   Gah. .NET is wasted data bloat when you really need a
 specific and potentially static XML format for data
 transport. Just because .NET uses XML as a layer doesn't
 make it the best fit for all XML solutions. You know that
 better than anyone, T! :P

Sure, I've used XML in many different ways precisely because there is no
best fit for all solutions.  (Wasted most of my time on DTD but that's
another story.)  I didn't mean to imply that XML is easy with .NET because
.NET is built on XML.  I'm saying the .NET Framework has a well documented
class library dedicated to making it easy to work with XML, and this can be
invoked from U2 or with U2 as a data source.

Don't take my word for it, here's one reference:
http://tinyurl.com/drf5q
And 170,000 more:
http://www.google.com/search?hl=enq=xml+ado.net+schema


 Plus, there's more XML
 development tools out there than the .NET development
 suite and the .NET framework for Windows.

Yes, but the question was asked and .NET wasn't one of the solutions
presented, even though large companies like SAP are spending billions of
dollars to implement solutions around this technology.

 PHP and Perl
 both have native XML handling modules that work either as
 DOM or SAX parsers and validators. There's the Xerces and
 Cocoon library sets for lower level languages. I
 implemented cXML integration long before .NET was even
 considered a technology in Windows, using samples from
 the Xerces ANSI C dev kit and some dataBASIC.   

I think the chances of an MV developer using the Xerces ANSI C dev kit are
far less than than an MV developer using VB.NET or C#.  I agree that PHP
and Perl have excellent XML handling, but those tools are usually used in a
different context than I had in mind.  I was thinking it would be easy to
have a single executable which imports U2 data into a data set on one side,
then have a mapping of such data to a schema on the other side, and then
use a small bit of code (like one line?) to do the conversion in between.
This is not a simple solution like the Web Services thing but it can be
just as simple and effective as any other presented here so far.


  I don't have the XML Bible and I probably won't buy it.
 That's like buying a book on buying books. It's really
 pointless unlesss you have no clue what XML really is.

Funny you should say that.  I bought it for my wife several years ago.  She
was asked by one of her clients, a prominent MV-based company who shall
remain nameless, if she could work with them on their XML strategy.  At the
time neither she nor they had a clue about XML.


 If you know what XML is, you can find tools to help you
 design a solution or buy the solution you need to make
 something happen.

Glen, gear heads like us do our RD off the net, and I'm nowhere near as
gear-headed as you in most areas.  :)  This solution that George is looking
for isn't one of the easy ones.  Most people will probably buy the books
and try to do it on their own.  Then they'll realize they can't do it by
reading a single book and they either drop the project or call for help.

 Regardless, data format specs are typically backwards compatible.

I was referring to syntax for SOAP, XML-RPC, XPath, XQuery, and other
fledgling protocols and languages that we find in books from Wrox Press,
Que, IDG and others.  The books are often bleeding edge, at the risk of
being invalid as soon as they hit the shelves.

 The key is to find out
 what your requirements are, to meet guidelines for the
 implementation. If you can meet the specs for the current
 guidelines, then make sure that your design is
 considerate of additional elements and attributes.
 Anytime you solidify your design around a single document
 spec, you'll be stuck there forever or until someone has
 the guts to rip it all apart and rebuild it.   

Agreed.  The thing to do as your writing this stuff is to ask yourself how
much you'd need to rip up if someone decides to add a new node next month.
If your answer is oh crud or something similar then consider a different
approach.

T

 Check out this MARC to ONIX translation map for XML
 reference. There is a MARC::XML module for Perl, if the
 data you're access is in MARC format.
 http://www.loc.gov/marc/onix2marc.html#mapping 
 
 There is a raw XML parser on http://picksource.com, which
 I posted a long time ago. It translates the elements,
 attributes/values, and element values into a
 3-dimensional MV array. Patrick Payne posted a GPL XML
 tool kit, which provides node extraction, node insertion,

[U2] DOWNLOAD 7.13 is available

2005-09-21 Thread David L. Rotman
Version 7.13 of DOWNLOAD is available from:
ftp.cedarville.edu 

Here are the changes compared to version 7.12:
*   Add @COUNTER (running counter) as a pre-defined AT variable
*   Bug fix (DEFAULT SUBVALUE.SEPARATOR did not work)
*   Bug fix (Using @RECORD required TYPE to be in DICT.DICT).
*   Bug fix (for XML output, a null value in an association caused
*  the rest of the data values to slide up)
*   Bug fix (output file specified in VOC via @HOME did not work)
*   Bug fix (EVAL expression with embedded quotation marks did not work)

The @COUNTER variable provides an easy way to sequence
the output records.  For example, 
   SELECT CUSTOMERS SAMPLE 4 BY ORDER.TOTAL
   DOWNLOAD CUSTOMERS \
@COUNTER @ID CUSTNAME CUSTZIP ORDER.TOTAL
would produce output like this:
   1,3048,Acme Pest Control,40867,508.76
   2,1324,Zoom Accessories,90911,1356.80
   3,2928,Kontainer Cats,12087,2389.15
   4,5298,Ben Jewelers,60611,5087.12
The sequence number is handy when performing analysis
in Excel in case you want to restore the file to its original order.

I would encourage people who use DOWNLOAD to join the DOWNLOAD
list-serv.  The list is low-volume, so you won't get bombarded with lots of
mail.  To join, send a message to:

with a subject line of subscribe (without the quotes).


For those folks not familiar with DOWNLOAD...
DOWNLOAD is a utility program which produces output files in
CSV, tab-delimited, WordPerfect, HTML, XML, dBASE, or DIF formats.
DOWNLOAD is easy to use, because it uses syntax like 
the LIST statement.  The reference manual on our ftp site
will give you more details.

Hi Andy,
 Looks like several posts, did you resolve this?

 I saw a couple of suggestions in the emails, here's my 2 cents for
a
program that will set the setting for an HP Laserjet.  Note, we have a
printer definitions files where you enter the 'hex' codes for the escape
sequences to setup the printer and a hex escape sequence to return the
printer to the default settings.  This is very nice as the user logs on he
has a default printer, he can change the printer (from a menu), or a
process
can be defined to use only the specified printer.  Anyway, when user prints
the 'software' know which printer is to be used and sends the 'setup'
escape
sequence and when the print job is complete the 'software' sends the
'reset'
escape sequence to the printer.
 Here is an example program for this and at the end a list of hex
commands for a few HP Laserjet and Epson LQ printers - these are old lists
and hopefully contain the correct codes.

** PROGRAM : SETUP.HP.LASERJET
** PURPOSE : Send Escape Codes to HP LaserJet
**

GOT.CODE=0
BEGIN CASE
   CASE ANS=L ; CODE=1B266C314F ; GOT.CODE=1 ;* Set Landscape mode
   CASE ANS=P ; CODE=1B266C304F ; GOT.CODE=1 ;* Set Portrait mode
   CASE ANS=R ; CODE=1B45   ; GOT.CODE=1 ;* Reset to Default

END CASE
IF GOT.CODE THEN
   PRINT ICONV(CODE,'MX'):
END

Hi gang,

I'm in the process of tweaking one of our reports which use a LIST ...
LPTR command line to spool the output to the default printer. However, the

to set the orientation with SETPTR prior to the execution of the LIST

I tried to use the following statement but that doesn't seem to change the

Will,

possibly, more to the point,

Business buy solutions, people buy OS's first, programs second.

Most of the LUGS are people oriented, and don't like to
buy :) which is why open source seems to be a fairly common
thread to the LUGS. 

In order to get UV more widely used (at least UV PE), it
needs to be easier to implement for function, right now the
web interface to MySQL is easier. Granted, UV is far
more powerful/flexible with the integrated programming aspect,
but it does not play well with others (at least cheaply).

From the PDF manual:  This software was written at Cedarville University by

software, but this software is not to be sold

by itself nor as part of any other software package.

We've been using it for years... it's wonderful.  Particularly the XML

2005-09-21 Thread Tony Gravagno
Mark, you're looking for a solution to reporting issues but you don't say
what those issues are, then you present a couple products and ask for
comments.  See the paradox?

Can you tell us what sorts of problems you're having that need to be solved
and then maybe we can comment on the suitability of the products mentioned,
or go off the menu to suggest something which is either more appropriate
or which can be used in conjunction with the products mentioned.

For example, I have nothing but praise for MITS over any platform.  MITS is
a Business Intelligence tool.  Crystal Reports is a tool to make reports
attractive.  If you want great looking BI then you need to combine tools,
not just compare them.  If your problems relate to distribution of reports,
or assembling disparate data into one consolidated bound tome of
attractive business information, then you are certainly looking at a
multi-product solution.  An example would be binding financial reports with
embedded graphs, adding new product glossies and a cover letter, then
addressing an envelope to be sent off to stockholders.  All of this can be
done at runtime with the right set of tools (in most cases with no changes
to existing MV code) - again it depends on your exact business
requirements.

[U2] UV User Name

2005-09-21 Thread Cooper, Rudy
Does anyone know where UV gets it's list of active user names ?



E.g., when doing a LISTU or PORT.STATUS on UV 10.1 on a W2K box, it
shows hostname\username.



We've had instances where for a particular user, devadmin, it has
normally shows SAGEPUB\DEVadmin when displaying the @ACCOUNT variable.



At various times for the same login it has shown SAGEPUB\devadmin, i.e,
lower case user name.  Does anyone know how and why this happens, or
where it's controlled ?



The same results are also shown in LISTU and PORT.STATUS.



Thx,

I have done considerable research on reporting against UniData over the
past, atlhough I have not necessarily kept current on all alternatives in
the past year. After working with several SQL-based approaches, I ended up
recommending the Informer product from Entrinsik to folks
(www.entrinsik.comhttp://www.entrinsik.com)
because it thinks like U2 and has a good, modern architecture. For OLAP, I
know there are people satisfied with the MITS tools as well. I am not
familiar with Monarch, but am familiar with Crystal Reports and it is a
reasonably good SQL-based tool, but doing SQL against PICK is
unnecessarily painful in some respects.

If so, how would you rate them? (Especially on initial cost and

[U2] UniObjects

2005-09-21 Thread Lance Jahnke
Hello group. I have UniObjects from the 10.1a client installed on a
Winblows 2003 server running IIS version 6. I have a single ASP page
that basically connects to my UV 10.1.1 Linux (Redhat AS3) server, calls
a UV BASIC subroutine with parameters, returns to ASP and does a
response.write html. This has been working fine for almost a year now.

I have just started to experiment with html frames where I can basically
have multiple reports on a single WEB page. Currently I have 3 panes on
a page with a report running in each pane (http call back to UniVerse
via UniObjects). * Sometimes * I will receive an ASP script error in one
of the 3 frames. Other-times this process works just fine. Considering
ASP is an industrial strength platform, I am wondering if UniObjects is
having a problem firing 3 http requests simultaneously to populate the 3
frames. Any thoughts on this?

Thanks.

RE: [U2] U2/UV Enhanced reporting tools

Mark, you're looking for a solution to reporting issues but you don't say
what those issues are, then you present a couple products and ask for
comments.  See the paradox?
/snip

I apologize for a poorly written post.  

Well... what I think the users think they want...  is the ability develop 
reports, be they one shot deals or jobs run every day, on their own.  

It seems from your post and Dawn Wolthuis', MITS or Informer might be what they 
are asking for...  If only they new what they were asking for...

Thanks for your input!

Mark

Take a look at Informer
(http://www.entrinsik.com/solutions/informer.cfm).
We are still in the process of development, but it is very impressive.


Add another vote for Informer.  And not _just_ because it's a Struts-based 
webapp. ;)


We're still sorting through our out-of-control dictionaries to decide what 
I-Descriptors to use with Informer, but so far it's shaping up to be very 
nice.


And support has been exceptional, even when I wanted to toss their 
authentication/authorization mechanism and insert a custom JAASRealm to work 
with the campus Kerberos server.  While I'd much prefer to see the source 
code, they were at least willing to give me enough information about the 
inner workings so that I could be confident my code would work without 
breaking any of theirs.

Re: [U2] UV User Name

2005-09-21 Thread Dave Taylor
Rudy,

The Hostname is the Full Computer Name under Control PanelSystemProperties
in Windows.

The Username is the name entered into the UV Enter User Name prompt when
first logging on to UV.  This User Name must be entered into Windows as a
User ID and that User ID entry includes a path to the UV account where you
want that User to start.

The Windows User entry also includes a password that must be entered into
the UV Enter Password prompt that follows the Enter User Name prompt.

hth,

Dave

Subject: [U2] UV User Name


 Does anyone know where UV gets it's list of active user names ?



 E.g., when doing a LISTU or PORT.STATUS on UV 10.1 on a W2K box, it
 shows hostname\username.



 We've had instances where for a particular user, devadmin, it has
 normally shows SAGEPUB\DEVadmin when displaying the @ACCOUNT variable.



 At various times for the same login it has shown SAGEPUB\devadmin, i.e,
 lower case user name.  Does anyone know how and why this happens, or
 where it's controlled ?



 The same results are also shown in LISTU and PORT.STATUS.



 Thx,



 Rudy

[U2][UD]RFS -Recoverable File System

2005-09-21 Thread Manuel Owens
UCB is interested in enabling the RFS on our UniData Ben installation 
for use with our transaction files.
I would be interested in hearing from anyone out there who has taken 
this step.  I am particularly interested in
any configuration/performance issues that arose from converting files to 
recoverable and/or surprises encountered.


I would also welcome feedback on the positive impact the use of RFS has 
had at your site.

Check the list archives for more information on UniObjects and thread 
safety.  Google turned up this post on the u2ug message board:
