[U2] re directing a unidata directory to another server
I have created a Unidata (1.7x) directory to which I am writing files in a unibasic program. However I want the file to be saved directly in a folder on another server that is in the same virtual machine as our Unidata based system. All reside on windows server. I have tried everything I can think of from drive mapping to shortcuts, but Unidata still can't find the folder on the other server. What do I do so Unidata sees the mapping or shortcut or ??. Can this be done in Unidata? I do not want to ftp the files, I want them saved on the other server when the Unibasic program writes the file. -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/redirecting-a-unidata-directory-to-another-server-tp30736884p30736884.html Sent from the U2 - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ U2-Users mailing list U2-Users@listserver.u2ug.org http://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users

Re: [U2] re directing a unidata directory to another server
From what I understand you have Unidata on one machine and you want to write to a directory on another machine within your network (node). I'm not sure what you mean by a folder on another server that is in the same virtual machine...a virtual machine spans two physical machines? Assuming I've misunderstood, if you're running Windows 2003 it's easy. If you're running Windows 2008 it's relatively easy but different. Which O/S are you running?

Re: [U2] re directing a unidata directory to another server
I don't think UD has the NFSALLOW flag. In UD, you can simply write to any directory that's available to the network where the user had write privileges. This raises a number of issues but, for instance, in Windows 2003 Server you can create a VOC entry to: OSFILE 001 DIR 002 \\SOMESERVER\D$\SOMEDIRECTORY 003 D_VOC This works but you may have to alter the permissions, if a UD user doesn't have the proper Windows permissions. In Windows 2008, however, you have to explicitly share the directory on the server. Then the VOC entry is like: OSFILE 001 DIR 002 \\SomeServer\ShareName 003 D_VOC At least this has been my experience so far.

Re: [U2] re ceiving error message XX record corrupt on logto
Hi Susan This is caused by either a missing or corrupt DMSECURITY item(s). We had a customer that couldn't add anything to their menus because when they did, upon saving half the menus would disappear completely. It was all due to the fact that they had removed an account at Unix but everything was still in the DMSECURITY file. When the menus were re-built the 'missing' account caused corruption. It could even be the fact that the Allow Disallow on accounts with restrictions has modules missing. Make sure the DMSECURITY is totally up to date and in line with the actual accounts.

[U2] Re: UniVerse on Windows 2003 Server - Environment
Still haven't found our issue but I'm wondering if you've ever seen this behavior. It seems to be happening about once a day to different users. Our users use putty to login to our ssh server. From there they are routed to the universe server. I'm not real familiar with how all that works. Once in a while a users session will get dropped but the telnet session in universe remains open. They can be doing absolutely nothing at the time of disconnect (sitting at tcl or a input prompt), yet their process will begin consuming cpu resource like crazy until we go in and manually disconnect them.

Without us taking any action the system begins responding normally again and we usually make it through that day without issue. We typically have around 85 users on the system at one time sometimes that gets up closer to 95 or 100 but not often. I have noticed certain processes that definitely cause the issue like running winmsd from the command line or renaming a directory on the server. Since I know these processes cause the issue I don't do that during the day. Obviously there are other processes that also can cause issues for us. We have worked with our vendor and Rocket and the latest we've gotten from them is that our server is under-resourced. While that very well could be true, we want to do a little more research first and reach out to other Windows/UniVerse users to see what hardware they are running and if anyone is in a virtualized environment.

[U2] Re-open - file failure
Hi, We are on Solaris, running Universe and had a system failure the other day which affected one of our distributed files. After running a uvfixfile on the first partfile, we still got the message Warning: No link to overflow group 325598. We were able to count/select the file without problems, but were uneasy about the error. We created new files as a backup then did a COPY of the data to the backup files. After completing the copies, we removed the old distributed file and all of the old part files, then setup a new distribution with the copied data. Now if we run a uvfixfile on the newly created first partfile, we receive the message Warning: No link to overflow group 325599. Why we still have this error after creating a brand new file set is beyond us. In addition, we had an open file error during program execution. After tracing through the debugger, there is a program that does a file open, then calls a subroutine that opens the file again. The first open succeeds, the second fails. (why we are doing a double open is well, dumb, but that's another issue). Even more bizzare, if we create a test program that does an open, and another test program that re-opens the file, both open statements succeeed. We are at a loss and are very uneasy with the current situation. Has anyone ever experienced any similar events? We would appreciate any guidance you may have to share. We have escalated within our software group, which will hopefully be escalated to Rocket for resolution. We wanted to post here also in the hope we might find some resolution.

David, Works in text mode and from word etc. Interestingly enough managed to duplicate the problem. Before clicking the connect in a SBClient session there's a File option at the top of the window. Selecting that then selecting Print Options gets a small window up with a tick box labeled Use Windows Print Drivers. If you click that then carry on into your session the same issue occurs. Now the real cool part is after logging off and going back to the Print Options window the Use Windows Print Drivers is no longer ticked but the issue occurs if you log back onto the system. Thinking this has to be some sort of bug in SBClient. Unfort we have zero support over here, don't even get me started on the Aussie VAR situation, so am unable to call in the cavalry at this stage.

PICK / U2 Hits? Any ERP Light applications out there? Hello folks, A good number of years ago, there used to be a published list / document / book of various PICK / U2 Solutions Providers or Value Added Resellers and ISV (aka Independent Software Vendors) listing the VAR or ISV, their vertical markets served, and descriptions of the applications they provided, (I think it was called PICK HITS or something like that?). Is there anything similar produced/published these days? It would appear that such a document would be an excellent vehicle for the continued proliferation of the multi-valued market. (IBM U2 Marketing - where are you?) I too am out of work, but in discussions with a small local MFG type operation about an IT Manager opportunity. One of the main aspects they're looking for in this IT Manager position is someone to find, and implement an ERP Light application. It should be noted these folks have previously attempted a Epicor solution that they were sold that when it came time to implement, they discovered that this Epicor product did not do what this company needed at all. This company was promised what they wanted it to do could be done, but then learned well AFTER shelling out big $$, (after expected delivery time of the mod's), that what they wanted was not currently possible, but could be attained with 10X the previously shelled out big $$ and a couple of years of development time from the Epicor development team. Needless to say, that implementation fell flat on its face, and now they're out looking again. Looking for something that does Sales Orders and Sales History, Inventory Control, AP / AR Financials and maybe a few other basic MFG type related applications. Surprisingly, these folks are not using any pre-existing package, but using a lot of home grown type spread sheet based improvised solutions. Ideas? Suggestions?

RE: [U2] Re: [UV] Passing a string when a Matrix is expected
INMAT() looks like it may do the job for you. HTH. INMAT function _ SYNTAX INMAT ( [array] ) DESCRIPTION Use the INMAT function to return the number of array elements that have been loaded after the execution of a MATREAD, MATREADL, MATREADU, or MATPARSE statement, or to return the modulo of a file after the execution of an OPEN statement. You can also use the INMAT function after a DIM statement to determine whether the DIM statement failed due to lack of available memory. If a preceding DIM statement fails, INMAT returns a value of 1. If the matrix assignment exceeds the number of elements specified in its dimensioning statement, the zero element is loaded by the MATREAD, MATREADL, MATREADU, or MATPARSE statement. If the array dimensioning is too small and the zero element has been loaded, the INMAT function returns a value of 0. If array is specified, the INMAT function returns the current dimensions of the array. If array is the null value, the INMAT function fails and the program terminates with a run-time error message. EXAMPLE DIM X(6) D='123456' MATPARSE X FROM D,'' Y=INMAT() PRINT 'Y= ':Y * DIM X(5) A='CBDGFH' MATPARSE X FROM A,'' C=INMAT() PRINT 'C= ':C * OPEN '','VOC' TO FILE ELSE STOP T=INMAT() PRINT 'T= ':T This is the program output: Y= 6 C= 0 T= 23 -Original Message- From: owner-u2-us...@listserver.u2ug.org [mailto:owner-u2-us...@listserver.u2ug.org] On Behalf Of Jacques G.

John, Be aware that sockets are a stream based protocol and not a message based protocol. When you send data to a socket it may arrive in one or more pieces (packets). On a LAN this may never occur, but over a WAN or the internet your data packets will almost surely be broken up into smaller pieces. On the receiving end you will need to know the length of the data you expect or have some sort of end-of-line character(s) to know when you have received all of the data. Years ago I wrote a program that worked well on a LAN, but failed randomly when data was passed through the internet. I mistakenly thought that if I sent a packet with 1024 bytes that I would always receive a packet with 1024 bytes (like writing and reading from disk). This is not the case. Kevin M.

Kevin, aren't you describing UDP communication, not TCP? Packets can be fragged and move through any number of different channels w/ UDP, but they're reassembled as a part of being received through TCP. If you sent a 1024 packet over UDP I would expect exactly what you've stated. Send a 1024 packet through TCP and I'd expect 1024 to arrive, and in order, as long as there's no failure. Of course, failures can occur with any protocol, even those that self-negotiate, so timeouts, dropouts, disconnects, and other failures have to be addressed in the implementation. -K --- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/
RE: [U2] RE: U2 Users Digest V1 #2599
The issue is that if you send a 1024 byte message through a TCP socket, you may eventually get 1024 bytes out the other end, but you may not get them all at once. The message may be broken up into lots of pieces, i.e. if you do a read(), you may get 1024 bytes, or you may get a lot less, and have to read() again. Best regards, Henry Henry P.

If so could you provide some info. We're doing real-time replication rather than using snapshots, but the goal of avoiding downtime is the same. There was a long thread on this topic back on 3-18, so I won't post all the details of our implementation again, but I'd be happy to resend my post to you off-list if you don't have it. To summarize: While you can use 3rd party software to replicate UV at the OS level, there is an important issue to consider. Writes to overflow space of a hashed file require more than one write operation, as do on-the-fly automatic resizes of dynamic files. If the live server goes down when only one or some of these writes have been completed, the replicated copy of the target file may be broken, possibly beyond repair. Turning on UV transaction logging can eliminate this danger, but there is an important issue to consider here as well. Dan Fitzgerald pointed out that if you are copying the logs to your backup machine as they're closed and rolling the transactions forward, you will almost always lose the last transaction because it is likely to span 2 log files and will be seen as incomplete. If I understand correctly, however, this issue applies to a hot-spare scenario where UV is actively running on both servers. We use a cold-spare where UV doesn't run on the backup machine and the data filesystem isn't mounted. IBM's recommendation to me was to use transaction logging and replicate the logs to the backup machine along with the UV data. In a failover scenario, UV would be warmstarted on the backup machine and only the active transaction log would need to be rolled forward. There is some I/O overhead associated with transaction logging,
[U2] RE: UniObjects connection timeouts?
What version of the UniObjects assembly are you using.. We ran into this alot with the first .Net assemblies IBM shipped, but later releases are a lot better, and the RPC issue seems to have been largely resolved. FYI - We use the same assembly on Unidata and UniVerse, and had the same/similar issues on both U2 Products - moving to a later release of the assembly solved a lot of problems on both U2 products..

UV 10.2.3 on Windows 2003 server. UniObjects calls in Windows Forms (.Net 2.0) using VB.Net. UniObjects are supposed to have a default no-time-out. I am not modifying any properties or parameters, and per UniObjects developers doc: Timeout This property specifies the length of the timeout for a connected session. The timeout period is used by the UniVerse remote procedure call utility (UniRPC). The default value of this property is 0 (no timeout period). For values greater than 0, you must specify seconds. Session Object: Properties 3-52 C:\Program Files\Adobe\FrameMaker7.0\UniVerse Note: If you enter a value that is too small, a running process (for example, the Read method) may time out. If this occurs, an error code is returned and the connection to the server is dropped. This applies to both session and read timeouts. Again, I am not changing these properties at all. Yet, sessions unattended for more than an (unknown) amount of time, about 4 hours at the latest incident (but I hit it with less time earlier, somewhere around 1 hour), are causing the following exceptions to be caught: Unable to write data to the transport connection: An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host.[IBM U2][UODOTNET-UNIRPC][ErrorCode=81009] The RPC failed. Note that message 81009 does not exist in SYS.MESSAGE. Does anyone know how to make the sessions truly NOT time out, or fix whatever this problem is about?? Thanks in advance!

[U2] RE: IDE
Our UniData database is on a Unix box. I have mapped the key dirs to my PC. This allows me to use any PC editor I wish. I usually use SlickEdit because that is an editor that lots of other folks here use for other applications, but I have also used Primal Script (the 2nd most popular editor here). But again, since all my Unix stuff is mapped, I use whatever I want. Of course, this is only for things in non-hashed/PICK files, but that is what I spend 99% of my time doing. Since we use Redback, I use these same editors for my web pages too.

Re: [U2] RE: UV Timed INPUT
George, I've run into that before - it's probably network latency. If there's nothing in your keyboard buffer, your routine will bail. If a multi-character keystroke gets broken between packets, that can happen. Experiment with a delay before the INPUT TEST,-1 to allow the network to catch up with you. It takes some tweaking, but faster hardware lessens the effect. Of course, if you're not networked in any way, then I'm probably all wet. I've been there before.

And the documentation just seems to assume that everything will work fine - it doesn't even *mention* troubleshooting as far as I can see, just says if it doesn't work, once you've fixed the problem ... and assumes it's a dodgy file you're trying to replicate. I've just created two clean accounts to try and get things working between them ... Any help/ideas gratefully received.

RE: [U2] RE: UV - Error when using WHEN [not-secure]
Colin and Ron are correct! A quick I-descriptor to CONVERT 4A to something else caused proved it. As soon as I read the first mention of MATCHING... I remembered, with a sinking feeling, that LIKE is just a synonym for MATCHING... Thanks again!

Re: [U2] RE: UV - Error when using WHEN [not-secure]
Yes, WHEN can be frustrating. 1st, make sure the multi-valued associated fields are properly defned with M's in field 6, association name in field 7 and, for good measure, create a phrase with said association name as the id of the phrase, and all the associated fields listed in 2. Then add a BY.EXP to the SORT(or other RetrieVe statement) statement, even if you don't care about the sort on the values, sub-values. Just piuck a field to sort by. If you really care about sorting by @IDs do that explicitly as the primary sort, the by.exp sort secondary: LIST OC34UD.WORK.SP16504BY @ID BY.EXP OC34UD.01_ OC34UD.01 OC34UD.02 OC34UD.03 OC34UD.04 OC34UD.06 OC34 I was really looking forward to that package. cds --- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/

[U2] RE: Triggers on a NFS file?
Owww Firstly I doubt the trigger on one system will spot changes made by the other system. But, rather more seriously, we have had UV file corruption which was laid pretty conclusively down to two systems accessing the same dynamic file - oh and one of them, allegedly, only had read access! If you're doing this, I'd say the first rule is DON'T use dynamic files. Preferably use a type 1 file. And only use the file as a staging post. Even then, don't expect it to work all the time, every time. If you control the third system, look at firewalling the UV ports and using port forwarding - with a bit of effort you should be able to get the first two systems to network transparently.

I have (2) linux system that have that directory mounted, which each have UV that have a VOC pointer to that file. 1F , 2 /mnt/directory/filename , 3 /mnt/directory/D_filename Both UV systems can read/write to this file, but only one system will be writing to the file, the other will only be reading.I realize locking is not respected from one system to another. If I defined a trigger on this file on the system that will only be doing the reading, will it detect any changes to the file when the other UV makes changes? Basically System1 will be making changes to that file. And System2 will need to update on it's system based on those changes. The reason I'm using NFS is that the two UV systems can't interact easily because they are on different networks, but both have access to the system which is exporting the UV formatted file.

Re: [U2] RE: Triggers on a NFS file?
Hi Wol, But, rather more seriously, we have had UV file corruption which was laid pretty conclusively down to two systems accessing the same dynamic file - oh and one of them, allegedly, only had read access! This is an even worse case of what I brought out in my earlier reply. A dynamic file keeps information about its current modulus and load values (etc) in shared memory. Having this on two separate systems is a recipe for disaster. UV introduced the ALLOWNFS configuration option long ago with a default setting of 0 (no). When I deliver UV training, I take great care to emphasise that setting this to 1 (yes) also means it's all my fault if the file gets corrupted.

For reference, Windows still stores path/file names internally in short 8.3 format.

Jones Budget, 2007-2008 (revised).doc Chelsea smashed! at homecoming '07.jpg Windows was designed to be an operating system for home users and later became a server.

Unix is a system for engineers, not intended to be used by people creating OS-level filenames for their docs or pictures. Now, just to be clear, I didn't suggest that DBMS files should be allowed to have spaces in them, like CUSTOMER MASTER. I was giving IBM a little grief for not making use of a file system enhancement which was added to Windows 13 years ago so that we can put IBM programs under Program Files. There's no need for *nix compatibility at this level, commands like uv, udt, UniAdmin, and the UniSDK tools are all platform-specific, OS-level programs, and have nothing to do with the data in the DBMS. It's almost understandable that paths to data may give the DBMS grief if they contain spaces, like: D:\Data Sources\ABC Company\UV\Accounts\WAREHOUSE But even in this case, if ported to *nix anyone would know to move that to something more appropriate like: /home/data/abc_company/uv/acccounts/WAREHOUSE In either case, the DBMS-level file system should abstract the MV DBA from OS-level issues. For example, we should be allowed to create files like the following without OS-related issues: .TEMP OPEN-A/R CUSTMAST*DEPT That said, the CREATE.FILE verb should also prevent the creation of filenames that are commonly agreed as being a bad idea, like CUSTOMER MASTER. As always (like case sensitivity) this whole situation is just another case of engineers who decide not to make changes because they speak Unix and they expect the rest of the world to do so as well. The burden is not on them to make software work for the target OS but on developers to have to know how another OS works so that they understand why their own platform isn't working.

Re: [U2] RE: Ssh connections to Universe DB?
I'm exploring a possibility, and would like feedback. The problem: administrators want the security that SSH offers, but Universe (and some others) running on Windows offers only telnet access. Possible solution: 1) Obtain and run an SSH daemon on the Windows server, such as WinSSHd. 2) Run an SSH client with tunneling capabilities, to connect from a Windows desktop, via SSH, to the WinSSHd on the server. 3) Configure that SSH client to do local port forwarding (tunneling) of some arbitrary port (say, 1234) on the client PC to port 23 (the telnet port) on the server's localhost (that is, the server). 4) Run a (2nd) terminal emulator on the client, connected to the client's localhost, port 1234. The client's SSH receives a connection on its port 1234, and forwards it to the server, causing a connection to the server's port 23, where Universe's telnetd receives it. Connection is made. Because the tunneled connection is within the SSH session, it is authenticated and encrypted. I just tested this scenario using AnzioWin (our terminal emulator/SSH client) and it all appears to work. Is anyone doing this? Does anyone have any thoughts on this? It occurs to me that we could add functionality to AnzioWin to allow telnet over SSH all in one running program.

HI Laure, SSH is possible on windows. However, There isn't a complete SSH solution You have to purchase it (there are some free ones but they are very weak) They don't work with many of the terminal emulators, but it does work with Putty We are using SSL, which is an encrypted telnet protocol. The emulators seem to like SSL better than ssh for windows. SSL is easier but there is work either way.

[U2] RE: Universe Lock Error
Closing a file apparently releases all the locks. There's an implied close in read_prog, therefore the lock gets released. To fix it, you need to remove the OPEN in read_prog, either by opening the file in COMMON or passing the file pointer as an argument. Yup, I agree that behaviour *might* be broken, but then again it might not. There's arguments both for and against.

A couple more questions: 1.what kind of systems are you running red hat/universe on (model, specs, etc ) 2.what are you doing for high availability? 3.what are you using for backups (software/type of tape drives)? We're running UV 10.2.7 on RH ES 5.1. The hardware is a pair of IBM xSeries 3650s with 2GHz CPUs and 15K rpm hard drives configured in a 2-node HA cluster. The HA management software is LifeKeeper from Steeleye. We've been running on this hardware since sometime in April, and prior to that we ran UV 10.1.4 with RH AS 3.0 on a pair of IBM xSeries 345s in the same 2-node HA setup for a little over 3 years. The servers have been running contiuously since the upgrade: 14:58:19 up 139 days, 5:12, 52 users, load average: 0.05, 0.18, 0.17 There is one gotcha with terminal setup if you use ADDS Viewpoint emulation. You'll want to make sure any Viewpoint users have the following entry in their .bash_profile: if tty --quiet; then stty erase '^H' stty susp undef fi Actually, the '^H' backspace fix is needed for any emulation, but without the susp undef setting, Viewpoint terminal sessions with hang if the up-arrow key is pressed. We usually have around 100 terminal users at peak times, and probably average around 30K UniObjects for Java connections per day from our web site. For backups we're currently using a disk-to-disk-to-tape appliance solution from UniTrends. The UniTrends appliance dumps 200GB of UV on-disk backups to a Certance (now Quantum) 8-slot LTO-2 autoloader at the beginning of each month. We also do additional redundant backups before and after our end-of-month batch processing to a 2TB NAS appliance from Aberdeen.

Re: [U2] Re: U2 Users Digest V1 #2326
That makes perfect sense. I am only handling UniSessionException and
UniSubroutineException in the routine. If I am understanding correctly, I
should add a catchall exception. Sort of a KitchenSinkException to
account for other exceptions.
Thanks a lot.

Charles-
As I read it, the unhandled exception is happening within the U2 object
when you are trying to execute the Java method PbrGetMgrList.
I never heard of JavaBridge before, but after reading the requirements
at http://php-java-bridge.sourceforge.net/doc/overview.php, I don't
think that is the source of the problem (java.inc is a PHP include file,
and might be referenced through a URL such as
|once(http://localhost:9090/JavaBridge/java/Java.inc;);|). You can
verify that the JavaBridge is working by calling a Java method outside
of the U2 object prior to calling the PbrGetMgrList method; if it works,
then something is happening to your U2 object. I don't have enough to
troubleshoot any further at this point.

Subject: [U2] Uniobjects for Java
Hello,
I am accessing our Unidata server from PHP using the java bridge for a
few
months It has been working pretty well up until the current project I
am
working on.
PHP calls a method in a U2 object, which uses Uniobjects for Java to
invoke a UniBasic Subroutine on our Unidata 7.1 redhat based server.
Recently I have intermittently received the following error message.
**
Fatal error: Uncaught [[o:Exception]:java.lang.Exception: Invoke
failed:
[[o:U2]]-PbrGetMgrList.
Cause: java.lang.NoSuchMethodException: PbrGetMgrList().

I am not sure what this is referring to. I don't find a java.inc
anywhere
on the web server host.
This works most of the time, but sometimes not. and I don't see a
pattern. Most of the time it can be fixed by recompiling and
rejarring
the Java object, but that doesn't always fix it. One thing I wondered
about is that this is the first time that I have called a program with
no
input parameters.
Here is the java code.
/**
* @param none
* @return Tab delimited list of MGR_NAMES
*/
public String PbrGetMgrList() {
String result = ;
try {
OpenU2Session();
UniSubroutine uSub =
uSession.subroutine(PbrGetMgrList,
1);
uSub.call();
result = uSub.getArg(0);
CloseU2Session();
} catch (UniSessionException e) {
result = N;
} catch (UniSubroutineException e) {
result = N;
} finally {
return result;
}
}
Here is the UniBassic Subroutine code
$BASICTYPE 'U'
SUBROUTINE PbrGetMgrList(RESULT)
* Tab delimits data items
EQU HTABTO CHAR(9)
* Select records for this supervisor
RESULT = 'N'
ECMD = SELECT MGRACCT.DATA SAVING UNIQUE NAME

[U2] RE: TCL literal select and SQL Injection
From: Bruce Ordway I want to select all parts that have a in the description field (F1). People have been using instead of INCH. This causes problems for me during processing some reports and exports. I don't didn't get the original post to this, only replies - weird. What's being described here is the concept called SQL Injection where users intentionally or unintentionally put something in data that causes queries to misbehave. For example: PRINT Enter your customer ID to see your data INPUT CUSTID EXECUTE SELECT ORDERS WITH CUST ':CUSTID:' LOOP ... DISPLAY RESULTS ... What if the user enters: ME' OR NOT 'ME Please excuse my Pick-style syntax, but obviously embedding the user response into the query without filtering will allow anyone to see pretty much anything. Knowledge of the specific query isn't always required, but if the user knows they're working with a MV DBMS it's not tough to alter the query as easily as any SQL query. This isn't the sort of thing MV people grew up on with telnet clients, but it's critical when deploying apps to a public website - even with secured login.

RE: [U2] RE: SELECT problem with quote characters
OK - I see the problem.
True, it will not work the way it is, but there might be a work around. If the
string we are looking for could contain both single and double quotes, we are
out of luck with the standard way of searching.
However, we could write a simple I-desc that calls a program which would return
a value where the quotes are replaces with some odd character (like a tilda
or some non-printing character). Then have the program tweaked to select on
the I-desc looking for these odd characters.
For example:
Raw data = LLOYD'S
I-desc = LLOYD~S
Now, instead of:
SELECT FILE WITH FIELD LIKE ...LLOYD'S...
We would do:
SELECT FILE WITH I-desc LIKE ...LLOYD~S...
This is not as fancy as you would likely need, but it shows the concept of
something that should work.
I have also had situations where I needed to determine a non-standard
delimiter. To do this, I would build a string of potential characters like:
DELIMITERS = [EMAIL PROTECTED]*()_+{}[]\|:;?
I would then loop through each of the characters in DELIMITER attempting to
find a character that was NOT found in the target string. Once I find one,
that character is stored in some fashion and used to encrypt/decrypt as needed.
Hopefully, between these two ideas you can get pointed in a useful direction.

[U2] RE: Invalid Lock Sequence Write Errors
We are also running Epicor's Avanti. I looked at my program vs. what you had written. I noticed 2 things, neither one of which should cause such a serious error, but it might point you in some direction. 1) we are running unaltered software, and the WRITE statement you mentioned is on a different line. Our WRITE is on line 112 while yours is on 115. 2) in our code, it is using a key of WHKEY. You wrote that you are using WH.KEY (note the extra period). If neither of these point you in a useful direction, I would take Wally's advice and call Epicor. I have asked another PICK programmer here with 20+ years of experience, and that error does not sound familiar to either of us. Let us know what the solution is.

Baker, In that case, I do not think there is exactly what you want (or not one I know of). I would write a simple subroutine to do this, and write it such that you can just plug it in where ever you need it, including (and maybe most importantly), into a Dict. Pass it several arguments (like the raw data, what the delimiter is (FM, VM, etc), and such) so that it can be reused anywhere.

John - me too, when I can. In this case I'm reading in a mv list of other record ID's. They are likely in order, but its imperative that they are, so the SORT is a precaution, since 'stuff' happens. -Baker -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Israel, John R.

When I need an array to be sorted, I always build it that way using the LOCATE command with the BY option.

Hey, I'm needing to SORT a dynamic array and apparently UniVerse doesn't have this Function. Other MV implementations have this, such as D3 - The sort() function sorts an attribute or value mark delimited str.exp in ascending order. [from ePick] There was also a user exit u1072 that did the same thing. Does anyone have a work around or fast path to same thing maybe I'm missing something but can't see this in UV docs. -Baker --- 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/ --- 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] Re: Going to U2 University 2008?
One of Janet Oswald's email ad broadcasts for U2U indicated that there would be pre-conference chargeable tutorials the day before each of the 4 editions of the conference. The list of tutorials and their charges are not yet on the web-site, but she tells me they should be there tomorrow. These tutorials have been worthwhile in years past. I'm holding off on registering for San Diego until I can see those. I think the regional conference idea is a good one. I attended the San Francisco one 2 prior pan-IBM ones, as well as others off and on dating back to Infocus/VMark days. Pluses: + Cheaper. + Shorter. 2 nights lodging only. + More targeted. (That 2006 Anaheim Information on Demand event for all IBM software users was ghastly. Sure, we got to see Gladys Knight and the Pips and got in free one night to part of Disneyland where the music blared that you couldn't network (the primary purpose for the social events), provided you could even find any fellow U2 users amid the AIX, Tivoli, DB2, etc. users, almost half of whom seemed to be IBM employees.) + If you attend the later venues, the presenters have honed their show a bit. + The audience seemed a bit more technical last year. I'm guessing the lower price shorter time span allowed companies to send technical people other than the mucky-mucks who see these conferences like junkets. + More content, less junket. Minuses: - You don't see some users from other parts of the world. I miss that. - Almost all sessions are presented by IBM staff, since not many independent presenters want to commit to 4 such events. I have always appreciated the presentations by users independent consultant groups, myself, so I miss that. - More content, less junket. (Some people will see that as a minus, anyway.) cds P.S. Pardon me if some of this has already been discussed. I've been unsubscribed for a month long vacation. -Original Message- From: Louie Bergsagel Ah, found the U2 University session abstracts: http://www-306.ibm.com/software/info/u2/university/index3.jsp --- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/
RE: [U2] Re: Going to U2 University 2008?
Unfortunately I'll be in the wrong part of the planet for all four sessions. I note that the fourth session (in England) clashes directly with Information on Demand 2008 (which is where I will be that particular week). --- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/
