Re: [U2] Questions about addRequestParameter
Bruce, i recently used callHttp to generate 'Customs Form' through the USPS. You are basically right in your understanding. It is very quick as long as you have a good connection .. we were getting forms back in PDF format (6 pages) in approx 2-4 seconds after submit. For your address you should be able to get response quicker. so .. rtn = createRequest(.) will return 0 if there was no error. This builds the handle that all the other requests use. Not sure what you want to 'see' with the handle. give it a try .. think you will like the results.

RE: [U2] Questions about addRequestParameter
Bruce, Am I right in thinking that you are consuming a web service here? You say the response is in XML. If so, check out whether your version of UniData supports the newer SOAP calling (SOAPCreateRequest etc) routines (I only have UniVerse here so I can't check). These might be more simple/appropriate to use. If you are accessing a web service, callHTTP is for HTTP requests, similar to an HTML form post. It does not send XML. If you are not, ignore the rest of this! I had some problems with encoding when I tried to use callHTTP with some services and in the end found it easier to just roll a very simple socket based routine to send and strip out the required data from the SOAP packets (this was before callSOAP was added). I wrote a short article on how to do this for the U2UG with a simple example: if you like I can dig it out and send it you off-list.

[U2] Unidata SELECT
Hi All, We have a program that used to work but is now not functioning. The problems is if you have an active select list and you try to run the following statements GET.LIST CL.BCS.MAYBE this has 139 records SELECT STUDENTS WITH X.STU.BCS.REG.FLAG LIKE 'N...' This statement will return either No results or only 1 result But if you change the SELECT to a LIST then 3 lines will be returned. Also if you change the SELECT to an SSELECT then 3 lines will be returned. What it looks like is happening is another select statement is clearing out the orginal select statement and only returning the results of the last record in the orginal 139 records. X.STU.BCS.REG.FLAG is a I desriptor in STUDENTS that calls the following subroutine XS.CALC.ACTIVE.BCS.TO.REG and this subroutine calls another SUBROUTINE XS.CALC.REG.TERM. Anybody have any ideas? Any UDT.OPTIONS I should work with? Thank you in advance. Cheers Fawaz __ Yahoo! Mail Mobile Take Yahoo! Mail with you!

RE: [U2] I'm in an Array quandry, any suggestions...
Larry, Well, if you have to work in dimensioned arrays that would be the way to do it. Unfortunately, the code base I am working off of took this idea and completely messed it up. It is to the point that the dictionaries can not be trusted to truly represent the data. We are spending a great deal of time just dealing with this. As to the original topic, I will still stand by my earlier remarks, but I will qualify it by saying that performance (in ANY system) has a lot to do with how the system is designed in the first place. The code base that I came from previously was also of late 80s vintage and we did not see any benefit in moving to dimensioned arrays. I think that the difference is that we had records of a fairly manageable field count, but we used lots of value and even sub-value marked data. Dimensioned arrays don't really help you too much with that. We also sold systems based on the flexibility of the database and dimensioned arrays, even with tools like you describe, does lessen that flexibility (IMHO) Rich Taylor | Senior Programmer/Analyst| VERTIS 250 W.

Richard Taylor wrote: Certainly not enough to justify throwing away one of the best features of the Pick database, or having to code work-arounds to deal with the short-comings of dimensioned arrays. I'm maintaining a system that was originally developed on Prime Information in the mid-80's, when performance between dimensioned and dynamic arrays WAS an issue. It uses dimensioned arrays and matread/matwrite, but the way it was designed, none of the short-comings you mention are really an issue. Every file in the system has an abbreviated name. For example, the abbreviation for the customer master file (CUST.MST) is CM. There is a utility program that selects every 'D' item from the dictionary, and builds an $INCLUDE file for all or selected files, named DIM.(filename) (eg DIM.CUST.MST). This DIM.xx file is included in every program that needs to access the customer master file, and includes the following statements: DIM D.CM(X) ; MAT D.CM = '';* Where X = number of fields in the file EQU CM.CUST.NAME TO D.CM(1) ... And so forth for every field in the file NOWHERE in any of the code is the customer name referenced as D.CM(1) or CM1 or anything similar. It is ALWAYS referenced as CM.CUST.NAME. Sub-valued fields are refenced as CM.ADDR1,x, for example. As new fields are added to the file, the inserts are re-created. Because extra fields are stored as a dynamic array in D.CM(0), programs that don't use the new fields don't need to be recompiled. Yes, I realize that the same thing can be accomplished with dynamic arrays (ie EQU CM.CUST.NAME TO CM1), but as I mentioned in the beginning of this post, this software was originally written back when there WAS a performance difference between using dimensioned vs dynamic arrays ... At least that's what the conventional wisdom told us at the time.

In a message dated 5/16/2005 5:00:45 AM Pacific Daylight Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Yes. But it only works when stepping through an array in a READNEXT fashion. So if you're accessing fields in random order (as a lot of my code does) you gain nothing. No it does work even when you access the dynamic array in random order. It then provides an alternative starting point for the search to use instead of character 1. I'm not sure this is accurate. This would imply that not only would the run-time engine have to maintain a pointer to the last cell referenced, but also it would have to maintain a register telling it the cell number of this cell (not just its offset). So it needs two variables. I've never heard that it actually uses two variables to accomplish this. Perhaps someone in the internals could answer that question. So again, it would need one variable to tell it the offset (example: my last reference ended at character 96 of the string ... or position 2345 of the frame, or something of that sort); AND another variable to tell it the cell number (example: my last reference was to cell number 4). Otherwise, random access into a dynamic array would not be improved by the method talked about in this thread.

Ken, Thanks for the suggestion, but that would require changing programs that we had no intention of changing. Further making such changes is much larger than can fit within the scope of the current enhancement project.

REC(0) references a dimensioned array and, apparently, in UV holds all fields that could not fit into the dimension of the array. UniData does not work this way, it puts it into the last dimension of the array which could result in data loss if you change that array position. We have confirmed this on our system as we are faced with the same problem. -- Here is a question to the group. Is this a behaviour in UD that can be changed in a configuration setting? Again, as with UV, UD is emulation dependant on this. Basictype 'u' and 'm' use element (0,0) IIRC, while 'p' and 'r' put the data at the end, or simply truncate it - I can't remember. If for some reason you need to operate your account with BASICTYPE 'p', then you can always drop a 'BASICTYPE u' statement into the top of a program you want to behave sensibly.

Thanks Gyle for that information.
So it seems like then it might be just as fast to also step *backward*
through an array ? I suppose that would depend on whether there is also an
opcode
for scan backward to delimited like there is for scan forward to delimiter.
And then I would wonder if the code is optimized to actually try to determine
whether it would be faster to scan backward from present, or forward from
cell 1 ...
And then by that time, system programmers would be saying Why can't they
just all use dimensioned arrays dammit :) I suppose.

Brian, John received your reply and that is when I saw it, after seeing his reply. (I think hotmail is hiding some things from me!) I would like to see what you said about callSOAP Thanks, R.

You say the response is in XML. If so, check out whether your version of UniData supports the newer SOAP calling (SOAPCreateRequest etc) routines (I only have UniVerse here so I can't check). These might be more simple/appropriate to use. If you are accessing a web service, callHTTP is for HTTP requests, similar to an HTML form post. It does not send XML. If you are not, ignore the rest of this! I had some problems with encoding when I tried to use callHTTP with some services and in the end found it easier to just roll a very simple socket based routine to send and strip out the required data from the SOAP packets (this was before callSOAP was added). I wrote a short article on how to do this for the U2UG with a simple example: if you like I can dig it out and send it you off-list.
