Re: [U2] Using PHP
...

Re: [U2] ESC in Unidata
It is probably the escape key, ascii 27. This syntax usually is telling a terminal (emulator) or printer to do something special. Each device has its own 'escape sequence' language, as such, that tells it to do different things. The sequence of characters that follow the ESC character are very specific instructions for that particular device. For example, move the cursor to a specific row and column on the screen, or change the characters per inch on the printer to 10. I cannot tell by this code alone what it is trying to do.

Re: [U2] PHP vs Java
Question to those who have used the UOJ connector... Is extract as stupid in Java as it is in PHP? With PHP you can't use this to extract an attribute to a local variable and then loop through the mv's like you would in BASIC. Every freakin' routine that wants to get a multivalue has to use Field(n) to get the attribute number first, then Field(m) for the value, and that's a RPITA. I've taken to parsing delimiters and using explode() in PHP to break things up by delimiter and convert the entire dynamic array to a first class PHP array; otherwise everything just gets too long and ugly. Does UOJ have this kind of thing as well?

Re: [U2] PHP vs Java
In PHP you can't. If you extract something with Field(n) it appears the whole record goes to the other unidynarray. You still have to use Field(a)-Field(v)-... to get to a specific something even after the assignment. THAT is my biggest beef with this, but fortunately the explode solution works; otherwise I wouldn't even consider recommending PHP with UO.

[U2] UniData File Upgrade
We are migrating from UniData 6.0.4 to UniData 7.2.1. Can we do a simple UNIX cp from the old box to the new box, or have the guts of the UniData files changed in some minor way? Thus far, it looks like it will work, but I don't want to be a month into a LIVE deployment and find there is some subtle difference that we missed.

Re: [U2] PHP vs Java
There's also something to be said for writing a common method to handle these things. Do it once, use your own methods, and forget about it needs to be handled internally.

Re: [U2] UniData File Upgrade
Guess it might be a good idea to rebuild all index's. Do you have a var doing the upgrade or an IBM rep? The docs probably address this.

Re: [U2] [BB] U2 Enhancement Request - WRITE
All, I see that there has been some discussion regarding setting up the EDA Tool. We are having trouble setting up an EDA Data Source. When we test our connection we get the following message stating that the 'Save Data Source Failed' (Could not write data source TEST on server xxx1000.ctc.com. Error message: Failed to write TEST to EDA_DATASOURCE) Can anyone either suggest how to resolve this error or direct us to someone that could? Any help in this area would be greatly appreciated.

So: if you are using EDA (External Database Access) then an error can occur on any file operation due to external permissions (including CREATE.FILE or DELETE.FILE or CNAME).

Re: [U2] UniData File Upgrade
Probably not necessary, but it wouldn't hurt to run convdata against the files after they've been moved to the new system. If your structure isn't complicated this can be as easy as cding to each UniData directory and running convdata *.
