RE: [U2] OPEN fname ... ELSE STOP 3000, fname
We did it on a library system for having multiple language support, that way the user login loaded the ERRMSG file and all errors were in the local taal (language) Since the legacy app is used even today, on both D3 and UV, it still works off an ERRMSG file, only the access method now is via a special subroutine to log the error and abort gracefully.. Speaking of that, the original URICA library system, used extensively in the UK and a couple in SA, was written in PROC... And used this ERRMSG idea in it too -Original Message- On Jul 31, 2008, at 12:20 PM, Stevenson, Charles wrote: I've got old, old code riddled with STOP 3000, filename.

Re: [U2] UniData PROC tip: DB command
I first ran into Execute on an Ultimate. If I recall correctly, it may have been 1983? I agree that Proc is dead and should be retired/replaced. But since it's still there, it can't fully disappear. I have been often labeled a PROCtologist by accidentally becoming very good with Procs back in the day. Unfortunately there is no clear simple replacement and/or 'replacement over time' that occurs when replacing F corelatives with A's or retiring Batch processes.

[U2] Help diagnosing mysterious database hangs (UV 10.1.25, HP-UX 11.11)
We are experiencing periodic hangs (up to 5 minutes in duration) accessing the UV database. These hangs are manifesting when accessing the database through JDBC, sometimes when calling a stored procedure, sometimes when running queries directly through JDBC. The problem has appeared in two different, unrelated sub-systems (no common tables are accessed by both). Of course, we first suspected locking issues, but we have not been able to find any evidence that this is the case. In most cases, only one process seems to be accessing the table(s) in question at the time of the problem. Any ideas on how to go about diagnosing this? Or thoughts as to what might be the problem? It would be awfully nice to have a log of all of the queries being executed and how long they took, such as you can easily get from other databases, like mysql, or PostGresql. -- Geoffrey Mitchell Programmer/Analyst Home Decorator's Collection 314-684-1062 --- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/

Re: [U2] UniData PROC tip: DB command
Hi, The man (person) who writes a PROC interpreter/conversion utility that can take a PROC and turn it into either Basic, or a PAragraph, will have a product to sell... esp. if it can decipher all the PROC nuances and tricks that have been introduced over the years. Back in the days when I was working on the development of PI/open, I had a go at this. It is not difficult to produce Basic code that does the same job as the Proc but producing good code rather than a simple step by step interpretation of the Proc is difficult. Also, there are some strange interactions between Procs and the underlying command environment that are different from how Basic programs work so you can never get a true replacement. Same goes for a tool to convert A correlatives to I-descriptors. This is relatively easy. If you think there is a market, we might even do it. We looked at this as part of the migration process for users moving to OpenQM but we chose to implement correlatives instead as it was easy. Ours are compiled (like an I-type) rather than interpretive for best performance so actually the task of writing the convertor is probably little more than ripping apart our existing correlative compiler. But pity the wretch that is assigned the task of writing the tool to convert F correlatives. This is probably easier than A correlatives. Again, if there is a real market that would pay a sensible price for it, we might do it.

RE: [U2] Help diagnosing mysterious database hangs (UV 10.1.25, HP-UX 11.11)
We recently had an issue on a Window 2003 server that would seem to hang just on one secession, but not always the same secession. It was not on any specific program, file, subsystem, just completely random. What we, think, we found is that it had recently been added to an additional domain and it seemed that the excess time was being taken by authenticating over the internet to that new domain. When we took it off of that domain the hangs stopped. Our hangs were more like 15,30, 60 second hangs, not minutes that I am aware of.
