RE: [U2] Java calss calls a universe subroutine

2005-10-03 Thread gerry-u2ug
Hi Kathy , 

now for the simple (useable) answer , 


...

UniSubroutine mSub = mSession.subroutine ( "*SUB1", 2);

UniDynArray returnValue=Session.CreateDynArray();
mSub.SetArg(0,returnValue);
mSub.SetArg(1,"05");
mSub.Call();

returnVal = mSub.GetArgDynArray(0);

string val11 = returnValue.Extract(1,1).StringValue;
string val12 = returnValue.Extract(1,2).StringValue;
string val13 = returnValue.Extract(1,3).StringValue;

string val21 = returnValue.Extract(2,1).StringValue;
string val22 = returnValue.Extract(2,2).StringValue;
string val23 = returnValue.Extract(2,3).StringValue;

string val31 = returnValue.Extract(3,1).StringValue;
string val32 = returnValue.Extract(3,2).StringValue;
string val33 = returnValue.Extract(3,3).StringValue;

...


The universe subroutine catalogued as *SUB1 would look like this :

SUBROUTINE SUB1( returnValue , inputValue )
returnValue=""

returnValue<1,1>=11
returnValue<1,2>=12
returnValue<1,3>=13

returnValue<1,1>=21
returnValue<1,2>=22
returnValue<1,3>=23

returnValue<1,1>=31
returnValue<1,2>=32
returnValue<1,3>=33
END

Subject: [U2] Java calss calls a universe subroutine


Hi list,

I need you guys help.



I am a Java programmer and new to Universe. Could anybody show me how to
call a universe subroutine which returns a list of values?



Ex. sub1 (var in)

Returns three rows:

a1,b1,c1

a2,b2,c2

a3,b3,c3



How could I loop through these three rows and get each value?



Is something like:

UniSubroutine mSub = mSession.subroutine ( "sub1", 10);
mSub.setArg( 1, "05" );
mSub.call();

Should I use UniDataSet for the ResultSet returned?

Thanks in advance.

Kathy

Re: [U2] Java calss calls a universe subroutine

2005-10-03 Thread Mark Johnson
In its simplest form there are 2 subroutines, internal and external.

Internal subroutines are contained within the primary source code and have
full access to every variable the primary program has. You are not really
leaving the program. You're just in another place with a known place to go
back to (RETURN). The routine's labels are either numeric or alphanumeric
starting with a letter.

A=11 ; GOSUB 100
A=92 ; GOSUB 100
STOP
100 PRINT A+1
RETURN

displays 12 then 93.

External subroutines are themselves separate compiled programs that need to
be registered (cataloged) in a common area, either the VOC (each account's
root directory) or a shared directory system, ie CTLG or CTLGTB.

The major advantage is that the same routine can be shared by one or more
other programs as well as dictionary items. Thus, all the necessary
information must be passed to the subroutine either in a parameter list,
standard COMMON or Named COMMON.

The most obvious is the parameter list. For example
A=5 ; B=13
CALL MULTIPLY(A,B,ANS)
PRINT ANS
A=10 ; B=20
CALL MULTIPLY(A,B,ANS)
PRINT ANS
END

SUBROUTINE MULTIPLY(FIRSTNUM, SECONDNUM, ANSWER)
ANSWER=FIRSTNUM * SECONDNUM
RETURN ;* to calling program
END

If you were to read the source code of a contemporary language, ie VB, the
called subs are non-drop-through parts of the same program. Unless you
incorporate DLL's or other MS magic, you're basically in the same single
program. In MS, CALL and GOSUB are somewhat interchangable. In MV, they're
night and day different with the only similarity being their conclusion with
a RETURN.

As with all parameter lists and COMMONS, the variables must be in sync. MV
has 3 kinds of variables, Dimensioned arrays, File handles and everything
else. We do not have integer, floating, long, alphabetic, boolean or other
tricky variables like other languages offer. If it's not a dimensioned array
or a file handle, it's just a variable.

BTW, the entire database concept in variables is called a dynamic array
which is nothing more than a fancy alpha-numeric string variable with
certain ascii characters as field delimiters. It qualifies as an 'everything
else' as well.

OPEN "INVENTORY" TO F.INVENTORY ELSE STOP (no flames please)
DIM A(100) ; MAT A=""
B="BOY" ; C=39; D="FRED"
CALL WHATEVER(F.INVENTORY, MAT A, B, C, D, TOMMY)
PRINT TOMMY
END

SUBROUTINE WHATEVER(F.INVENTORY, MAT A, B, C, D, TOMMY)
DIM A(100)
MATREAD A FROM F.INVENTORY, B ELSE MAT A=""
TOMMY=A(C):" ":D
RETURN ;* to calling program

I'm sure that there are many programming books to offer examples of these 2
kinds of subroutines. You can also review the existing source code that
you're dealing with and begin developing your MV skillset by learning the
'house rules' methods therein.

Keep in mind that MV is non-standardized and you will be witness to much
discussion in this forum on the various ways to skin a cat.

So to answer your question, you make up your own list of variables to
provide and variables to obtain and place them in the parameter list and let
the sub do its magic. Mine were ANSWER and TOMMY.

My 2 cents
Mark Johnson

A few years ago I was on a pretty good multi-person phone interview with a
large Ohio software company when the topic of 'standards' came up. I
responded that I respect the 'house rules'. Then they asked whether I use
the 4 letter word and when I replied yes, you'd have thought I was I was
dressing up as Hitler for a Bar Mitzvah. They couldn't have concluded that
otherwise 60 minute interview any faster. It was like I had the plague.

Re: [U2] Good Programming Practice Question.........

I do like your use of the word 'strategy'. That probably better defines a
programmer's approach to solving any particular problem, especially given
the diverse environments one may encounter.

RE: [U2] [UD] How to build a VOC to a file on another machine...

2005-10-03 Thread colin.alfke
CA.TEST:   
DIR
\\192.168.0.30\F\unidata\current\qa\CAPROGS
\\dev\F\unidata\current\qa\d_CAPROGS 

Works fine for me. UD 5.1.27 on Windows. "F" is a shared directory. DEV
resolves to the same IP address as line 2 (the two are interchangeable).

I find the problem with mapping a drive is "keeping" the map between
sessions.

SV: [U2] [UD] How to build a VOC to a file on another machine...

2005-10-03 Thread Björn Eklund
Hi,
you should do this via NFA, at least we do. 

The file pointer to the VOC-file on the remote server could look like this:
001: FX
002: UDT
003: MACHINE remote_server, VOC /test/account1, FILE VOC, UDTHOME
/apps/ud52,UDTBIN /apps/ud52/bin

Then you need to set up NFA of course

Dmne: [U2] [UD] How to build a VOC to a file on another machine...


I am writing a simple Replication 'Heartbeat' in a phantom process.
 
I have two sets of 'DIR' files, one on the subscriber, one on the publisher
- one folder per Replication Group.
 
I want to write a transaction on the publisher, then read from the
subscriber a few minutes later to make sure it's there to 'know' that
replication is actually up and running -- if the transaction does not show
up on the subscriber, the phantom will write to a file our standard menu
processes will watch.
 
I'm having a problem building a pointer from one machine to the other - I've
made the Subscriber files 'shared' and can see them from the Publisher's
explorer window ...
 
But how do I turn that in a VOC entry?
 
Example:
REPTEST01 is the file on the Subscriber:
DIR
REPTEST01
D_REPTEST01
 
I've created a share called SUB_REPTEST01  (so the name on the Publisher
will be different)
 
I can see it from the Publisher's Explorer Window under
\\SubHost\SUB_REPTEST01
 
And I plan to use the 'local' dictionary for file opens since all I need is
to read, no locking, no worries... So I tried this as a VOC on the Publisher
account:
 
DIR
\\SubHost\SUB_REPTEST01
D_REPTEST01
 
but this gives me an 
errno-2: No such file or directory
can not stat() in U_get_fileid(),fname=\\SubHost\SUB_REPTEST01  Open
file error.
 
I don't have OFS running here - is that needed?  Or what simple thing am I
missing to open this 'remote' file?
