Re: [U2] [UD] correlative syntax

2013-03-01 Thread Charles Stevenson

Isn't there a T missing?

OCONV(@ID,G*1); OCONV(@,FILE;X;0;0); @#
   
   TFILE ?
should be:
OCONV(@ID,G*1); OCONV(@,TFILE;X;0;0); @#




another way is to do both correlatives in 1 oconv:

OCONV(@ID,(G*1:@VM:TFILE;X;0;0))#

OCONV(@ID,G*1); OCONV(@,FILE;X;0;0); @#


The file the DICT is in has a compound key: ACCOUNT.NUMBER*sequential.
What this item does is grab the account number, attempt to read from FILE
and return a 0 if the account doesn't exist in FILE or a 1 if it does.
Pretty nifty.

Re: [U2] UniData PE on Fedora 18

2013-03-01 Thread James Canale, Jr.
Thanks Bob.  Sorry for the late reply - it has been one of those weeks for
me :-(

I have already switched to CentOS and after a bit of messing around (need to
use legacy network drivers in Hyper-V) have it working.  The only reason I
had tried Fedora in the first place was because I read that UniData worked
on Fedora and RedHat.

Best regards,

Jim

I have UniVerse PE running just fine on Fedora 17 which uses version 4 of
libgdbm.so  Perhaps the newer library is perhaps backward compatible to
version 2 in which case a symlink may work.  

ln -s /lib/libgdbm.so.4 /usr/lib/libgdbm.so.2

Its worth a try anyway

To all that responded,

Thanks for the suggestions.  I'll give CentOS a shot (OpenSUSE 12.2 and
Fedora 18 didn't locate libgdbm.so.2).

Best,

Jim

Subject: [U2] UniData PE on Fedora 18

I'm trying to install the latest UniData 7.3 Personal Edition on Fedora 18
(32 bit) and am not able to find the proper download that seems to be
required.

The install fails at the point of running systest with 'error while loading
shared libraries: libgdbm.so.2: cannot open shared object file'.

 I tried to find libgdbm2 on rpmfind but I'm not sure which to use.  Tried a
few and they all seem to have additional dependencies.

 Any suggestions?

 I read that UniData on Fedora will work so that's what I tried, but, I also
have OpenSUSE and Ubuntu if either of those will be better.

 Thanks in advance.

 Best regards,

Jim

Re: [U2] UniData PE on Fedora 18

2013-03-01 Thread James Canale, Jr.
Thanks Tony. Sorry for the late reply - it has been one of those weeks for
me :-(

I did switch to CentOS and it was a bit of a struggle using it on Hyper-V (a
little research got me going).  I agree with you on stability and my plan is
to actually set this up to be a local only environment where it won't need
to be patched at all (can't access it except from the Hyper-V host).  At
this point, I'm just interested in keeping up with U2 since I've moved on to
other technologies (still love UniData, just not enough opportunity in my
area to work with it).

Best regards,

Jim

Subject: Re: [U2] UniData PE on Fedora 18

In the bigger picture, Fedora is a hobbyist system and changes very rapidly.
It's not meant to be used for production applications. You could get UV to
work on it this week and it will break with a core update next week, or with
some tiny dependency change or profile setting that's tough to trace. MV
databases aren't oriented toward agile/chaotic environments like that.
Serious developers should strive for stability in their own environment,
with an eye for deployment over end-user systems with equal stability. Sure,
I enjoy a challenge as much as the next geek, but at some point you need to
ask yourself if you're wasting time chasing drivers and patches and hacks
(like
symlinks) when you really want to be doing something more productive.

Get CentOS or RedHat. They're stable, well supported, and certified by the
DBMS providers.

patching a system is not only for security, there are bug fixes and 
improvements, so even thought its only accessible from the system that 
holds the VM, I would still recommend that you patch the system on a 
regular basic (this is the sys admin in me coming out )
