Re: [U2] [UV] UV903 Course is being offered in New Zealand {Unclassified}
This course has been superseded, according to the IBM website, with one that is
more suited to be a hybrid UniVerse/UniData BASIC programming course. (I
haven't seen the new one yet but would not be really surprised if it were
modelled on one we wrote in the Ardent days.) That said, however, even the old
UV903 is quite suitable for UniData programmers as well as UniVerse
programmers. Subtle differences can be highlighted by the instructor.

Folks,
Apologies to the vast majority of the list who don't have the advantage
of living in NZ, but this is the only way I can think of for getting to
the NZ sites.
Ace Training are advertising the UV903:IBM U2 Universe Database
Programming as being available starting on 12th September in either
Wellington or Auckland.
This course is, as usual, subject to their having sufficient numbers.
I have one potential attendee, so if anyone else on the list has one or
more people who would benefit from this training, please let Ace know.
Or if you know of UV sites in NZ that do UniBasic programming who aren't
on the list, please pass it on to them [as well as encouraging them to
subscribe to the list, of course!]

It's size is limited but configurable by uvconfig's MAXERRLOGENT.

There is ON.ABORT paragraph available to you to handle fatal errors. I trap them and populate another file send emails. 3. On case by case basis, WRITE other basic statements likely to be implicated in errors allow for ON ERROR clauses. Search for ON ERROR in the documentation pdf. I have a utility purpose subroutine that I stick in places like these ON ERROR clauses. The subroutine allows a text argument to be sent from the calling program it also captures SYSTEM(9001) call stack info, then writes all that to a file, which is monitored.

[U2] Large UV VAR abandons Microsoft SQL Server/.NET Effort
Last week, in their quarterly earnings report, Automobile Dealer Software manufacturer Reynolds Reynolds announced they were no longer selling their RGS product - a replacement of their UV based product written using .NET and SQL Server. I've seen several anecdotal accounts of failed MV to SQL projects, but this has some firm numbers attached. After almost 2 years, less than 1 percent of their customer base switched over to the new system, and they wrote off the development effort for $67 million dollars. RR Earnings report: http://biz.yahoo.com/prnews/050721/clth018.html?.v=16 The company announced the discontinuance of the Reynolds Generations Series Suite DMS software product, installed in over 70 dealership locations since its introduction in September 2003. As a result, in its fourth fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2005, the company will write off about $67 million of capitalized software development. The company is currently evaluating any other potential impacts of this decision and may recognize additional costs in the fourth fiscal quarter. --- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/

The more important problem is that the variables are all mapped into a contiguous workspace that is referenced so continously that it's highly unlikely it would ever get paged from memory, while your process is running, except perhaps on systems that were so woefully underbuilt that paging BASIC variables would be the least of your problems. The main argument against it, is that it's not as clear as using True and False, which are nearly universally understood concepts in programming. Coding simply, means less learning curve for your new programmers. I have headed a few programming departments, and in my opinion, in the contest between getting programmers up-to-speed, and getting the machine to run as efficient as possible; the programmers have to win every time.

RE: [U2] [UD] Select on an attribute
Noah, Not directly, but *if* File2 is indexed by its FILE1_ID attribute there are a couple ways. Assume that I have 2 files, such as customer and invoice File1: has 1 attribute, ID File2: has 2 attributes, ID and FILE1_ID I have a savedlist with ID numbers from file1. I want to select all records in file2 which have FILE1_ID matching the savedlist I already have. Is this possible? 1. In basic, something like: OPEN 'File2' to F2.FVAR GETLIST [list of File1 IDs] F2ID.LIST = '' LOOP WHILE READNEXT F1.ID SELECTINDEX 'FILE1_ID', F1.ID FROM F2.FVAR TO 10 READLIST SUBLIST FROM 10 THEN F2ID.LIST-1 = SUBLIST REPEAT Now F2ID.LIST has what you want. I'll leave it to you to come up with variations on the theme that suits you. My own generic solution is a utility XSELECT verb (with Keep active flag in VOC4) which takes an active select list of indexed values and generates an active list of corresponding primary ids. In this case: GET.LIST [list of File1 IDs] XSELECT File2 FILE1_ID I wish UV had that verb out of the box. 2. QSELECT, if 1st you set up a voc pointer to the normally hidden type-25 I_File2/INDEX.nnn file (let's call it FILE1.FIE2.IDX in the VOC) : GET.LIST [list of File1 IDs] QSELECT FILE1.FILE2.IDX Chuck Stevenson --- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/

Re: [U2] [UV] Select Question
There are a few problems with this theory. @AM is only a typical component of U2 systems and so would not, most likely, have been included in the Advanced @AM might not have been available then, but EQUATE was. Most programs written before @AM was available usually equated the delimiters (FM, AM, VM, SVM, etc) whether you used them or not. Your fingers just typed in the EQUATE statements, even if your brain was not working. The more important problem is that the variables are all mapped into a contiguous workspace that is referenced so continously that it's highly unlikely it would ever get paged from memory, while your process is running, except perhaps on systems that were so woefully underbuilt that paging BASIC variables would be the least of your problems. The distinction with using an EOF variable is that it is not referenced, until the next READNEXT. Each new variable that is read into memory will push the EOF variable further to the back. This definitely caused frame faults (I think that's what they were called) on Advanced Pick. On either U2 systems or on properly built systems, I doubt it makes a bit of difference, it might even slow things down. Also, I'm not sure which book this was in. Wasn't there a book called Pick for Professionals, by Harvey Rodstein? It might have been in that one.

Re: [U2] [UV] Select Question
The more important problem is that the variables are all mapped into a contiguous workspace that is referenced so continously that it's highly unlikely it would ever get paged from memory, while your process is running, except perhaps on systems that were so woefully underbuilt that paging BASIC variables would be the least of your problems. The distinction with using an EOF variable is that it is not referenced, until the next READNEXT. Each new variable that is read into memory will push the EOF variable further to the back. This definitely caused frame faults (I think that's what they were called) on Advanced Pick. On either U2 systems or on properly built systems, I doubt it makes a bit of difference, it might even slow things down. Charlie Rubeor I challenge whatever book made this contention. In the original Pick architecture variable descriptors are 10 bytes each and live together in groups of 50 or more (as was alluded to above). Since the EOF is a single character it would fit in the descriptor itself. In order for the EOF variable to be swapped out of memory for lack of reference, all other variables whose descriptors live in the same frame as the EOF variable would have to be unreferenced for the same period of time -- highly unlikely.

RE: [U2] Connecting SQL server from Universe
Read or update? Doesn't matter, my experience is using SQL XML on SQL 2K. We use http from UniVerse to update MSSQL with updategrams (an MS term). It works well, no need to install anything that wasn't already installed. Works across port 80 /or 443 through our firewalls. Not as fast as but reasonable performance compared with ODBC et al. Convenience overrides. You need MS SQL 2000 with IIS configured with support for SQL XML. On the UV side we just use 'EXECUTE LIST ... TOXML CAPTURING XML.UPDATE.DATA' to generate the XML updategrams but I understand recent versions of UV have improved support for generating XML in basic. There are risks using that method as large amounts of data in the capturing variable could blow your workspace. You can also use IIS SQL XML support to read (XML) data from MSSQL.
