[U2] Position Wanted - South Florida, USA
The company I worked, Tandem Staffing Solutions for was acquired and dissolved as of the end of 2007. I started in accounting and after 5 years switched into the IT side. For the next 12 years, I have worked with Unidata and SBClient as the development platform. I helped develop and maintain inhouse applications, Masterpack, and HRPyramid (formerly SCORPEO from FW Davison). I worked my way up from a juinior programmer to ,at the end, CIO for a brief time. My heart, however, lies in the programming and development spectrum. I have worked on projects that included: - Check Printing (PCL) - ACH and Bank Electronic transfers - Payroll Tax and Treasury - Operations Reporting - FTP and PGP interfaces integrating via PERL - Excel Spreadsheet Creation (via PERL) - Executive Reporting - Various staffing applications including an internally developed application - Microsoft ASP integration with IBM Redback (now WDE). I am currently looking for a position as a senior programmer, application development manager, or any like position in the South Florida area. Specifically in Broward County, Dade County, or West Palm beach. If interested please email me at [EMAIL PROTECTED] to receive my resume or possible discussion the possible opportunities within your company.

RE: [U2][UV] PE Edition Telnet Service Won't Start
AFAIK, the PE edition of universe doesn't allow you to change the telnet port via uniAdmin. However it does use the definition in the services file (at c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc) so it you change telnet there then universe will use the new port. > -Original Message- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Kevin King > Sent: Wednesday, November 28, 2007 10:51 AM > To: u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org > Subject: Re: [U2][UV] PE Edition Telnet Service Won't Start > > > With Unidata at least you could use UniAdmin to reconfigure > the telnet port to something else temporarily.

RE: [U2] Clearing a portion of a screen
It depends on what kind of terminal you're using. If you're using a terminal emulator like Accuterm, there are command to set and clear an arbitrary block on the screen. If you're using a vt100-type terminal or emulator, you can set a scrolling region and then clear the region (by scrolling it). On a wyse terminal, you can print the parts of the screen you want to not clear using the protected attribute, and the part that you want to clear using unprotected, and then use the clear unprotected control sequence. Universe has @() entries for turning on and off protected mode and clearing unprotected, but I don't think it has any predefined entries for scrolling regions. > -Original Message- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Joseph Ruiz > Sent: Tuesday, August 28, 2007 4:42 PM > To: u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org > Subject: [U2] Clearing a portion of a screen > > > I know this is an easy question but how would I, in > Universe, clear out a section of a screen?

RE: [U2] UV CREATE.FILE
It depends on the flavor. The commands are very different. In idea flavor, it's just CREATE-FILE dirname 1 Or CREATE-FILE dirname 19 And it creates a default dictionary for the file as type 3 modulo 1. If you want a different size/type for the dictionary, create it first with CREATE-FILE DICT dirname 3 4 5 Which creates the dict as type 3 modulo 4 seperation 5, and then create the data portion with CREATE-FILE DATA dirname 19 If you are in PICK flavor, CREATE-FILE dirname 4,5,6 1,1,19 Will create a type 19 file with a type 6 dictionary modulo 4 seleration 5.

RE: [U2] [UD] Dynamic variable. Kids, Don't try this at home!!!
You can come up with some bizzare and totally unportable code in unidata using equates: EQU READNEXT TO 12345 ID='2R' LOOP WHILE READNEXT ID DO CRT READNEXT ID CRT ID *just for demo--won't make you go into an endless loop EXIT REPEAT Which on unidata prints 12\34\5 2R Because fmt(12345,'2R')=12\34\5. On universe, this compiles, but the equate processor doesn't replace the READNEXT, so it would exit the loop immediately. This innocent definition of an ascii table compiles and works on universe but won't on unidata: EQU NUL TO CHAR(0) EQU SOH TO CHAR(1) EQU STX TO CHAR(2) ...

RE: [U2] [UD] Dynamic variable
Sorry, I mentioned vlist in my previous response. That's a universe thing. I
don't know if there's an equivalent in unidata. Universe/unidata differ in
what they will accept in an equate. I know jbase differs. Something like
this:
0001 C=0
0002 EQU A TO CHAR(C
0003 C=1
0004 *note I left the closing parenthesis off of the equate line. So I need
to add it here:
0005 CRT A)
Is legal in jbase (and cachi) but wont compile in universe or unidata, or
probably d3 (didn't check). And it looks like a silly thing to do, but c
programmers are familiar with some of the odd gymnastics that can be done
with defines.
Both unidata and Jbase accept this, though universe wont:
0001 DIM MYCHAR(100)
0002 MYCHAR(64)='AT-SIGN'
0003 EQU CHAR TO MYCHAR
0004 CRT CHAR(64)
Unidata and jbase print AT-SIGN instead of the probably expected @. Universe
is doing some extra parsing that prevent you from replacing system functions
with equates, but jbase and unidata allow this.

RE: [U2] [UD] Dynamic variable
TEF.TOTAL.VAL isn't a variable. For the most part, equates are just
replacements. Everywhere you have TEF.TOTAL.VAL in your code gets replaced
with SUM(TEF.VAL) so
TEF.TOTAL.VAL=0
Becomes
SUM(TEF.VAL)=0
Which of course is illegal and won't compile.
You can see the replacements at work with vlist. Compile this program:
0001 EQU TEF.TOTAL.VAL TO SUM(TEF.VAL)
0002 CRT TEF.TOTAL.VAL
0003 CRT SUM(TEF.VAL)
And then vlist it:
1: EQU TEF.TOTAL.VAL TO SUM(TEF.VAL)
2: CRT TEF.TOTAL.VAL
2 0 : 198 sumTEF.VAL => $R0
2 6 : 046 crtcrlf$R0
3: CRT SUM(TEF.VAL)
3 C : 198 sumTEF.VAL => $R0
3 00012 : 046 crtcrlf$R0
4 00018 : 190 stop
The equate line doesn't generate any code, and the two CRTs generate
identical code.
So, just like when you use define in C, you need to be careful about what
you equate. For example:
0001 C=0
0002 EQU A TO CHAR(C)
0003 C=1
0004 CRT A
Is going to print char(1) on line 4 instead of the maybe expected char(0).

I've also replied - with a condensed version of my usual stuff about Codd & Date's rules being a useless foundation for building a decent theory on. Rather than likening those rules to Newton, I decided it was better to liken them to Galileo. Galileo said "the planets CIRCLE the sun", which was badly wrong. We view him much more favourably, in part because he had the right idea, and in part because we confuse the words "circle" and "orbit" such that what we hear is very much *not* what he said. I'm hoping he might respond to me, in which case I'll point him to rather more stuff. In particular, my page on PickWiki, but I don't want to risk that reference getting published!

RE: [U2] CREATE.BFILE filetype
Looks like CREATE.BFILE is just a wrapper for create.file. The only difference between a type 1 and a type 19 file physically is that the type 1 has an empty file in it named ".Type1". So maybe you replaced CREATE.BFILE with a program that runs CREATE.BFILE under another name and then writes the magic file, or resizes it? In ideal flavor, creating a type 19 file is as easy as typing "CREATE.FILE MYFILE 19" and you get a default dictionary size, so maybe you replaced CREATE.BFILE with a proc?

According to the 10.1 'new features' list ["newfeatures.pdf"], the
syntax below is correct, but the compiler doesn't like it. And of
course, there's no "HELP BASIC XMLEXECUTE" and the Basic Extensions

Any ideas what the syntax is really supposed to be?

RE: [U2] Backup Question
Does unidata have a backup utility at all, or are all backups done at the os level? Unidata DOES have journaling. I don't know how much overhead that adds to the system, but it could be worth looking into. If you go the mirroring route, you would still have to stop the database before breaking the mirror to ensure the integrity of what you are backing up on the mirror, so it seems there would still be down-time required. > -Original Message- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Wednesday, May 17, 2006 9:53 AM > To: u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org > Subject: Re: [U2] Backup Question > > > [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > Hello all, > > > > > > > > I have a client that only does backup once a week.

What you probably want to do is use uvbackup to automatically dump the database every time the system is likely to be quiet - you can run that while people are logged on - it's not a problem. That simply dumps all the accounts into a text dump file that you can back up onto tape or whatever later. And there are no file integrity problems. If you go down the mirror route (and yes, that is a good idea, but there's no need to do it that often if you're uvbackup'ing), then I think there's a dbpause command that will sync files and stop any disk i/o. Pause the db (doesn't stop users using it), break the mirror, resume the db, backup the mirror, resume the mirror. If you've got both types of backup you should be reasonably secure. If he doesn't understand the importance of using UV-aware backup tools, just ask him if he has any experience of backing up Windows - and how often do his backups there screw up because Windows has a file open? Although Unix will quite happily let him back up an open UV file, because it's open it's internally inconsistent on disk, and a disk backup tool won't get a clean backup!

RE: [U2] call sunroutine in command line
You can't run a subroutine with parameters from the command line on any
platform (except for cachi).
You can write a little program to call your subroutine. That's pretty
much your only option if you need to test the results.
It looks like your subroutine is executing a SQL statement. On universe
you can test the SQL directly from the command line (if the server is
the computer you are running it on). Unidata has a "connect" command
IIRC and universe may have something similar that lets you send
interactive sql to another server.

most of my country lies in the West (hint - Greenwich is five miles down the

RE: [U2] [UV] Forcing Subroutine to be Re-read
I don't know of any way to force another process to refresh it's subroutine cache (maybe someone else has the answer to that) but it's a good idea sometimes for a background process to periodically restart itself, i.e, for a program named WATCHER running as a phantom: 0001 MAX.TIME=3600 0002 LAST.TIME=TIME() 0003 LOOP 0004 GOSUB DO.SOMETHING.USEFULL: 0005 UNTIL TIME()-LAST.TIME > MAX.TIME DO REPEAT 0006 CHAIN "WATCHER" WATCHER does it's stuff for an hour, and then restarts itself via chain. This clears the subroutine cache as well as allowing it to reload a new version of itself. You could also have the program check a flag, or the timestamp on a program, and restart itself (or shut itself down cleanly) based on other events. > -Original Message- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Tuesday, May 02, 2006 2:03 PM > To: u2-Users > Subject: [U2] [UV] Forcing Subroutine to be Re-read > > > Hi all, > > UV9.6.1.14 > HPUX 11 > > I have a background processor that calls a number of > subroutines.

RE: [U2] DIM statement flavour variation
In pick-flavored accounts, you can only catalog locally, and the catalog syntax is only "CATALOG FILENAME PROGRAMNAME". Try HELP PICK CATALOG for more info. Note that this gives you different info from HELP CATALOG, which is the ideal version. If you want to globally catalog something, I think you can do it from an ideal-flavored account (for example, the UV administrative account that gets set up by default when you install uv). > -Original Message- > From: John Kent [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Wednesday, April 19, 2006 8:19 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; 'U2Users' > Subject: Re: [U2] DIM statement flavour variation > > > Ed, > just what i was looking for. > > Does anyone know if the Pick flavour has limitations or variations on > globally cataloging ? > > I have created a local BP file in a Pick flavoured account > with a couple of > programs, one being a subroutine that when i try to globally catalog > complains that > > Executing the command "CATALOG JAKBP *SR.JAK SR.JAK FORCE". > Unable to open "JAKBP.O/%ASR.JAK" for cataloging.

RE: [U2] DIM statement flavour variation
It's not actually the pick flavor that controls variable dimming: it's the STATIC.DIM options that you can turn on or off in any flavor with $OPTIONS STATIC.DIM Or $OPTIONS -STATIC.DIM It's off by default in ideal and information flavors and on by default in Pick. You would use the second format in PICK flavor to turn on dynamic dimensioning. Be warned though that with STATIC.DIM off, arrays have an element 0, and the extra attributes from a MATREAD go into element 0 instead of being appended to the last element as you would otherwise expect in pick. > -Original Message- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of John Kent > Sent: Wednesday, April 19, 2006 6:06 PM > To: U2Users > Subject: [U2] DIM statement flavour variation > > > It seems Universe information flavour allows DIM ARRAY(Variable) > > whereas Pick flavour insists on variable being a constant > > Does anyone have a workaround for the Pick limitation (other > than a dynamic > array) as there are situations where you dont know the > dimensions until run time. > > jak > --- > u2-users mailing list > u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org > To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/ > > -- > No virus found in this incoming message. > Checked by AVG Free Edition. > Version: 7.1.385 / Virus Database: 268.4.4/318 - Release > Date: 4/18/2006 > > -- No virus found in this outgoing message.

RE: [U2] Question about execute and stacked data.
I know there's lots of other ways to do this. I was just hoping someone might have an explanation for why this way doesn't work. I have a program, call it SELECT.ACTIVITY that uses a complex set of rules and indexes to retrieve a list of records from an extremely huge transaction file. It's a nice, efficient program. Internally, it essentially does this: 001 L=ID1 002 L<-1>=ID2 003 etc 004 SELECT L At this point, I've got an active list. @SELECTED is set to the number of elements. SYSTEM(11) is set to the number of elements. Now I want to be able to use it in a program like this: 001 DATA 'ACTIVITY.REPORT' 002 EXECUTE 'SELECT.ACTIVITY parameters' But it doesn't work. This does work: 001 DATA 'ACTIVITY REPORT' 002 EXECUTE 'SELECT ACTIVITY-FILE parameters...' And this works: 001 DATA 'ACTIVITY.REPORT' 002 EXECUTE 'GET-LIST savedlist' So the question is, what do SELECT and GET-LIST do that a basic program doesn't--why are they privileged to set up the data stack for execution when a basic program doesn't? Of course there are lots of other ways to do this: This works: 001 EXECUTE 'SELECT.ACTIVITY.' 002 EXECUTE 'ACTIVITY.REPORT' PASSLIST Also this works: 001 PERFORM 'SELECT.ACTIVITY' 002 PERFORM 'ACTIVITY.REPORT. Lots of ways to do it. The question is, why does a SELECT or GET-LIST fire the data stack, but a basic program cannot? > -Original Message- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dave Taylor > Sent: Tuesday, February 14, 2006 1:02 AM > To: u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org > Subject: Re: [U2] Question about execute and stacked data. > > > Ed, > > I ran into the same type of problem converting R91 software > to Universe/NT. > > If you EXECUTE 'basic.program.that.builds.a.list', how is the > list created and where is it saved in that second program? > > If the executed basic program itself executes a select and > them executes a save, the list is in the workspace of the > first EXECUTE and the save action occurs in the workspace of > the second EXECUTE in which there is no list to be saved. > > EXECUTing a basic program that builds the list only moves the > issue of multiple EXECUTES to the basic program the creates the list. > > Why would one EXECUTE another program from within an existing > program to build a list rather than building the list from > within the existing program unless all of the actions > associated with the use of the list were to occur in the > second program, which does not appear to be the case here? > > The DATA statement is used to keep all the related functions > needed to create and save a list in the same workspace. > Besides the use of the DATA statement, I have also seen here > on the list the use of a single STMT = (first > function):AM:(second function), EXECUTE STMT.

RE: [U2] Question about execute and stacked data.
I've got a bunch of code coming from another system where this worked. We have a lot of places with things like: DATA 'basic.program.that.uses.a.list' EXECUTE 'basic.program.that.builds.a.list' And under universe this just isn't working. The basic program isn't setting something that universe wants to see before it will execute the DATA. Some of it could easily be changed to PERFORM 'basic.program.that.builds.a.list' PERFORM 'basic.program.that.uses.a.list' Or as EXECUTE 'basic.program.that.builds.a.list' RTNLIST LST EXECUTE 'basic.program.that.uses.a.list' PASSLIST LST But I was hoping someone knew the internals that allow DATA 'SAVE-LIST LST' EXECUTE 'SELECT VOC' To work but DATA 'SAVE-LIST LST' EXECUTE 'basic.program.that.builds.a.list' To not work. > -Original Message- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [HYPERLINK "mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]"mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ver.u2ug.org] On Behalf Of > Louie Bergsagel > Sent: Monday, February 13, 2006 4:11 PM > To: u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org > Subject: Re: [U2] Question about execute and stacked data. > > > What are you trying to do? > > If you want to execute different commands based on whether or > not something like a SAVE.LIST exists, just test > @SYSTEM.RETURN.CODE after your select and do what you wish. > > EXECUTE "GET.LIST TEST" > IF @SYSTEM.RETURN.CODE LT 1 THEN >CRT "Enter a SAVE.LIST name: ": >INPUT SAVE.LIST.NAME > END > > I like to put constructs like the above in a loop which I > repeat until the user enters a valid SAVE.LIST (one with > records), or enters nothing, and then I exit the loop and > either process the records (if any) or exit the program (if none). > > -- Louie Bergsagel > > > > On 2/13/06, [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > This is on universe 10.0.10 on windows xp. > > If you have stacked data, it will be executed after an EXECUTE, so: > > 001 DATA 'WHO' 002 EXECUTE 'SELECT VOC' > > Will select the voc to list 0, then execute WHO. > > If the command in EXECUTE doesn't yield a list, then the data isn't > > executed, so > > 001 DATA 'WHO' > > 002 EXECUTE 'GET-LIST VOCCRAP' ;* assuming you don't have a > list named > > voccrap > > 003 INPUT A > > 004 CRT A > > The GET-LIST doesn't return a list, so the WHO stays > stacked and gets > > picked up by the INPUT later. > > > > Now here's the problem/question. > > Suppose you have a basic program that creates a list, for > example: 001 > > L='A':@AM:'B' 002 SELECTN L TO 0 > > Saved and cataloged as MY.LIST.PROG > > And change the test program above to > > 001 DATA 'WHO' > > 002 EXECUTE 'MY.LIST.PROG' > > 003 CRT @SELECTED > > The WHO does not execute, even though the basic program > creates a list. > > You can fiddle with the VOC catalog entries adding 'K' to > attribute 4 so > > that you can see the list created by running the program from TCL. > > So the question is, what magic does a basic program need to > do so that > > it can create a list and participate in the serial > execution of stacked > > data? > > > > -- > > No virus found in this outgoing message. > > Checked by AVG Free Edition. > > Version: 7.1.375 / Virus Database: 267.15.6/258 - Release Date: > > 2/13/2006 > > --- > > u2-users mailing list > > u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org > > To unsubscribe please visit HYPERLINK "http://listserver.u2ug.org/"http://listserver.u2ug.org/ > --- > u2-users mailing list > u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org > To unsubscribe please visit HYPERLINK "http://listserver.u2ug.org/"http://listserver.u2ug.org/ > > -- > No virus found in this incoming message. > Checked by AVG Free Edition. > Version: 7.1.375 / Virus Database: 267.15.6/258 - Release > Date: 2/13/2006 > > -- No virus found in this outgoing message.

[U2] Question about execute and stacked data.
This is on universe 10.0.10 on windows xp. If you have stacked data, it will be executed after an EXECUTE, so: 001 DATA 'WHO' 002 EXECUTE 'SELECT VOC' Will select the voc to list 0, then execute WHO. If the command in EXECUTE doesn't yield a list, then the data isn't executed, so 001 DATA 'WHO' 002 EXECUTE 'GET-LIST VOCCRAP' ;* assuming you don't have a list named voccrap 003 INPUT A 004 CRT A The GET-LIST doesn't return a list, so the WHO stays stacked and gets picked up by the INPUT later. Now here's the problem/question. Suppose you have a basic program that creates a list, for example: 001 L='A':@AM:'B' 002 SELECTN L TO 0 Saved and cataloged as MY.LIST.PROG And change the test program above to 001 DATA 'WHO' 002 EXECUTE 'MY.LIST.PROG' 003 CRT @SELECTED The WHO does not execute, even though the basic program creates a list. You can fiddle with the VOC catalog entries adding 'K' to attribute 4 so that you can see the list created by running the program from TCL. So the question is, what magic does a basic program need to do so that it can create a list and participate in the serial execution of stacked data? -- No virus found in this outgoing message.

RE: [U2] Justification for removal of savedlists
&SAVEDLISTS& is usually a directory file. Depending on your OS, putting a lot of files in a directory can be very innefficient. Records in &HOLD& can be very large, so disk space could be a good argument there. On the other hand, deleting saved lists can be problematic: are you sure no one wants that list anymore? Are you sure that that list you identified as being "old" and are about to delete hasn't just been re-written by a program reusing the name?

By their very nature they are ephemeral. If a program created them, they should be recreated every time. If a user created them, they should be recreated every time. Pretty much the same holds true of the hold file. And ime, a full hold file can noticeably impact system performance - okay we're running on Windows, but when I filled the hold file with temporary files, I regularly got user complaints. Tell your VP you'll back &SAVEDLISTS&, &HOLD& to CD before you clean them up, and no you should not get any complaints because those files were *designed* as temporary work areas, not as data storage places.

RE: [U2] UltPlus to UV
On option would be to use PERFORM instead of EXECUTE. It's benefit is that the PERFORMEd program gets the active select list, so you can do things like: PERFORM 'SELECT CUSTOMER-FILE WITH ACTIVE.FLAG STATE.CODE' PERFORM 'SELECT STATE-TABLE SAVING UNIQUE STATE.NAME' Instead of EXECUTE 'SELECT CUSTOMER-FILE WITH ACTIVE.FLAG STATE.CODE' RTNLIST CODES EXECUTE 'SELECT STATE-TABLE SAVING UNIQUE STATE.NAME' PASSLIST CODES Or the proc-like: DATA 'SELECT STATE-TABLE SAVING UNIQUE STATE.NAME' EXECUTE 'SELECT CUSTOMER-FILE WITH ACTIVE.FLAG STATE.CODE The downside is that PERFORM doesn't allow any of the CAPTURE/RETURN/IN/OUT clauses, which could be a killer. Also obviously you need to do some extra juggling to maintain the correct active list. > -Original Message- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Tom Dodds > Sent: Friday, January 20, 2006 2:42 PM > To: Userr group U2 > Subject: [U2] UltPlus to UV > > > We are migrating a system from UltPlus to UniVerse 10.1.14. > In the EXECUTE statement, when using the RTNLIST or the > PASSLIST function the resultant list is a list.varialble or > cursor and not a simple variable.

You said "we need to get along with Microsoft". The problem is, Microsoft has criminal convictions for *deliberately* "not getting along" with other companies that it sees as being any sort of a threat. Which is why they've been in trouble - *twice* - with the American anti-trust people. Which is why they are in trouble with the European anti-trust people now. How are we supposed to get on with Microsoft, if Microsoft decides that it has no intention of getting along with us? On past performance, once it stops ignoring us as totally irrelevant, that is an almost certainty. It's not unreasonable to compare MS to an abusive husband. And you're saying we should "just live with it"? Try saying that to Netscape. Try saying that to Lotus. Try saying that to WordPerfect. None of those companies exist any more - true, the name lives on, and the product lives on, but the companies are gone and what's left is only a shadow. In Netscape's case the courts returned a verdict of criminal corporate murder, and it seems highly probable that the same is true of the other two. Take that on board, and you'll realise why people are so wary of supping with the Devil ...

RE: [U2] [UD] list output when captured
I think maybe the teminal handler is too smart for it's own good?. There are 78 characters in the row, and 78 characters wide on the screen, so when it gets to the end of the line it realizes it's at the end and will autowrap to the next line--so no need for a carriage return. In fact a carriage return would probably insert an extra unwanted line on the display. So, possibilities: 1. set your terminal width wider. 2. Use a different term type that doesn't support auto-wrap 3. Instead of executing with capture, print to a hold file, and then process the hold file entry. > -Original Message- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Bill Haskett > Sent: Wednesday, January 18, 2006 5:20 PM > To: u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org > Subject: [U2] [UD] list output when captured > > I've got a simple scroll routine that parses the output from > a LIST or SORT command's "CAPTURING" variable of an EXECUTE > statement.

RE: [U2] [UD] Active select list in BASIC
It never made any sense to me why unidata did this, and I never found a setting that would change it. I got around it by always putting select lists into variables. i.e: EXECUTE \SSELECT BP\ SELECT TO BPLIST HEADING "THIS IS A TEST 'CLT'" LOOP READNEXT ID FROM BPLIST ELSE EXIT CRT ID REPEAT CRT CRT "...Exiting program and clearing select list..." END Which seemed to work (not sure if the above example works as is--I don't have a unidata system to test it on. I seem to recall that maybe there had to be a file open, or the BPLIST variable needed to be assigned ahead of time for it to work) In ADDS, it was possible to prevent a user from exiting out of a paged list like that--I think you have to have break off or something like that. Universe can be made to return an active select list to TCL. One of the options in the VOC catalog entry for the program controls that (I think it's K) but I don't think it returns a default list that has been partially used. The numbered select lists 1-10 (not 0) are persistent like that though. > -Original Message- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Bill Haskett > Sent: Friday, January 13, 2006 4:12 PM > To: u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org > Subject: RE: [U2] [UD] Active select list in BASIC > > > David, Kevin and Ed: > > Thanks for the tip.

I'd suggest going into Midnight Commander and viewing the directory in that - it converts these names into something visible that you might be able to use in a search, and if you want to delete them, mc will do it laboriously but easily. Oh - and read the Samba docs. You can tell Samba how to deal with these funny names so that windows doesn't screw up. I'm not sure how but you tell it to do some mapping so that it will convert backspace to something else before presenting the name to windows (been there, done that :-) Cheers, Wol --- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/

An easier way might be to copy the items into a type-19 file under universe, transfer it to the unidata machine, and copy it into a hashed file there. This might fail if the file contains special characters or has odd characters in the ids, but for most files it should work. Is your universe install on windows or unix? If you're on windows, I think you're out of luck trying T-DUMP. If I recall correctly, there is no way on windows to create a "virtual tape" that universes can use.

They run as uid 0, which isn't the same thing. I'm guessing the 'su' forces /etc/profile and ~/.profile to run, which will alter the command's environment and change the way the command runs. That's why, in rc.d and cron scripts, you are *always* advised to spell everything out *explicitly* - you can't trust the environment to be what you expect.

And the ISO standard says (a) the week is Monday to Sunday, and (b) a week belongs to whichever year its Thursday falls into. So the algorithm is something like "what is the 'day of year' for this week's Thursday? Now divide that by 7".

Can anyone tell > me or point me to a link? > The correct answer is "what's the point?". I'll explain. Query caching is an optimisation technique that is intended to overcome the inherent limitations of a First Normal Form (relational) database engine. UD is not FNF, therefore does not suffer this limitation, therefore does not need (actually, cannot implement) this form of optimisation. To give my favourite example ... the invoice. A relational engine will scatter the data for one invoice across multiple rows in multiple tables. A query cache optimises and memorises how the query was executed, in order to speed it up next time. UD will simply store the entire invoice in one record, and you can't speed up a "got everything first attempt" query. The point is, relational THEORY is hopelessly inefficient. MV PRACTICE is very efficient. So any relational optimisation is a waste of time in the MV world.

UV and CR clash over a dll. It's something like they both use "u2" as the identifying prefix, then they both chose the same name a for dll ... dll hell ... :-( I don't know whether a newer odbc client will fix it, but I do remember this was a cause of problems when you put U2 and CR on the same machine.

RE: [U2] Translate question
Try something like this:
CRT ICONV('ITEMID','TFILE;X;1;2')
CRT OCONV('ITEMID','TFILE;X;1;2')
Where attributes 1 and 2 are different. The iconv displays attribute 1,
and the oconv displays attribute 2. This is probably uninteresting in
BASIC, but in a dictionary item, in an A-type, the conversion in
attribute 7 is oconvd and the correlative in attribute 8 is iconvd.
Again, that may not be all too interesting, but there are some arcane
tricks you can do with A-types on break and total lines (though I don't
know that universe supports them, and unfortunatly I can't remember any)
where the correlative is used as a conversion (or the other way
around--I wish I could remember--anyone know?), So you would want to
specify both on the same line.

RE: [U2] [UV][SB+] International
Dear Mike, No experience in SB+, only in UV Look into the documentation on NLS 1) Date - does the date display / entry need to be localized. 2) Multi-byte characters - printing will be an issue that need to be tested throughly. Using command like PRINT MYCHAR 'L#10' will NOT align the multi-byte characters correctly, need to use command PRINT FMTDP(MYCHAR,'L#10'). I think there is a patch from IBM on this issue (VLIST ???) - Storing of data: you can store the data in either ASCII or UNICODE but if you need to access the data in HP-UX (e.g. &HOLD& file), you need to store it in ASCII (with relevant file map table) - Command like LEN will return the number of characters instead number of character that take up spaces. If an issue, then need to change to LENDP. - Indexing: if you need to index multi-byte characters, your file mapping must be NONE (no file mapping) , otherwise the index on the multi-byte character field will be wrong. In addition, certain UV commands might not behave as documented. - RESIZE: will not work on file with NLS map. - ACCOUNT.FILE.STATS: will not report the file stats correctly due to additional line in command ANALYZE.FILE. Need to change program BP ACCT.STAT.B to ignore the additional line.

Maybe rephrase it - "every internal subroutine should only exit from one point if it completes successfully". My two favourite rules were "if a single logic-block won't fit on one screen, it's too big", and "if a single section of code won't fit on one page of printout, it's too big". One of my colleagues tends to work to the mantra "if it's only used once, it should be in-lined". Leads to huge programs where you enter at the top, fall out at the bottom, and get hopelessly lost in the detail. As the OO guy said, "three lines is too big" (I think that's an exageration :-) but DON'T start using trees to hide the wood! The ONLY time I would agree with inlining stuff like that is if your program doesn't have flow-control (ie, there are no loops (or backwards gotos in FORTRAN :-). So I tend to program with each section controlling a layer and calling subroutines (CALL or GOSUB, doesn't matter, usually GOSUB) to handle the tasks in the layer below. Which may themselves actually do something, or be a control layer. Actually, to sum up both my rules above, "if there's a backward jump (LOOP, GOTO, FOR NEXT, whatever), and you can't see *both* the *start* *and* *end* at the same time on your preferred medium for making changes (screen for a small block of code, printout for the entire function, for me), then it's too big.

Certainly you can't do it that way. But maybe you could run UV in a chroot jail, so some users could have "root in the jail", but not be able to impact others. There's a lot of things to think about here, though. If you have "root in the jail" I think there are ways of breaking out. And you may (or may not) have to force all UV users via the jail - I don't know whether locking would work across the jail boundary or not. It's an idea, anyway. Or switch on SELinux, so that "root" is "just another user" :-) Something to think about. > > Mike Cheers, Wol --- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/

RE: [U2] squelching the ClearScreen before a LIST output
This may be more work than you want, and changing the TERM-type to dumb will probably do what you want, but for future and general utility use, you could have a program named something like VIEW that takes a LIST command as a parameter (or as stacked data) and displays the output in a scrolling window, or just as a stream with no page breaks, based on command line parameters. The same program could also be extended to export the results of the list to csv or xml (programs to do this have been mentioned on the list lately).

I can't see why it should be doing it, but in this instance where it doesn't
work, have you turned on European format or not?
If set to expect an American date, and in certain flavours, I would expect a
blank result. iirc Pick OCONV returns null when fed incompatible data and
conversion. INFORMATION always returned the original data unaltered.
So I guess, where you've got the problem, you'll find you've got a Pick flavour
active and American date format set. (Or have you got an invisible control
character in your date?)

Use an I-type to rebuild what? Why not just create Day, Month and Year as i-types that do the conversion (or as synonyms). I'm using UV syntax, but I'd either create a D-type called eg Year with a conversion field (field 3) of "D2[Y4]" (or whatever the correct syntax is, or an i-type with a location field (field 2) of "OCONV(..., "D2[Y4]")". I don't know if the first syntax would work in UV, so I certainly don't know if it would work in UD ... Not knowing what you mean by "rebuild", I can't offer any further hints...

RE: [U2] Universe active lists
There are a couple of ways to get around this. 1. Use PERFORM instead of EXECUTE. Perform uses the active select list. 2. Pass a select list to the EXECUTE. In the Pick flavor you can so this with SELECT TO MY.LIST EXECUTE 'ED VOC' PASSLIST MY.LIST This will not work in ideal mode. > -Original Message- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Susan Joslyn > Sent: Friday, August 19, 2005 8:35 AM > To: u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org > Subject: [U2] Universe active lists > > > Greetings U2 users, > > > > I have a technical question/problem in Universe that I could > sure use help with. > > > > If you type this: > > SELECT VOC = "A]" > > ED VOC > > > > (from a "P" flavored account in this case, but I'm not sure > flavor has any influence on the real problem) > > > > The edit will run from the list of items in the VOC > that start with A. > > > > But if you do this > > SELECT VOC = "A]" > > BLEEP VOC > > > > Where BLEEP is a BASIC PROGRAM that does this: > > > > SIZE = SYSTEM(11) > > IF SIZE # 0 THEN > >CRT "you had a list active! > >EXECUTE 'ED VOC' > > END > > > > The executed version of ED VOC will not automatically run > from the list that you selected before typing BLEEP. > > > > I guess the BASIC program has interfered with the system's > memory that there was a list active.

Field 4 contains a load of characters which indicate how the command processor handles the environment. I think the default is NOT to pass select lists through. Just add the relevant character to this field (you'll need to look it up in the documentation) and TCL will pass the select list to BLEEP giving you the results you expect.

RE: [U2] New UV Accout VOC
The "further command" you issued is looking for a program named MAIN.MENU probably. You need to look at the original account and see what MAIN.MENU is. It's possible that it wasn't originally cataloged, but was being found in the file that the program looking for it was run from. You may need to copy another file, or catalog some programs. MAIN.MENU may be refrenced by a program called from an I-type dictionary entry. Copying the entire VOC is almost never a good idea. You need to go through it and look at every q-pointer checking which ones point to the original account--some of them will need to point to the new account instead, while others will have to remain pointing to the old one. You may have some cataloged entries in there with relative file paths that need to be updated. > -Original Message- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of > Brutzman, Bill > Sent: Monday, August 08, 2005 10:19 AM > To: 'u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org' > Subject: [U2] New UV Accout VOC > > > We need to setup a "Sand-Box" account for piloting. > > I created an account with UV Admin.

That's not quite true, you'll get two prompts you need to answer ... Or try adding NO.PAGE to the command line. That should work, but equally, why do you get two "press return to continue"s, so it might not.

The printers, or the terminal server? Either way, taking your email at face value, Windows ought to be able to support them (I can't say for sure, not having used W2K3). The printers, you just want to select "generic/text" as the driver - UV will ignore the drivers anyway. The terminal servers - it was well hidden in NT4 and must surely still be there, but is probably just as well hidden :-) you must be able to configure a printer using reverse telnet ... I'm sure we did it though I can't remember how. Just configure it with the IP address and port number.

RE: [U2] [UV] GET.LIST
Some platforms (mvEnterprise I believe) distinguish between a GET.LIST verb that only works on the pointer-file, and a GLIST verb that works from anyfile. If you don't want to change the flavor setting on the GET.LIST verb (although that sounds like a good way to go) you could easily write your own GLIST verb using QSELECT and temporary q-pointers. Then you could take your code, and your GLIST to any platform or flavor and have it all work as expected. > -Original Message- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of > Dianne Ackerman > Sent: Thursday, July 14, 2005 3:51 PM > To: U2 List Server > Subject: [U2] [UV] GET.LIST > > > On a reality flavor UV account, I can do GET.LIST ACCOUNTNAME > LISTNAME > to get a list which exists on another account.

It's actually probably working the same on both. It kicks them out of the UV/UD environment. With Windows, that IS their login environment so they get kicked off the server. With Unix, chances are it's not their login environment, so they get dropped back to their login. Is U2 started up from their .profile? Or do they log into Unix and then start U2? If it's the latter, you're stuck. If it's the former, look at the .profile. I think it's the 'exec' command - if you 'exec' U2 it then replaces the .profile environment - exit U2 and you get kicked off the system - that's the best approach. The other option is to finish .profile with "exit" - that terminates the login session and will kick them off, but it's vulnerable (a) to deliberate tampering, and (b) a crash *could* leave them in Unix. > > Andy Moore > Selima Software Ltd Cheers, Wol --- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/
