Re: [U2] OPEN Statement DICT Default
You mean sthg like:
FOR I=31 TO 365 STEP 28
PRINT (I,'DMAL')[1,3]
NEXT I
Tried 'DMBL' but the abbreviations were only two characters.
But printing the actual string is somewhat shorter ...

You did mean
OCONV(DATE(),"D2/")[1,2] for month, at least in the Western Hemisphere
and [4,2] for the Eastern, right? ;-)

RE: [U2] "extra" UDT.EXE's
Yes, I wondered about phantoms also -- so I have been manually monitoring the _ph_ directory over the past couple weeks, but no clues so far. Thanks for the other observations, they may help also.

Re: [U2] OPEN Statement DICT Default
The same programmer that doesn't read the manual does an
EXECUTE instead of a SELECTINDEX, and yes, the index already existed
or
A=STR('0',20-LEN(B)):B
instead of
A=FMT(B,'L%20') or for the Universe Pick/Ideal flavor people in the
crowd A= B'L%20'
or
TODAY=OCONV(DATE(),'D2/')
CONVERT '/' TO @VM IN TODAY
MONTH=TODAY<1,2>
instead of
MONTH=OCONV(DATE(),'DM')
And yes, I have observed all of the above recently.
;) Just 15 minutes a week to look through the current manuals to find
out about a new option that you might not know existed?

To All:
Was there ever a real requirement on any prior flavor to have the
typically
non-used DICT portion of the OPEN statement be the set of quotes and a

I accidentally forgot it in 1978 on a Microdata and it still compiled. To
this
day I have not seen a reason for the OPEN "","FILE" null dict indicator
and
have not used it since unless I actually want the DICT level.
Just wondering.

RE: [U2] "extra" UDT.EXE's
Thanks to Marc/Victor/Anthony for the responses. We do have one VB.NET app that uses UniObjects to access the DB -- that's about the only thing I haven't totally exhausted yet... I'll see if I can find anything odd occurring with those processes. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Victor St Clair Sent: Thursday, May 04, 2006 3:25 PM To: u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org Subject: RE: [U2] "extra" UDT.EXE's Hello Mark We had a situation recently that sounds similar to yours, but only on a development machine. Unfortunately it happened over the weekend and the system admin rebooted the box, to get rid of the extra udt.exe processes, before I could get in to examine the situation thoroughly. In our case there were only 4, but they were all grabbing all the cpu they could get, pegging it out at 100% all the time. We're on UniData 7.1 on W2K3. In our case, I believe the cause was terminated UniObjects connections. A UniObjects process was calling a UniBasic program via the uniCommand method. The UniBasic program had a debug statement in it, which caused the UniObjects app to hang. It had to be terminated. Don't know if you're using UniObjects, but maybe our experience will give you a hint you can use.

RE: [U2] Unit testing and UniObjects for Java
Wendy Sorry for the long answer, and some of this sounds like it may be too late, but you've hit a hobby horse of mine here ! It looks from your example (and apologies if I am misreading this) that you have business logic and file interaction inside your UO code. That really makes life hard. I ALWAYS teach clients to write all the business logic in server subroutines first for any client/server or web project - and for precisely this reason. Debugging any client/server program is difficult and time consuming, web/multiplexed programs even more so, tracking down where errors occur (especially if you have different teams for front and back end) is bad news and there is also the 'hey wow' factor of the front end obscuring development and testing of the business logic. So the route I always teach (and hopefully follow ) is: 1. Write all the database interaction as subroutines. 2. Where possible use a standard calling convention - I know this goes against the grain for some, but it is specifically to allow logging/debugging/testing using a simple harness: Call MySubroutine( Action, InData, OutData, ErrText ) Where InData, OutData are dynamic arrays, ErrText adds error text to a dynamic array of error messages, and Action allows the routine to vary e.g. new for a new version whilst retaining backward compatibility. 3. Then I recommend people QA the server before even THINKING about the front end: if it is well designed, the subroutine library effectively becomes an API for you application and can be reusable eg. From UO (or UOJ in your case), web applications such as mvScript (quick plug) or RedBack via interface subs, the new U2 web services etc. It is also comforting to be able to concentrate on the client whilst knowing that the logic behind it is secure. 4. Since the front end is the more likely to change, this route isolates the logic but a good test harness should allow for regression testing at the server. 5. Since I use a standard calling convention, I can use a single function to call the server. Which means I can use a single place to add logging/auditing etc and and I guess I could also write a dummy function to simulate this (though that is a step I haven't had to perform yet - I just use refreshable test account on virtual PC images) against another source. I would also recommend NOT doing opens, reads, executes, select list handling etc directly in UO - not because they do not work, but because your logic gets scattered. That was a lesson I learned early on in the days of VB and UO when I took on a project where the requirements changed almost weekly: it eventually became unmanageable and I wasn't proud of the result (though it delivered what they wanted :) ), but boy did it teach some lessons! Keeping all the business logic in one place is a high priority: we don't need mainstream 3 tier logic as we have the database run machine to provide the logic tier. Just keep everything there where it works, and everything will be fine: but as soon as you allow it to creep into the presentation layer, you will be storing up trouble.
