RE: [U2] [UV] How does UV authenticate to Windows
U2 does not have a separate Login process. One of the great advantages of UniVerse is that it took advantage of the facilities of the operating system in relation to file systems, security, etc. It rarely in the past rolled its own. The biggest issue was telnet server on windows which was not available at the time. Whilst I do not know the internal processes that you would have get from IBM, my impression is that UniVerse uses the windows authentication. For a user to be logged into universe, they have to have a login account created for windows and that is all. UniVerse could not run on Windows 98 as Vmark stated authentication and proper file systems did not exist for them to run the database on. If you want to restrict file access you apply security restrictions through windows, you do not use any IBM utility. If you apply SQL security in universe, then you can find you don't have SQL access to UniVerse when they change domain names. Whilst SQL security is in an additional layer in windows it does not overwrite windows security.

snip (Why else is COUNT(VAR,@FM)+(VAR NE ) syntax so popular?) \snip Because there is a real difference between COUNT and DCOUNT.

RE: [U2] THE variable names
I'm just wondering who comes up with this stuff. Those who use the language to it's most interpretable form. I have seen general BASIC programming instructors focus on the use of non-cryptic, non-abbreviated variables, instead of compact code. Afterall, the pcode generated is the same for THE.CUSTOMER.CITY as it is for CCITY or CUST_CITY. Which can you comprehend the quickest at a glance? You can also parse your own code, if you have a delimited variable structure that is consistent throughout the entire project. All good things, unless you're main focus is keeping the code short and cryptic. I have to agree, though, that THE is not really a useful variable keyword. It does help with programmatic variable identification, though. To each his own. Also, was there ever any lack of faith in the READ statement when assigning the variable REC. I'm now seeing some of this: REC= ; READ REC FROM FILE, ID ELSE REC= I use the else null clause religiously under D3. I have seen numerous accounts of read failures not resetting the target variable. The program chugs along happily with data from a previous read and it eventually blows up for a seemingly unknown reason. The extra null assignment is overkill, unless it exists once at the start of the program to prevent variable not assigned run-time notices.

RE: [U2] OT: AVG
I'll AMEN on all three programs. They are absolute essentials. We started using AVG several years ago when it dramatically demonstrated it's efficiency. I can't remember now if it was the Melissa virus or the LoveBug, but when it first appeared, all the major anti-virus vendors were scrambling to find a way to block it, and their users were getting infected right and left. AVG just quietly stopped it and went on about its business. The updates are automatic and painless. The personal edition is free and the commercial version is very inexpensive. As for AdAware and Spybot SD, you do need them both. Some things will slip by one, different things will slip by the other, but between then you probably have 99.5% coverage.

RE: [U2] LOCK Query
The LOCK command has no predefined meaning. It is totally up to you, as the programmer, to assign meaning to each of the 64 lock numbers. What I've done is use the menu option number to help identify which program placed the lock. Since we only use LOCK for our phantom programs, the value associated to the lock number is always 0 but I think for standard use, the user id is there. You can see which lock numbers are set by using the LIST.LOCKS command from the command line. If you want to programmatically find out who has a lock then in the ELSE logic of the LOCK command you'll need to EXECUTE LIST.LOCKS CAPTURING LOCK.LIST. Then parse out the data in LOCK.LIST to find the current user id for your lock number.

RE: [U2] [UV] How does UV authenticate to Windows
Probably the most honest answer to that is that UniVerse does not do any authentication at all. It relies solely upon the operating system authentication, and honours operating system file permissions. Further security can be built into applications. A finer granularity of security is possible using UniVerse/SQL GRANT, but so few sites choose to take this route. - Original Message - From: Richard Wilson [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org Subject: RE: [U2] [UV] How does UV authenticate to Windows Date: Tue, 12 Jul 2005 10:15:23 +1000 We are being audited for SOX and they asked the question about how Universe authenticates.

Re: [U2] LOCK Query
The LOCK command isn't really a transaction lock. It's intended more as a task synchronization lock, though you could use it to control transaction single-threading. The LIST.LOCKS command shows the current owner. In a program, if the ELSE clause of the LOCK statement is taken, then STATUS() returns the UniVerse user number of the holder. Note that these locks are cleared in BASIC using UNLOCK but from the command line using CLEAR.LOCKS. They can also be cleared by the Administrator's MASTER LOCKS command. The number of such locks is controlled by the PSEMNUM configuration parameter in the uvconfig file. --- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/

It's unfamiliar to more oldtimers For a number of systems, it's faster if you're just pulling off fields or values.* Also it's the same form if the list is @FM, @VM, @SM or @TM separated, so there's no need to do one ore more RAISE()s. And for folks that started with uv or udt, instead of one of the more Pick-like flavors, using SELECT on a non-file variable is very unfamiliar and counter intuitive.
