For instance, the Prime style COPY command has a different syntax than most other commands (apparently the idea was to confuse anyone working in other Pick environments - much like casing is a constant blight for those who work on other environments at the same time they work on Unidata). Actually, with time in both vanilla Pick (up to AP) and then UV camps, I have to admit to preferring the COPY FROM x TO y A,a B,b syntax. There's no ( to worry about... Although, I do wish somebody'd tell me about the abbreviations to OVERWRITING and DELETING.. grin Using the LIKE keyword is a never ending frustration level. The ECL DELETE command had to be rewritten to remove the questions asked upon every delete. Don't get me on the AE ^ command that tells me Unprintable characters not shown when, in fact, they are. I'm guessing there is a reason I can't change the name of multiple items by using the COPY command, but I can't quite figure it out. It's a real bear to move between simple Pick syntax, that is the same for all verbs, and Prime syntax that depends on the verb being used. As the previous respondent pointed out, UD, in at least one flavour, wants to barf over an * in the item-ids, unless the item-ids are quoted I was never aware of that, but with the apparent thousand or so options, I thought there'd have to be one that.

In running some processes on each system, we are seeing some performance differences; in particular, running programs which make liberal - though not particularly efficient - use of dynamic arrays on our legacy (Universe on Linux) system run orders of magnitude faster than the same programs on a much larger system (Unidata on AIX). In the process of determining the origins of these problems, I want to rule out any Universe vs. Unidata issues. My question is this: does Universe handle the random searching of dynamic arrays (such as VAR1 = VAR2x) better than Unidata? Based on the assumption that you copied/restored/whatever direct from UV to UD, is this a file-size problem? In other words, did UD create the same size files or UD's equivalent, or just minimum sized ones?

Would you achieve anything by setting a base at, say, 1st October, 2006 and simply using your 10 years of seconds (about 316,000,000) or even more, as an add-on to that?That gives about 30 years. That way you've got 9 digits or less, and no packing/unpacking, etc...

It doesn't seem to support even PCL3 as a simple orientation string (to select landscape printing) is ignored. Also the graphic set, like light down and left/light down and right/light horizontal etc are completely screwed. As I said... A sub-set of PCL 3, but I'm surprised it doesn't support ESC:'l0O' for landscape. Perhaps as time passes, these sorts of printers are further removed from the ability to programatically control them. But you should consider sending the PCL landscape, A4 (??), etc to the printer as a page separator (.sep file).

Goo'day, And all of this blithering and dithering leaves the poor bloody PE user just where, exactly?

Isn't that a marvellous way to spread the word...? BBB (Big Blue's Best) Marketing again. And hasn't there been a lot of that over the years? And I'll bet the PE comes with documentation and install instructions, FAQs, conversion advice and a directory of where to go and what to do ifWell, does it? Asking questions of the U2UG is not totally satisfactory, either. There is a time lag waiting for responses, time which most PE users would rather spend on their own investigations of. of. something, somewhere And, at the moment, indexinfocus, even if they know about it, just isn't the place to go and play If IBM VARs have the opportunity of restricting end-users from the knowledge base, which, by extension, means that PE users' access is also verboten, wouldn't IBM be better off bowing totally to their VARs and withdrawing from the PE industry completely letting the PE end of the market go to where they're appreciated? Who asked the VARs for their opinion in the first place? Of course they'd want to maximise their revenue stream, and not have end-users asking possibly embarrassing questions.. Being VAR driven and wanting to have a PE in the market place are two ideas that are a total antithesis to each other. As a consequence of this, do IBM really see the PE as ONLY for existing U2 users to have something to play around with at home?And ask their questions from work? You'd think that somebody, somewhere within the IBM labyrinth'd be charged with just a touch of nous, wouldn't you?But, that'd be only if, corporately, they gave a damn.

I'd hate to have to contact IBM with some of the problems I throw er. threw back up the chain If IBM are not going to provide free access to the U2 knowledge base (at their VARs request), then they've got to get out of the PE business, for their own sake, as well as that of their products... They can't have it both ways. unless they can define their PE as something that will get around the VARs reluctance to get out of the way At 14:19 29/01/06 +1100, you wrote: Hi Bruce, Perhaps IBM (and the other majors as they are not the only ones that are guilty of this) could take a leaf out of the opensource handbook.

Who asked the VARs for their opinion in the first place? Of course they'd want to maximise their revenue stream, and not have end-users asking possibly embarrassing questions.. Being VAR driven and wanting to have a PE in the market place are two ideas that are a total antithesis to each other. As a consequence of this, do IBM really see the PE as ONLY for existing U2 users to have something to play around with at home?And ask their questions from work? You'd think that somebody, somewhere within the IBM labyrinth'd be charged with just a touch of nous, wouldn't you?But, that'd be only if, corporately, they gave a damn.

That said, UD only has a modest 15MB RAM footprint and zero CPU usage when inactive, so it doesn't interrupt other processes anyway - this is probably what you're interested in. The only other comment I would make is that it might be appropriate to get licenses for production systems, rather than running on personal/development licenses. I don't recall what the actual license text has to say about this. Side comment: One of these days I wish the MV DBMS Vendors would pay attention to requests like this and create Lite versions of these environments with no BASIC compiler, no spooler, no editors, no telnet or serial services, etc. - just a low-profile runtime-only that's easy to install and use with a GUI client, and for a similar cost.

RE: [U2] wIntegrate 3.x support for Unidata 7
At 11:45 15/12/05 +, you wrote: I understand the if it ain't broke comments. But surely if you have maintenance in place to get the new versions for free and by doing so you ensure you have a long term support option in place, just in case UniData 7 breaks the wIntegrate 3 environment, it makes sense to get the new version in place? E I don't think the path from wIntegrate 4 to wIntegrate 5 was free, maintenance or no IIRC, there was a cost involved, ie, a new per-user licencing fee Otherwise, if you do find something, and it is past the support dates, you stand a big risk of costly fixes - whether paying for changes or purchasing the upgrades.

I don't want to spend a lot of my client's money on packages. Have you considered (a) the terminal emulator path or (b) DOWNLOAD? I appreciate that there are sites out there infinitly larger than the environments we get involvred in, and that there are managers out there who will spend a dollar or two in getting a better solution, but way down here at the market we're in, CSV or some such seems to be solution of choice to most of our sites. Sure, we've had people look at expanding their bailiwick to include data communications twixt UV and desktop products, but in most situations, the available paths have been discounted - too much money or too complicated with the introduction of middle-ware - We're not computer geniuses. We want something simple. They forgot and as cheap as possible We've had some success with MV-aware terminal emulators with import and export functions, with UV and wIntegrate, but the per-user cost of wIntegrate vs Dynamic Connect (no import or export) normally limits the implementation of wIntegrate to one or two desktops per site (Errr Should I mention what is now called commercial OpenQM with its bundled AccuTerm 2k2? With all its private functions) With UV we also had lots of success, where implemented, with Cedarville Uni's DOWNLOAD - now, that's at the *right* price - but it needs a complete in-house person to keep the outlay *really* low... Users tend to spend a deal of money over time automating their requirements. to the extent, we found, where it falls into disfavour 'cos of the outside (me) cost to produce what we want.. Not prepared to invest in training for staff, not prepared to invest in outside assistance... The assumption is that the users are using Excel. I've taken some other advice on this forum to generate HTML which has had some success but is limited in ease of adding fields or making changes. Perhaps this is my opportunity to get into XML. DOWNLOAD *could* help you there, then an add on reporting facility with XML not an add in . In his original post, Barry was looking for an automatic autofit of data into Excel cells. Tony, in his reply, mentioned DIY XML. I'm assuming that Barry's .csv file/s are a regular occurrence and of a fixed layout. The easiest method we have used in these sorts of circumstances is an up front (saved) Excel macro to add in columns, format columns, add column headers, etc, etc, even to the extent of using Excel's macro recorder. So, it might take a couple of goes to get it right, but once it's there, it's there forever But, I suppose that'd apply to XML as well as .csv It works - and it's cheap Thanks Mark Johnson - Original Message - From: Tony Gravagno [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org Sent: Sunday, October 23, 2005 5:46 PM Subject: RE: [U2] [UV][OT]Embed command in CSV file?

AFAIK, all MV variants only use the first iindex. If you try to use 2 indices, none are used. Must be documented. somewhere The old story applies: Use successive SELECTs to get the benefit of multiple indices I don't know if the double test in the SELECT statement ignores the INDEX on either (or the first) or is encumbered by taking the 11,000 quick DATE items and then hashingly goes through them looking for CUST. If I try SELECT FILE WITH DATE = 10.18 then SELECT FILE WITH CUST = 12345 it still takes longer than I would expect. Is a double INDEX a strange animal. Does U2 support indexing virtual fields, ie DATE.CUST? I don't think D3 can. Why not? The index is built on a DICT item. Wasn't there a discussion somewhere in the past week over indexing null items and the suggestion was to non-null them by adding something else to the key? Thanks in advance.

I suspect that most programmers would have to look at the documentation or a help screen to know why you're doing a RAISE, and what the -1 and the 'x' are all about. Maybe I'm wrong about that. It's all neatly explained in HELP BASIC TRANS and I'd hazard that anybody that wanted to go down *that* road (the obfuscation path I'd call it) in their code would soon get used to t'syntax A line that starts out VAR= doesn't immediately say to me, here's where we're doing some I/O. If I'm searching a program for I/O statements, I'm not generally looking for something like this. There's also the overhead of doing the RAISE, which is only there to counteract the behavior of the TRANS. On small records this wouldn't be significant, but if you're processing many large records, it could make a difference. I'm not trying to be difficult here - I'm just trying to see the benefits of this alternative to a straightforward and standard approach. As far as I can see, the only benefit (???) *might* be that if the variable passed to a TRANS as the Item-ID for the file is a multi-valued list, the data returned is a list of fields for each item. This *might* have some benefit in timing. but for all I care, a READ is a READ is a READ (might even be a TRANS) regardless from whence it originates Hope I never get to having to squeeze the nth degree of timing out of anything I write. But, all that aside, I'm sure I can recall a UV support person (who shall remain nameless 'cos I can't remember who he/she is/was... Chris???. Trish??? - yep! that long ago) telling/advising that one shouldn't use TRANS for other than I-types... for some now obscure reason but I think slow was mentioned.

There should be virtually no elapsed time between I1:I2 above, but long elapsed time between E1:E2. I expect I2:I3 to approximately equal E2:E3. Let me explain why this is counter-intuitive. Normally, the BASIC SELECT statement itself does not actually do any select on the file. It merely sets things up behind the scenes so that subsequent READNEXTs each get the next id from the file opened to F.FILE, (next meaning as stored on disk).

Secondly... You have a SETPTR somewhere where you're actually *starting* the printer, don't you? The SETPTR is a UniVerse verb If it's one of the el cheapo jet printers - or, actually, any jet printer - don't expect it to do any fancy printing: Under UV all you can get out of those sort of printers is a subset of PCL3... no lines, ergo, no boxes, very limited fonts, if any...About all you can get is some, very few, of the normal PCL stuff: IIRC you can go landscape/portrait and with the SETPTR GUI option you can set the font FONTNAME Courier New and size FONTSIZE 8 to permit using an A4 sheet landscape, with small print, to emulate a 15x11 sheet... SETPTR 0,,AT UVDEFAULT,GUI, FONTNAME Courier New,FONTSIZE 8 should get you somewhere. Provided you've named your printer UVDEFAULT.

RE: [U2] Unusual problem w/Dynamic Connect 'speed'
Goo'day, Joe, I've been walking around for 2 days trying to think of THE word, and it has finally come to me... Nagle. We had this issue with Dynamic Connect a few years ago An Infocus search today brought this back: Quite some time (some time within the past 4 years) ago I posed a question to the group regarding half-screen jerkiness as a result of UniVerse (9.6 IIRC) on NT4 and Dynamic Connect, and if I remember correctly ZoneAlarm PRO.. The freebie ZoneAlarm didn't exhibit the problem, only the PRO version. Similarly, wIntegrate doesn't exhibit the problem - only Dynamic Connect IIRC it is/was some sort of timing problem, and our customer was badly affected - one second delay half-way down the screen - predominantly when painting menu screens from PROCS I cannot recall the exact definition but a trawl through Infocus might bring something up At that time the word nagle (or nagling - I still don't quite understand what it means) came up and we had to live with it by upgrading one box form DC to wIntegrate A better Infocus search might reveal more..

Questions: 1. Has anyone else used the tool? 2. If so, were they able to get it working on a PICK flavour account? 3. IBM, why would the flavour of an account effect the use of a client tool such as U2 XML/DB Tool?

We now have a requirement for certain areas to be in color and I'm having a problem getting my PCL codes correct for printing on an actual HP (or compatible) printer. I'm using the following PCL commands within a basic program: ESC * r -3 U select simple cmyk color palette ESC * v 3 Sselect blue foreground color This code works correctly when I run the output through visual software's PCL to PDF converter. I get my graphics and my selected text in blue. However, when I print direct to the printer, I get a lot of the logo in blue, but rectangular portions of the logo in black as if the raster portions are ignoring my color selection. Just wanting to know if someone else out there has successfully implemented PCL coloring. We have given up on this sort of thing. PCL to logos, etc, b/w or colour - colour is worse than b/w At least for now We have found the cheapest, easiest, best to be A4 pre-printed with logo - just the logo - and a second bin on the printer... That pre-printed form is then the basis for all printing - invoices, statements, what-have-you . Lines, letters and numbers - tremendous under PCL, but past that.. The cost of a (good) colour laser, toner, etc, and with the vagaries of colour in just the right proportions is just not worth the effort. We are now of the opinion we supply software to the customer or we spend the rest of our life fiddling and farting about trying to get it just right to the end users' satisfaction. And the ones who want it just right usually have the mongrel-est of logos!!! I wish you well...

Re: [U2] uv pe
Goo'day, At 10:40 18/02/05 +1100, you wrote: John, I want to do). The best answer I got was create a virtual field that stored the field in caps and then use that in the select. In fact, the example in an old Unidata manual I found says to do just that. Perhaps there is good reasoning behind that method, but the logic of it completely escapes me. when you create a dictionary entry like this, the data is not stored but generated at run time. In UV (I don't know about UD) you can also use the EVAL statement in a SELECT which does this kind of thing at runtime eg: SELECT MYFILE WITH EVAL UPCASE(@ID) LIKE ...HELLO... Works on UniVerse. Have a look at HELP EVAL from TCL. Or, you could use a MCU conversion ..
