Re: [U2] How do you determine terminal emulator?

In message 6.0.1.1.1.20100309151717.05cc2...@12.167.143.145, Beverly Wilson bwil...@daedalus-books.com writes Hi folks, I'm wondering if anyone on the list can tell me what I can do to determine whether a user is using the Viaduct terminal emulator via UniBasic? Can you configure Viaduct? It should have some sort of answerback function. We have some code that can tell if the emulator is Accuterm or Wintegrate, but I haven't been able to come up with a command string that would cause Viaduct to return a value. I've looked through the docs, but haven't found anything. (I may be suffering situational blindness.) To give you an idea, these lines when run in through Wintegrate puts an X into the variable C: PRINT CHAR(27):CHAR(1):ENTER :DQUOTE(X):CHAR(13): INPUT C WAITING 1 ELSE C = Been there done that, but what you're doing looks slightly odd to me. We had a mix of Prime PT200s, PT250s, Wyse85s, and Wintegrate configured as a PT250. All of the real terminals would respond to a sequence something like esc? (can't remember what it actually was). So I wrote the login program to send this sequence to the user, and the terminal would (as it was meant to) respond with some string without any user intervention. And I programmed Wintegrate to behave just like a pt250 including this answerback. If you look at the pt250.wis (or is it .wit?) file distributed with Wintegrate you might well find my code in there to do exactly that. You'll need to read the Viaduct docu, but if it's at all user-configurable, you should be able to program it to do an answerback. Cheers, Wol -- Anthony W.

Re: [U2] Converting from mvBase to Universe
If your code uses the U50BB user exit to get the port number, there is a quick fix, but it will make upgrades a little more complicated. 50BB is a basic program in the APP.PROGS file in the UV account. You can modify it to send port information based on user login or other criteria. I send information into the 3rd field for program logic and leave the port number and account info alone. -Original Message- From: Curt Stewart [mailto:cstewa...@earthlink.net] Sent: Sunday, July 19, 2009 5:43 PM To: u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org Subject: [U2] Converting from mvBase to Universe I have a client that is considering moving from an mvBase system to a Universe (Windows) system. A lot of their processes are tied to specific ports and ranges. Is there an easy solution in Universe to nail the telnet ports for the users? Also, they use UREAD and UWRITE and take advantage of the MVClients ability to read and write to the local workstation, instead of the server when not using MVClient. I haven't heard of this separation being available in Universe, other than using something like Accuterm, am I right? Or is there an easy way to distinguish between writing to the local drive vs. the server? How has others handled this conversion issue?

[U2] Odd permissions error running a vb script using dos /c command
I have a vb script that updates a filezilla configuration file on another server given a username and password. Universe 10.2 is running on a Windows 2003 Server. The Universe Server has administrator permissions on the other server. If I run the script from the windows command line of the Universe server, it works perfectly. If I run the script from TCL or execute it from Unibasic it throws up a permissions error pointing to the write line of the vbscript.

RE: [U2] Mentor Pro to UniVerse
I moved data from a GA R91 machine to Universe using Account saves and some modified programs from U2. To read the tape and write a tape file on the disk to use to restore from: Navigate to c:\ibm\u2\bin and run: UVMT -d\\.\tape0 -bBLOCKSIZE -t fread filename to Restore to U2 provided the following set of programs originally designed to move data from D3 to Universe. MVRESTORE. Designed to restore an account save from R91 into an existing universe account. Unlike D3RESTORE this routine restores the files into the account from which it is executed. Also handles BSegments on tape. Will create multi-level files where appropriate. The 'R91' system has an additional tape record not seen on the 'MV' systems. For a type 'DC' file each item is followed by an 'ET' tape record. The 'DC' file as I understand it represents an 'indirect reference'. The 'ET' record seems to be a hex value that points to where the record in question is stored. Suspect this is either a disk record number or group number. Put the routines in APP.PROGS file. Compile all except 'COMMON'. Catalog them globally, ie., CATALOG APP.PROGS *MVBSEGMENT CATALOG APP.PROGS *MVDSEGMENT CATALOG APP.PROGS *MVGETBLOCK CATALOG APP.PROGS *MVGETRECORD CATALOG APP.PROGS *MVISEGMENT CATALOG APP.PROGS *MVRESTORE In each account where you want to restore the data, create a simple pointer to 'MVRESTORE', for example: MVRESTORE 001 V 002 *MVRESTORE 003 B 004 N Log in to the account on Universe that you want to restore. Execute with image name on command-line, ie., 'MVRESTORE FILENAME from UVMT command created above'. The file must exist in the account you are to restoring.

RE: [U2] EXECUTE environment in Universe
Wol, Thanks for the suggestion. The problem is the order of magnitude. I have 889 programs with at least one or more instances of this code to change. That's a fair amount of code to change and test. I don't want to enable PIOPEN.EXECUTE or use PERFORM universally because, depending on the program, we may have one or two instances of this select list type of code combined with a recursive executed program or a program that executes another program with named common variables so I do not want to share the workspace.
