[U2] UD Basic Heading
I found a "work-around" for this. It seems there is a UniData bug with the BASIC Heading not being properly cleared from a called subroutine. My "work around" was to "EXECUTE \LISTPTR\ CAPTURING OUTPUT" at the end of the scrolling subroutine. Now, when the report generator calls a BASIC report subroutine, which captures a report with a BASIC heading, then passes it to a scroll subroutine, this scroll subroutine will now execute the aforementioned statement before returning to the report generator program that started the process. For some reason, the HEADING area gets cleaned up properly, which exiting the entire call stack would do too. Doing a "EXECUTE \LIST VOC 'VOC'\ CAPTURING OUTPUT" doesn't work. Don't know what it is with LISTPTR but it works. Aren't work-arounds great?

Makes sense. The path in the (UD.ACCOUNT) file is "E:\IBM\ud71\Demo". So, if I want to log into both accounts and want @WHO to reflect "MyDemo" in "E:\MyDirectory\Demo" and "Demo" in the UniData demo account how do I do it? I can't create a "MyDemo" item in (UD.ACCOUNT) because I can't log into "MyDemo". Thanks.

As David says, this is NOT a democracy. That said, someone in the U2 group at IBM might have some latitude in this matter, so contact your IBM sales rep, your Support manager, or your U2 development contact and present your case or ask them who can help with making documentation available. (I don't know the corporate structure for U2 like I do other MV companies, sorry.) BH: That is what has precipitated this thread. Sales reps have been contacted. VARs have been contacted. Support is difficult to contact. Cases have been presented. Many have dealt with the corporate structure. Many are striving to improve the business arrangements. TG: Regarding paying to report bugs - c'mon, how long have you guys been in the IT world? I am all for open support whenever possible but there are business concerns where lines need to be drawn. Think about how expensive it is to have people answer the phone or email, and how many people abuse free services. Most of us in this industry include yearly maintenance fees as part of our normal business model. If you don't pay a vendor a support fee why do you think you are still entitled to the same support as those who do? Asking off-support customers to pay for services they use ensures that only those who are serious will get through. The offer to refund payment in the case of bugs might seem like an obvious thing to do, but in this world it's actually a generous practice that many companies do not employ. By a show of hands, how many people here pay their clients back if a bug is found in their software? I didn't think so... BH: Most, if not all, involved in this thread __are__ paying support fees. That's the irony of this all. As a side note, our company never charges for bug reports and go out of our way to track them down. TG: Regarding going through a VAR for support, I've been through this at RD. There are mixed blessings on the policy but in general it's a good policy. An informed VAR channel is a good VAR channel. BH: This may, or may not, be advantageous. The principal reason for business, which many in the IT industry are forgetful of, is there's a mutual benefit in engaging in a business relationship. The key concept here is "mutual". This thread exists because of, and the above comment illustrates, the one sided nature a business relationship can take, and the consequences such a turn can have. TG: I wish people would consider the larger business issues before complaining about policies.

An operator then puts a white tape on the bottom of the check and manually enters the information that the reader missed (check# and bank account#) then enters the clearing amount. If there's a large number of rejections we hear about it immediately. However, we've never heard about any rejections in excess of the normal amount.

I've "mapped" this shared folder to my local UV notebook computer using the "Z:" drive letter. I now have access to this "shared" directory through Windows but __NOT__ via UniVerse. There are several steps I need to take to gain access (note: this is not UV/NET access which is another story). These steps, in UniVerse, are: 1) In UniAdmin select "Configuration Editor" and change the "ALLOWNFS" parameter to "1". This is the "critical" piece and escaped me for days until someone suggested it. :-) 2) Get to TCL in UV and execute the following: DOS /C"net use Z: \\Server\Share Passwd /user:Server\U2Admin" "Server" is the name of the remote Windows server. "U2Admin" is the Windows user who's logged in. "Passwd" is the Windows password for the "U2Admin" Windows user. 3) Create an "F" item in the VOC that looks like: U2TEMP 0001 F 0002 Z:\Temp 0003 D_VOC This will allow UV to access shared network resources without UV/NET. In UniData, as I understand it, one only has to create (VOC) pointers such as: U2TEMP 001 DIR 002 \\Server\Share\Temp 003 D_VOC If this is not accurate (or the least number of steps to achieve this) I'd sure like to know.

It is a true enabler to allow you to use U2 with the web and do whatever you can do in your web technology of choice.

[U2] UD: HEADING page#
I have a question regarding UD v7.1 (Windows, Pick mode): 1) Is there a little trick to get the UniQuery page # left justified? "LIST VOC SAMPLE 5 HEADING "THIS IS PAGE: 'PL'" ...returns THIS IS PAGE: 1 VOC. WIN.PCRUN2 A9 WIN.SETPARAM LIST.LABEL IN 5 records listed I'm looking for the heading to look like: "THIS IS PAGE: 1". The page number is right-justified in a field of four blanks. In D3 I need to add the N option (e.g. "THIS IS PAGE: 'PNL'"). Thanks, Bill --- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/
[U2] UniDebugger
Two months ago I was trying to update a program, using UniDebugger, on a remote server using the "Disk" Read/Write method and couldn't because the Unidata server directory has a minimal amount of security. I was able, however, to update the program using the "UniObjects" Read/Write method by entering the server name and credentials. Today, this no longer works. When I try to edit a program on the remote UniData server, using UniObjects, I get an "Unable to connnect to the host (39207)" error. I know UniObjects is installed and set up properly because I have mv.NET installed and can connect to the remote UniData server via UniObjects using the exact same credentials (server name, username, and password) I'm attempting to use in UniDebugger. I've uninstalled and reinstalled UniDebugger. This didn't help. Does anyone know what could be causing this problem?

RE: [U2] Problem with Canon ImageRunner 5000 Printer
Kevin: It sounds like you've identified that the output from UD is exactly what it should be to print to the correct bin. You might take the spooled output and send it directly to the printer (with the binary option) to prove the UD output is correct. e.g. "copy /b SpoolFile \\PS123456\P2" (if you're using a hardware print server). If this prints correctly, I've found sometimes I have to adjust the printer settings themselves to work with U2 (and D3), because sometimes what works in Windows doesn't always work in MV.

RE: [U2] Accessing UV Data from Microsoft SSIS in SQL Server 2005
Bill:
VSG is the "Visual Schema Generator" available for UniData only. In order
for the U2, or any MV dbms for that matter, to be accessed via an SQL type
tool (via ODBC or OleDB) you need to "map" the MV data structures into a
flat SQL schema. VSG is what's used for UniData and it's pretty easy to
use. Setting up UniOleDB is a bit tricky though.
For UniVerse, I don't believe VSG will do you any good.
Hope this helps.

[U2] [UD] ON.ABORT
I'm running UD 7.1 on Windows 2003 and am trying to use the ON.ABORT command to prevent user access to ECL. According to the UD Commands Reference manual: The ECL ON.ABORT command identifies a command that UniData executes when a UniBasic program aborts. command may be an ECL command, a paragraph, or a directly or globally cataloged UniBasic program. This setting remains in effect until you clear it with the CLEAR.ONABORT command. Reading the UD Windows Admin manual, the following note is made: Note: You can also use the ECL ON.ABORT command to prevent users from accessing the ECL or MS-DOS prompt. ON.ABORT defines a paragraph that executes whenever a UniBasic program aborts. See the UniData Commands Reference for information about ON.ABORT. If I set ON.ABORT, in the login paragraph, to execute a BASIC main menu program, then press [Ctrl]+C to break out of the main menu, then enter "END" at the "!" debug prompt, I end up at the ECL prompt. I thought the command specified by the ON.ABORT command was supposed to execute (the main menu program). So, how does one keep anyone from getting to ECL by any means? As always, thanks.

RE: [U2] Multiple Data Files
Charles: Just a note about UniData... They do allow multi-level files. The data files are within the directory structure of the dictionary. It looks like the following on Windows: - Account - FileName FileName FileName_1 FileName_2 D_FileName The (VOC) entry for FileName is: FileName 001 LF 002 FileName 003 D_FileName In the dictionary of (FileName) there are three items that define the data files: @FileName @FileName_1 @FileName_2 ...each having "LF" in attribute 1. UniData recommends that this structure not be used but it is there for compatibility with Pick style accounts. In the Pick world one knows when the file is deleted all data portions of the file are deleted too; so there is a managed linkage between the data and dictionary portions of a file. This does not allow the "sharing" of dictionaries outside this structure, so when a query is run one has to use the "...USING DICT..." clause to use another dictionary.

RE: [U2] LIST DICT FILE Depth and Assoc
Dictionaries do not control the contents of data files, so there's no real way to to determine if an attribute contains multi-values or not. Generally, MV databases are multi-value self aware. This does not apply to UniData (except for conversion codes). By this I mean if you "LIST SOMEFILE SOMEFIELD" you will get output that will look like: SOMEFILE.. SOMEFIELD. 1 14016 14017 14018 2 14019 ...where records in the file have multi-values in the SOMEFIELD attribute. If you place a conversion code, like "D2/", in attribute 7 or 8 of an "A" or "S" type dictionary, the conversion will execute on each value: SOMEFILE.. SOMEFIELD. 1 05/16/2006 05/17/2006 05/18/2006 2 05/19/2006 For reasons I won't get into here, conversion codes are normally placed into attribute 7 of an "A" or "S" type dictionary (attribute 3 of "D" or "I"/"V" type dictionaries). "D" or "I"/"V" type dictionaries do contain a loose definition of whether an attribute is multi-value or not. Attribute 6 of this type of dictionary contains that information. In UniData, in order for multi-value processing to occur in UniQuery, this attribute __MUST__ be defined as multi-valued. Still, however, the database does not require it. The use of attribute 4 and 5 of an "A" or "S" type dictionary defines a multi-value association. For instance, if an A/P invoice record exists it usually has two attributes defined as G/L account#s and associated amounts. In this case you could define an association in these types of dictionaries as "D;.." and "C;..", where ".." is the appropriate associated attribute number. One of these is controlling and one is dependent. This concept doesn't really exist in UV and UD, except in these types of attributes (UV only). So, if you're using a front-end tool you can define an "A" or "S" type dictionary as multi-value by putting an "M" or "S" in attribute 11 of the dictionary then tell your tool to look there. Hope this helps.

RE: [U2] D3 to U2 - how to import a FileSave tape
David:
IBM advises that those migrating an MV system to U2 select UniVerse not
UniData. UniData is not inherently multi-value aware and there are a number
of other issues that IBM suggests will be avoided by migrating to UniVerse.
So, take IBM's advice and move D3 to UniVerse not UniData.
When saving D3 data try the following:
1) prepare the D3 system for conversion,
+ this is your choice of what you want. The U2 products
are case sensitive. However, there are utilities in UV
to help with the conversion and they will upper-case
everything for you.
+ make sure you don't use the PE version of UV unless no
file in D3 exceeds something like 60MB (I'm not sure
and would have to look this up to be sure).
2) do an account-save of the selected accounts to a "pseudo"
+ account-saves are the only supported method for transfer
+ do the following:
:set-device {n} (where {n} is a "pseudo" device)
:t-rew
: select mds,, 'acct1''acct2''acct3'...
{n} items selected.
:account-save (a
.
.
:t-rew
:t-det
Note: the "pseudo" device you select may or may not be a
compressed device. I always recommend you save to a non-
compressed device. Don't mess with compression unless
you're ftp'ing the file over the internet. If so, use
whatever Linux tool exists to compress the file before
using ftp but after the D3 backup.
3) use the "D3RESTORE" program to restore onto UniVerse
+ place the "pseudo" file onto the UV system
+ create a new UV account from which to run D3RESTORE
+ start a UV session and log to the "UV" account
+ copy the new versions of CONVERT.VOC and D3RESTORE
to the APP.PROGS file
+ run BASIC APP.PROGS D3RESTORE CONVERT.VOC
+ run CATALOG APP.PROGS *D3RESTORE D3RESTORE FORCE
+ run CATALOG APP.PROGS *CONVERT.VOC CONVERT.VOC FORCE
(note: overwrite existing if asked)
+ LOGTO the account from which to run D3RESTORE
+ run the D3RESTORE program from TCL
General info from the account to run D3RESTORE from:
:CT VOC D3RESTORE (this item must exist locally)
D3RESTORE
0001 V
0002 *D3RESTORE
0003 B
0004 BN
:LOGTO UV
:LONGNAMES ON NEWAC
All NEWACCs have been modified to use long file names.
:LOGTO {AccountToLaunchFrom}
:D3RESTORE INFILE {PathOfPseudo} - e.g. C:\IBM\d3save
Next run the CONVERT.VOC program, which should convert the VOC. I had
to recatalog the programs DC, DC.ITEM, and DC.CORR.CONV after
recompiling them. Recompile in local account then recatalog in "UV"
account.
I had some real difficulties with the "DC..." programs in UniVerse.
They didn't seem to work properly and I had to review them and
activate a bunch of lines of code to make it work properly. This
may be because I had the UV PE version. I still have these programs
and here's a list of the ones I changed:
CONVERT.VOC
DC
DC.A
DC.CORR.CONV
DC.F
DC.ITEM
DC.OPENS
D3RESTORE
Hope this helps a little. If you get this far ask and I'll offer whatever
help I can.

RE: [U2] call sunroutine in command line

You might try: http://www.pickwiki.com/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?BPTest
This is a program that runs at the command line like:
:BPTEST A = "HELLO" ; B = "WORLD" ; CALL TEST.SUB ( A , B ) ; END
Where TEST.SUB looks like:
001 SUBROUTINE TEST.SUB ( A , B )
002 CRT A
003 CRT B
004 RETURN
...so it can easily test a subroutine from TCL. :-)

[U2] AccuTerm 2K2 keepalives in UniData
I use AccuTerm mostly and it has a "keepalive" function that sends a signal to the server every two minutes. I'm seeing these CHAR(255):CHAR(252) (IAC and WON'T) characters display at TCL (or in a menu) every two minutes on UniData. These characters interfere with data input. This does not seem to occur in UniVerse (or D3). According to Asent, "There is no specification for telnet keepalives, so we improvised them in AccuTerm. AccuTerm sends a telnet DM command every two minutes. The telnet spec says that unless a connection is in "urgent mode", DM commands are ignored. It looks like IBM did not interpret the spec the same way we did, and treats the DM command as data. Here's a quote from RFC854: 'When in normal mode, a DM is a no operation; when in urgent mode, it signals the end of the urgent processing.'". Does anyone else have this problem with AccuTerm "keepalives" and UniData? If so, have you found a "work-around" for this? As always, any assistance will be appreciated.

I'm having some difficulty posting to the list. Occasional I get an email from the "community". When I try to respond by clicking on the appropriate reply-link I get a "You have no permission to write into this category or forun" error. When I try to login using my username and password, and clicked "Remember me" I was directed to www.microsoft.com. It works fine if I uncheck the "Remember me" box. Anyway, when I went to the web site and try to respond from the site I'm also told I don't have permissions (even though I'm a registered user).

[U2] [UD] Enter to continue...
Just out of curiosity, does anyone know why UniData (in Pick mode) displays the message "Enter to continue..." on the next line after the terminal term depth? For instance, if I set the term to 79,25 I expect 25 lines of data to be displayed on the terminal. If I execute "LIST VOC HEADING "This is a test..." the aforementioned message displays on the 26th line; thus pushing the heading one line above the screen display. Thanks.

ADV PREPAID ON ACCOUNT-1300 CAF COLLECTION AGENT FEE-5340 CLA CLEAR ACCOUNT-1300 EVI EVICTION NOTICE-2100 . . Am I correct in assuming that UniData won't accept a "-" in the indexed field? What's up with this? Is this another character I need to programatically manage? Are there others? As always, thanks.

[U2] [UD] phantom processing
I'm trying to start up an application service as a phantom. In D3 I was able to put the phantom startup in the "system-coldstart" process that guaranteed it started when D3 was started. I also created a menu item so clients could start and stop the service on their own if they so desired. I've been testing this in UniData and have set the LOGIN paragraph like: ** Test for phantom processing IF @TTY = 'PHANTOM' THEN GO LOGIN.END: IF @TTY = 'phantom' THEN GO LOGIN.END: * ** Test for UniObjects processing IF @TTY = 'udcs' THEN GO LOGIN.END: . . ** Now bring up the application main menu APP.START * *** LOGIN.END: *** When I connect, and login, via UniAdmin (udcs) the application start process is skipped (I believe). But when I try to start a phantom the application start process is run. Does someone know why? Secondly, how can I start the phantom when UniData is started? My last question is where can I start runtime-error logs? The event logging in UniAdmin seems to refer me to the RFS logging and I haven't found out where logging is set up in the Documentation. Any help would be greatly appreciated. :-) Bill Haskett Advantos Systems, Inc. www.advantos.net (760)944-5570 (CA) (360)923-4838 (WA) --- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/
RE: [U2] UD UniDebugger
Bob & Colin: I checked the permissions and they are all propagated down through the subdirectories and files. Only server Administrators and the UniData group have control over everything under the "MyApp" shared directory, nothing else. When I open a file I'm given a choice of how the file is opened: 1) Disk, 2) Ftp, and 3) UniObjects. I've been trying "Disk" but it appears I can't update these files because I've set them up so only server "administrators" and "UniData group" users can modify the files. From my workstation, I can view the files, just not change them. When I try access via UniObjects, I'm asked to provide my "server" user name and password (credentials). Upon entering these server credentials I can update the files. So, it appears when I connect to the "shared" directory on the server, using my workstation's Windows Explorer (or anywhere else for that matter), I'm using the "SYSTEM" windows user that I've explicitly removed from access to these directories. Therefore, when securing the directories, UniDebugger should only be used with UniObjects where the server's credentials can be entered and used...unless, of course, anyone else knows of a valid, secure, user/group that I can add to the list of authorized users of the "MyApp" directory to make the "Disk" option work. :-) Thanks.

[U2] UD UniDebugger
Speaking of UniDebugger, how does one go about updating a UniData file on another server? I have UD 7.1 running on a Win 2K3 server. The permissions on this server allow Administrators complete control and the "UniData" group complete control. The group of accounts I want access to is located in "E:\MyApp\". I've "shared" this directory as "MyApp" then in UniDebugger I open the "BP" file in "\\AsiDev\MyApp\Dta\BP" then select a program. When I try to update the program I get a message that I don't have permissions. What permissions should I give to "E:\MyApp" so that UniDebugger can update these programs? Any help would be appreciated. :-) Bill Haskett Advantos Systems, Inc. www.advantos.net (760)944-5570 (CA) (360)923-4838 (WA) --- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/

RE: [U2] [UD] Executing save-list
Dave: I have no clue why this doesn't compile. I have a number of programs I wrote for UniData years ago that use this syntax frequently, so I know it's supposed to work. Here's some code that I used all the time: ECMD = \SSELECT BUSINESS.LINE BY BUS.CD\ EXECUTE ECMD RTNLIST COMP.LIST CAPTURING OUTPUT READSELECT ALL.COMPS FROM COMP.LIST ELSE COMP.LIST = '' SWAP @AM WITH '""' IN ALL.COMPS ALL.COMPS = DQUOTE(ALL.COMPS) This even indicates you don't need to ...RTNLIST... to a list number but can return to a list variable name. I created the same program as you did and got the same error. I then went to tcl then executed the following: :ECLTYPE U :BASICTYPE "U" ...then tried it again; I got the same error. However, when I replaced 'EXECUTE' with 'MDPERFORM' (not 'PERFORM') it compiled fine. I normally set PICK compatibility mode by executing "ECLTYPE P" and "BASICTYPE "P"" when the user logs on. Reviewing the UDT.OPTIONS documentation, and reading some other documents, I set the following UDT.OPTIONS to get additional Pick compatibility: UDT.OPTIONS 3 ON UDT.OPTIONS 7 ON UDT.OPTIONS 15 ON UDT.OPTIONS 23 ON UDT.OPTIONS 32 ON UDT.OPTIONS 34 ON UDT.OPTIONS 43 ON UDT.OPTIONS 48 ON UDT.OPTIONS 54 ON UDT.OPTIONS 56 ON UDT.OPTIONS 64 ON UDT.OPTIONS 66 ON UDT.OPTIONS 75 ON UDT.OPTIONS 78 ON UDT.OPTIONS 83 ON UDT.OPTIONS 89 ON UDT.OPTIONS 92 ON UDT.OPTIONS 104 ON UDT.OPTIONS 114 ON I guess I'll add this issue to the list of issues I've run into and submit then to IBM for possible help, now that I'm licensed and have support instead of PE. :-) Bill Haskett Advantos Systems, Inc. www.advantos.net (760)944-5570 (CA) (360)923-4838 (WA) > -Original Message- > From: Dave Taylor [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Wednesday, March 29, 2006 10:13 PM > To: Bill Haskett > Subject: Re: [U2] [UD] Executing save-list > > Bill, > > Thanks for pointing me to the documentation on the EXECUTE > statement on UD > PE 7.x on Windows 2000 Server. > > I think that I'm compliant. > > I can't even get the following 2-line program to compile > without an error: > > ED BP EX > 0001EXECUTE "SELECT CLIENTS" RTNLIST 1 > 0002END > > When I compile it I get the message: > > "Misuse of reserved word 'RTNLIST' > Expecting: end-of-file,END > > I must be missing something! > > BTW, you mentioned a PICK mode.

RE: [U2] [UD] Executing save-list
Bruce: So, I'm guessing you're validating that the SAVE-LIST and SAVE.LIST (and probably SAVELIST) are all ignoring the local (VOC) file. I misstated, in my original mail, when I said the modified "SAVE-LIST" works from TCL because it doesn't; only the "SL" synonym works properly. Do you have any idea how to override this restrictive handling of verbs, and make the VOC the primary source for the verbs I identify? As always, thanks.

[U2] [UD] Executing save-list
I was following some suggestions to track saved lists and did the following: 1) Created a "SAVE-LIST" and "DELETE-LIST" (VOC) entry that look like: SAVE-LIST 001 V 002 U2.LISTINFO 2) Wrote a program "U2.LISTINFO" that updates a (LISTINFO) file with information then does an "EXECUTE \SAVE.LIST \ : LISTNAME". >From TCL the "SAVE-LIST ..." seems to work fine. However, when I "EXECUTE \SAVE-LIST \ : LISTNAME" from a BASIC program the program "U2.LISTINFO" isn't called. It's as though there's a global "SAVE-LIST" command that is used instead of the local one. Is this true? Any ideas how I can overcome this? (ECLTYPE P) As always, thanks.

[U2] [UD] Setptr
If I generate a report to _HOLD_ by using "SETPTR 0,3" can I then send the report to another printer, say unit 2, by using "SETPTR 2" just before I "SPOOL _HOLD_ P_."? According to the documentation each report generated to _HOLD_ is accompanied by another entry with the SETPTR commands; it even shows two separate hold entries. I only get one entry when I do this. Is this because I only have one printer on the Windows 2003 system? As always, thanks.

RE: [U2] D3 to UD conversion

I'm going to purchase a 10 seat copy of UD for development and support this week. :-) With the appropriate D3 backup (the correct block size) data movement should be pretty straightforward.

I would like to think our "perspective" differences is a basis for product improvement. :-) You should see what Microsoft has done with SQL Server 2005 and their admin tools; an impressive improvement from SQL Server 2000. Raining Data doesn't have the resources to achieve anywhere near this kind of improvement to D3. With IBM, however, one would think they would understand U2 can be improved (mostly to assist conversions and new users). I can only hope IBM will take the attitude that U2 can, and should, be improved to bring in other MV applications and encourage new application development.

It wasn't that difficult. The biggest problems were UniData is like interfacing with Microdata in 1982...it's a time warp! The UniData environment is excruciatingly tedious and the lack of MV enhancements is what I'd expect from mvBASE (an end-of-line product). These issues cause our conversion to extend from about 30 man-days to close to 150 man-days. Those who use UniData have no clue about the issues with conversion. Why anyone involved with UniData wouldn't want it to be used by others is beyond my comprehension. > How did you actually DO the move - it's not like D3 files > will copy at any high level to UniData! They actually do. Colin has had success with "ACCOUNT.RESTORE" while I copied to UniVerse then to UniData (of course this digression did take about 10 man-days). > How long did it take to make the move (physically, once you > worked out the kinks)? We have about 4 man-months into this.

[U2] [UD] Triggers
I've converted a client's system from D3 to UniData and everything mostly works fine. One of the last items I have to deal with are triggers. I've read the UniData documentation on triggers and am intimately familiar with D3 triggers, so it's no wonder I'm confused about UniData triggers. Questions: 1) Can I create both an update and delete trigger on a file using the same BASIC program or do I need to create two separate programs? In D3 there's an internal function that indicates if the action is an add or delete. This allows a single program to be used for both an update and a delete. 2) How can I tell if a record is being added or changed? 3) Where do the passed variables come from? SUBROUTINE U2.NAMES.BRIDGE.U (ExecStat, DictFlag, FileName, RecIdExpr, RecValue) What specifically is "RecIdExpr"? The record key being updated (documentation says it's the record to be updated)? Is FileName the file name or the "opened" file (file variable)? Do I have to set "DictFlag"? It seems UniData requires a trigger to be defined as either UPDATE or DELETE. Does this mean I have to create two BASIC programs; one for updating and one for deleting? Any assistance would be appreciated. :-) Bill Haskett Advantos Systems, Inc. www.advantos.net (760)944-5570 (CA) (360)923-4838 (WA) --- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/

You can also have soft fonts that can be downloaded to a printer for a particular purpose, like a signature font. When the check run is complete the signature font can be deleted from the printer. If you have more specific questions, ask. Hope this helps.

RE: [U2] PCL extra page
Dave: Now I may be reading too much between the lines. :-) Our clients use printers from multiple applications; there are no MV only printers. So all printers have the appropriate Windows drivers installed. I've not seen where a print stream sent from an MV application gets altered by these Windows print drivers. What I was talking about was the reaction of the printer to this MV generated print stream. I've sent the same stream of text (a simple A/R customer report wrapped in PCL) to both HP, Canon, and Kyocera printers (all printers were PCL5 compatible). The string looked like: peqs '1' size = 7372 01 [EMAIL PROTECTED] ENTER LANGUAGE = PCL..[E[&l1o&l1e41F[&a3l105M[(s0p13h0s3b4099T...T/R 4.2.1 CUSTOMER NAME & INFORMATION FOR LAKEWOOD VIEW TWNHOME ASSN (450) THRU 30 Jan 05 PAGE1 02 . . 44 45 (C) Copyright 09:59:59 07 Mar 2006, Advantos Systems, Inc.

In order for us to solve this problem, we had to move the form feed from the 1st character of each mvDbms created heading to the end of each "...All Rights Reserved." part of the string. To do this, we were able to turn off the D3 created form feed completely (via TERM setting of formfeed delays to 0) and add a form feed to the end of the copyright text. Hopefully, I haven't missed the point completely. :-) Bill Haskett Advantos Systems, Inc. www.advantos.net (760)944-5570 (CA) (360)923-4838 (WA) > -Original Message- > From: Dave Taylor [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Tuesday, March 07, 2006 9:21 AM > To: Bill Haskett; u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org > Subject: Re: [U2] PCL extra page > > Bill, > > I may be reading too much between the lines here, but the following > statement: > > --- > Then, when this string is sent to the printer, HP interprets > "Pcl commands" > as text, so doesn't suppress the leading form feed...other > printers often > do. > -- > > suggests to me that the printer was installed using the manufacturer's > printer driver for that printer and that the printer driver > is performing > its usual tasks and, in addition, is not passing the ESC > sequences thru to > the printer: > > I didn't notice what platform you're running on, but on a > Windows platform, > we always install all Windows printers to be used by Universe > using the > Generic/Text driver found in the Generic Manufacturer's list > of printer > drivers. > > The Generic/Text driver performs no functions whatsoever, but > passes thru to > the printer all characters received by it, including ESC > sequences which the > printer interprets and reacts to correctly. > > I may be able to find a generic/text printer driver for > Windows to send you > if you don't have one. > > hth, > > Dave [snipped] > > - Original Message - > From: "Bill Haskett" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: > Sent: Tuesday, March 07, 2006 7:00 AM > Subject: RE: [U2] PCL extra page > > > > Steve: > > > > This is almost always limited to HP printers. > > > > What normally happens is that a print job always begins > with a form feed. > > When PCL preceeds this print job you get a string that looks like: > > > > Pcl commands : FF : Print job > > > > Then, when this string is sent to the printer, HP interprets "Pcl > commands" > > as text, so doesn't suppress the leading form feed...other > printers often > > do. > --- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/
RE: [U2] PCL extra page
Steve: This is almost always limited to HP printers. What normally happens is that a print job always begins with a form feed. When PCL preceeds this print job you get a string that looks like: Pcl commands : FF : Print job Then, when this string is sent to the printer, HP interprets "Pcl commands" as text, so doesn't suppress the leading form feed...other printers often do. In D3, I was able to start a printer and suppress the leading form feed. However, D3 interpreted "Pcl commands" as text so when the "Print job" was sent it got preceeded by a "FF" anyway. The only way I was able to resolve this was to remove all form feeds from the print job (you can turn this off in D3), use footings in all reports (we already did anyway), and append a "FF" to the end of the footing (our footing text resides in a file). I don't yet know what solution exists for U2 but I'll soon find out. :-( Bill > -Original Message- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of > Sirulnick, Steve > Sent: Tuesday, March 07, 2006 4:47 AM > To: 'u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org' > Subject: [U2] PCL extra page > > Does anyone know why I could be getting an extra page that > spits out at the > beginning of a print job?

[U2] UD dictionary order and deleting from a select
I have a couple of questions. My first one is how to get rid of the "Do you want to ... (Y/N)" question when using select lists. For example: 2 Dtademo (0)-> SELECT DICT DTASCREENS = "2.1.2*]" 1 records selected to list 0. 2 Dtademo (0)>> DELETE (or delete) DICT DTASCREENS Do you want to delete records in select list?(Y/N)Y '2.1.2*ACTWY60' deleted. As a default, the presumption that I don't know I'm using a list is not accurate. Secondly, this causes problems in every script that uses a select list to delete, copy, etc. UDT.OPTIONS 16 only seems to address whether the items deleted are listed or just the delete count. The second question is what order are dictionaries used when including a definition in a listing? I read where the order of processing a dictionary is: 1) the dictionary of the file 2) the VOC 3) the DICT.DICT This does not seem to be true when listing a dictionary. For instance, a dictionary item (I-Descriptor) named "KEY1" only exists in VOC and I get the following: 1 Dtademo (0)-> LIST SCREENS SAMPLING 5 KEY1 LIST SCREENS SAMPLING 5 KEY1 13:11:12 Feb 28 2006 1 SCREENS . 0 0 LOGON LOGON 1 1 2 2 6.1 6.1 5 records listed 1 Dtademo (0)-> LIST VOC SAMPLING 5 KEY1 LIST VOC SAMPLING 5 KEY1 13:11:24 Feb 28 2006 1 @ID .

[U2] UD OCONV from dictionaries
I'm trying to figure out why UD BASIC converts an empty string to five zeros on an OCONV "MR.." mask. USING the FMT function (FMT( , '5/0R')) works fine. AE DICT APOPEN CKDATE Top of "CKDATE" in "DICT APOPEN", 7 lines, 119 characters. *--: p 001: I The date of the check that paid this invoice. 002: OCONV( TRANS( "APCHECKS", CHECK_ID, 4, "X"), 'MR%5' ) 003: D2- 004: DATE PD 005: 8R 006: S 007: ...and UDT.OPTIONS 56 ON and UDT.OPTIONS 110 OFF. When I output the file using CKDATE, which is an empty string, I get: DATE PD. 12-31-67 ...and raw output (not converted for date) looks like: DATE PD. 0 The following adjustment to the dictionary: AE DICT APOPEN CKDATE Top of "CKDATE" in "DICT APOPEN", 7 lines, 119 characters. *--: p 001: I The date of the check that paid this invoice. 002: FMT( TRANS( "APCHECKS", CHECK_ID, 4, "X" ), '7/0R' ) 003: D2- 004: DATE PD 005: 8R 006: S 007: ...returns, correctly, the following: DATE PD. The OCONV function converts an empty string to a field of five zeros (0). Is there a fix for this, or is 'MR%5' an invalid mask? As always, thanks.

RE: [U2] Changes to mail list configurations
David: I'm reminded of the building contractor who, when asked why there's no lock on the front and back doors, replies that none of the other doors in the house have locks on them...besides, you'll get used to it. It is a constant in the IT industry that we are all forced to overcome the lack of rationality and simplicity. (I see where I need to change the "TO" address when I click reply otherwise the reply goes to you, unless I remember to click the "Reply to All" button and remove you so as to not remind you of the consequences of responding to the list). :-) This could be worse, but aren't we all tired of dealing with this constant bull$%!t of taking different paths to process similar events (email receipt). I couldn't care less what Sun or MySql does; the MV market was built on rationality not inconvenient standards de'jour, so why should we have to "twiddle" with a simple reply due to some "technical" reason? Argh. Please forgive my attitude; I've almost completed a D3 to UniData conversion project and have been wondering why any non-MV developer would ever use U2 and any MV developer would use UniData.

Pankaj: According to the UniData manuals this is how accounts are created on Windows: - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - There are three steps required to create a UniData account: 1.Use the MS-DOS mkdir command to create the directory that will house the account. The name of the UniData account directory can be in uppercase, lowercase, or mixed uppercase and lowercase. 2.Make the new directory your working directory. You can change to the directory with the MS-DOS cd command. 3.Use the UniData "newacct" command to create the VOC and other UniData-specific files in the directory. Note: You do not need to log in as Administrator to create a UniData account. However, you must have Change access in the account directory. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - It is true there is a UD.ACCOUNT file, but its contents seem to be dependent on what I enter as a new account in UniAdmin. You should get used to the idea of managing a number of UniData activities outside of UniData (security, backups, account creation, etc) and a lot of typical mvDbms activities just differently.

[U2] [UD] Break-on
I have a report I've been running in a Pick environment for years without problems. The data, using ECLTYPE P on UniData, looks like: [UNIDATA] SORT BANKBOOK WITH PLANTNOS = "9800""9900" AND WITH YRMO = "200411" BY PLANTNOS PLANTNOS TOTAL CURRBAL 22:45:48 Feb 07 2006 1 BANKBOOK...

On a Pick machine I do the following: [D3] :SSCROLL BANKBOOK WITH PLANTNOS = "9800""9900" AND WITH YRMO = "200411" BY-EXP PLANTNOS BY ATYPE_ACCTNO BY ATYPE_DESC ID-SUPP PLANTNOS BREAK-ON PNAME0 "Totals: 'UV'" BNAMES ATYPE_DESCS ATYPE_ACCTNOS TOTAL CURRBAL Command => SORT BANKBOOK 22:52:24 07 Feb 2006 PLNT# Name..

This doesn't even come close to working in UniData; although it works fine in UniVerse. I'm running in ECLTYPE P.

I've been fiddling with this for quite a while and am obviously missing something. Can anyone help. Thanks.
