RE: [U2] [UV] HP, Cron, Como, Execute, Capturing . Not
Have you changed the code yet to avoid problem? You haven't mentioned
version of UV -- if not current, check later GTARs to see if issue
identified/resolved.
Get the customer going with a redirection/read ... obviously (?) new
code, but an
ls -l /tmp/unique_filename
will work across ANY *nix platform -- assume cron is running as same
user/permissions as when you fire from TCL

Thanks for responses so far.
Scott - this code is also doing 'ls', and the output gets
captured in COMO as you have seen, but it doesn't continue into
the Capturing var. At least we can confirm COMO is supposed to
see the output (for better or worse) but not at the expense of
BASIC not seeing it.
I'm wondering if this is an OS-specific issue where UV/HP is
capturing in COMO but not in Capturing, or maybe this is only
occurring when run through Cron. They could be doing something
like this too:
echo PHANTOM RUNREPORT | uv
...with the phantom being the platform-specific culprit.
I'll get the details and report back, then maybe someone with the
same platform here can check this before we file a bug report.

I do this all the time on UV 10.1.4 on RH AS 3. I have
not seen a conflict with COMO and EXECUTE CAPTURING,
except that the COMO records the results of the
execute as well as the CAPTURING variable. E.g.
EXECUTE SH -c 'ls' CAPTURING DIR.LIST
Not only does DIR.LIST contain all the files in the
directory, but the COMO records them as well, making
for very verbose COMO files!
Note that I have not tried the combination of cron +
COMO + EXECUTE CAPTURING {+ PHANTOM?} so perhaps there
is something going on there, but I do use cron +
EXECUTE CAPTURING in many places without problems.

Re: [U2] [UV] HP, Cron, Como, Execute, Capturing . Not
If it's just to get the file names and not the other information like the group
owners, permission bits why not simply do a pointer to the directory then
select the directory ?
EI:
IF @USERNO 0 THEN
TMP.NAME = (65536 + @USERNO):.TMPTR
END ELSE TMP.NAME = @USERNO:.TMPTR
OPEN , VOC TO VOC ELSE STOP 201, VOC
TMPTR = F]/tmp/]D_PH
CONVERT ] TO @AM IN TMPTR
WRITE TMPTR ON VOC, TMPNAME
OPEN , TMPNAME TO F.TMPTR ELSE STOP 201, TMPNAME
FILELIST = '
SELECT F.TMPTR
LOOP WHILE READNEXT FILENAME
FILELIST-1 = FILENAME
REPEAT
You can get a lot of the other information on a file with the STAT command and
the FILEINFO function.

RE: [U2] [UV] HP, Cron, Como, Execute, Capturing . Not
Jacques - that's great info but the situation is more involved. Thanks anyway. Ross - I'm fairly confident this is one of those issues that never comes up in QA, only in the field. The cron line executes a script, the script executes: uv PNAME /outfile That's a Paragraph that looks like this: 001 PA 002 COMO ON FOO 003 RUN BP PROG 004 COMO OFF So it's a prog wrapped in COMO, in a paragraph, with stdout redirected, executed from uv, within a script, called from cron. (Sometimes I'm amazed any of this works.) I've asked the client to remove COMO for now, then if the problem persists to avoid redirection from the uv command. When the exact behaviour is determined, I've recommended that an issue report be filed with IBM through the client's DBMS provider. I've already suggested that if required, we can redirect the PROG OS queries back into OS files and then read from there, rather than attempting to Capture the output directly. However, the code doing this is our product activation subroutine (documented in my blog, search for activate key protect). For many reasons that code should not be writing anything to the host OS. I'll post a follow-up when we get something solid. Thanks again! T From: Ross Ferris Have you changed the code yet to avoid problem?

RE: [U2] [UV] HP, Cron, Como, Execute, Capturing . Not
Tony - It just occurred to me that cron is running uv as root and that when root starts uv, the LOGIN proc does not run except in the uv account. Try changing the user in cron to a normal uv user and I bet your problem will go away. Ken At 09:54 AM 2/24/2009, you wrote: Jacques - that's great info but the situation is more involved.

[U2] Script to Install a Printer on AIX that is Run from a BASIC Program
We would like to know if it is possible to write a script, that will run from a UniData BASIC program, which will install a printer in AIX given parameters passed to it from the BASIC program. Do you think it is possible to write such a script? Know anyone who has written such a script or who might know how to write such a script? tia, Dave Taylor Sysmark Information Systems, Inc.
