RE: [U2] UV Bug?
Jerry, You're saying that the DM is in 3 of the D-descriptor? I think the problem is that the real data is an internal date, the external data in your TCL statements is an integer month number, and there is no way for the DM conversion to make meta-data that would match. What would 12 be as an internal date? This would probably work if you put the DM code in 2 as an OCONV(~,DM). That would make it data which could be directly compared to the 12 in your TCL statement. Then you're not fooling with conversions meta-data. --Ron P. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jerry Banker Sent: Tuesday, April 18, 2006 9:06 AM To: u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org Subject: [U2] UV Bug?

I reported on a file that I knew had data for a certain month. MONTH is a dict item (D in attr 1) with the DM conversion. I used the statements: LIST FILE WHEN MONTH = 12 and SELECT FILE BY-EXP MONTH WHEN MONTH = 12 In both cases, no items or values were returned, and the appropriate message was issued. This worked fine when the conversion was 'D2/', but consistently failed with 'DM'. Investigation revealed that the dict item seemed to fail in some ways to do the conversion, and did selection and returned values based on the internal date, not the number of the month. At my office we are interested in and concerned about this. We appreciate any input on this, and feel that it is obviously important.

RE: [U2] UltPlus to UV
Tom,
READLIST sounds like the BASIC statement you're looking for:
READLIST dynarray FROM listnumber THEN/ELSE
But it does seem to require a list number rather than a list
variable name. If you leave out the FROM listnumber clause, it will use
the active list #0. If your EXECUTE statement can be modified to use
list numbers, you could then use the READLIST statement to suck the
unused contents of the list into a dynamic array.
SENT = SELECT filename . TO 4
EXECUTE SENT ,//IN.INPUT.DATA ,//SELECT.INPUT.LIST ,//OUT.OUT.DATA
{no ,//SELECT. clause}
.
.
READLIST OUTPUT.LIST FROM 4 ELSE .
Not exactly a straight-forward port, but should duplicate the
functionality.
One caveat: READLIST behaves quite differently in PICK,
REALITY, and IN2 flavors.

RE: [U2] Sorting By Price
Bill, I think you're going to have to transpose your array (swap columns for rows), or create a stand-alone array to hold just the dollar amount, in order to make this work. The thing you're trying to LOCATE is a 3-value dynamic array itself (1 attribute, 3 values), so it's not a number, but rather a string. If you make Val.Array1 hold the extended amounts, Val.Array2 hold the part#'s, and 3 hold the bin locations, then you have all your dollar amounts in one attribute, and you can LOCATE Extended.F within that attribute, and then do 3 inserts at the located value position. Then change your extracts accordingly See below --Ron P.

RE: [U2] Integer Conversion Codes

You'd have to convert that DICT item to NUMERIC[1] (I think?) in 8 of an I/D-type or 6 of an A/S-type. That would define the column as a 1-decimal-place number for SQL purposes. If it says INTEGER there now, that would be incompatible with a conversion code of MD1. Did that UV file get converted into an SQL table? Or are you using an SQL query against that file, where you would normally use a RetrieVe statement?

RE: [U2] Unique Ids
David, If you added a new part to an existing distributed file, and the new part already had records in it, you could potentially have records in this new part whose item-id should be in another part based on the partitioning algorithm. Then you could create that item-id in the proper part (or maybe it already exists there, too!). Now you have 2 records with the exact same item-id, in 2 different parts of the distributed file.

RE: [U2] [UV] Transaction Compile Failure
Perry, You probably won't be able to have multiple END TRANSACTION statements. One BEGIN TRANSACTION where you have it, and one END TRANSACTION at the bottom of the LOOP structure, should suffice. Then just put a ROLLBACK and CONTINUE within each IF-, READ-, and WRITE-THEN-ELSE error trap. It looks like the compiler treats the BEGIN TRANSACTION--END TRANSACTION like it does BEGIN CASE--END CASE as far as imposing a top-down coding structure. It's not like a PRINTER ON/OFF toggle that you can set at will, as if it were TRANSACTION ON/OFF. But you are right that it does force you to code the TRANSACTION in a specific top-down style. Makes it tricky to add transaction processing to old code :) --Ron P. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Perry Taylor Sent: Tuesday, February 01, 2005 12:54 PM To: u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org Subject: RE: [U2] [UV] Transaction Compile Failure Logically there *is* an END TRANSACTION at two places.

RE: [U2] $50
I've seen this sort of thing a lot when emulators don't emulate the original *exactly*. We used to get $20 after a @(-1) in ProComm Plus doing a Wy50 emulation. When we looked in the terminfo library, sure enough, there was the clear-screen escape sequence followed by $20. An actual Wy50 green-screen processed that extra text, and didn't display it. The ProComm Plus emulation just spat the $20 out to the screen. After modifying the source, and doing the tic and uvtic to compile it, the $20 went away. Had to do some mods to the vt100 terminfo source on our new AIX box. Our emulator (Reflection) had trouble with the keypad, arrow keys, and a few other things. Our dba did the mods, put them in a new terminal type, did the uvtic stuff, and now it works like a champ! So try copying pasting a new term-type into the terminfo source, getting rid of the extra text that's showing up in your emulator, and doing the tic uvtic. Then use TERM or SET.TERM.TYPE to select that new one, and see if you get the behavior you want without the offending $20 --Ron P. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Ray Wurlod Sent: Thursday, October 28, 2004 3:58 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [U2] $50 UniVerse does not use termcap, it uses a pair of terminfo databases - the UNIX one and another one, in the UV home account, primarily to support the @() function.

The first thing to try is to set the terminal type, for example using the SET.TERM.TYPE command. If the symptom persists, a UV administrator can recompile the terminfo databases.

RE: [U2] [UD] running a subroutine

How about allowing 2 usage forms:
PRINT ; stmts {; morestmts}
-or-
PRINT
If no stmts are supplied at the command line, then LOOP for input, building
a dynamic array, then write that out as the temporary program. That would allow you
to build something more complex on-the-fly, if a one-liner didn't fit the bill.

Subject: Re: [U2] [UD] running a subroutine
Biased as I may be, but my PRINT example program will handle any of this and
much, much more instead of writing (and forgetting about) miscellaneous
procs and other small, limited use programs. It will give you more.
A problem with sending stuff to a proc is knowing how many parameters are
necessary as they all get slotted in A1, A2, A3 etc. If the values in the
subroutine contain (or allow) spaces, then this proc is useless. Plus, you
would have to test for n number of parameters before closing the
parenthesis.
Clearly typing this at tcl is better:
PRINT ; CALL SUBNAME(VAL1, VAL2, VAL3)
Later in the day you could type:
PRINT ; CALL ANOTHERSUB(VAL1, VAL2, VAL3, VAL4, VAL5, X) ; PRINT X
and not have to write another proc.
In fact, I welcome any criticisms or limitations anyone would have against
establishing this PRINT command to handle everything. I know of 2 limits: 1)
No hanging ELSE or THENs. 2) Cannot use READNEXT. Other than that I'm all
ears.
My 3 cents.

RE: [U2] UniVerse File Types
David, A type-1 directory file splits item-id's at 14 characters, which I believe was based on the old Unix file name limit. If a record's ID is longer than 13 characters, a new subdirectory is created to contain the rest of the name. If the rest of the name is also longer than 13 characters, yet another subdirectory is created. The TCL command UNIX.PATH simulates this: UNIX.PATH 123456789012345678901234567890 12345678901234/56789012345678/90 So if you said ED TYPE1FILE 123456789012345678901234567890 and filed that item, the body of the record would reside at: /.../TYPE1FILE/12345678901234/56789012345678/90 If you had typed ED TYPE1FILE 12345678901234 you would get: /.../TYPE1FILE/12345678901234/?

Until we did an upgrade to 10.1. Now it has been deemed un-reliable because it produced an undesirable result (an empty string) in a rather sensitive program. So, first question is: Is this a bad habbit I've had all these years? Second question: Has anyone else experienced a problem with this method of rounding? Is it a known bug? --- u2-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/ --- u2-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/ --- u2-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/
RE: [U2] [UV] How to return 'column' from dyn array?
Allen, From what I've seen in UV literature, they tend to officially call CHAR(253) @FM for field mark, but use @AM attribute mark for compatibility with other PICK-like implementations. --Ron P. -Original Message- From: Allen E.

What are the attribute numbers in the ORDERS file where the MFG.NO and PART.NO are stored? Let's say it's 4 and 18, respectively. : SELECT ORDERS SAVING UNIQUE EVAL @RECORD4:'*':@RECORD18 should do it. The Illegal attribute name for sort: MFG.NO:'*':PART.NO error message may be saying that you don't have an I-descriptor or D-descriptor in DICT ORDERS named MFG.NO or PART.NO. Using @RECORDnnn will work without having to have an existing I- or D- descriptor in place.

RE: [U2] What is UFD ????
Joe, UFD, as to my understanding, points to the home directory of the account you are in, where the VOC resides. So you are actually looking at the Windows/Unix level information. A type-18 file, for example, is just one big file/record to Unix or Windows, and would look mammoth! PLEASE be careful dinking around with UFD as you could mess up or delete your files!!! --Ron Pingilley -Original Message- From: Joe Walter [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, July 19, 2004 12:22 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [U2] What is UFD Just got word from tech support to create an empty record named ERRLOG in UFD file.

RE: [U2] UV Read failure
Sara, That error message looks like there is a: STOP 201,CONTRACT or STOP 201,FILE.NAME.VAR at that point in the program, probably in the ELSE clause of an OPEN statement. Can you post the top 20 lines or so of source code for that program? If it is a STOP statement generating the error text, the string being passed for display may not have anything to do with the real file name which the program is trying to OPEN. e.g. OPEN WORKORDERS TO F.WKORD ELSE STOP 201,CONTRACT is a perfectly valid statement for syntax, but EXTREMELY misleading at run time!!! --Ron P. -Original Message- From: Sara Burns [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, July 01, 2004 7:21 PM To: U2 List ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Subject: [U2] UV Read failure SNIP 0079 TRAN*y 15 0080 Program PTREVBRB: Line 15, Read operation failure.
