It'd also vote for FIBCDFN but ... I'm not certain it flushes the global catalog space; I believe it only flushes the local catalog memory, does it not? The HELP NEWPCODE states: The NEWPCODE command is effective only in the udt session from which it is executed. However, the help message

Write a quick JSP page that returns the amount of server memory available and monitor this when the system starts to dog; sounds like maybe the Java garbage collector might need to be run more frequently. On Mon, Mar 17, 2008 at 5:58 AM, Charles Barouch [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: All, I've

I would highly discourage the use of Optio. While it is a defacto standard with some vendors, it's expensive, it provides little to no debugging to help diagnose problems when it crashes a print queue - and yes, it does crash print queues if anything unexpected happens in the print job - and the

Bill, I followed you until this: * Upper case is an anachronism and should be treated as such rather than defended. It is unwieldy for far too many and, in fact, interferes with efficient typing at every turn. Forcing people to use [Caps Lock] in U2 while all other used applications require

I understand your point Brian. So what do we do with the situation where upper case is actually more readable to me and yet less readable to you? How do we rationalize such a dichotomy? -K --- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit

I am admittedly a dinosaur of the upper-case bent with U2. Before I put on my flame suit, hear me out.. We developers type thousands - possibly even millions - of characters of code per year To press the letter R with caps lock on or off is only one keypress - keeping in mind the state of the

I have to weigh in on this in support of everything stated so far. John is right, the first estimate is the one that sticks so that estimate has to factor in what is known about the problem, solution, and path at the time the estimate is requested, which is often before any real discovery has

A named common is visible from a session. If Bob is logged in on session 1 and Jane on session 2, Jane has no visibility to Bob's named common or vice versa. Certainly when someone logs in you could put your GUID in a named common and it'll be there until that person logs off. You'll still have
