Re: [U2] Variable Interpolation
My goodness, what did I start with this question?! I apologize for asking and then going on vacation; I didn't expect all of the responses. I'll make sure not to ask and run again ;) Charles nailed the purpose behind the question, but several other folk nailed the rough idea of the functionality I for which I was looking. I guess UniBasic itself doesn't have the functionality without involving command line calls of some sort. Thanks for all of the responses! No -- English is my native language.

Re: [U2] UniVerse and Shadow copy on Windows 2003
*grin* I was kind of wondering even without transaction processing if it would let the file handle close or something of the sort to ensure the data finished writing.

Re: [U2] UniVerse and Shadow copy on Windows 2003
These are all extremely informative and lovely pieces of information (no, that's not sarcasm):) With nice Unix information that can even be applied to Windows with some thought. However, I too am curious about the Server 2003 VSS (not *nix, sorry!). Running it cannot cause corruption to the Unidata files even while people are logged in -- is that correct? >From what I've read, Server 2003 lets the processes finish their disk writes, pauses the processes on an OS level, writes the disk branching information, and then resumes the processes. Programs wouldn't even known it's happening. Even deleting the VSS restore point is a safe operation as far as I know in that it simply writes the new file indexes stored in the restore points into the master file table, right? That's where the VSS awareness comes in, right? Programs that are aware could ensure data integrity through transactional logs. I'm guessing it's the restore that would be the issue. Although the processes would finish their writes, that would just be for one block of data and you could be missing part of a record in a file or even have inconsistencies between files if you tried to restore. Risky, risky... I guess my question now is: *on Windows*, do the dbpause/dbstart or SUSPEND.ON/SUSPEND.OFF commands ensure structural integrity to some extent, like Martin Phillips said earlier? If I start to write array variable ABC containing 10,000 items 1000 characters each in length to a file, and that file is only valid if ABC is completely written, will it let ABC finish writing to that file?

Re: [U2] [ud] Question on Alpha Sorting...
Hmm...doing it programmatically...multi-dimensional array?

Re: [U2] Index Rebuilding
Thank you for the information, Wally! :) Again, though, I'm on the hunt -- I like having references for my forgetful mind. Is there a piece of UniData documentation or online help that describes the ONLINE keyword in relation to BUILD.INDEX? It doesn't seem to show when I do a HELP BUILD.INDEX. On 2/7/07, Wally Terhune <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: I don't agree with Shaun's analysis of UniData and indexes - though perhaps we are looking at it slightly differently. 1) CREATE.INDEX just creates the index file and puts a flag in the source file header indicating that indexes exist - and how many. The details about the specific fields and their 'formula' (D type = attribute, I type = expression) are stored in the header of the index file by the CREATE.INDEX command. There are no locking or file open issues regarding CREATE.INDEX that I am aware of. You can run LIST.INDEX before you BUILD.INDEX and confirm that you got what you asked for. 2) BUILD.INDEX (prior to UniData release 7.1) requires exclusive access to the primary file during the build process. This is to ensure that when the build is done, the contents of the index are 100% consistent with the contents of the primary file. This is done with UniData internal locks (exclusive lock on the entire file for updates - the file can still be listed during BUILD.INDEX, but not updated). For Recoverable files (RFS), no udt process can have the file OPEN. If BUILD.INDEX cannot get an exclusive lock (or for RFS files - other processes have it open), BUILD.INDEX will fail - producing an error message. LIST.INDEX can be used to confirm the 'built' status of your indexes. 3) At release 7.1.0, we added the ONLINE keyword to the BUILD.INDEX command. This changes the underlying build operations considerably, but allows you to continue to write records to the primary file during BUILD.INDEX. When you use the ONLINE keyword, the build is significantly slower - but your 7/24 application use can continue unimpeded.

Indexes on UniVerse and UniData are different. UniVerse will stop you from creating them if the file is open by any process (very good!). UniData will go on it's merry way and create the index even if the file is open by another process. You run the BUILD.INDEX command and all looks fine. Then you add more records to the file and the index appears broken. Your new records are not accounted for. On UniData, you must be absolutely sure that the file is not open when you create the index. On unix, I use "fuser -u [path to file]". I do not know the equivalent on Window$. Indexes have become very stable and accurate if created properly. As mentioned earlier, best not to use "I" or "V" dictionary items, if possible (especially TRANS or file OCONV's), and better to use the key and null in a boolean expression (using NO.NULLS at creation) instead of a "1" and "0".

The same considerations apply when searching for a dictionary item from a query as for a VOC item. How many of you bother to tune your file dictionaries?

Re: [U2] FW: On data models, data types and dangerous liaisons | The Register {Unclassified}
I would agree with it except for two things: I do believe that people will get attached to complex systems -- but I don't believe that the majority of people will be completely unwilling to apply other systems in new situations. The article makes it sound as if most readers will fall on one side or the other of the "MV vs. relational database" line and adhere to it. I believe that people have a more open mind than that, but that's just me, and that's where I disagree. The other point at which I disagree is the strength of the typing and rules applied to the databases. My point of view is this: Data stored in any database model has rules attached to it only by the accessing program. Only the accessing program will choose whether to read rule metadata stored with the actual data. A database holds data. That data is either a number, some text, or both. The database can be in the form of a relational database with its atomic values, a paginated book full of written tables that have both text and numbers, or a multivalued database that holds just basic types. The same type of data, however, can be stored in all of these. Data in a database is *transformable*. It can be stored in one type of way or another, but it is still the same data. The point of all that: a piece of data (alphanumeric/numeric or int/char/text/float...) must be accessed somehow. In the example of the book, if the book is closed, we can't get to the data, but the data is still there. The data means nothing until we open the book (access the data) and start reading it (and interpreting it after we read it). The whole of a type of data in the table can be gathered by scanning the data -- we see a bunch of small numbers in the book, we know they're integers. We see decimaled numbers, we know they're float. We see two letters in one field, it's automatically some type of text that is supposed to be readable, or which has some implied meaning. If we see instructions above a table in a book that say that we need to change a column or a column's interpreted amount each time something specific happens, we will decide to apply that transformation to keep data integrity, or we will decide not to apply the transformation for any number of reasons. The accessing of the data, the method used to access that data, the way the accessed data is then read -- these are the things that ultimately determine type. Data will lend itself to one type or another, even without our designation. We can store data in a relational database as text, but read it back as numbers instead, since text is ultimately stored as numbers in a computer. Although we can store data in one model or another, the accessing method which returns the data to us can completely mask data types. So...we now have data stored in one form or another, we know that the data can have rules attached to it no matter what form the data is in, and we know that the data will lend itself to a particular type whether the database stores strong typing information or not. There is nothing that prevents us from adding information to either a multivalue dictionary or data file and then applying referential integrity rules to data values in the file based upon that information. It is the accessor programs/methods that determine the application of the rules. Where my thought processes differ from the author is that I believe that multivalued databases are completely capable of self-maintenance and integrity.

Re: [U2] Windows UV & host based printers
I've recently encountered host-based printer problems and had SEVERAL discussions with HP American tech support about this (no offense to the outsourcers out there, but it was helpful to have easy communication) and after we moved beyond the typical "manual" of HP answers, the higher tech support levels and I found a solution to it. Don't use host-based printing in a shared printer environment. Host-based printing is good for using when the printer is connected directly to the machine which will be doing the output. I doubt that you're printing from the computer that has the Unidata server installed, but if you are, make sure that you're using the USB connection. If you're not printing from the machine with the server on it, then don't use the host-based printing. Because the U2 reports are mostly ASCII-based as far as I know, host-based printing at HP doesn't support it. There are a couple of articles on HP's website regarding this. You need a printer with native printer drivers such as PCL5 or PCL6. On 4/20/06, Mike Pflugfelder <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Windows Server 2003 Universe 10.1.11 Printer: HP Color LaserJet 2600n From what I've found on HP's website and some other research on the net, it appears that this printer uses a 'host-based printer driver' or 'host-based printing'. Does anyone have any experience with this specific printer, or more information about host-based printers in general? The problem that we're having right now is that we can print a test page from Windows and it prints fine. When we try to print from Universe, nothing comes out on the printer. We've paused the printer and printed from Universe and I can see the job hang in the queue waiting to print. We then unpause the printer and still, nothing prints. It appears from the documentation that printers are being made with less intelligence now. They're taking the hardware out of the printer that does the formatting (converting from text to raster) and they're now building it in to the driver in windows. I haven't tested it yet, but I know that there is the GDI option to the SETPTR command that might work for us. Does anyone know if I will still be able to pass PCL codes through with this mode of printing? Thanks for any help you can provide.

Re: [U2] Sanctimoniousness never works (was List dead ?)
Things happen. You click the wrong button, you click the right button, you click the left button... No biggie, no need to yell at this man for clicking the OTHER button...move along and play nice, people. Clifton's not done anything to you, no need to hurl flames at the guy. Flame Friday (the Friday at which flames fly freely and no offense is taken) isn't for another 12 hours, and even then it belongs in the U2C board.

Re: [U2] [UD] Setptr
This is the tact that I tried. It seems to work okay, until I put in the spooler options. If I put in spooler options, then my session gets disconnected. Is there a log of why this happens that I can view somewhere?

Re: [OT][U2] List dead ?
Hiya! I've been lurking around for a day or ten or twenty...I figured I'd jump in right about now! And let's not make it golf -- let's make it a waterpark.

Re: [U2] [UD] Setptr
Hey there :) Regarding SETPTR... I'd like to store a currently logged-in user's printer settings (GETPTR?), change them for the output of a report(SETPTR), and then restore them (SETPTR again?). All of my previous attempts at this have been unsuccessful -- could somebody point me in the right direction, please? I've read the documentation for both and I feel like I'm missing something. I'm also not sure if this should be on this list, or the SBS list... ^_^ --JJ On 3/24/06, [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Bill Haskett <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote on 23 Mar 2006 19:46:16 -0800 > > > If I generate a report to _HOLD_ by using "SETPTR 0,3" can I > > then send the report to another printer, say unit 2, by using > > "SETPTR 2" just before I "SPOOL _HOLD_ P_."? > > The first parameter of the SETPTR command allows a unit to be specified so > that you can direct data to multiple print jobs.
