RE: [U2] Why does the IF statement think these values are different?
Hi All, I thought I would send out the solution to this problem. The IF statement took these values to be different although they appear equal. We used string math as was suggested to us and that worked. Our Vendor (Columbia Ultimate) escalated to IBM, and the suggestion was to use $OPTIONS COMP.PRECISION. We inserted this at the start of the subroutine, and the IF statement handled the comparison as one would expect. CUSTOMCALC: 451: PRINT INTREC:' ':PRNREC:' # ':INTPAY:' ':PRNPAY :: S 24016.35 978.56 # 24016.35 978.56 IBM's response was: IBM response This is a case of 'what you see' isn't what you get. UniVerse is applying a PRECISION to the values on display. Hence, UniVerse might display for example 1. but the actual value stored could be 1.01. In the example (in the case), the values are stored internally as 'float' data types. The comparison using equals or non-equals (=/#) is based upon what UniVerse considers a zero. That is determined by the setting for WIDE0 in the uvconfig. For example would .0001 (+ or -) be considered a zero? While UniVerse includes several features (WIDE0, $options STRING.MATH, VEC.MATH, COMP.PRECISION) the reason the routines fail in the relational test is not due to UniVerse but do to how floating values are stored by the hardware. A failure in a UniVerse basic program can be reproduced within a c-program as well. One simply needs to do the same arithmatic operations in the same order and the comparison test should be the same. You can change WIDE0 which will for the entire system alter how comparisons (=, , =, , =, #, etc) are handled. Or, alter the logic for a specific program by adding '$OPTIONS' to the program. Can this problem be worked down to a smaller program, ie. retrieve the fields indicated and do the math, rather than having all of the other program logic included? End IBM response Regards, Steve --- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/

Re: [U2] [UV] Locked tape drive
SH out and get to su (su -) and then do: fuser -u /dev/rmt1 That should give you a list of PIDs 'attached' to the device. Do: ps -ef | grep PID where PID = one of the PIDs the fuser command returned. You can then determine of those processes can be killed or not. Be careful. HTH Karl quote who=Steve Ferries Hi All, AIX 5.3 UV 10.1.14 We have a tape drive that we cannot access.

RE: [U2] [UV] Locked tape drive
Be careful with fuser - you need to make sure you get the right device. You may need to check if rmt1 is linked (hard or soft) to any other devices. If you do an ls -l what is the numeric value after the permissions column? If that is anything other than 1 then it would indicate that the file is linked to/from other files - and that could be why fuser doesn't give you the information you expect.

[U2] UD: Login users
I run UD 7.1 on Windows 2K3. We're testing an ASP server and find the need
for our Windows staff to create user's to login to UniData quite onerous.
We'd prefer that our ASP clients be able to create their own users from
within UniData and manage this process themselves. Is this even possible
in the U2 products?
We created a directory for all ASP accounts in E:\ASP. We've created a
unique Windows group called UniData and removed all permissions on this
directory except for Administrators and UniData group members (certain
support personnel get assigned to the UniData group. Each account has a
group called UniData{AcctName} (so we end up with a number of groups at
least equal to the number of accounts under the E:\ASP directory. Again,
we remove all permissions on this account-directory except for
Administrators, UniData, and UniData{AcctName} group members.
Now when each user is created we need to:
1) Create a Windows user as a member of users and UniData{AcctName}
groups
2) Use UniAdmin to create a user profile for this user that sets up the
users startup directory to their account
3) Create a user profile within the application with the same password as
the Windows user to be used by the application.
Previous to UniData, we could manage all access to the dbms from within the
application, so we were never involved with managing ASP client's users.
I'm hoping there is some way we can avoid this administration task.
Thanks,
Bill Haskett
