[U2] UniVerse 10.0.19 abnormal termination

[Kezic, David]

Hi all.

In attempting to track down an issue causing abnormal termination of
Universe I have discovered the following scenario which causes this to
happen.  I would have expected universe to report a variable unassigned
or equivalent in this case without dropping out of UV.  Have passed this
on to UV support.

Thoughts/comments anyone?

The routine below demonstrates the issue.

DK.TEST
* Test routine to cause UV to abort with following error
*
* Program "DK.TEST": Line 16, Variable "VAL" previously undefined.
Empty string used.
* Abnormal termination of UniVerse.
* Fault type is 11.  Layer type is BASIC run machine.
* Fault occurred in BASIC program DK.TEST at address 3a.
* /usr/contrib/bin/uv_connect[21]: 5621 Memory fault
*
* RELLEVEL as follows
* 001: X
* 002: 10.0.19
* 003: PIOPEN
* 004: PIOPEN.FORMAT
* 005: 10.0.19
*

$INCLUDE SYSCOM ATFUNCTIONS.INS.IBAS
*
  EQUATE BG LIT "@(IT$SHALF)"
  EQUATE FG LIT "@(IT$EHALF)"
*
  DIM TEMP(2)
*
  VAL = TEMP(1)
*
  CNT = COUNT(VAL, BG) + COUNT(VAL, FG)
*
  STOP
*
   END

RE: [U2] THE variable names

[Larry Hiscock]

What systems DON'T support REMOVE?  I cut my teeth in the MV world back in
1979 on Microdata Reality, and it had REMOVE.  Since then I've worked on a
variety of other MV systems, including Ultimate, Prime Information, UniVerse
and UniData, among others that I've probably forgotten.  I can't recall any
of them that didn't support REMOVE.

Don't cast such stones on us 'old pro's. Many of us have spent more time
with these older systems prior to the current system than many have with
their only systems. There is an evolution with these MV systems that allows
us to be a little cautious of new, platform specific 'features'.

At present I have active accounts in Microdata, UV, UD, AP-Pro, D3, MvBase
and R90. All support DCOUNT etc and it gets a little hard to remember which
system supports REMOVE or SELECT TO. I for one got a little tired with the
LOCATE differences and the EXECUTE/PERFORM syntaxes. So I go with the
trusted, comprehensive methods.

My productivity isn't hampered by using DCOUNT instead of REMOVE. I won't
yield to a cpu cycle argument either. Given the tremendous amount of poor
programming that I have inherited these last 27 years, I feel pretty good
about my abilities (and bank account) in MV programming.

I just removed 680 lines from a 900 line program that needed a repair. Since
I'm the current cook in the kitchen at my clients, I have to take
responsibility for any problems that creep up when I change a program. I may
be tweaking lines 100-115 and when the fresh compile produces a new error at
line 580, it's now my problem.

As with other debatable elements, there will always be 2 solutions to every
program. What started out as a curiosity with the THE prefixes, ended up
with slandering against the senior members of this forum. Not read the
manual in 20 years? We've probably written the one you're reading now.

RE: [U2] THE variable names

[gerry-u2ug]

wow.  I can't believe how touchy people get about the simplest comments. 
I am also surprised at the assumptions that get made in order to flame back at 
some perceived insult.
Why do you assume anything about how long I've been at this game, my abilities 
or the size of my bank account ?  And how is any of that even relevant ?

For the record, I wasn't slandering old pros. I was slandering old 'pros' that 
haven't picked up a manual in 20 years - big difference.
The comment was made in response to the statement that 'newer' ( ie. post 
1970's ) language features shouldn't be used as they would confuse the 'old 
timers'.

If you are current in the profession then what I said was in no way directed at 
you - so why the indignation ?

Re: [U2] SYSTEM(20)?

[Mark Johnson]

Here, here. My MCD roots are showing as I truly love SP-JOBS. I have even
wrote an equivilent using LISTPEQS for D3 systems. I never bothered on U2
systems as I was more of a contract programmer than an administater.

SP-JOBS should have been picked up by the remaining keepers of the MV flame.
It was too good to die with MCD.

Re: [U2] [UV] Select Question

[Mark Johnson]

At the risk of starting another debate, I'll toss out my preference on
internal (or external) READNEXTS.

UD:
LOOP WHILE READNEXT ID DO
BLAH
REPEAT

D3:
LOOP READNEXT ID ELSE EXIT UNTIL 0 DO
BLAH
REPEAT

MCD and others I use the infidel EOF=0 logic
EOF=0
LOOP READNEXT ID ELSE EOF=1 UNTIL EOF DO
BLAH
REPEAT

I have been stung when using the value of the incoming ID as a test value.
Thus I leave it alone.

I've only ever looked at Journaling as a poor-man's RFS.  In that capacity
it really didn't cut the mustard.

I have, however, successfully set up RFS for use in a DR scenario - archive
logs regularly and automatically copied to a backup machine and replayed
there automatically each morning via mediarec.  This is running well at
decent sized production site, but nothing like the user population you are
talking about - 100 to 150 users, not 1000 like you have.

In an ideal world, IBM would publish the format of the archive logs so one
could write a tool to allow transactions to be picked out of these and
replayed over to a remote system without stopping it and doing a mediarec
rollforward, but with UniData having replication built-in using an entirely
different approach, I doubt they'll ever allow that.

Do you have version issues which would prevent you using replication for
this purpose Dean, or have you identified issues that prevent it from
working for you?

Cheers,

Ken

I've solved that by creating a Q-Pointer to the &SAVEDLISTS& file in the
remote account. Then performing QSELECT REMOTEACCTSL SAVEDLISTNAME. If you
follow a standard, such as ACCTNAMESL, then it's not too annoying.

Or, you could change the VOC GET.LIST to be REALITY flavor as previously
pointed out.

There is no other work around but to change field 6 in the VOC entry for 
GET.LIST from whatever it says to REALITY.FORMAT.

FYI, the INFORMATION flavor does support doing the same thing, but you 
have to swap syntax to:

[U2] [UD] journaling information

Any UniData Journaling users out there?

We are considering using journaling as a way to keep a near real-time
backup of our primary system.  We would be journaling hundreds of files
on a system with over 1000 users.

We have lots of questions, like:
Has anyone used journaling on that scale before?
How much of a performance hit is there with journaling?
Are there any options recommended, or to be avoided?
What tricks can we use to avoid any know problems?

Re: [U2] Internal date conversion

With the format you have given this will work:

The OCONV strips everything non-numeric leaving 20050714 which will ICONV to

Re: [U2] Internal date conversion

[Roger Glenfield]

About the same time as D2E  started iconverting DAY/MON/YEAR?

I think I preferred the Ultimate method of setting a system wide flag 
and letting D2/ be D2/ for the locals.


Or even better, MMDDYY instead of slashing/dashing.  Of course, some 
preferred not having to enter years, entering  7/13 and defaulting to 
current year.

RE: [U2] [UV] Select Question

[Richard Taylor]

There can be a major problem with the second syntax depending on what you
are doing to the file.  The SELECT filevar syntax does not create a select
list even in memory.  It traverses each group in order as you perform the
readnext command keeping a pointer to where it left off.  This is why is
can be so much faster/more efficient than a select to a list which must:
a) traverse the file to create the list and b) hold that list somewhere.

The problem comes in if you write back to the file you are traversing.
This will reorganize the group moving where records are located.  You can
end up records not being processed that you believed were going to be.  

You are much safer either Executing an Retrieve select or selecting to a
list.

RE: [U2] Internal date conversion

I have found that a general date conversion is pretty flexible in UV (not
sure about Unidata yet)

Try:

I.DATE = ICONV(EXTERN.DATE,"D")

I understand the reasons, but that doesn't mean I don't miss the
functionality.  We were dealing primarily with a big 1200 lpm band printer.
(Dataproducts disguised as Wang).  The Wang used a proprietary dual coax
wiring scheme.  It looked like small welding hose!  Archaic to the extreme,
but it sure did work well.  All the pieces talked to each other constantly,
so the host knew the status of everything.  Don't misunderstand...I'd never
go back, but I sure miss having that level of control over the peripheral
hardware.

T.DATE = "2005-07-14"
NEW.DATE = ICONV(T.DATE,"G1-2"):"-":ICONV(T.DATE,"G0-1")

I agree that I don't see any extra overhead.
But why do you use an odd convention like ID = @AM ?
In this small loop it's probably apparent what you're doing but if the 
distance between the LOOP and the UNTIL were large enough I dare say you'd be 
adding 
confusion to the mix for any future programmer.

What I do is
DONE = @FALSE
LOOP
   READNEXT ID ELSE DONE = @TRUE
UNTIL DONE DO REPEAT

I think DONE is a more clear-cut variable usage rather than setting ID to @AM 
personally.  Just my opinion.

RE: [U2] problems with UVODBC, crystal reports viewer

[Hennessey, Mark F.]

Could there be variances in post SP2 patches that have been applied by users?

Something is jiggling in the back of my mind about different ports...  But I 
should think that Crystal reports and Excel, since they're both using ODBC, 
would
be going out the same ports on the PCs and connecting to the same port on the

Mea culpa!

As  there's no way you can assign the resulting select list to a 
variable without
first  'traverse' the file -  that is without at least read the  list of 
record-id
in each page ( or hash point ) I jumped to the conclusion that there 
would be..


But evidently the implementation is such as the variable is not assigned 
to/with/as

the full list before the program continues with the loop.

That also explains why you can't do much else than readnext with
a list variable -  dcount it for example.


Took a large file  used both methods and printed the first
readnext'ed id   and timed it for proof - both ways printed
emediately.

(But I had to SELECTV  for the list variable case )

I'm aware of two differences that may be of importance

- if we're speaking uv -

The LIST alternative is immune to a secondary select
inside the loop  -  possibly well hidden in an itype in
a subroutine of an subr


The bare select lets the readnext loop start emediately
and saves (probably) one traversal of the file.


So yes You'd save overhead - lot's of wall clock time
and io but probably not that much cpu.

Re: [U2] SYSTEM(20)?

The Wang spooler was probably running directly attached printers (via
serial or parralell interfaces).  This would allow the spooler to
"know" much more about the status of a job than the more "modern"
printers that are network attached (and deal with complete print jobs
in one fell swoop).  For a network attached printer to offer up the
same funtionality, full two way communication of status as it happens
would need to occur.  While the Wang may have had much better control
over the print job, how long did you have to wait for that 500+ page
report???

Today we just print the whole thing, take one look at the first page,
decide it's all wrong and print it again (and again, and again)...

[U2] problems with UVODBC, crystal reports viewer

[Joe Walter]

having a strange problem. got a customer with many, many users running crystal
reports viewer that access universe data via UVODBC. in the past this has
worked fabulously, but all of a sudden, in the last 10 days or so some subset
of the users get NO results returned when using the crystal reports viewer.
however, if we try to access Universe data via MS Excel on those same
workstations - no problemo.

all workstations are running Win XP Pro SP2.

i'm wondering if there's an off chance anyone else has encountered a similar
problem and come up with a resolution.

also wondering if it might have something to do with the latest batch of
'automatic updates' from Microsoft. i don't have specifics, but do know that
some workstations have MS automatic updates enabled and others do not.

Re: [U2] AUTOLOGOUT

This is what I wrote for a client. Maybe it will help. It uses a

RE: [U2] [UV] Select Question

[gerry-u2ug]

is this true ?  I have never experienced the slowdown of the initial 
"traversal" and can't see the need for it - this statement just uses a 
different select list other than zero.  now if the question had been regarding 
SELECTV rather than SELECT, then I would agree.

I'm aware of two differences that may be of importance

- if we're speaking uv -

The LIST alternative is immune to a secondary select
inside the loop  -  possibly well hidden in an itype in
a subroutine of an subr


The bare select lets the readnext loop start emediately
and saves (probably) one traversal of the file.


So yes You'd save overhead - lot's of wall clock time
and io but probably not that much cpu.

Re: [U2] [UV] Select Question

[Geoffrey Mitchell]

Selecting to a list variable is a VERY good idea.  Personally, I regard 
selecting to the default select list in a program as very bad form, and 
using a numbered select list as only marginally better.  Brian Leach's 
response has a good explanation of why, so I won't go into details.


I'm not aware of any additional overhead, and can't imagine why there 
would be any, but I am not familiar with the implementation details, so 
I can't say authoritatively that there is none.  I guess that some 
memory would need to be allocated to manage a list stored in a list 
variable, whereas it would already be allocated for the default list, 
but we're talking about clock cycles here.  In practice, I know of no 
viable reason not to use list variables.

Tell me about it!  We came to D3/SB+/AIX 10 years ago from a Wang VS
environment.  I don't miss writing COBOL, but there never was a more user
and operator friendly OS than the Wang VS.  You could stop a print job in
mid-stream and resume where you left off, even on another printer.  That was
great if a printer broke down in the middle of a long report.  You could
also skip
back or skip ahead to a specific page or line.  The D3/SB+ combo was a
big step down in regard to convenient printer control.  Now the switch to
Unidata/SB+ is an even bigger step backwards.

We take a shortcut on using startup files like .profile. Instead, we put an
entry into /etc/passwd for users that we want going directly to Unidata. In
the field used to designate the user's shell, we put a reference to a login
file that starts up Unidata. Since this then becomes the user's shell, once
the shell ends, the process goes away. For example:

juser:*:238:15:Joe User,Reservations
Dept,1131,:/usr/users/juser:/unidata/local/bin/udtlogin

The last entry points to a udtlogin which sets all the necessary environment
variable, changes directory to the top of our Unidata application menu, then
starts udt:

# Define environment variables and set PATH, then start udt
#
PRINTER=system; export PRINTER
UDTHOME=/unidata/ud5211; export UDTHOME

DICT _HOLD_ NEXT.HOLD contains the next job number to use.  Reading this
value would give you the next entry to be created, provided no one else
gets in ahead of you :->

The SETPTR command also includes the option BANNER which will allow you to
name the print job.  We have used this option to have weekly reports stored
in _HOLD_ so we could find the items automatically.

For example, using

SETPTR 0,133,65,0,0,3,NOEJECT,NFMT,COPIES 1,DEST ,BANNER
,NOMESSAGE,BRIEF

creates an item in _HOLD_ with the ID of .  We find this extremely
useful for reports run weekly or monthly, since we sometimes need time to
extract them from _HOLD_ before they get over-written.

You could also use BANNER UNIQUE , which would create the item
_, where  is the sequence number obtained from DICT _HOLD_
NEXT.HOLD.

RE: [U2] SYSTEM(20)?

[colin.alfke]

Norman;

As others pointed out you can use GETPU(). We went a different way and
execute a SETPTR command using the "BANNER" option to actually name the
_HOLD_ item. This will eliminate the renaming step and perhaps with the
right options could eliminate the "editing the printer control
characters" and since the _HOLD_ file is actually a directory under
UNIX/windows you might not need your little program anymore.

Re: [U2] [Redback] multi-valued data displays strangely

[Don Verhagen]

Adrian.

Using RBOScope, I don't think so. The RBOScope asp/uv/ud code "Magically" 
converts new lines characters into Value Marks, this is, as I believe also, 
useful when testing and have to enter multivalue data into a RBO property. 
Using a textbox outside of RBOScope does not exhibit
(magically) this behaviour.  I suppose you may be able to ScopeProps.asp to get 
the behaviour you are looking for.

Re: [U2] AUTOLOGOUT

[Dianne Ackerman]

I think it has do to with the way they get to Universe in the first 
place.  We have it setup so the unix users automatically go to a certain 
place where there is a .profile which does 'exec uv' within it.  Then 
the AUTOLOGOUT works just as you want it to, it logs them off 
completely.  Other users we have which go into unix but stay there until 
they execute a command to go into uv work the other way, the AUTOLOGOUT 
brings them back to unix.

Hello,

Anyone got any ideas on the autologout command on a Unix environment?

We have it working happily on some Windows servers, set to log people
off if they are inactive for 60 minutes, but when used on a Unix server
it drops the user to the Unix prompt when logging them off from
Universe.

I am looking for a way to completely log the user off the server.

RE: [U2] AUTOLOGOUT

[Brian Leach]

Andy,

How do you start their uv processes? 
If you are starting the uv process from e.g. a .profile or .login script,
remember that you need to 'exec' uv to overlay the current process or it
will create a subprocess to run UniVerse. In which case, the autologout will
simply be returning them to their calling shell.

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.

Re: [U2] [UV] Select Question

[Mats Carlid]

I'm aware of two differences that may be of importance

- if we're speaking uv -

The LIST alternative is immune to a secondary select
inside the loop  -  possibly well hidden in an itype in
a subroutine of an subr


The bare select lets the readnext loop start emediately
and saves (probably) one traversal of the file.


So yes You'd save overhead - lot's of wall clock time
and io but probably not that much cpu.

Hi all,

Can someone tell me the diference between the following two examples of 
executing an external select?

SELECT FILE TO LIST
LOOP
   READNEXT ID FROM LIST ELSE ID = @AM
UNTIL ID = @AM DO
REPEAT

SELECT FILE
LOOP
   READNEXT ID ELSE ID = @AM
UNTIL ID = @AM DO
REPEAT

Someone pointed out to me that there is overhead in selecting to a list that I 
need not be exposing myself to.  Aren't they both kind of reading from a list 
somewhere anyways?

Thanks

Hello,

Anyone got any ideas on the autologout command on a Unix environment?

We have it working happily on some Windows servers, set to log people
off if they are inactive for 60 minutes, but when used on a Unix server
it drops the user to the Unix prompt when logging them off from
Universe.

I am looking for a way to completely log the user off the server.

Thanks

Yes.  Eventually.  Probably when there's a business case (that is, the vendor 
can make some bucks by fixing it).

Is there a way to keep the new line as a new line instead of a "}" ?

I've tried defining the field as a "Field" and later as a "mvField" in redback
designer, and it made no difference.

RE: [U2] [UV] Select Question

[Brian Leach]

The first syntax is used to ensure isolation of select lists.

It is a good practice to get into, in case someone later on modifies the
code processing whatever you are handling in your selection, especially if
that processing involves calling an external subroutine. Personally I prefer
to use select variables rather than list numbers for certain isolation.

Just in case that isn't clear, consider an example selecting and processing
some files.

If you were to do the following:

Open "VOC" To VOC Else STOP
Execute 'SELECT VOC WITH F1 LIKE F...'
Fin = @False
Loop
  ReadNext FileName Else Fin = @True
Until Fin Do
  GoSub DoFile
Repeat
(etc)

DoFile:
  Open FileName To FL Else Return
  Select FL
  Fin2 = @False
  Loop
ReadNext Id Else Fin2 = @True
  (etc)

The second select in DoFile will overwrite the contents the active select
list of files.

Using redirection this would be handled safely as the outer select is
isolated from the inner one:

Open "VOC" To VOC Else STOP
Execute 'SELECT VOC WITH F1 LIKE F...', SELECT. > FILELIST
Fin = @False
Loop
  ReadNext FileName FROM FILELIST Else Fin = @True
Until Fin Do
  GoSub DoFile
Repeat
(etc)
