Re: [U2] [UV] Do you avoid TRIGGERS because of the difficulty using DEBUG or RAID with them? Was: Universe Triggers
Trigger are useful to find programs that update files incorrectly. When this happens, I create a trigger that will create a sequential file with the content of SYSTEM(9001) on Universe in order to identify the chain of calling programs.

Have one master file trigger subroutine (globally catalogued) that calls subroutines (locally catalogued) tailored to individual files. This means you don't have to stop and restart Universe when a new trigger is required or a change to an existing one. If the master subroutine changes, you do have to restart Universe. 2. Use a control record that records the subroutine name and state of the trigger for each file having a trigger. 3. Use a program to change the state of a trigger, using the control records in 2 above. 4. Make sure all background processes that have a file with a trigger open are logged out when recompiling the subroutine for that file trigger. 5. Remember that you can't do anything to a file with an active trigger whilst in the RAID debugger (it will crash). Rather, if you are testing a file trigger subroutine, drop the trigger and use a trigger testing program that calls the subroutine after taking a copy of the record being changed, pausing whilst you change it in another session, and then resuming, calling the subroutine. If you would like samples of any of the software mentioned above, let me know, and I can send them to you.

Re: [U2] [U2[UV] @TIME and TIME() not reliable
Hello, Has anyone else here observed this behavior for Universe 11.1.3 on a OS other than HP-UX ? Sometimes, @TIME will report an incorrect internal time. When I first observed this behavior, I changed my use of @TIME for a call to TIME(). It fixed the problem on one HP-UX server I was working on, but when I installed the program on a different HP-UX server, TIME() now sometimes reported an incorrect internal time. For example, it was around 6:00 am but the time reported was for about 4:00 am. I fixed the problem on that server by replacing TIME() by ICONVS(TIMEDATE()[1,8],MTS) We have a setup for temporary locks that expire after a given time these temporary locks were being created as already expired. It's a problem when a server can't determine the correct internal time. Thanks Jacques G. ___ U2-Users mailing list U2-Users@listserver.u2ug.org http://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users

Re: [U2] QSORT (Or something like that)
Hello, I adapted a Heapsort algorithm a while back that I had obtained from a book (Turbo Algorithms circa 1989). The original had been written in Turbo Basic or Turbo Pascal, I forget which. I adapted it so that I could use work dimmed arrays (even if they were smaller than the dynamic arrays I was sorting). This was to take advantage of the faster access time to access a dimmentionned array. The dynamic array was basically folded on the dimmentionned array. For example, if I wanted to sort 100,000 items I could use a dimmed matrix of 10,000 items. It is fairly fast however I've only used in one shot data migration project so use at your own risk.

Re: [U2] OPENSEQ and Abnormal termination of UV
If your file is opened, then comparing it to an empty string is what will cause an invalid data type error. WHY!!! If the datatypes don't match, then the result of the comparison is FALSE, not INVALID. It is logically correct to do such a comparison. The result I am looking for is the logically correct response. It SHOULD NOT crash the program! And it worked fine on INFORMATION, why not UV? It is a bad idea to allow it, it encourages bad programming practices and it can hide a bug in your program for example if you do: READ CAR FROM CARS ELSE CAR = '' IF CARS # '' THEN Here what was intended was to compare CAR to '' not CARS but having the S there is a typo. If we don't allow datatypes of different types being compared this bug has a greater chance of getting caught during development because the program will fail on comparing the file to a null string. If you use FILEINFO it shows that you know that the variable you are testing is a file. I've seen a similar case where a subroutine was expecting: SUBROUTINE ABC (MAT A, MAT B, MAT C) A programmer only needed the contents of the matrix B and C to call it and did: CALL ABC(,MAT B, MAT C) Only thing Matrix ABC puts something in MAT A and since the programmer passed an empty string what happens is that the content of Matrix B is over-written causing data corruption. It would probably have been a good idea to detect that since a Matrix was expected, it shouldn't be legal to pass a dynamic array to the subroutine. Most modern OOP programming languages don't allow for types of different kinds to be compared to one another without some way of casting them. ___ U2-Users mailing list U2-Users@listserver.u2ug.org http://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users

You want to do instead: IF FILEINFO(FVAR,0) = 0 THEN Or: OPEN FILE TO FVAR THEN FLAG.OPEN = 1 ELSE FLAG.OPEN = 0 IF FLAG.OPEN THEN One error I've seen: READ CUSTOMER FROM CUSTOMER THEN...

Re: [U2] OPENSEQ and Abnormal termination of UV
Using dimmed matrixes is still a lot faster. If you have a dynamic array of 10,000 items and you wantA9995 when you extract it, it will parse the whole until it passes 9994 @AM then it will extract whatever is between the 9994 and 9995. Having it in a dynamic array is like having a pointer to each @AM position. This is why the REMOVE command was added for when a dynamic array is processed within a for loop. The REMOVE command keeps track of the position of the last AM, VM, SVM used. One exemple: DIM B(10) A = CONVERT(],@AM,AA]BB]]) MATPARSE B FROM A USING @AM B now has a pointer to each of the 4 elements of 4: B(1) - AA B(2) - B B(3) - B(4) - When you want the third row, you don't have to pass through the contents of B(1) and B(2) you have a pointer to the start of the string that contains . I've used dimmed matrixes to speed sorts and binary search algorithms. One other advantage of a dimmed matrix is that you can use it to pass several files as arguments to a subroutine. With a dynamic array it can only be a file or a string. You don't change a subroutine's signature if you pass call MYSUB(MAT FILES,MAT ARGV_IN, MAT ARGV_OUT) This way you can add to the number of files and arguments of a subroutine without changing the number of arguments. With dynamic arrays you would have to add more arguments to add more files. Ei from: CALL MYSUB(FILE1, ARGV_IN, ARGV_OUT) to CALL MYSUB(FILE1, FILE2, ARGV_IN, ARGV_OUT) This means each program calling MYSUB has to be modified. - Original Message From: John Hester jhes...@momtex.com To: U2 Users List u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org Sent: Tue, May 18, 2010 3:31:25 PM Subject: Re: [U2] OPENSEQ and Abnormal termination of UV Reading my own response just made me realize what's going on. I think Jerry's response was right. I remember many years ago (I won't say how many) when we were on much slower hardware, explaining to a coworker that it was better to use dimensioned arrays when possible because they were faster to populate than dynamic arrays. The reason they're faster is because the necessary space for them is already reserved in memory. A dynamic array has to go out and find add'l memory each time you add to it. Looks like putting a sequential file in a dimensioned array makes it go out and reserve a block of memory the size of the entire file.

Re: [U2] Regex searching UD files
I found a way to do it with compiled dictionary elements (on UV).
1- I create a dictionnary element called EGREP.ARGS that always returns X:
0001: I
0002: X[1,1]
0003:
0004: EGREP.ARGS
0005: 1L
0006: M
2- I create a dictionnary element called EGREP which is defined like this:
0001: I
0002: SUBR(DICT.EGREP,@RECORD,@ID,@SENTENCE)
0003:
0004: EGREP
0005: 40L
0006: M
DICT.EGREP is defined like this:
SUBROUTINE DICT.EGREP(OUT,RECORD,ID,SENTENCE)
COM /WORKF/WORKF
IF FILEINFO(WORKF,0) = 0 THEN
OPEN , WORK.FILE TO WORKF ELSE STOP 201, WORK.FILE ;* A type 19 file
on Universe (pointer to a directory)
END
STATUS STAT FROM WORKF ELSE STOP
PATH = STAT27
*--- Extract the arguments for egrep from cmd line ---*
ARG.PFX = EGREP.ARGS NE
POS.EGREP = INDEX(SENTENCE,ARG.PFX,1) + LEN(ARG.PFX) + 1
EGREP.ARG = SENTENCE[POS.EGREP,LEN(SENTENCE)-POS.EGREP+1]
EGREP.ARG = EGREP.ARG[1,INDEX(EGREP.ARG,EGREP,1)-1]
EGREP.ARG = CONVERT('','',EGREP.ARG)
TMP.KEY = egrep.tmp ;* Using temporary key not ID to avoid problems (ei:
spaces, parentheses etc)
WRITE RECORD ON WORKF, TMP.KEY ;* Write rec to temp. file
CMD = cd :PATH: ; egrep :EGREP.ARG: :TMP.KEY
EXECUTE SH -c :QUOTE(CMD) CAPTURING OUT
DELETE WORKF, TMP.KEY;* Remove record
RETURN
This is how I do my search:
LIST MYFILE WITH EGREP.ARGS NE -in blahblah EGREP
(This will do the equivalent of egrep -in blahblahblah MYFILE if MYFILE was a
type 19 file)
This method writes only one record at a time and deletes it so while it is slow
(1 write + a sh executed per record), it will work with limited space available
and it uses the Unix egrep command. The arguments to the egrep command are
parsed from the sentence between EGREP.ARGS NE and EGREP.

Subject: [U2] Regex searching UD files
I've written a small utility to be able to run egrep on a UD file (not
UD directory), however its implementation is not ideal.
Essentially, I select the file I'm searching, writing each record one at
a time to a temp UNIX file and running egrep on it as follows
!egrep -q -f MyTempRegexFile MyTempRecordFile ; echo $?
Where MyTempRegexFile is a file containing the desired regex pattern
stored earlier and MyTempRecordFile is a file name unique to each user.
My problem with it is that I have to do a READ on each record, followed
by a WRITE then have egrep read it in as well. That's a lot of seemingly
unneeded disk IO if I could only stream the record to egrep without have
to do a WRITE after the READ.
Any ideas? I feel I'm missing something quite obvious.
Regards,
Dan

You can write the equivalent of the egrep command in Pick basic that you could call from the TCL.

Re: [U2] UV to SAP migration disaster
An IBM vendor went to a company I used to work for to try to get them to dump their current Unidata database and switch to DB2, how much new and better it was. One of the advantages he listed was IBM support. So one guy in our IT department told him: You really don't know anything about Unidata do you ? So the vendor asked him what he meant by that. So he told him: Unidata's an IBM product currently supported by IBM. You didn't even know that. What kind of credibility can you expect to have in listing DB2's advantages Unidata if you didn't even know that ? It's not a good thing when a guy in a company bashes his own company's product.

[U2] Re: [UV] Passing a string when a Matrix is expected
I came accross a case in legacy code where a subroutine is defined to accept some matrixes as parameter ei: SUBROUTINE FOOBAR(TXT, MAT A, MAT B, MAT C, MAT D, OPTION) One of the calling programs that makes use of this subroutine does this: CALL FOOBAR(HELLO, , , , , WORLD) Instead of passing a matrix, it is passing an empty string. The result is that in FOOBAR, matrixes A, B, C and D are of size zero. In FOOBAR there is code that does: MATBUILD REC.A FROM A USING CHAR(1) Now the MATBUILD command on a matrix of size zero is giving me an undefined variable in a test program I wrote but in the program in production, it is giving me the content of a variable in the program. I was wondering if there is a way to detect if a matrix is of size zero in Unibasic. --- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/
Re: [U2] [UV] Config parameter for the READU
Hi, There is a note from IBM on this: 119628. It mentions that we can't inquire as to the value of SYSTEM(1999) to know if it has been turned off or not as it will always report zero. So it looks like we will have to turn it off to make sure. It may explain some anomalies. I previously thought it was turned off because I had done a small program that would do this: CRT SYSTEM(1999) and it would print zero. - Original Message From: Martin Phillips martinphill...@ladybridge.com To: u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org Sent: Friday, March 20, 2009 6:09:46 PM Subject: Re: [U2] [UV] Config parameter for the READU Hi Jacques, If the value of SYSTEM(1999) is set to zero does that mean that this featured is turned off and that the READU will wait however long it takes to get the lock or does it mean it is set to the default 3600 waiting value ?

There is but it is horrendous because, when it times out, the program takes the ELSE clause so that it thinks it owns the lock. I have appended a copy of a posting from Charles Stephenson on this topic back in 2002 below. If you are looking for a simple timeout that effectively gives a delayed entry to the LOCKED clause, there is no such feature though you can manufacture it from other components.

This parameter says that if a LOCKED clause is missing, after [LOCK.WAIT] seconds, then ignore the lock and proceed with the ELSE clause ! ? ! ? ! Until now, the workaround for this feature has been to turn off by setting the parameter to 0, typically via ASSIGN 0 TO SYSTEM(1999) typically from a program executed from UV.LOGIN, the routine in uv/VOC that everyone hits when they enter the universe shell. --- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/ --- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/

Subject: RE: [U2] [UV] HP, Cron, Como, Execute, Capturing . Not
Thanks for responses so far.
Scott - this code is also doing 'ls', and the output gets
captured in COMO as you have seen, but it doesn't continue into
the Capturing var. At least we can confirm COMO is supposed to
see the output (for better or worse) but not at the expense of
BASIC not seeing it.
I'm wondering if this is an OS-specific issue where UV/HP is
capturing in COMO but not in Capturing, or maybe this is only
occurring when run through Cron. They could be doing something
like this too:
echo PHANTOM RUNREPORT | uv
...with the phantom being the platform-specific culprit.
I'll get the details and report back, then maybe someone with the
same platform here can check this before we file a bug report.

From: Scott Ballinger
I do this all the time on UV 10.1.4 on RH AS 3. I have
not seen a conflict with COMO and EXECUTE CAPTURING,
except that the COMO records the results of the
execute as well as the CAPTURING variable. E.g.
EXECUTE SH -c 'ls' CAPTURING DIR.LIST
Not only does DIR.LIST contain all the files in the
directory, but the COMO records them as well, making
for very verbose COMO files!
Note that I have not tried the combination of cron +
COMO + EXECUTE CAPTURING {+ PHANTOM?} so perhaps there
is something going on there, but I do use cron +
EXECUTE CAPTURING in many places without problems.

Re: [U2] [UV] Deadlock report ?

Re: [U2] To DIM a passed Matrix or not ?
In Universe, it isn't necessary to DIM a matrix that has been passed in a subroutine. Just to clarify what I meant here. The DIM or COM is still done but it is done in the calling program. It isn't neccessary to dim it in the SUBROUTINE in Universe. __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

RE: [U2] [UV] GOSUB variable-name?
On a more serious note...If this is done correctly, I don't think it would be very difficult at all to support. If someone who didn't design the system has to maintain it, it is difficult to find out which programs are impacted by a change into one of the subroutines. In normal calls, one can search for CALL ROUTINE.NAME but when CALL @VARIABLE is used, it is difficult to find out, short of creating a trace in the subroutine that records SYSTEM(9001) over a period of time (even then, its no garantee that the period of time will be sufficient to identify all of the calling programs). __ Do You Yahoo!?

Re: [U2] Justification for removal of savedlists
If it is at its default of ON, you save a command stack every time you log out. These are saved with a name of S.username.userno. The theory is that when you log back in, the system can reload your stack and you carry on as Isn't there a limit that can be set in Universe as to how much of a stack history is kept ? I just don't see people doing .L 200 to re-run a command they did 5 years ago. One place I've worked at had this standard. If a program creates a SAVEDLISTS for a task, it or the program the list is destined for must delete it when it is done with it. Adherance to this rule would leave save lists made by users by hand and the stack stuff mentionned above. __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

[U2] RE: [UV] Universe on RedHat (which version to use ?)
I've downloaded the evaluation version of Universe for RedHat Linux. It seems to be destined for RedHat version 7.1. Does this mean that it will not work with more recent versions such as 8.0 or 9.0 ? If it will work, I'd rather have a newer RedHat than an older version. __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

RE: [U2] [UV] Create hashed file in subdirectory?
I tried a few things to arrive at this syntax for Pick flavor: CREATE.FILE DATA TEMP.JAG,TRAVAIL.KK 503,1,16 (Modulo,Separation,Type) The problem I had was when I do: HELP CREATE.FILE at the TCL level I only get examples for a different flavor. Those examples had spaces instead of commas. I have the PDF files, but tend to use the HELP command instead.

RE: [U2] [UD] BASIC LOCKs
PORT.STATUS will let you know if a PHANTOM is running, but you either have to be root or you have to change the permissions to allow you to see this. The Universe function GET.USERS will also let you know if a phantom is running. It also has the advantage that it won't give you the message: Another PORT.STATUS is running.

It is part of Universe. The source for that function is in: APP.PROGS under the name: GET.USERS.B Its parameters are: SUBROUTINE GET.USERS(PI.USERS,MAX.PI.USERS,SYS.USERS,USER.INFO, CODE) The variable USER.INFO can be exploited thus: NB.US = DCOUNT(USER.INFO,@AM) ;* Number of users FOR US = 1 TO NB.US PORT = USER.INFOUS,1 USERID = USER.INFOUS,2 PID= USER.INFOUS,3 TERM.TYPE = USER.INFOUS,4 ;* Terminal or Phantom NEXT US We asked UV support whether we could use SYSTEM(1302) directly and were told we shouldn't as it isn't documented yet. The GET.USERS function though can be used and will be supported, there is just no garantee that in future versions it will still use SYSTEM(1302) to feed it though. --- Anthony Dzikiewicz [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I didn't know about GET.USERS.

RE: [U2] [UD] BASIC LOCKs
However on that same machine that shows only 'me', a PORT.STATUS does show everything ? For PORT.STATUS it must have certain permission bits set. (+s if I remember correctly) otherwise it only shows the jobs of the user running PORT.STATUS. It's quite possible that whatever program is feeding the info into SYSTEM(1302) also needs similar permissions to be set. It might be possible to determine what that program is by comparing the permissions of the uv executables of the Linux system that displays it all versus the one that does not. __ Yahoo! for Good - Make a difference this year. http://brand.yahoo.com/cybergivingweek2005/ --- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/
Re: [U2] Using Esc
We've had code in place for nearly 20 years to handle, at least a little bit, this type of problem. In fields with lots of text, we call a sub for the input that permits most of the editing commands found in line editors (e.g. c/x/a/, append, etc.) Not a great solution, but better than retyping all the text. I've always coded in MV using input handling routines. The arrows are supported to move about in the input field. I worked with a client a while back and their application only used the BASIC INPUT statement. This caused some garbage data to occasionnally appear in their files. I was quite surprised to see that not everyone uses some kind of input handling routine. That client's application wasn't particularly well written either. There were gosubs being exited with GOTO's. Occasionnally a stack overflow error would appear in the Universe error log file. __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

Re: [U2] Using Esc
I am sick of having to write filter routines for the control characters. It doesn't look good to the users either. On the plus side, many terminal emulators can have their keyboard re-programmed so that when you press a key it sends the key that you want. I've used this feature to send the proper arrow escape sequences on bad VT220 emulators. Once the terminal emulator is properly configured the setup file for it can become part of the standard installation procedure for the user. So if the escape key sends CHAR(251), it can be changed on the emulator without writing new code. I know that Hostaccess and Hummingbird allow for keyboard re-programming. I've used Accuterm before but don't remember if you can re-program its keyboard as well. On my emulator, I've configured F12 to do: S^M so that when I step through the debugger I only need to press one key. __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
