Re: [U2] [u2] Professional Development
The issue is that pick jobs are not disappearing, it is an issue that they are changing as in all technologies. There is a move from internal custom applications to packaged solutions. U2 sales are growing but it is in ISV solutions. What is a problem is a mismatch of current skills and new demands for skills. The U2UG is setting up a professional development program to help build skills, career opportunities and opportunities. However we need your feedback to make this work. U2 developers and sales people are professionals whse skills go beyond just pick code. As a user group we want to create an environment to recognise that professionalism that can be put on a CV. We are looking at how to expand training opportunities and keep costs down. This is an opportunity to raise U2 experience and awareness and I look forward to your support in helping the user group to help its members.

Re: [U2] Regarding : Usage of the SEL.CMD
When I suggested you check ads in the MidEast or Asia, I completely forgot about Africa. (Shame on me) I probably get more enquiries from the African continent about T24 connectivity (with mv.NET) than anywhere else. And I'm talking Rwanda, Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya, and all over the map. T24 is also big in Europe. Wil's comment seems to indicate that they're just waiting over there for the US of A to jump in and provide them services. Dude, it's the other way around. They already have competent developers eager to offer services to the rest of the world. The approach should be less opportunistic and a more humble request for partnership with people who already know their markets. (Although suggesting to Americans that they should take a humble approach to foreign affairs seems to be akin to treason these days. LOL) T From: Wjhonson So there you go. Those software houses that are struggling in the US to compete against SQL based applications, should open a branch office in Nigeria or Morocco. They want cheap, and works. Africa is the new rust belt. ___ U2-Users mailing list U2-Users@listserver.u2ug.org http://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users

Re: [U2] [UV] Program X: Line 2, WRITE failure. ( SYS.MESSAGE 040019 )
Another cause: If the write is to a record that someone else has locked (shame on you for not explicitly locking it 1st), the 040019 error occurs on 20 minute timeout. (That default can be changed.) Search for 040019 on this list's archives. There are several less than definitive discussions about it. That's where I've encountered it. Went on a wild goose chase recently looking for that cause until I found the value-mark-in-the-id problem also causes it. David Jordan's sounds similar: mv data where single-valued expected.

Re: [U2] [UV] Program X: Line 2, WRITE failure. ( SYS.MESSAGE 040019 )
Here's from a similar discussion from 2005 below. No solution then. But I just thought of something I wish I'd thunk of 7 years ago. I can't make a write cough up 040019 during this condition, but maybe someone else can build on on it: For type-19, all ids hash to the same lock semaphore set for the lock table. If the lock table isn't big enough, you lock a lot of them (e.g., you forgot to release them by mistake) it is very easy to get this: READU threshold reached, lock on XYZ denied! (The hashing for the lock table is similar in principle to file hashing. The device, inode, the target id's group number determine which lock semaphore applies. For type-19 there is no group, so same semaphore for entire dir.) cds -Original Message- From: Anmol Chandrakant Khopade Sent: Tuesday, July 19, 2005 5:01 PM To: u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org Subject: [U2] DATABASE write problem Hi, I am facing a problem wherein a WRITE operation to a type 19 file is failing in some cases. The call to STATUS() function within the ON ERROR clause returns error 40019. Strangely this problem does not occur for all the writes operations, but approximately 100 times (out of 60K write operations). The record id contains the current time, so it doesn't seem to be an issue of 2 concurrent writes using the same record id. A point to note that this file has read and writes happening simulatneously i.e. A process keeps writing records, while the other process keeps on polling this file to read the records. Any pointers to the below points will be highly appreciated 1. Documentation where the error number can be looked up (40019 in this case) 2. If anyone has encountered a similar problem with write operation on a type 19 files, and has a solution, it would really help.
