Re: [U2] Taxware
Mark, With all of the changes in Unidata (over the years) we have been able to due an awful lot with Shims. Obviously, it no longer resembles the original version. We interface to conveyor systems, built an EDI engine, web presence, Amazon integration, address correction software, external search engines, etc. It really works well for us. As a matter of fact, there is another local company, that I believe, is still using Shims as well. Unfortunately, every good thing comes to an end. We were acquired by an entity that does not use Unidata. Theoretically, over the next 6 months we will be assimilated to their AS/400 RPG 4 system. Oh, well.

Re: [U2] Taxware
I integrated Taxware into our business system (Shims - Unidata 6.0). We use the transactional approach for exemption certificates but have developed a c-wrapper (with the help of this list) for the realtime api for the tax calculations. We do not use the client side application for tax exemptions because it is far to limiting (have to download to a local pc and manually enter certificates). If you would like move information, please feel free to contact me offline.

RE: [U2] [OT] - Texas Sales Tax
We have integrated Taxware into our Unidata Shims database, using CALLC. Rather than using the client software, we build data-entry screens to front-end their client side interface. State-to-state taxation is so complex (especially Illinois) that it is nearly impossible to manage without some sort of third party application.

[U2] Over write first record with writeseq
We have a need to overwrite/update the first record of a sequential file. Sure I could write 2 sequential files and 'cat' them or make 2 passes through the data extract to get the totals but I thought I has seen a way to resent the pointer (thereby overwriting the first record). Any ideas? Vance Alspach J L Industrial Supply --- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/
Re: [U2] Over write first record with writeseq
That is what I suspected, but I could never get the writeseq to write back to the file. I tried CLOSESEQ and then a WRITESEQ of the new data but since they were not the same length maybe it was preventing the write. I would have thought that it would overwrite the first 2 records if it was longer than the original. thanks anyway.

Re: [U2] [DC] Dynamic Connect, Ctrl V
We do this all of the time in Dynamic Connect. I use Ctrl-V, etc for our in-house editor (ie; C-V shows ascii values, C-C merges from another program). Our production session uses Ctrl-V and Ctrl-C for cut and paste. Go into Setup-Keyboard, select the Alpha-numeric radio-button and change C_C to Invoke EditCopy and C_V to Invoke EditPaste (don't forget to check the Macro checkbox). Save Session. Could not find it in the Dynamic Connect manuals but stumble with the Wintegrate manuals and found it. hth, I have a user who like to use that Ctrl-V, Ctrl-Something to cut and paste.

Also, I would always put the change date/time stamp on the same line, descending order, that way you can use/develop utilities to make mass changes (increase matrix size) and reliably insert a date/time stamp for the change.

Two items I have thought of. 1. In addition to putting a modification tag at the top of the code with who/date/what, we also will assign a job number to the mod in addition to a No for the mod. Such as mod 01. Then throughout the code where the changes are made we put a tag such as *01 start and *01 end or, just a single tag at the end of the line if only one or two lines being changed. This makes the changes very easy to search for and spot should there be problems in the new code. 2. Consider when to use a paragraph and when to use a program. Paragraphs (proc) certainly has their uses, but when the paragraph gets to using IF, Case, locate, etc seems time to use a program. For two reasons. One being while paragraphs (at least in SB+) can do a lot, getting it to do everything a program can do can be difficult. If you have an involved paragraph, sooner or later you'll be adding to it and find you can't easily add what you want to add, that it needs to be a program. Second reason being some of the commands are different syntax in a paragraph vs a program, why learn/memorize or have to look up two different syntaxes? --- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/ --- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/

RE: [U2] Dynamic Connect
Thanks Ian and John, I have PE at home and have reviewed the Support Information. Under License Information, it gives the serial number and states 'users: 999'. With that stated, we have recently installed a phone system that allows us to monitor customer calls and service representative's screens to help improve customer service. The terminal emulation software that our service reps use was written specifically for our needs but unfortunately, the monitoring software skips screen displays (possibly because of refresh rates). In the development group, we are using wIntergrate for obvious reasons. Since Dynamic Connect is a 'cut-down' version of wIntegrate, we feel comfortable that we can use its terminal emulation capabilities (eliminating many of the menu options) for our users. My only concern is that I am uncertain of the licensing restrictions, which I am still unclear as to the limitations. From the readme file, there is mention that 'Installation no longer requires authorization' which leads me to believe that we could use this as a corporate solution to terminal emulation (baring multiple sessions and will it work with the phone system). Any feedback is greatly appreciated. Vance Alspach J L Industrial Supply Yes and no You do not need an activation key but it *is* licensed (should be in the license information contained with the product).

Re: [U2] [UV] SOX Compliance and Universe
Meeta, We have had to get rather inventive for the same reasons (SOX). We are controlling it from the OS level (ie; can't clear it if you don't have write access). We have multiple environments. The production environment is locked down. The development and staging environments allow us full access to develop, test and manipulate data. We are using a product called Remedy to document the changes and change control approvals. We have a process in place that will implement the changes that can only be run by certain individuals. In the event (daily) that we need to make changes in the production environment, we make a 'FIRECALL' to a dedicated support group that will give us access.
