 Something I have long desired is diff tool for mv records (that will

 use standard diff/patch output) so it can integrate with other tools.



 Maybe a packager for SB+



 A diff tool for SB+ that understand what records make up an SB+ object.



 I started some thinking this direction on a sourceforge project, but

 got busy on many other things.

Re: [U2] Code Collaboration

2011-11-18 Thread Steve Romanow
In order to realize this vision, does every solution have to be
implemented in PICK?

If the goal is to make our development tasks more efficient it is
making sure the labor that one of us puts in is not reproduced by
another, i.e. Pick syntax files for various tools.

The collaboration point whether it is pickwiki or another, does not
have to host the code, but pointers to the places where the resource
can be maintained properly.

An example is the MAKEXML program on the wiki.  I have used that many
times and I seriously appreciate ECL and KRJ for making it available.
Is it perfect, not really, every time I use it, I get the docstring
twice.  The wiki is not the way to communicate that it needs a patch.
If I did (which I should) fix my copy, who do I communicate it to?  We
also need to let people know under what license we post the code
under.  Can I put MAKEXML up on my github and patch it, giving
attribution to ECL and KRJ?

 Make it searchable.  Sure.  I assume that any web pages are searchable.  You 
 have to actively make something not searchable AFAIK.

 Useful examples - hopefully.  Make sense to everyone - probably not as 
 possible.  But anything that doesn't make sense, you'd be able to markup

 I didn't address docs, but sure why not.

 Collaborate - that's the main point of my message really.  To find a way to

 Maybe you guys are talking about something else...
 Github, svn, cvs, PRC and all those are great tools, but, they probably
 ren't going to create the Wikipedia of the MV world.
 The above can be done, but, it needs to become a living/breathing thing
 hat gets updated a lot, otherwise, folks won't use it.  Hence the

 I know this kind of thing has been tried, and is being tried... but there

 Or people create something, and try to make it subscription based, which in

Github is pretty good for that, as well as bitbucket.  Forks are
cheap, and you can also set yourself as watching a repo.

In my bitbucket u2-tools repo is a copy of ADD_XML_ELEMENT() which was
from Gregor's UV space blog.  I talked to him and he was ok with me
putting it up there, but that is my modded copy to work with Unidata,
not universe.

Nearly all of the tools we have discussed offer an rss feed.

Something I have long desired is diff tool for mv records (that will

Maybe a packager for SB+

A diff tool for SB+ that understand what records make up an SB+ object.

I started some thinking this direction on a sourceforge project, but

Yeah, the data is good, but the output is not what I want.  and I
couldn't use it on a select list of items.

It is better than nothing, but not really what I am looking for.

I use vimdiff a lot (with my U2 work) and one thing I love is when
there is a difference on a line, it hilights where on the line the
change is.

If you use SB.COMPARE on say a report writer .TXT object, you know
that a field has been added, but where the diff is not easily seen.

One thing to be aware of with whichever vcs you choose, pat attention
to end-of-line characters.

There are some configuration settings in mercurial to say these are
always unix files and will not let an checkin from a windows machine
inadvertently send dos Ctl-M's.

Git for aix is available here.  http://www.perzl.org/aix/index.php?n=Main.Git
Mercurial for AIX can be found here.  http://www.lunch.org.uk/aix/rpms/

Note that Tortoise will only let you operate on a local repo.  You can
push and pull to the remote dvcs server, but any graphs or logs you
view will be for your local clone of the servers repo.

It might be worth doing some of this work with an ORM (Object Relation

syntactic sugar.

I think we are bike-shedding this now :)

I seem to recall that if the indexed field is _before_ the non indexed
field, its benefit is not lost.  I have not looked close at that in a
long time.

 True on UV, too.
 Compare output of these using EXPLAIN keyword:
 LIST FILE WITH indexed_field = soemthing  EXPLAIN
 LIST FILE WITH indexed_field = soemthing  EXPLAIN  NO.INDEX

 Or forget EXPLAIN, but do it with a large file and notice the speed
 differnce.

 Are you saying that when there is an index, the system does not need
 to
 read the record at all?  It just gets the SELECT list from the index?
 Is
 this only true in Unidata?

Re: [U2] UniBasic Question

2011-10-25 Thread Steve Romanow
But you are potentially reducing your input set for the 2nd criteria
by a large margin correct?

I've never considered alt key + non-indexed usage to create disk thrash.

When you select on an alternate key index, you are reading the file,
but (in Udt at least) an X_myfile binary file.  So you are doing a
direct read for the matching keys.  It has no knowledge of the file
layout.



On Tue, Oct 25, 2011 at 6:01 PM, Wjhonson wjhon...@aol.com wrote:

 Yes yes and no.

 If you execute a SSELECT on an indexed field, and don't specify NO.INDEX and 
 do NOT refer at all to any other fields in the file, then index does NOT read 
 the record to see if it even actually exists.  It just retrieves the list of 
 keys from the index.

 If you specific a SSELECT on an indexed field and ALSO specify some other 
 field criteria, then the select is *supposed* to use the index field FIRST to 
 retrieve the list of keys and ONLY THEN read each record to see whether it 
 matches the other criteria.  So the first pass if you will should be 
 lightning fast, but then IF your other criteria makes it traverse the 
 majority of the file you are in for big Trouble with a T that rhymes with 
 P that stands for Pool.

 The reason you are in for trouble in this last case, is that traversing the 
 majority of the file causes Disk Thrashing which is bad very bad very very 
 bad.  It causes this because you are forcing the system to reference the 
 records out-of-disk-order.  So it's jumping, jumping, jumping all over the 
 disk in a helter skelter summer swelter.

 You want to avoid that.

 SELECT *is* faster. Because it does far less work!

 EXECUTE SELECT needs to read the entire file to create a select list.

 SELECT merely reads group 0 to create a partial select list, then when
 it's exhausted goes on to group 1 and so on and so on.

 Which is BEST depends on what you want. Which is FASTER is always SELECT.

 (Oh - and while the poster didn't get it quite right, READNEXT is fast
 on UV, because while it doesn't pull the record into your program,
 because the key and data are stored together the mere act of accessing
 the key will cache the data at the same time).

 Hi All,

 We are considering going from our HP 9000 systems to IBM AIX. What has to be
 done to make that happen?   Do we need to recompile our source code? Are
 there any licensing issues? Is the data transportable or do we need to
 massage it? What about the dict items? Any other gotcha's?

 Is this an easy or difficult?

We just had a thread run through here that addresses this.  It may
have been my prelude user group ML, anyways.

IIRC, there is a 32bit odbc manager that ships with win7 64bit.

You have to use it to manage the driver.

Here is a thread that discusses this point.

[U2] Why Pick Eclipse?

2011-08-02 Thread Steve Romanow
Someone on G+ had a post that summed up some of the angst I have
regarding Eclipse.  I think its the overbearing framework followed by
thin plugins.

http://nfarina.com/post/8239634061/ios-to-android

Eclipse has some strong points, but I think some of the apps (plugins)
I have tried had less functionality that free-standing competing apps.

Some examples:

Editor - pydev, bdt, eclim, {insert other editing widget for eclipse here} vs
Any product by JetBrains, Emacs, VIM, Textmate, heck UltraEdit on win32.

For pure editing, all of these competitors have tons of features they
bring to the table.

The major thing BDT and others bring to the table are using u2 rpc and
svn.  Most of the editors I list also have a network layer, or just
using plain Samba on your dir file full of u2 src code.  There are
also dozens of ways to use git, svn, hg, etc.

 I think you skimmed the article see:

 The upside is, after acclimating to Eclipse, you’ll enjoy some seriously
 amazing, productivity-boosting code completion, refactoring, and automatic

 I think the real problem is that we expect Eclipse to be light weight like
 ED/AE, vi, EMACS, Notepad, or whatever.  Well it is an full IDE and with it
 comes incredible power.  The cost is nominal is today's world where I'm
 using a Windows 7 box with 8 gb of memory and 2 250 gb of hard disk space
 workstation.  However, my Java programmer has our Eclipse running on his
 NetBook with 1 gb of memory he paid under $300.00 for it.


I would use your editor before BDT.  I have that functionality already
available to me in vim so I am not in the market for a U2 editor.

I am starting to dabble in droid development so i am on the hunt for
that development stack.

Acclimating to raw eclipse may take me a while, but it is _the
supported_ stack endorsed by google.

A friend made me aware of Aptana, which from their description is
eclipse with focus which from first impressions looks very
palatable.  Every editor I mentioned can be configured with code
completion.  Auto-fixing and write my code for me? no thanks.  Wear
out my backspace enough as it is with autocorrect on my droid and in
msft office.

I do wish you the best of luck and have no fault with charging for
software.  Just doing a reality check with some of that devs in the

That was a trollish unreasonable statement.  I apologize.  I think a
more appropriate statement would be:

overwhelmed by eclipses gargantuan size, and underwhelmed by the
applications presented.

Does it bother anyone that all of the Rocket provided eclipse apps
come with their own static copy of eclipse?

I mean the editor in BDT, is it that great of an editor, besides
being graphical and has syntax hilighting?

Real IDE's are necessary for some projects like java and (also java,
Droid) development since it helps with packaging and whatnot.  That
really doesnt seem necessary for an mv app.

I'll stick to my old school vim, mercurial, and ssh.

 I agree that business rules shouldn't be on the client -- but who says
 they
 have to be in the database? Look at the ever-so-popular MVC
architecture.
 The models (i.e., the code that works with the database and enforces all
 of
 the business rules) are isolated from the views (i.e., the
 client/presentation code) entirely.

 Eclipse is one of the premier IDE's out in the world. Do want to teach

 We need to teach the young people coming into U2 world to use the finest

 version control, copying and pasting data, listing files, and searching
all
 within a single IDE to name just a few functions. Whether the Eclipse IDE
 is from U2logic or Rocket Software there is no other tools on the market
 that can compare feature to feature.

 We know you can do all of the above with wrappers, amazing VOC items, and

 Wait, why can't you add a new column to a table in MySQL or SQL Server?

 Putting aside the RDMS arguments, (*apart from familiarity*) why wouldn't
 you use something like MongoDB or CouchDB, which are accessible from more
 programming environments, over U2? They offer the same schema flexibility
 and disk space benefits you cite with U2 and so much more.

 MongoDB, for instance, has built-in mechanisms for auto-sharding,
 replication, REST API, full-text index, and I can go on and on. And it's
 FREE! :-)

 I can't speak to performance, but I'd love to benchmark MongoDB versus U2.
 Maybe I will.

 I know I sound like a MongoDB fanboy, but I think it's a straight-up U2
 killer. I challenge anyone to find an area where U2 beats it.

 The database structure can be painlessly modified which makes it much

 end of the table and go on with your day, try that with your favorite
 relational environment.

 Not so important today as it once was when disk was more expensive,but it
 uses significantly less disk space than a relational database storing the
 equivalent data. This also contributes to needing significantly less
 overall
 computing power to support X number of users for a given application due
 to
 more efficient IO, i.e. less disk reads required.

 You can use SQL, but you don't have to. This, above all, is the MY most

 Hello,

 Currently I have code that does something like this:

 EQU TM.LIMIT TO 3 ;* File useable if created less than TM.LIMIT seconds ago.


 OPENSEQ PATH.HOUSE:ipcs.txt TO F.IPCS ELSE RETURN
 STATUS STAT FROM F.IPCS THEN
   CLOSESEQ F.IPCS
   IPCS.TM = STAT15
   IPCS.DT = STAT16
   SEC.PASSED = (DATE() - IPCS.DT) * 86400
   SEC.PASSED += (TIME() - IPCS.TM)
   IF SEC.PASSED  TM.LIMIT THEN RETURN ;* Too old can't use it
 END

 The problem with this approach, is that in order to query the file's internal
 date and time, I have to do an OPENSEQ which locks the file.   This means that
 another process that may need to perform the same check has to wait for the 
 lock
 to be released.

 Any way to open the file in a ReadOnly mode in UV so that It won't get locked 
 ?

 Hi George

 I use a Windows phone 7.  With a web page there is a cost of time for
 downloading a web page and a performance issue with screen loading.
 With an app, I conform to the user interface of the phone which are more
 intuitive to a phone user.  The app loads quicker and runs quicker.
 However if you have users using android, blackberry, iphone, etc then
 you need to create a separate app for each phone.   With the new phones
 you need to load the app from the marketplace which is difficult for an
 enterprise application.   Hence the decision to use an app vs web is
 related to performance and intuitive interface vs portable and easier to
 load.

 Remember also that most phones have no virus protection and are a
 potential risk area for Trojans and viruses for web interfaces.  An app
 is a bit more secure.

 Again there are other features I can use on the phone such as sending a
 spreadsheet of KPIs to the phone rather than having an application to
 access KPIs.  There are just too many ways to skin a cat.

 Good points there David, which I notice a lot of people don't consider
 when dismissing the benefits of an app vs web.

 Another point is the better offline capabilities of a native app. I'm a

 Hi George

 I use a Windows phone 7.  With a web page there is a cost of time for
 downloading a web page and a performance issue with screen loading.
 With an app, I conform to the user interface of the phone which are more
 intuitive to a phone user.  The app loads quicker and runs quicker.
 However if you have users using android, blackberry, iphone, etc then
 you need to create a separate app for each phone.   With the new phones
 you need to load the app from the marketplace which is difficult for an
 enterprise application.   Hence the decision to use an app vs web is
 related to performance and intuitive interface vs portable and easier to
 load.

 Remember also that most phones have no virus protection and are a
 potential risk area for Trojans and viruses for web interfaces.  An app
 is a bit more secure.

 Again there are other features I can use on the phone such as sending a
 spreadsheet of KPIs to the phone rather than having an application to
 access KPIs.  There are just too many ways to skin a cat.

Re: [U2] Uniobjects - What Is It?

Uniobjects is a C module that has been wrapped and packaged for java,
vb, and .NET.

PickWiki has several examples, as well as the rocket software docs.

If you upgrade  to the new WebDE you will be using uniobjects for

 For example

 Customer        Invoice
 1000            12345
                12389
                13101
 2000            14000

 Would become

 1000            13101
 2000            14000
 2000            14001

 I can probably do it with a I Desc subroutine, but is there any UniQuery
 command to do the same thing without having to create many more
 dictionary items?

 That won't get me any closer.  Reason is that we have differing
 numbers
 of options possible.  I really need to somehow identify where PRN
 (or
 /PRN or PRN= or ...) is.  Once I have that, I can use FIELD on the
 double quotes to get what I want.

 Double slashes won't work, either, as FIELD still just takes the first
 slash character and uses it.

 Here's a sample of the data line I'm working with but, again, the
 number
 of options and option commands can change.  Only /PRN= is going to
 be
 guaranteed to be unique to that data position. (The sample may wrap
 but
 it's a single line.)

 001: %BTW% /RUN   /f=C:\BarTender\Template\Comply-FTL.btw

 Really, do we want to marginalize our talents by showing we can use a Basic
 editor that can do colors?  I wrote one of these editors for Prime
 Information in 1980's based on what I saw using Revelation G.  The source
 code for that editor is long since dead, thank goodness.

 My suggestion would be use BDT from Rocket Software, or mvDeveloper from
 Brian Leach Consulting, or XLr8Editor from U2Logic.   The first two are FREE
 and the second one is $49.00 per year.

 Again, at least these editors mentioned before don't require a telnet

 *Subject:* [U2] uv v ud

 Hi

 I seem to recall someone stating recently that uniobjects works much
 better
 with uv rather than ud, something to do with connection times etc.

 We are on ud71 on redhat ES 4 and do have problems with uniobjects.net
 with
 regard speed and stability.

 Does anyone have any experience / confirmation on this at all ??

 Thanks

 Symeon.

Re: [U2] Reconnect to headless udt session

Can you tandem to it?  I have tandemed to rpc sessions for debugging purposes.

I use gnu screen to detach and reattach to u2 session all the time.

2011-04-29 Thread Steve Romanow
GNU Screen is a little terse.  Very old program.  If you do not know
you need it, i would not use it first.

Assuming you are using unix, tandem must be run as root, and you just
do tandem portno.

I am sure it is in the manual.

 Many older db's do not.  However, some newer ones (Cache') have figured out
 that what Allen is asking for is expected in this day of web 2.0 - so why
 not build this functionality in?


For the same reason I do not buy AllInOne pc's or DVD-TV combos.  I
prefer a modular approach where you have some choices in the

Granted Erlang is good, and rock solid, and powers some very good

Re: [U2] PDF Files directly from UniData or UniVerse

2011-04-12 Thread Steve Romanow
We use a script called txt2pdf (maybe text2pdf, iirc) and it is
integrated into our SB+ spool functionality.

It is just another output like CSV or TXT.

If you are on aix, you can setup a virtual queue that runs a script on
anything printed through it.  That may work as well.  That is how our
Optio printing is integrated.

 Yeah, I had the feeling some folks took the bait in that direction,
 particularly once they gave that oh-so-enticing option of SQL Server. I'm
 particularly amused by this line in the wikipedia page for Progress Progress
 Software maintains in house consultants to develop and launch its products.
 That sounds almost like the PeopleSoft model -- hire sales, outsource RD,
 although they seem to insource them instead.

 Sorry you have had to go this route due to what would seem to be a
 reasonable company decision to continue with the ERP vendor and migrate to
 their latest offering. I recall a time not too long ago when Epicor was from
 the top UniData VAR and Datatel was the 2nd. They now both have SQL Server
 offerings, although to date Datatel's still has UDT in the middle tier
 AFAIK.   --dawn

 Epicor's Avante used to run on both UniData and UniVerse.  I presume that
 Avante is still the same.  Avante-UniData was intended for Windows Servers.
  Avante-UniVerse on Unix Servers.

 I am not aware of any Epicor's product running on Progress.

 I believe that Epicor had (or still has) other ERP software running on U2.

 A few years ago, with Epicor's new president, George X... Epicor's newer
 flagship product was released and runs on Microsoft SQL Server.

 [ad]

 When U2logic introduced the first U2 editor based on Eclipse IDE in 2004, we
 revolutionized the U2 tools market. All of our changes until today have
 really been evolutionary. We are announcing a revolutionary change for the
 U2 market which we call it Continuous Compile.


 Continuous compile means that when you stop typing, for let say 500
 milliseconds, we will verify your entire program with the UniBasic compiler.
 We show you the information that we get back from Universe or Unidata
 compilers with whatever compile options you specify.


 This is no parlor trick nor have we added a parser to Eclipse to do what the
 compiler does. We call the Unidata or Universe compiler to verify your code
 just when you stop typing. We have setup preferences to allow you to
 control if the function is on or off and how many milliseconds before it
 verifies your code. You will see the real error messages and any unassigned
 variables. Your code, however, never gets updated on the server until you
 specifically save and compile it.


 Say goodbye to EMACS, VIM, VI, Edit Plus, BDT, AE, ED, or whatever you use.
 Move up to the industry leader in Eclipse based tools for Universe and
 Unidata. The XLr8Editor can be yours for $49.00 per year.
