RE: RE: [U2] VB.NET UniObjects Example
Greg: This is a very difficult question. The IBM Knowledge Base is only accessible to IBM authorized VARs. This restriction has been discussed here and, for the most part, declared to be not in the best interests of the U2 product(s). The URL is: http://www-1.ibm.com/support/advsrch.wss?rs=203rt=2 However, you need to contact your VAR to see if they'll give you access to the knowledge base through their access credentials, as most of the documents are locked.

RE: [U2] Trying to run UniAdmin with PE`
Harold: First, you should probably uninstall UniAdmin and any other older U2 client software you have (unless you need it). Then reinstall the new version that comes with UV 10.2 (Try just installing UniAdmin first). Make sure you turn off your AV/Aspyware software first. I believe the most recent version of UniAdmin is 1.3. The reason you want to telnet to localhost is to verify UV is running, along with UV telnet on port 23 (the default port). I only have the same three services running on UV: + Resource Service + Telnet Service + UniRPC Service My netstat shows: C:\Documents and Settings\wphaskettnetstat -a | more Active Connections Proto Local Address Foreign AddressState TCPasibill:telnet asibill:0 LISTENING TCPasibill:31438 asibill:0 LISTENING TCPasibill:2940 localhost:31438ESTABLISHED C:\Documents and Settings\wphaskettnetstat -an | more Active Connections Proto Local Address Foreign AddressState TCP0.0.0.0:23 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING TCP0.0.0.0:31438 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING TCP127.0.0.1:31438127.0.0.1:2940 ESTABLISHED Port 31438 is the UniAdmin port.

I am unable to get UniAdmin to connect despite many combinations of attempts. One thing I find curious is that, with the latest download, the number of services has dropped from four to three . and I wonder if this is somehow related. From release notes in readme.txt, one can start the services from DOS, like so: net start universe net start unirpc net start uvtelnet net start hsrexec The last one does not work, claiming no such service. Universe Control also shows only the first three. Perhaps at 10.2 the last service is dropped deliberately (even if the notes don't reflect that). I don't really care, but I do want to run UniAdmin against the installed PE database to practice using it. My PC is networked on an NT network. I believe we use LAN manager. To start, one must define a connection in UniAdmin. One must fill in boxes for (1) Server Name (2) Transport Type (of course I click the Universe Radio button) I have tried localhost() for Server Name, the default 127.0.0.1 IP address which should mean the current PC, and my network IP address as well, and the specific string localhost() For Transport Type I have tried them all - Default, TCP/IP, and LAN manager Then, clicking on the created connection, I attempt to log in. One must enter (1) Login ID (2) Password The only combination I know is my NT login and password. I get one of two error messages: If I specify localhost() the error is the host name is not valid, or the host is not responding. If I specify any one of the other connections, the error is No RPC connection active. Any suggestions from anyone who has successfully gotten UniAdmin running against Universe PE is much appreciated.

RE: [U2] Upper Case Only
Jeff: This thread is about __MORE__ than just the data! Kevin eloquently pointed out that some of the old ways in the U2 space need to be abandoned for more modern thinking. A certain perspective has survived here for years and this has spilled over into a number of areas where the U2 products have lagged behind in development. This seems to be changing, both with IBM's commitment and with this space's more recent thinking. The current state of affairs in U2 is case-sensitivity. This construct manifests itself negatively in myriad ways; data storage, command execution, indexing, searching, code production, etc, etc, etc. The current work-arounds only address one aspect or another of the problem; e.g. with an environment setting one can compile BASIC code in a case-insensitive mode (great - . What about the other negative aspects of case-sensitivity? There might be another work-around but the solution has not been engineered, and needs to be. Some may want to code in upper-case only. As far as I can see there's nothing wrong with this. But be reasonable; don't __FORCE__ me to do the same !! Most of this thread has addressed the inconvenience of forced-casing or the it shouldn't bother anyone, get used to it perspective. MV was designed to be a dynamic product; not constrained by the arbitrary constraints of other dbms products; which offers tremendous flexibility. But it's hard to describe the difficulties involved in manipulating strings at the application level for simple string searches. These difficulties become larger and larger with each technology one interfaces with (like the web). The solution is simple...give both U2 products the ability, at least to start with, to install as a case-insensitive product; granularity can be added.

Am I able to write anything I want to anywhere I create a path VOC entry? Can I assume UD on NT runs under the administrator's credentials?

RE: [U2] Printing PDF from UniData/AIX

The printers are connected to the network JetDirect cards, and some of them are old (e.g., HP 4+). I don't know how to use cat to send data to an IP address, or I would have tried that.

handles scheduling, performance monitoring, status and other

is all included in the price.
With an SQL Server application, one would have to add that

RE: [Fwd: Re: [U2] IBM Licensing Requirement - MQ Series] {Unclassified}
Cliff: With SQL Server, you also need one or two CAL's (Client Access Licenses) per named user (not concurrent). Plus I believe the more full-featured server versions are more expensive on the server side. A quick look on Google and you'll find an SQL Server Enterprise for $2,000 - $5,000. This product is very inexpensive. It is an unlimited client/device licensing model for a defined number of CPUs. Here's a pretty good whitepaper from Microsoft about the various costs associated with SQL Server, Oracle, and DB2. http://download.microsoft.com/download/1/0/a/10adfeca-48f4-4d89-949a-04167d6 54b40/SQL_UnderstandingDBPricing.doc This gives a small example of a price comparison: Tier Features Sample ProductsPrice Free Limited database Microsoft SQL Desktop $ 0 functionality, Memory Engine (MSDE) Limits, database size limits, etc. Basic Basic database function- MS SQL Server WkGrp Edition$ 500 - ality, Basic security Oracle Std Edition One 5,000 Up to 2 CPUs DB2 Expressper CPU StdFull database function-MS SQL Server Std Edition $5,000 - ality, Basic ManagementOracle Std Edition 15,000 Tools, Up to 4 CPUs DB2 WkGrp Edition per CPU Enterprise High availability MS SQL Server Enterprise $20,000 - Scalability Oracle Enterprise 40,000 High-end mgmt tools DB2 Enterprise per CPU Enterprise security No CPU limit As you can see a basic dbms access model over the web costs about $500 - 5,000 per CPU ! A full featured standard model costs about $5,000 - 15,000 per CPU. Of course, Microsoft products can be purchased from other vendors other than from Microsoft so significant discounts are available. In the above referenced paper, Microsoft also talks about additional costs such as support and service packs. Very interesting reading. I am confident IBM is well aware of MS SQL and Oracle server and client DB licensing models since DB2 plays in the same space. And they've begun playing. I know way too many people using SQL Server in the small to medium business end of the market to accept the notion that Microsoft stinks. From what I learned it is excellent software at a great price. In fact, I've started using it myself for some conversions we're doing on our application. Now all we have to do is get the U2 products priced reasonably and all the software mvDbms developers have developed over the years can be exposed over the web. :-) Bill ...Bill H. wrote: If I figure correctly, a hundred webshares cost $150,000 at $1,500 per webshare retail!

RE: [U2] MvInternet - IBM Licensing Requirement
Somehow or other this thread points out issue(s) mvDbms vendors need to come to grips with. I got onto google and entered SQL Server site license and picked the first link I saw and found out I could get a single processor SQL Server Standard license for $3,500 (or a single processor SQL Server Enterprise license for $7,500). To me this means I get an unlimited user SQL Server license for a single processor for $3,500 (or $7,500 if I'm interested in some advanced analysis features). This is specifically offered for e-commerce applications. It's often been pointed out that the mvDbms products are waay too expensive by comparison. This thread has wildly speculated about possible heavy handed action by IBM in order to continue to overcharge users for U2 products. At this rate there won't be any U2 users left. I don't believe anyone is trying to cheat IBM here (and IBM knows it). Developers are just trying to compete. This is good; for developers and for IBM. :-) Bill -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of David Jordan Sent: Monday, April 18, 2005 5:38 AM To: u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org Subject: RE: [U2] MvInternet - IBM Licensing Requirement I have not heard of a single legal case in the IT world, not just the MV market, brought by a DBMS vendor against a VAR/developer for abuse of this common communications design. I think any company that does so would be committing political suicide, if it allowed its developer base to go so long without action, and then all of a sudden claimed that accepted practices and established connectivity products were now in violation of their legal terms. I am aware of Microsoft doing this. It has done software audits on even large organisations and clobbered then for breaches on SQL Server license. Oracle and IBM have stringent components of their contracts to enable them to do audits. I have had to sign distributor contract with IBM and it stated that they were entitled to investigate my client's sites to ensure that they have proper licenses. As the pressure is on the IT vendors to build revenues and IT spending is down, then sooner or later vendors are going to chase licensing issues to recover revenue. Unless IBM publicly states their position on this topic, takes a developer to court, or just sends a polite please rethink your license consumption note to someone, we will not know how liberal they are about their licensing, regardless of what their license actually says. My guess is that no DBMS company will take action unless there is blatent abuse It is in the licensing contract and a breach of license can lead to criminal charges to Directors. Under SOX one cannot ignore this because one thinks it is unlikely to happen. IBM U2 is not ignoring this area and has already placed restrictions in the use of phantoms to contain this manipulation. Additionally: The examples you give are not the main issue that causes a breach. There are a number of applications where users connect and stay connected but through a 3rd party mechanism that channels tasks through one license to the backend that then distributes to multiple background processes. The intent of this process is not application convenience or style but more an attempt to avoid license fees and many advertise this. It is this avoidance of license revenue that can expose companies legally. I have discussed this issue with both jbase and MvOn as their products talk to Oracle or SQL Server and falls into a similar category where you really only have 1 process accessing the RDBMS, independent of the number of users on jBase or MvOn. Both organisations have very quickly pointed me to Oracle and Microsoft to discuss licensing issues and neither would publicly recommend that companies run using 1 license of Oracle or SQL Server. This is very much on the radar of database vendors.

In order to get rid of one of the two, we used to edit that record in the file, which would bring up the first one in the group - look at it to see if this is a complete and up-to-date version of the record and either save it to move it to the back end of the group or delete it if it was obviously a damaged or partial copy. If we did not delete that record, we would then edit the record with that key again, which would bring up the one that used to be second and was now the first in the group, and decide which one to keep.

Don't know how that works out in a web environment or a device licensing scenario but that's not anywhere near as expensive as it used to be. Also, Microsoft SQL Server can be had for about $5,000 (or less) for an unlimited license on a single processor.

RE: [U2] K = K
Now that I think about this, K is the array being traversed? We simply remove the next attribute/value/subvalue in array K and assigning this value to DUM. For example: K = I^AM^HAPPY]TO]READ^THIS^LIST REMOVE DUM FROM K SETTING MORE would result in: DUM = I K= the above array MORE = 2 However, (from the documentation), the pointer is reset to the beginning of dynamic.array whenever dynamic.array is reassigned. Therefore, dynamic.array should not be assigned a new value until all elements have been extracted (that is, until variable = 0). So, the line K=K simply reassigns the array to itself, thus resetting the pointer. In UniData and D3 the REMOVE statement looks like: REMOVE variable FROM dynamic.array AT position.variable SETTING delimiter.variable This allows the explicit setting of the pointer, without resorting to reinitialization by reassigning the array variable. I've always just assigned Position.Variable prior to doing any REMOVE stuff.

According to the UniData Help for REMOVE, in the code sample above, DUM would be set to the first string delimited by a standard delimiter (e.g., @AM, @VM), and MORE would be set to index the level of the delimiter encountered: 0=End of array, 1=Record Mark (255), [EMAIL PROTECTED] (254), [EMAIL PROTECTED] (253), etc. A pointer is maintained so that the next REMOVE X FROM K would return the next string. The comment is stating that the K = K is used to reset the REMOVE pointer to the beginning of the string. Further info on using REMOVE: REMOVE is useful for sequentially processing all the elements of a dynamic array without having to recount for each subsequent item. However, you need to check your delimiters to find attributes/values/subvalues. A similar method to process each attribute is to SELECT K TO KLIST and then READNEXT DUM FROM KLIST within a loop. --Tom Pellitieri Century Equipment Toledo, Ohio --- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/ --- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/
RE: [U2] Where Will the .NET Apps Live ?
Tony: [stuff snipped] Brian's comment about intepreted code wasn't lost on me and I need to consider it - I confess I've never done that. Putting some logic at a middle tier, not necessarily at the DBMS server, also has advantages. At the risk of yet more bandwidth, but not consuming licenses, many basic validation rules can be exposed as client-independent web services. That approximates that interpreted layer, makes changes virtually instantaneous, and eliminates deployment issues. Goes to show you what we'll do for cost considerations. Introducing another tier seems like madness, unless it's cheaper. :-) That's why it sometimes looks like the main MV providers aren't really interested in exposing the dbms model to the mainstream. In IBM's case, they probably just want to kill the product, eventually, because growing the product competes with their other product(s). In RDUS's case, they probably just want to squeeze it for what they can because they believe it'll die by itself. Not sure about jBase though. Maybe if they can sell it to China they'll reach a critical mass that'll support a migration from D3 and U2.

RE: [U2] wIntegrate (on Universe) Question

So, before I actually run the wIntegrate call I automatically exit the menu to our TCL shell. Then the query is run.

RE: [U2] wIntegrate text box
Thanks for the help with the wIntegrate text box. It helps to use the WIN.DBEDGET and WIN.DBEDGET subroutines instead of the WIN.DBGET and WIN.DBSET (one can even choose between an VM'd or an AM'd return string). I've noticed one additional peculiarity. I wrote a wrapper subroutine to call the WIN text box routines and has an [OK] and a [Cancel] button on the form. I have a main program that asks for an newsletter item id then calls this wrapper program; which pops open the wIntegrate (or AccuTerm) text box. No other interaction with the WIN... routines occurs. I type in the information then click on the [OK] button (or can just click the [Cancel] button. The peculiarity is when, still staying inside the main program, entering another newsletter id, which pops open (and fills) the text box for a second newsletter item, I click anywhere in the text box and try to enter data. I cannot enter data. I can, however, press the [Backspace] key and erase data. I can select data, but any key I press acts like the [Del] key. If I exit the main BASIC program then reenter it, the text box functions normally. The AccuTerm textbox always operates normally. Does anyone know why the 1st call of a text box, from within a BASIC program, acts like a normal text box but subsequent calls restrict data input but not data removal? I was fiddling with the WIN.DBDEL and the WIN.SSTATE routines but the wrapper subroutine seems to be coded identical to the WIN.DBDEMO2 routine. As ususl, any observation would be appreciated. :-) Bill -Original Message- From: Bill H.

RE: [U2] Index problem
Phil: What I don't understand about this conversation is why would one expect any different functionality from the dbms? This has been, in my experience, the way indexes have always been on the mvDbms products; whether they be U2, D3, or whatever. When an index is created, it is updated if, and only if, the file it was created for changes. Your example indicates an index on DETAIL that translates HEADER information. Since DETAIL is written first, hence no HEADER information exists, the index on DETAIL is updated with NULL. When HEADER is written, it is completely irrelevant what indexes exist on DETAIL (as it is irrelevant what indexes exist on CUSTOMER, RECEIPTS, etc). The only index that will be updated when HEADER is written are indexes on HEADER. This is a common problem with an mvDbms index structure. Your solution is probably the only practical one available. I've been fiddling with the possibility of doing an after update trigger to update the related DETAIL but that significantly slows down batch processes and really messes up my COPYs and RESTOREs too. So I've found your solution to be the best, in the aggregate, where a file is kept of changes in the DETAIL file and a process then reindexes DETAIL on a periodic basis. You may want to test, however, keeping a file of changed items in DETAIL. Then periodically reading/writing the DETAIL record(s) and see if the index is then updated, even though there is no change to the DETAIL. This might work and be a more practical solution.

I wonder if this might be a similar 'anomaly' For example, In our case we have 2 order files, named HEADER and DETAIL. A virtual attribute exists in the DETAIL file which references the HEADER file. When the DETAIL record(s) are written out before the HEADER record, UniData does not update the DETAIL index when the HEADER file is written, causing a null value when the DETAIL index is used. As in your case, when another attribute is used, to select the DETAIL file, which does not use the index, the items are selected as expected. The only work around that we've used, is to rebuild the index file daily.

Your concept won't work if there are commons that need to be set in the

named commons remain in memory between programs and can be used again

FW: [U2] RE: U2 User's Group Charter
-Original Message- From: Bill H. [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, September 25, 2004 3:42 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [U2] RE: U2 User's Group Charter Will: I have just a few comments. Generally, my comments have to do with the Board. It has always been my view that the Board should be elected annually. Good Board members are almost always re-elected in non-profits. However, if one wants to get rid of a Board member it is much easier to simply vote them out rather than taking extreme and difficult measures. Secondly, the Board should always have the authority to constitute themselves by appointing officers. There is no need for the membership to be involved with such matters as this is every much a Board matter as say when and where to conduct their meetings. I probably missed a few things but I hope you find this useful. :-) Bill ARTICLE III - MEMBERS Section 2: Membership Term. Membership is granted for one year with sufficient grace period for renewal, unless terminated as described in Section 5 (Termination of Membership). Section 5: Termination of Membership. Membership may be terminated in the following manners: 1) A member may allow their membership to lapse by not renewing (paying dues), 2) A member may remove themselves from membership in the Group by following instructions provided in the policies and procedures document, 3) The Board of Directors may remove anyone from membership in the Group, without cause, by a two-thirds majority vote of all eligible Board members, The Board of Directors will then notify the member of their termination and the terms, if any, under which the individual may re-apply for membership. In no event will the member be entitled to any refund of previously paid dues or assessments upon termination, or thereafter. Section 6: Member Rights. Each member has the right to vote: 1) to annually elect members of the Board of Directors, 2) to remove any member of the Board of Directors. 3) in any membership polling efforts, 4) to approve the annual budget, 5) to approve non-budget expenditures, and 6) to amend the Charter. Members also have the right to comment on any issue presented by the Board of Directors. ARTICLE V - BOARD OF DIRECTORS Section 1: Composition. The Board of Directors (the Board) consists of 9 members elected annually by the majority of the membership voting. A Board member must also be a member of the organization. If a Board member resigns their membership in the organization then they also resign as a Board member. Section 2: Officers. The Board of Directors shall elect the following officers: 1) the President, 2) the Vice President, 3) the Treasurer, and 4) the Secretary A majority vote of the board is required to confirm the appointments, such vote to take place at the first meeting of the Board after the annual election of Board members by the membership. Section 4: Terms of Office. All members of the Board of Directors are elected for one-year terms. All Board Members will remain in office until their replacements are duly elected and able to assume their duties. Section 5: Eligibility. Candidates for the Board must be members, and must have an interest in the U2 product line. All Candidates must provide a brief Biography to be included on the ballot. The Biography must declare if the Candidate has a financial interest in or is an employee of either the Vendor or the Vendor competitors. Section 6: Nominations. All nominees must accept their nomination and meet eligibility requirements to be considered for placement on the ballot. Any member may nominate them self for board member. The Nominations and Elections Committee will conduct the election according to the procedures described here and in the policies and procedures document. A member of the Board will serve as the Nominations and Elections Committee Coordinator. The election cycle begins with a Nomination Period, 60 days prior to the annual membership meeting. During this period, members may submit to the Nominations and Elections Committee nominations for any vacant position. Nominations must be submitted according to the rules in the policies and procedures document. The Nominations and Elections Committee will receive nominations, verify the eligibility of each candidate and confirm that the candidate is willing to be considered for the nominated position and serve if elected. After nominations have closed, 30 days prior to the annual membership meeting, the Nominations and Elections Committee will gather brief biographies of each candidate. The candidate should provide information about his or her relationship to the U2 community, including any potential conflicts of interest. These biographies will be sent to the membership as part of the ballot for the ensuing election. The Nominations and Elections Committee
RE: [U2] mvBase spooler
Mark: I'm surprised you say this. The only issue I've found with the D3 spooler is it uses a hybrid D3 file to store the output instead of allowing spooler jobs to be configured to go to an O/S directory. MvBase it's an R83 extension from Mentor and probably only exists because D3NT couldn't get it right for 10 years. So, it is what you expect. In D3 one doesn't have to deal with multiple files or runoff or loosing control characters when using the simple sp-edit command options (b, c, k)...but of course mvBase does (I'm pretty sure).

Once upon a time, a nice man named Dick Pick, who created Pick basic, issued a challenge. He said that there was no way in native Pick to access the last value of a multivalued field and challenged anyone to find a way. Enter Me. 'A' correlatives were new at that time and I created a three step dict. Dict step1 converted value marks into 1 's. Dict step2 summed those 1's into a number, and Dict step3 used that sum as an index for the value and BINGO last value of a multivalued field in native Pick! I did the 'victory dance' big time while singing feeling stronger from the Rocky movies :-D !!! And then proceeded to pack up my solution and send the results to Dick. Dick replied to me that the challenge was only for F correlatives (ahh, shucks..) but that he would publish my solution since nobody else had ever done so yet. Publish as in paper before the internet became widely used.

RE: [U2] Wintegrate
Mark: I concur with Ross. AccuTerm offers _very_ reasonable site licensing; I think it's something like $995 unlimited users. In fact, so much so I'd wonder why anyone would use wIntegrate at a large site. However, wIntegrate has: 1) Query Builder 2) Cuts and pastes way faster and AccuTerm has: 1) Significantly better terminal emulation (width beyond 132) 2) Multiple open sessions within the same instance 3) Much nicer cut-n-paste capabilities (cut paste @15,10 - 72,20) 4) Friendlier interface with user (at least for me) 5) The best darned site license price available.

RE: [U2] [OT] Sarbanes-Oxley
Susan: See the thing is, we're letting the auditors drive this thing. Auditors don't drive this. Auditing is basic procedures plus statistical sampling of transactions to validate these basic procedures. Politics drive this. As Thomas Sowell often notes: politics does what feels good at the moment and mostly has _NO_ connection to results. Don't get me wrong, they have to, to a certain extent. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (available in its entirety at Sarbanes-oxley.com) isn't really very specific about HOW the numbers are verified. Only, in a nutshell, that the CFO and CEO sign off saying I KNOW that the numbers on our financial statement are correct. Now because they can go to jail if it turns out they aren't they are in a bit of a panic. And they haven't a clue what to do about it. It has always surprised me that corporate management could delegate their authority over corporate financial reporting to outside auditors. But then Congress does it every day. Heck, they don't even know how much they spend and what they spend it on. :-) But they want to make sure that its CLEAR AND OBVIOUS that they've 'done diligence'. In step the auditors. Now the auditors - for the most part, let's be fair - don't know all that much about the inner workings of a large company's IT department and the mechanics and shenanigans that put that final number on the 10K. So they come up with a lot of (sometimes unnecessary) hoops for us to jump through. I'd suggest there are other forces at work here. For instance, if IT knows so little about business reporting, just as Finance knows so little about IT, is it any wonder what gets reported can be suspect? My point is there are more powerful arguments for structural ineffectiveness rather than some surreptitious human behavior. Besides, one controls human behavior by instituting institutional structural controls. :-) What can we do about it? Well, first, we have to realize that we've got this powerful, flexible environment which has nurtured a seat-of-the pants attitude. Not a bad thing, I mean we can produce amazing results on the fly. We've learned to depend on ourselves that way. But it might look a little scary to an outsider contemplating jail time. So we might have to suck it up just a little and say okay, we're going to be slowed down a bit by this. Perhape a realization that strict financial controls shouldn't be ignored because: a) noone knows how, b) IT controls the systems and doesn't understand the problem, or c) Finance understands the problem and can't control the systems. And then the next thing we do is realize that the slow-down should truly be temporary. While we work out procedures that work and get used to them its going to slow us down. But believe it or not over time the fire-fighting will slow down and we'll get time back. I promise. I suspect this is good for those companies who don't do this now. For those that implement proper controls there shouldn't be much change, except when the lawyers get involved. Then - it would be a really powerful thing if we educated ourselves a bit (see this months article in Spectrum on CobIT) and took the reins. Make sure some if this gi-hyoogic investment is going to give Us something WE want. If we come to management with a clear picture of how we can comply we can set aside some of the hoops. Kind of like the blind leading the blind. :-) I have one colleague whose auditors are demanding a full table/chart of all access to all files by all programs. Hey that would be a cool thing to have. But trust me, its not required for SOX compliance. Its just the auditors trying to come up with ways that look nice and black-and-white and legitimate and compliant. If somebody over there had proposed the - realistic steps - that needed to be taken first, this would never have happened. If someone would do a little reading and then stand up and say here's a plan the requirement in question would be scrapped in a heartbeat. The management, who are putting their necks on the line, so to speak, should be able to do what they think is necessary. The real difficulty is management are being hired who don't know how to judge the quality their business operations and activities. This is a primary cause of what you are seeing. The consequences of this are far reaching, economincally speaking of course. [snipped] What SOX really is? A giant budget-boost for IT and a guaranteed tech-onomic recovery.

RE: [U2] UniVerse in VB .NET
Colin: Thanks for the info...sorry for providing the list with misinformation. :-( I noticed that UniObjects for .NET is under development and is due for release sometime in mid 2004. Also, the calls to U2 from .NET use SQL not the U2 query language or a READ-type extraction. There's been a lot of traffic here about the difficulties of setting up UniObjects and UniOleDB for use by .NET. I didn't really think it couldn't be done, just not by a challenged individual such as myself. :-) I've seen IBM presentations about their intent to link U2 to .NET and those products are expected to be available in mid to late 2004 (the current set of products were not sufficient). I don't believe that for an MV developer, building an SQL layer to access and update MV data is the optimal MV solution. The PDP.NET product seems to be in the right direction and I assume IBMs forthcoming .NET solution(s) for U2 will be similar.

RE: [U2] D3 Master Dictionary
Mark: Pardon being a D3 question but someone may have run into this before. My new client has D3 on W2K. I edited MD BOB and made 001=PQN, 002=HTIME and 003=P, saved it and then type BOB at TCL and get [3] VERB?. There are no PQN procs in D3 (I don't believe). Change field 001 to PQ. I type LIST CUSTOMER and get output but when I type LIST MD = CUSTOMER I get nothing. I'm not sure what's up since CUSTOMER is a file (or q pointer) and should reside in the MD. When you say you ...get nothing what do you mean (let's see the command and the result). I've found out that there's 2 MD's. One called MD which points to that accounts SYSTEM defined space and another called M/DICT which points to another account that contains the cataloged programs, filenames, verbs etc and lets BOB work. That's unusual. Usually the MD MD item is a q pointer to the current account and so is the MD M/DICT item. They're synonyms. There must be specific reasons to change that structure and I'm not going to guess. I'm not sure what you mean by the ...SYSTEM defined space but I'd guess you mean it points to the current account like: MD 'MD' size = 116 01 q 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 l 10 17 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 the item.id of a dictionary item is the name of the language element being defined. So my question is what would happen if I made MD point to that other account? Would I mess anything up. Their system runs 20/7 but I'm not there at 4am to try this. I'd suggest you NEVER mess with this as someone else has made the change for some reason. Normally the M/DICT item is a synonym to MD but is changed for some unknown reason. In D3, you can reference another accounts MD by simply referencing ACCOUNT,, or ACCOUNT,MD,. If the M/DICT item has changed I'd think there is a reference to M/DICT somewhere but won't guess where. I can't say for sure, but when you execute a verb the MD is searched first. I don't know if the M/DICT is searched next or at all. So, either the M/DICT MD item is inconsequential or it acts a little like a PATH. Maybe a posting to CDP would answer this. --- u2-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.u2ug.org/listinfo/u2-users
