RE: [OT] Complete Browser Window Image Capture?
Even better is a program called GIMP (GNU Image Manipulation Program) that's open source and free. I've used it on Linux, but it's also got binaries for running on Windows as well. It's almost as full featured as Photo Shop.

BETWEEN in a CASE structure
Before I just go off and do this, I thought I'd throw the question out there... In a CASE construct in UniBasic, can you use the BETWEEN keyword to test against a range. For example, I've got a large number of values I'm testing for and several of them are contiguous. Would something like CASE val BETWEEN 6000 6009 be correct or would I need to do something like Case (val = 6000 AND val = 6009) be what I need. Thanks. -- u2-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.oliver.com/mailman/listinfo/u2-users
Subroutine string manipulation not doing what expected
Given the following snippet of code: FOR PLC = 1 TO PART.LIST.COUNT SEARCH.VALUE = DESC.LISTPLC RETURN.VALUE := SEARCH.VALUE : @VM NEXT PLC ROLLSTOCK=RETURN.VALUE I get the following output: P337 P RPVC 0200x20.00 TNT201 P BOX 19:08 15:08 13:08 BX PLAC 20:08 15:08 11:14 However, a simple change to the code to only add a few digits of DESC.LISTPLC like so: FOR PLC = 1 TO PART.LIST.COUNT SEARCH.VALUE = DESC.LISTPLC IF SEARCH.VALUE[1,1]='*' THEN SEARCH.VALUE = SEARCH.VALUE[4,4] END ELSE SEARCH.VALUE = SEARCH.VALUE[3,4] END RETURN.VALUE := SEARCH.VALUE : @VM NEXT PLC ROLLSTOCK=RETURN.VALUE I get the following outupt...not what I was expecting: 37 P My intention is to grab 4 characters out of DESC.LISTPLC, starting at character 4 if the string starts with an asterix or 3 if it doesn't. Can anyone see what I'm doing wrong here? Thanks. -- u2-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.oliver.com/mailman/listinfo/u2-users
RE: Looking for associated multi-value algorithm...
Just to address a couple of your comments... The reason I use SPECIAL so much is the file I'm reading this information from is SPECIAL.PRICE. The fields I'm referencing are from something similar to a sales quote. I'd expect the quantity numbers to rarely match. The fields I'm referencing are Part Number, From Qty and Sales Price. So there could be 5 iterations of part number 12345 with From Qtys of 0, 1000, 2000, 4000 and 1 and Prices of 0.35200, 0.34200, 0.33200, 0.31200 and 0.29200. From experience, I know that I can't count on each of these triads being in any particular order, except for the fact that each mv will be in the same order as the other 2 for any given record.

Perhaps the most glaring problem here is the level of the LOCATE. Since SPECIAL.PARTS is a value and thus possibly multi-valued, the ,STARTPOS indicator suggests to the LOCATE to look at the first subvalue of the value'd. Somehow, especially since STARTPOS isn't previously defined, it become zero and 1,0 is the same as 1 which may accidentally satisfiy the LOCATE. Remove the commaSTARTPOS from the in the LOCATE and the STARTPOS=SPECIAL+1 as they don't contribute anything. Also, this looks like a FIFO/LIFO algorithm. What are the failures if the qtys don't match. The LOCATE should eliminate the FOR...NEXT loop unless you have the PART.NBR in the 12 more than once. In any case, the FOR...NEXT is is useless. If the PART.NBR is in 12 more than once, use FOR...NEXT and do a simple equals test on 12. I don't believe that LOCATE can find occurrences of PART.NBR after the first one it finds. At least using numbers inside the . Perhaps LOCATE X in Y1,STARTPOS on the outside. I don't use it. FInally, if it's any contribution (and it's my purely non-technical opinion). Remove all the extraneous uses of the prefix SPECIAL. That makes it hard to read as all the variables start with SPECIAL and it's hard to identify their purpose quickly.

RE: Looking for associated multi-value algorithm...
There can, and usually are, multiple instances of the same part number. What makes a row unique is part number + from qty.

Well, the first thing I notice is that your for/next counter, SPECIALPART, isn't used anywhere... Using LOCATE will search for the PART.NBR in the whole SPECIAL.PARTS field, so the for/next isn't needed. Next, I notice that this assignment: SPECIAL.FROM.QTY=SPECIAL.REC14,SPECIAL is duplicated, once just before the IF and once just after the THEN. One of them can probably be dropped.

RE: How to accomplish this from UniObjects
That sounds doable. I was hoping to not have to modify the original sub, and this approach should do just that. I was just unsure as to whether I could do some kind of fake $INCLUDE on the client side via the UniObjects interface.

RE: When is developing with UniObjects the correct approach?
From my experience, I really haven't encountered a situation where I'd recomment not using UniObjects when accessing a U2 database from an outside application. I've heard people say you shouldn't use it directly from ASP because of threading issues, but I've successfully gotten around that by insulating the UniObjects objects within my own COM objects. ASP calls my COM object, my COM objects creates a UniObjects object, does what it needs, closes and releases the object, life is good. I've never even actually tried instantiating the UniObjects directly from ASP to know for sure it's a problem...just went with what others had told me. For straight data access where ODBC is fine, UniData's ODBC works fine. It's just a bit of a PITA to set up initially. I think the biggest benefit of using UniObjects is the ability to utilize existing subroutines in your U2 system. Even going forward, I find it easier to do a lot of my business rules in U2 subs and call those subs from UniObjects. Makes for a pretty elegant n-tiered development environment.

As much as I hate to defend Microsoft...and I do hate defending Microsoft...they have patents on their implementation of XML, not XML in general. This has no effect on XML.

That patent doesn't affect aluminum, nor does it affect the casting of aluminum dies except for protecting the methodology laid out in the patent.
