Re: [U2] PICK Assembler Language

Re: [U2] Printing an RTF file from Universe
Brian Parker [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote on Wed, 10 Nov 2004 11:24:46 -0500 I know that if I imbed HP PCL code into the print job for different fonts etc that these will print fine. However, for this particular job, a couple of logos are part of the document as well and we would like to be able to print them. It is possible to print logos directly from UniVerse/UniData using PCL coding - it's not very straightforward, however. I developed code here to print our corporate logo on all checks and invoices. We use UniData 5.2 on AIX 5.1, but I needed a PC to format the logo originally. Here's an outline of the procedure. On the PC, I saved the logo as a Monochrome Bitmap, since it's the easiest format to convert to raster data. I transferred that file to the AIX system and extracted the raster data. I converted the data to a UniData item that could be stored, and use a MATREAD to retrieve it. My BASIC code uses PCL Macros and Raster Graphics to output the logo. I then execute the macro as needed. This is very efficient on multiple document runs, like our checks and monthly statements, since the logo is sent to the printer once, and a six-character PCL command reprints it. There are a few glitches. Between the multi-value delimiters and some of the printer processing, I had to break the image up and send it in two passes. The first pass prints the left four bits of each byte, and the second pass prints the right four bits. This way I avoid sending values that are reinterpreted by the printer. I had to use macros for the same reason.

[U2] Quick question on Longnames
Hola all - Background: We're coming up to speed on a Universe 9.5 (on Irix 6.5 on a Challenge-L vintage 1994 or so, pity us) system that's been largely unmanaged for the last 4 years or so, so there's not a lot of institutional knowledge here. We're planning to migrate to RedHat AS3 and are working with the 10.1.4 release in testing. One of our programmers asked what the consequences of choosing longnames=on in the install are. My understanding from the administration manual is that it will only impact us should we decide to go back to a system that doesn't support longnames, which I can't foresee happening, but that transitioning up shouldn't be problematic even though we already have a couple of truncated/renamed filenames in the current production system. I assume they'll remain truncated unless explicitly renamed. Any thoughts about issues/gotchas we should be aware of in going from a longnames=no system to a longnames=yes one?

RE: [U2] broken up SELECTS
Adrian Matthews [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote on 11/11/2004 10:26:48 AM: It's something I've always done over the last twenty years. The select processor in theory should apply optimisiation but I always break my statements down to reduce the working record set and to increase readability. Makes very little difference on smaller amount of records but makes a huge difference when record counts get into the millions, especially on distributed files or selects which work on a mixture of non-indexed and indexed fields. Of course, like so many things in the MV world (and life in general) this is an it depends scenario. If you're selecting based on three fields that reside in the record, the additional overhead of comparing them will be negligible compared to making a second pass through. It also depends on whether one of the criteria would be expected to reduce the working set of records significantly. If so, a second pass may be worth it. If you can reduce the working set significantly by selecting on a resident field, and save a nasty translate for a small percentage of the entire file, a two-pass approach is almost a no-brainer. But if the resident field only pares out 10% of the records, you'll be passing through 90% of the file twice, and you have to determine whether the second pass is saving work or creating more. With a particularly nasty dictionary item, it may be worth it.

Re: [U2] PICK Assembler Language
With one exception, I agree with Charlie. Just because the hardware speeds allow us to write crap doesn't mean we should. There is, of course, a limit to cycle-tweaking. I am not going to spend my time looking for the fastest way to prepend a floating dollar sign, for example. If I have a case of a large number of transactions triggering secondary reads (code file lookup, for example), I will certain take a few minutes to 'ask the system' if a dynamic array cache with locate would be worthwhile. The exception I mention is done once in the development cycle. What was efficient at release x may not be efficient at release y.

Re: [U2] Quick question on Longnames
First, I think you would be hard pressed to find a modern system that does not support longnames. It is my understanding that the 14 character limit in Unix when out somewhere around System III (Any Unix historians in the house?). If anyone is aware of a current platform that still has this restriction, please let us know. Second, longnames=on has a couple of advantages: 1) It makes things much easier to work with at the Unix level, both scripting and manually; 2) It is slightly more efficient in that file opens can be done with one Unix open rather than multiple opens to get down the 'chucked' pathname.

RE: [U2] broken up SELECTS
One can also create an I-descriptor that returns a true/false (then SELECT ... WITH XYZ.FLAG ... ). Buried in the I-descriptor can be explicit control (via IF,AND,OR, parenthases) of whether or not you do certain expensive tests depending on results of cheaper tests. You can also apply parenthases to the SELECT statement itself. On Universe, use EXPLAIN keyword to see how RetrieVe will process the command. DLIST shows you how an I-descriptor compiles. Or use SQL for more versatility. SQL's OPTIMIZE / NO.OPTIMIZE can help you explicitly control how and sql select executes.

RE: [U2] Universe SHOW Command and Group Locks
Anthony, One thing you might want to look at is the PAKTIME tuneable. This holds the number of seconds the system will wait at a 'Press any key to continue' message before releasing a held group lock. It defaults to 300: you might want to reduce that. Another option might be to set an autologout for that user. AFAIR the group lock is set by the list processor scanning the group, so anything that takes the list out of this situation will help. For example, a paragraph to DIVERT.OUT the listing and then show the final results should bypass this issue.

[U2] [UV] controlling selects with unconverted data used for selection errors
Using universe 10.0.19... When a user provides an invalid date value for a select, universe prints out the error message bad data unconverted data used for selection but goes on and does the select. Is there a way to: 1. require that the retrieve command fail when this occurs by using a keyword similiar to REQUIRE.INDEX as in REQUIRE.NO.ERRORS ? or 2. be able to get a result code from the command via the 'RETURNING ERRORS' clause of an execute statement? Personally, I think the command should outright fail when this occurs rather than wasting the user's time and/or provding results that are not what was intended. Sample: SELECT SOLI WITH DATE 2/31/04 Bad data 2/31/04 for conversion D2-.

RE: [U2] OT: PCL6 Codes?
Solved, though not the way I wanted: The printer comes with an HTML interface which I've never seen. This printer is USB connected to an XP Pro station. http://127.0.0.1:5225/ToolboxManager/deviceRegistry is how you access it using IE on the localhost. (127.0.0.1 always = localhost, btw). The driver sucks off PCL codes and prints the default setting, which is now changed (in setup, PCL, and lock courier, 17.5 cpi). That makes some reports a bit too small, however, it will now work. Why do manufacturers make things so 'user-friendly' that they are no longer programmer-friendly? Too many experiences lately (ActionTEC gt701wg for DSL, as an example) with that sort of thing to be bothered anymore.

Re: [U2] Quick question on Longnames
You know, some days the brain just doesn't work very well. Since I probably caused confusion to some of the newer folks with my previous blathering, let me point out that I answered the question of longnames by talking about the Type1 vs Type19 issue. Smooth, real smooth. Longnames handles the mapping of UV filenames with length 14 chars into a Unix file name of only 14 characters (those 000 and 001 files). The VOC file record ID will have the full name with the truncated and numbered file names used in fields 2 and 3 of the F pointer. Even with longnames on, type 1 files still break down into subdirectories. My preferred usage: LONGNAMES ON Type1 files == evil Type19 files == good Sorry 'bout the flub. -- Regards, Clif ~~~ W.
