RE: [U2] UniVerse Data in SQL Tables
Hi Trevor With UniVerse the ODBC, OLEDB UniObjects come free with the database. If you have an older version of UniVerse and did not get these with the product then get hold of your supplier and they should be able to organise if free of charge. Writing a front end for universe can be done in Minutes and cheaper than can be done frontending SQL Server. I have set up Web Services and Clients for UniVerse in .Net very quickly and cheaply. You can take advantage of current UV Basic Subroutines and the business logic already done in UniVerse and pass them to the client where all you have to do the GUI interface. There is a variety of ways achieving this according to whether you want to take the SQL approach or the direct interface. UniObjects runs a lot quicker than the SQL approach. You can contact me direct if you wish some further advice of approach.

RE: [U2] FW: Identify UniVerse files at unix level
Thanks to everyone. This one looks like the ticket (re UVfile) (but it
seems to run quite slow compared to the 'file' command used with an updated
'magic' file - even though they appear to do the same task).

There's a UVfile executable in the bin directory for UniVerse. This will
perform what you need.
On UNIX, use find: for example (provided the UniVerse bin directory is in
PATH): find . -exec UVfile {}\;
Possibly you can filter the output with grep and/or awk.
On Windows, use the uvwalk.exe utility, and its -uvfile option

Mike, Sorry for the delay in responding. Dynamic Connect is not planned to support SSL at this time as it is free telnet client based on the wIntegrate engine. A quick Internet shows various third-party options for secure telnet.

RE: [U2] [UV] SELECTINDEX inside a user conversion subroutine is corrupting the record count
Perhaps you could modify your routine to use BSCAN instead of SELECTINDEX, something along the lines of: BSCAN found.key, record.keys FROM operators.file.var, operator.number.to.find USING 'index.name' BY 'A' THEN IF STATUS() = 1 THEN ;* Desired operator number actually found FORMLIST record.keys TO 8 ELSE * Operator number not found. END ELSE * Operator number not found END If you don't really need to put the record.keys into a SELECT list, then you could just do a LOOP REMOVE to get each key from the record.keys variable. Hopefully this would avoid the problem you're running into.

RE: [U2] [UV] SELECTINDEX inside a user conversion subroutine is corrupting the record count
I believe that what is happening does so because, even though there can be multiple SELECT lists, there is only a single internal variable within the query processor for handling record count. This has been like this as long as I can recall (mid-80s?) and basically its the last select/list/count/etc done that gets output.

[U2] How keep '\' in unix/uniVerse filenames?
A number of our uniVerse files have the \ symbol in the file names. Problem
is, at unix level, these \ fellows are usually treated as 'escape'
characters and ignored or removed when you try to reference them. Eg: echo
hello\there displays hellothere.
Does anyone know how to ensure that the unix shell treats these as literal
text? Note that {}, quotes, and double-quotes don't seem to work.
To elaborate (you can ignore this if you like)...
Cutdown example of what I'm trying to do (ksh):
$ ls TRAN*
TRAN.EXT-14320S1??\4-DF
TRAN.EXT-14320S1??\5-DF
(note the '\' in the file names)
$ find TRAN* -print | while read file
do
ls -l $file
done
TRAN.EXT-14320S1??4-DF not found
Note: The 'find' produces the correct names, but subsequent unix commands
missinterpret the meaning. Because the '\' is stripped, the ls command
tries to list D_TRAN.EXT-14320S1??4-DF instead of TRAN.EXT-14320S1??\4-DF,
and of course the file is not found.
Any ideas?
