Re: [U2] U2 accounting software question

2012-05-24 Thread Leverett, Brendon
A few years back a company I worked for had dealings with Stamina (and Ross 
directly). We interfaced to the Visage GL - all worked well and 
support/development requirements were always met.

I have had no direct dealings with the product since and have no business 
relationship with Stamina but I will recommend them for the services they 
provided 'back in the day'. From the odd word around town in Australia the 
product is still alive and well. 

Worth considering.

Unfortunately the support organization we used to operate with in the USA is no

our Visage R5 General Ledger  Financial Reporting packages might fit the bill.

These can be deployed stand alone (ie: without our full ERP offering), though 
of course you would need to develop interfaces from your subsidiary ledger 
systems as required -- reasonably straight forward, just throw records into a 
file  pass a select list to our POST routine.
There is also scope to include additional modules that you may consider part of 
the General Ledger banner (eg: Asset Register, Bank Reconciliation/Treasury 
etc.) if appropriate, now or in the future.

Our enquiries typically support drilling through to source transactions, so 
there may need to be some work done to provide that capability into your 
existing systems

Multi-currency is fully supported if required, as well as multiple 
consolidations across  within corporate boundaries if required. Beyond the 
basic manual journals  auto-reversing accruals there are variety of ratio 
posting options.

Whilst we offer our solution via the cloud, we can also provide on-premise, 
which I assume is probably what you are after?

Re: [U2] SHA256 digest possible?

2012-05-24 Thread Symeon Breen
The Digest function looks to only allow MD5 or SHA1,  SHA256 is SHA2 but
digest does not appear to support that.   I am not sure what the ENCRYPT
function allows. The manual says there is a list of ciphers in the Unibasic
Extensions manual, but I cannot find any listing of those in there 

 Otherwise, if you are on linux you could use sha256sum   e.g
echo -n string to digest | sha256sum

Subject: [U2] SHA256 digest possible?

Not an expert in U2 so this could be stupid.. I'm using DIGEST and OCONV to
produce a hex digest of plain-text passwords as users enter them. Passwords
created through external sources are SHA256 so I was wondering if there is a
way to get that to happen in UniBasic?


PRSLT = DIGEST('sha1',PWD,1,PDIGEST)
PHASH = OCONV(PDIGEST, 'MX0C')

Re: [U2] matrix dimension

2012-05-24 Thread Charles Stevenson

So LARGE.ARRAY is 2-dimensional  SMALL.ARRAY is 1 dimensional.

The real value of INMAT is telling the SIZE of (each) dimension.

Yes, I'm deliberately being picky.  I've found it very frustrating to be 
hard-limited to 1- or 2-dimnsional arrays.

What would be so wrong to allow:

  DIM BETTER.ARRAY( 23, 14, 10, 2, 3 )

Seems like it would be an easy enough feature to add, completely 
backward compatible.


Why isn't dimension arbitrary?

Re: [U2] matrix dimension

2012-05-24 Thread Martin Phillips
Hi,

Multiple dimensions in DIM implies that all elements in each dimension would 
exist, around 25000 in your example. Using dynamic arrays, even as part of a 
dimensioned array is much more flexible as unused elements may not need to 
exist. And UV allows seven dimensional dynamic arrays - more than enough for 
most users!!

Of course, indexing into a dimensioned array would be faster.

Your request is close to something we were asked for in QM, arrays of arrays. 
Although technically easy we have not done it as the user requesting it 
withdrew the request. The hardest part is how to fit it into the language 
syntax.

One of the things I've asked for in the past has been alternate language
runtimes, for example embedding JavaScript (e.g. Google V8 engine) into U2.
Then you *could* have unlimited nesting ..
