[U2] RICOH Copiers
Anyone have experience using RICOH multi-purpose copiers as printers? We've just purchased a RICOH Aficio MP6001. When someone copies something or sends a job to it from Windows, they have to enter a user validation code. We started out by setting it up just like we do the HP printers on our Windows server. We don't use drivers, the printer is set up to use TCP/IP RAW protocol and we simply send PCL commands to control the printer. We set the copier up the same way, but couldn't get a test page to print. When I talked to tech support, they said that we needed to install a PCL driver. They also said that to get around the validation code, we should set the printer device as a black and white printer. We still cannot get a test page. Any advice will be appreciated.

Re: [U2] UniVerse DOS Command - Batch File Error {Unclassified}
Don,
The DOS command is pretty badly broken, particularly if you need to
try to use a quoted string with embedded spaces (e.g. '... C:\Program
Files\MyApp\AppName.exe ...').
After I bitched about it, a new GCI function UVRunCommand was
introduced (in 10.0 IIRC).
You need code like this
-
DECLARE GCI UVRunCommand
DOS.COMMAND.STRING = the DOS Command you want to run
MY.GCI.STATUS = UVRunCommand('c:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe /c
':DOS.COMMAND.STRING)
IF MY.GCI.STATUS NE 0 THEN
error process
END
--
I'm sure UVRunCommand is documented somewhere (apart from the Release
Notes when it was introduced), I'm just not sure where. Nor do I
understand why they just didn't fix the DOS command.
Hope this helps
Regards
Mike

[U2] Tab Delimitted LIST Output...
WELL - found that this worked for me also - from REAL ECL only. And it
looked hideous typing (wrapped the code around to the start.) I found that
this method would NOT work from the TCL shell provided in SB+, as the tab
entry caused the 'shell command line' to close up as if you were pressing
'enter'.
OK - good deal that this works. And it's intuitive except that it's not
pretty, nor is it 'usable' from within SB+.
So I have a work-around!! Hopefully the new 'command line' interface that is
coming out Real Soon Now works more like SQL does will have the ability to
handle this more 'neatly' than this as well.
Thanks Larry! I should have read the oldest response first!!

Also - if you are using dictionary items with conversion codes and want the
data in the output file to have the conversion code applied, don't forget to
first run the ECL command:

Re: [U2] UniVerse DOS Command - Batch File Error
Thanks. I'm using a different folder name to contain the batch file so I'll try moving it back to TEMP proper and see if it makes a difference. I'll also have a look at the environment variables. -Original Message- From: u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org [mailto:u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org] On Behalf Of Bob Woodward Sent: Tuesday, November 02, 2010 4:12 PM To: U2 Users List Subject: Re: [U2] UniVerse DOS Command - Batch File Error Something I've run into before is location of the TEMP directory.

Re: [U2] UniVerse DOS Command - Batch File Error unclassified
Like Bob, I had a similar problem on Windows 2003 (UV 10.2.10) and found it was permissions on the temp folder that was causing the problem. Check ENV at TCL to see if the temp folder for UV is different from the temp folder you use when logged into windows. By default Windows is C:\temp and UV is C:\Documents and Settings\Default User\Local Settings\Temp. You have got to have write access to the folder for it to work.

[U2] Using LIST to generate a delimited file.
Yes -- this does work --
It also turns out it DOES work using the 'tab' key, but looks bad, but that
it will not work from an SB+ '/TCL shell'.
I'm sort of hoping the new features (which includes a 'database viewer' I
hear) will make this kind of thing better for us going into SQL-land
settings! Generating a tab-delimited file is something a novice SQL users
can do - it's point and shoot for the most part. I'm hoping our
interpretation is as nice!

EXECUTE STMT
Also - if you are using dictionary items with conversion codes and want the

WELL -- I guess I could go the 3rd Party Product route -- but come on!
EVERY database product can do what I'm asking. It's not rocket science or
anything! (pun unintended!) I could just write BASIC code if I wanted - I'm
trying to find what I'm thinking should already be 'inside' of UniData. If
the answer is 'it is not there' then I will be forced to ask if someone from
Rocket can address 'why not'??
