David,
UniData has a FOR or WAITING clause on the INPUT statement which lets you do
exactly this. I'm not sure what the UniVerse equivalent would be.
Certainly you wouldn't normally want to be in a tight loop looking for input
with INPUT,-1 or INPUTIF, or blocked by a SLEEP when input was
Does UV support the WAITING clause on the INPUT statement?
In UD you can do:
INPUT VAR WAITING 30 ELSE
...

Hi, the simple answer is no..but there is a way...on UNIX.
You can open the device using OPENSEQ and read the input using READBLK,
this allows you to use the TIMEOUT command.
We have a very clever man that did this and it works without killing the
machine.

try the following:
FUNCTION TimedInput(Period, Value)
$OPTIONS PICK
Now = Time()
Loop
Input n,-1
Until n Or ((Time() - Now) Period) Do
Nap 50
Repeat
If Not(n) Then
Result = @False
End Else
Input Value
Result = @True
End
RETURN(Result)
as in:
PROGRAM TestInput
$OPTIONS PICK
We use the waiting or...
Sample code:
147:WAIT.TIME = 0

Now for some follow up questions.
In Universe, a basic example of my subroutine would look likeb

To answer your question about creating WSDL, etc, have a look at

The example uses mv.NET for connectivity but you can easily
substitute UO.NET or any other connectivity pipe. Just

I've run into that before - it's probably network latency. If there's
nothing in your keyboard buffer, your routine will bail. If a
multi-character keystroke gets broken between packets, that can happen.
Experiment with a delay before the INPUT TEST,-1 to allow the

George,
Email me tomorrow at charlien at inlandtruck.com and remind me and I'll
share some code with you that worked extremely well on Universe, and now on
Jbase - it's almost identical. I almost never get those straggling
characters anymore.

Here's my hastily hacked together solution, it allows 5 seconds for the
user to enter a string. It grabs a single character at a time and builds
up a string - you need to cater for special characters manually, I've
coded for enter and backspace, you could just discard any others that

Glad the stuff on our site helps!
You saw in the video how easy it is to create a web service from
Visual Studio. The beauty of it is that you never need to see
the WSDL. Many of our colleagues spend time manually
