We use the databasic xml tools directly with reasonable success. The coding
is very easy, what you do need to understand is xml, including namespaces
character encoding etc. That's is where I have found many a u2 person has
fallen over and declared the xml functions too complex.

No - I thought we were talking about creating a **NEW** counter variable in
a large old program, call it xx1 do a search on xx1 no lines, then use it.

Hi all,
I asked the Rocket Software guys to have LOCAL variables... but nothing...
Someone from the UV development team once told me that the Basic compiler
has the concept of local variables for internal subroutines but it has not
been released. I don't know why. We did it for QM and it
There is a KEEP option in Universe that will keep the spooler file open no
matter what you do in BASIC, until the PRINTER OFF and PRINTER CLOSE.
So maybe try:
SETPTR 0,132,66,0,0,3,NFMT,NHEAD,BANNER UNIQUE,BRIEF,OPEN, KEEP
Althought looking at that command there, maybe thats what OPEN does...
Actually I think I worded that wrong. KEEP in Universe will keep the same
spooler file open until you do a PRINTER CLOSE, or SP CLOSE, if I remember
correctly... Its been a while.

I'll admit to my xml ignorance. However, as to not leave you hanging,
there were a few articles on IBM developer works about this stuff in
addition to the standard U2 manuals.

In my case, I always had to parse xml under
UniVerse has the compiler option -X (same as -XREF) that builds a cross
reference of all variables, includes, subroutine labels, etc. It identifies
the line(s) it is assigned a value, and the lines that reference it. The key
is the program id and is stored in a file with a .L suffix (so if
I wonder how much longer those IBM articles will exist... Are those 'moved'
to the Rocket DevZone?

I have a subroutine that is called from several web pages. In those cases,
subroutine can extract the needed info from the properties of the object that
was passed from the web site.
However, I also need to be able to run this from TCL with a simple driver
program. In this case, the object
You will not get Universe's XML tools to work on version 10.2. Must be

This is where I think languages like php get it right.
Their simple XML stuff makes it simple to parse even
the junk you may get from somewhere else.

I partly agree with you. But I should be able to process xml data in UniVerse

universe/unidata, I should just be able to do it one step. This is a

I just created a set of subroutines I copy and paste into anything that
uses reads or writes XML. Most interfaces don't handle much beyond
reading and extracting the element, value and attribute pairs anyway.
That is all very easy to achieve without an 'interface' beyond OPEN (or
OPENSEQ).

find them in UniBasic programs, it was good to see that we tackled
most of them years ago with XLr8Editor Outline panel. We have tried
to incorporate all of the suggestions we get or the ones we suggest
