[U2] Printers
I need to setup printers on a redhat linux box. I have copied setup the .drv file but I don't know what or how to setup the null device for the printer. I am going off of how printers are currently setup on this box. Sorry forgot unix/linux been using windows where this is easy.

Greg, Actually the following in saver: SELECT HRPER WITH EVAL "OCONV(HRP.LAST.NAME,'MCU')" LIKE "'SC'..." (note the extra ' around the text) there are a few alphanumeric characters that are interpreted by SELECT and it will show you weird results when you are not expecting that.

I have tried things like: SELECT HRPER WITH UPCASE(HRP.LAST.NAME) LIKE 'SC...' but all I get is a syntax error. Can someone tell me which function(s) can be used to facilitate this type of search? One solution is to add another dictionary item and uppercase it through the conversion field of the dictionary item. One of the great strengths (and weaknesses) of U2 is that you can have multiple dictionary items defining the same data field. Which sometimes makes it difficult to figure out what the data is supposed to look like, but if organized properly lends itself to selecting and reporting. -- Allen Egerton aegerton at pobox dot com --- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/
Re: [U2] unibasic select woes
Hi Greg, Create a dictionary item named, for example, U.HRP.LAST.NAME, and defined as 001: I 002: UPCASE(HRP.LAST.NAME) Fields 3 onwards as for HRP.LAST.NAME Then do SELECT HRPER WITH U.HRP.LAST.NAME LIKE 'SC...' Alternatively, do SELECT HRPER WITH EVAL "UPCASE(HRP.LAST.NAME)" LIKE 'SC...'

Wol Bingo! Brian I seem to remember a bug in garbage collection at some point. When did it last run (time of day, not date!)? There was something about it not working if the previous run was just before midnight, because all time comparisons were earlier than the last run so it couldn't calculate "time since last run".

The ON ERROR clause should only be used if you need to stay alive and take some recovery action. I'd agree that it is mostly useless if you don't implement an entire strategy to deal with exception handling. Be it I/O exceptions and/or business rule exceptions. Dropping to TCL is one strategy, but it's the year 2007 now...that may of cut in the 1980's, but not any more. ;-) I've seen to many applications that merrying continue on their way, assuming everything is okay. Ignorance is not bliss in critical business applications. I've seen lots of applications with initialisation sections loading critical static data or performing checks that may merely print "error" message or much more common - set variables to empty strings and then carry on! This is extremely common "feature". Of course, 99.98% of the time it's ok...it's not okay when you have to find the problem, of course. I'd recommend an "all or nothing" approach to ON ERROR. And you have to do something graceful to "undo" the transaction. Which where transaction logging may and can help - again - if use correctly and implemented correctly. All of which takes an awful lot of time to retrofit into an existing application (hence, never gets done)... Otherwise, you're kind of wasting your time.
