runs as client software. You have plenty of disk space on your workstation. Your workstation CPU is barely registering when you are using any Eclipse based software. If you don't want to use a tool that will save your company money, too bad for you but your boss does. If you are worried about your client machine that cost nothing compared to what an unproductive programmer wastes using antiquated tools, you may not have a job next year. Do you think any twenty-five year old programmer would be caught dead with line editor like AE, ED, VIM, EMACS, Notepad+, or whatever?
