Re: [U2] UniData ICONV function
It didn't work for me with your conversion code but when I changed it to 'D' it worked just fine. Internal conversions don't need all the fancy output codes.

[U2] Spooler for Windows
What products are out there that mimic the Unix UniVerse spooler in a Windows environment? From what I can see on Windows, UniVerse uses the Windows printer subsystem and in my estimation that was a mistake. There's no retention of print jobs, no form type, no ability to use scripts, it is the biggest stumbling block for conversion from a 'nix environment. I would only like to look at packages that are built to work with UniVerse and are like the Unix spooler with all the bells and whistles. We have moved from Unix V5, to Solaris, to RH Linux, and our spooler scripts only needed minor changes long the way. Now we are trying to go to Windows and the only stumbling block the we have encountered is the spooler. We did so much with it.

Re: [U2] Spooler for Windows AD
Hi Jerry, AD We offer a generic Pick print spooler, SpoolerPlus, that runs on Universe (Windows 2003, XP/Pro, Windows 2000, RHEL and AIX), Unidata (Windows 2000, XP/Pro, AIX) and QM (XP/Pro) and I believe we can provide you with a Universe/Windows version of it. It includes an SP-ASSIGN command that simply creates the same SETPTR commands that you use today to print to a hold file. Your SETPTR commands may work with little or no modification. It provides a HOLD.FILE separate from the HOLD file to which all print jobs are written, from which all print jobs are printed and in which selected print jobs can be placed on hold subject to the parameters of the SETPTR command. As a Pick print spooler, it assigns print jobs to print queues and it assigns printers to print queues so that each print job is printed to the printer assigned to its queue, rather than directly to a printer. And, to support the syntax of the Reality print spooler, is supports named queues and named printers. Taking those two thoughts together, you can easily imagine creating named print queues with the same names as your Windows printers, assigning your print jobs to the queue named for the printer you wish to print to, assigning that printer to the queue of the same name and then printing to that printer, as you do in native Universe. This way you can print to the printer named in your SETPTR command. SpoolerPlus also includes the Pick version of the SP-EDIT command and the LISTPEQS command that lists the contents of the HOLD.FILE in various ways. The logic behind SP-EDIT and LISTPEQS provides many ways of manipulating print jobs in the HOLD.FILE and can be easily modified to function like the commands that you are used to using in Universe/.nix. In summary, I believe we can fashion a version of SpoolerPlus to function like the Universe spooler on .nix when installed on Universe on .doz. I will be glad to arrange a demo of SpoolerPlus with you and discuss your specific print command support requirements to determine what we need to do to provide you with a Universe print spooler on Windows. I have attached the Functional Specifications for SpoolerPlus for your review. Please contact me for further discussion.

Re: [U2] UniData ICONV function
The problem I'm having is people with different XP date settings (U.S. International) access one of the programs in our application. This program prints an amortization schedule. Our code parses the day, month, and year via... DUEMO = OCONV(BEGDATE , 'DM') DUEDAY = OCONV(BEGDATE , 'DD') DUEYR = OCONV(BEGDATE , 'DY') ...then the information is converted to an internal PICK date via... DUEDATE = ICONV(DUEMO:'-':DUEDAY:'-':DUEYR, 'DI') Once this is done the date is printed along with the various loan payment information. The month is incremented (and year when necessary) then the process repeats. We notice when an international date configured XP machine accesses our code via UniObjects (DesignBais), we think DATE.FORMAT is adjusted and our code fails. Instead of getting Feb 1st, we get Jan 2nd. Instead of getting Mar 1st we get Jan 3rd. etc. We noticed if we implement this ICONV code all is well. DUEDATE = ICONV(DUEMO:'-':DUEDAY:'-':DUEYR, 'DIMDY') We were curious if this is standard and whether it works in UniVerse?
