I always thought that if you have a globally catalogued subroutine and use it like this: MY.SUB = '*MY.SUB' CALL @MY.SUB(parm1,parm2...) What happens under the hood, must be that the compiled subroutine is loaded into a variable, and that variable is either placed somewhere on the stack or another area, and the way a function works is the same way, just with another syntax.. ?? that would take the exact same amount of clock cycles to reach the subroutine as a call to a function would A function is also 'just' a loaded subroutine, so in effect the runtime does a longjump to the routine..

The fun you have with transactions is endless :-) Les -Original Message- From: Stevenson, Charles [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 22 June 2005 18:50 To: u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org Subject: RE: [U2] Best practice for Sequential IDs using TRANSACTION START COMMIT/RO... From: Les Hewkin What would you call a really big transaction? A transaction should encompass all updates that should happen (or be abandoned) as a group in order to insure logical data integrity at the application layer. Let me use an example, keeping the preceding statement in mind. (Please don't belabour the details. This is just to get the broad idea.) Suppose out in the real world, a car gets repaired. This is one chunk of work that the customer typically signs off on and pays as a whole. In a database application representing this bit of reality, at some point there is a work order that needs to be posted. Maybe - ~maybe~if you design it right - pieces of it can be posted as separate transactions in an attempt to keep transactions as small as possible, but to completely post the work order: - multiple parts each need to be moved from, inventory to car. - associated double entry journal entries need to happen to keep accountants happy. - some low-stock condition might trigger automatic re-order of some parts. (one could argue this is separate, but depending on how it is programmed this may end up nested in this Transaction) - some parts might be consignment and vendor info needs to be updated. - serial numbered parts might require special treatment. - mechanic's (plural?) hours need to be recorded in timekeeping system. - associated accounting journal entries. - Invoice needs to be created. - customer info updated. - maybe immediate payment: associated accounting updates. - Car history needs updating (let's say this is a regular customer we track his cars) - warranty or rebate info needs to be sent or queued for auto manufacturer. - more accounting journal entries? - Multiple user-defined cross-reference files (if/when native indexing not used) Under normal circumstances all that happens as one big lump (at least your business user hopes so. But one can imagine scenarios where part of the repair is in dispute, the customer agreed to part of the work, or is unhappy, etc. ) so normally a given repair is either Open or Closed. One might program it so that this post is one TRANSACTION, maybe with nested TRANSACTIONs within it. These would be really big transactions. There may be a lot of processing that happens between TRANSACTION START and COMMIT. Anywhere along the line some abnormality might cause a TRANSACTION ABORT. All of these would have to happen as a unit, or be rejected as a unit in order for the DB (at an application level) to remain self-consistent. If one were smart, one could invent stand-alone partial posts where one transaction involved one part or one labour entry, etc.. But even in those cases, each transaction would have to update part, or labor info, the repair record, and accompanying accounting journal entries all as one unit to maintain application integrity. These would still be big if not really big transactions. In either case, each transaction would involve multiple updates to files. More than one file /or record may involve sequential ids. Going into the transaction one might not know all that will be needed. Pessimistic and optimistic locking methods changes what one knows as a transaction begins. If you place a readu lock as soon as you read the record, then do the processing and decision making within the transaction, the transaction takes longer and locks remain set longer. If you do the processing first, then you know the updates required before you TRANSACTION START and re-read, placing readu locks, and compare what you expected with what you got. Almost all applications have one central document (like the repair order above) that everything revolves around. It usually defines the relationships to most of the other major entities in the db. There are usually updates that involve that central document and the entities connected to it. Those updates usually have to happen as a group, one logical transaction, for the sake of application data integrity. This is the sort of thing I was thinking about when I posed the question of how to control sequential ids, releasing that control ASAP within big transactions. --- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/ This

RE: [U2] Best practice for Sequential IDs using TRANSACTION START COMMIT/RO...
In my opinion... NO : Retrofitting TRANSACTIONs into existing programs would be a nightmare. YES: Definitely use them when writing a new application from scratch and even a new sub-system enhancement if it is pretty much self-contained with limited, well-defined interfaces that write into the parent system. NO : I would caution against writing them into new programs that are enhancements to existing (sub-)systems. cds From: Les Hewkin we had a batch process that processed lots of data and I mean lots, but it didn't have any transaction boundaries.

But I need this to work when called [indirectly] from UOJ also, and historically I've seen 'Error 30102' if I attempt to pass file handles around in any code called from UOJ. Advice on how to improve this would be gratefully accepted [see code in Wiki link above]. While the first one isn't TOO bad... there's a companion function that finds all of the children of a particular node, and it calls the first function to look back up the tree for any child that has multiple parents.

RE: [U2] Custom Functions
Wendy; I tend not to use a FUNCTION unless I really need it for the syntax. It helps me to remember that even when calling a function you can change any of the passed variables - not just the return variable (just like a subroutine). For some reason I didn't think a function could do that, I'm not sure if I saw that in the documentation or was just the way I thought it should work. In any case, I don't know how to give it a default file to use. If you call it from UniQuery you have the @ID and @RECORD variables to use but nothing really for a file. What I did - that made a HUGE difference - was to put the filevar into named common. Since the program could be called from multiple accounts I also put the path into common as well. E.g.: SUBROUTINE TESTSUB(RET_DATA, FILENAME, ID, FIELDNUM) COMMON /TESTSUB/ PATH, FILEVAR RET_DATA = '' IF UNASSIGNED(PATH) THEN PATH = 'Some path that will not exist on any system' IF PATH # @PATH THEN OPEN FILENAME TO FILEVAR THEN PATH = @PATH END ELSE RETURN END END READV RET_DATA FROM FILEVAR, ID, FIELDNUM ELSE RET_DATA = '' RETURN This will help if you call it from UniQuery or multiple times from another subroutine; I'm not sure how well it will work if you called it multiple times from UniObjects.

RE: [U2] Custom Functions
I think it's a universe/unidata difference. I get the segmentation fault
running unidata in ecl type U as well.
Here's some interesting info and an ugly hack--in unidata.
Apparently, the keywords SUBROUTINE and FUNCTION are interchangable as
far as BASIC is concerned, so create a subroutine
SUBROUTINE MYHACK(A,B)
A=B*2 ;* note that we both assign the result
to a parameter AND return the result
RETURN A
Then you can call it as a function with
PROGRAM HACKTEST
DEFFUN MYHACK(A,B)
CRT MYHACK('',2);* --- there's the hack. You need that
placeholder parameter
Or use it as a subroutine:
PROGRAM HACK2
CALL MYHACK(A,2)
CRT A
Or from a virtual attribute:
I
SUBR('MYHACK',EXTRACT(@RECORD,1,0,0))

Here is a sample:
MYFUNC looks like:
001 FUNCTION MYFUNC(ARG)
002 RETURN (ARG=Y)
003 END
MYFUNC is globally cataloged
DICT FILE TEST looks like:
001 V
002 SUBR(MYFUNC,Y)
003
004
005 1R
006 S
when I LIST FILE TEST, I get a Segmentation fault(coredump)
and it dumps me into Unix.

Try using the SUBR() function, as I mentioned in another post.

RE: [U2] Custom Functions
Interesting. But you NEED that extra parameter? I tried DEFFUNing a
SUBROUTINE that has only 1 parameters and could not get it to work.
If your FUNCTION sets any of the parameters, you can CALL It from UniBasic
-- and you don't have to DEFFUN it.

I think it's a universe/unidata difference. I get the segmentation fault
running unidata in ecl type U as well.
Here's some interesting info and an ugly hack--in unidata.
Apparently, the keywords SUBROUTINE and FUNCTION are interchangable as
far as BASIC is concerned, so create a subroutine
SUBROUTINE MYHACK(A,B)
A=B*2 ;* note that we both assign the result
to a parameter AND return the result
RETURN A
Then you can call it as a function with
PROGRAM HACKTEST
DEFFUN MYHACK(A,B)
CRT MYHACK('',2);* --- there's the hack. You need that
placeholder parameter
Or use it as a subroutine:
PROGRAM HACK2
CALL MYHACK(A,2)
CRT A
Or from a virtual attribute:
I
SUBR('MYHACK',EXTRACT(@RECORD,1,0,0))

I've never seen this asterisk thing on the front of a
cataloged program. I've never had to do that in UniData. I
can call a SUBROUTINE fine from a Virtual attribute no
problem - and not asterisk. Could it have something to do
with the fact that we run BASICTYPE 'p' and ECLTYPE 'p'?

so you should be using : SUBR(*MYFUNC,Y)

As others have mentioned, its a difference between UniData and UniVerse. On
UniData you *CAN* use an asterisk before a SUBROUTINE name to identify it as
globally cataloged, but there is no need to and no benefit gained from doing
it.

That's quite interesting Ed. Does it behave the same if you code MYHACK as
'FUNCTION MYHACK(A,B)'?

RE: [U2] Best practice for Sequential IDs using TRANSACTION START COMMIT/RO...
That could have been simply overcome by locking the file instead of individual records. I have done very large transaction boundaries for a specific type of system and they worked very well. Saves a lot of leg work and programming to manually create a recovery process for a major batch updated. Regards David Jordan Someone was asked to add them. So what did they do? yes you got it. At the start of the routine they started a transactions and at the end of the routine they ended the transactions. Guess what? the lock table filled up and the whole thing fell over. The fun you have with transactions is endless :-) Les --- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/
[U2] Connection Refused downloading PE
After answering all those questions, I finally made it to the place where I could download UD 6.1 PE and the download applet reports http://service2.boulder.ibm.com:7618 Connection Refused . The 'clients' .zip file is downloading over HTTP with no problems, but it looks like it's coming from a different place. I'll try again tomorrow, meanwhile I figured I'd at least mention it in the hopes that someone from IBM might be able to check on it.
