[U2] mvBASE to Unidata via virtual tape file
Anyone had experience with moving from mvBASE to Unidata via the VTF (virtual tape file) backup method provided by mvBASE ? FYI: the vtf is basically a tape file written to disk. mvBASE uses the same 'file-save', 'account-save', 't-dump' commands to tape as well as to VTFs.

RE: [U2] Basic program editor for Windows
My vote would be for AccuTerm. It's totally integrated with mv databases. Works on most if not all flavors. Can out online or offline. Works with SSH, Telnet, Serial, Modem, etc. Can transfer files to and from DOS. Includes BASIC keywords for highlighting. Allows you to add your own keywords, change highlight font, style, color. Allows you to item lock and compile while still in the editor. Can capture and save any screen or printer output to DOS. Has built in GUI development tools. And a whole lot more :) Is a long time supporter of the multi value market. Plus the author is a pretty good guy. Price is very reasonable. Steve Trimble Computerized Data Management, Inc.

As has been mentioned you can do syntax highlighting, but more important for me is the project organization tools. You can very effectively organize files you are working on into projects for easy retrieval. This works with files opened via FTP too. The only caveat I can add is that you are working OUTSIDE the U2 environment so source code management tools like PRC will not be directly integrated. You will have to add items you edit this way to your projects by manually adding them or editing them in U2. Rich Taylor | Senior Programmer/Analyst| VERTIS 250 W.

Now I get an error in the event log that says The description for Event ID (1000) cannot be found...

Subject: [U2] READU ... THEN _or_ ELSE but not both?
From the documentation:
READU dyn.array.var FROM [file.var,] record.ID.expr [LOCKED statements]
[ON ERROR statements] {THEN statements [END] | ELSE statements [END]}
Am I reading this right? When I READU I can either have a THEN or an
ELSE, but not both? (That it does not compile with both tends to
confirm that...)
At the moment I think I need both. :/ And I need to do the same thing in
either case, so I ended up with:
READU R.XBWU FROM F.XBWU, X.ONE.ID LOCKED
CRT 'XBWU RECORD IS LOCKED, IGNORE IT'
END THEN
X.LOCKED = '1'
END ;*END READU
IF X.LOCKED = '1' THEN
CRT 'OBTAINED LOCK ON XBWU RECORD'
R.XBWUXBWU.ASURITE = X.ASURITE
WRITE R.XBWU TO F.XBWU, X.ONE.ID ON ERROR
IF STATUS() = 10 THEN
;* Either the ASURITE or USER.ID is duplicated
X.ERROR = X.DUPLICATE.ON.WRITE
END ;* IF STATUS
END ;* END WRITE
END ;* IF X.LOCKED
Suggestions for improvement are welcome!
