Re: [U2] History of Prime Information
Prime Information was originally developed by Devcom I'm not sure what the name was at that time but I do know that Prime Computers bought them out and bought the rights from Pick to develop independently. Prime became a database powerhouse with the product at one time encompassing almost 50% of the database business in the US. From what I heard Vmark was a group of users of Prime Information that decided to go UNIX so they developed UniVerse borrowing much of the expertise from Prime to build a product that would ride on UNIX instead of Primos, Prime's operating system. They even took over some of the offices that Prime had on Speen Street. When Prime went under, don't ask why, at the end of the 80's, early 90's, Vmark bought Prime Information.

[U2] XML and UV

[U2] Shards
Strange I was reading this article on sharding (http://technoroy.blogspot.com/2008/07/shard-database-design.html) and I starting thinking as I read. We can do this in UniBasic using UniVerse and distributed files, what's the big deal. Granted I may not be as up on this as some of the newbees but I have a few years of decyphering technical newspeak and it looks like some of the things that a shard is, is already being done in U2. Distributed files, where you can set up tables to be accessed separately or together, has been around since PI days.

FV is the open file variable to the indexed file. ID is the value you are searching for in the indexed FIELDNAME. FIELDNAME is the name of the indexed fields in FV (e.g. CREATE.INDEX MYFILE FIELDNAME). A BY SEQ clause is optional, SEQ is either A or D for ascending or descending, (ascending is the default).

RE: [U2] blank lines in code / mixed case
I started to write this many times and each time it went against what my Mama always said, If you can't say anything nice then don't say anything at all. Yes, I know that was also said it Bambi but it was around long before the movie. Mixed case programming is a relatively new way of programming and if you have had any time in the business you would realize this. Yes most programmers didn't learn typing because during the years when we went to school very few straight males took typing. Personally I think you should be thankful that those bumbling two finger geeks created the language that puts bread on your table. Jerry Banker -Original Message- From: Bill Haskett [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, March 09, 2008 4:31 PM To: u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org Subject: RE: [U2] blank lines in code / mixed case Kevin: I'm sorry to say, on this rare occasion I disagree with your assessment. First, anyone who learned to type has no problem with the [Shift] key being used. In fact, those who've learned to type often type words instead of letters so there is nothing efficient in saving the [Shift] keystroke; to be honest, it's usually a problem not to include the key as part of the overall typing framework. I often laugh when I see C code because I know it was designed by geeks who couldn't type and are, ultimately, two finger peckers. :-) To those who say they don't have time to learn how to type I say they have an obligation to learn to use the tools of their trade. Do accountants not know how to use a 10-Key? Do doctors not know how to use a stethoscope? Do carpenters not know how to use a plane? Of course they know how to use them! With that said, let's look at some of the major aggravations of this case issue. Most of us, not all but most, have multiple windows open when we work. We may have a web browser open, or an email client, a word processor, a spreadsheet, or other applications. All of these applications, and I mean all of them, expect [Caps Lock] to be off (in fact, so does Unix)! When we move our focus to a U2 window we have to turn that darned function back on. When we go back to one of the other applications we end up typing cAPS lOCK all the time. This is so true that even when we watch demonstrations, where U2 is in the mix, we see the demonstrator having the same problem over, and over, and over (like switching back to U2 from another window to enter a TCL command, then backspacing over the typed in command to change it to upper case). For those who spend the majority of their time in the U2 environment, [Caps Lock] is probably set to on. However, for most of the rest of us it's a colossal aggravation, over, and over, and over. U2 (UV much more than UD) has come up with some partial solutions to this casing issue (because they recognize the error of their ways but it's too much trouble to fix it). UD is tough at ECL because case makes a big difference in an ECL verb. Having an ECL shell processor that can upper-case all commands doesn't quite work in UD when one wants to use a lower case ECL verb. With case sensitivity, it's clear there is a difference between the variable CUSTOMER.REC and Customer.Rec. I'm not at all convinced those who've thought this through really would create one variable CUSTOMER.REC and another variable Customer.Rec. Yet, again, upper- casing forces everyone to work around its serious limitations. The only place where I've found case to be important, other than in MV, is in command line options in Unix (here we run into those two finger geeks again). :-) Upper case is an anachronism and should be treated as such rather than defended. It is unwieldy for far too many and, in fact, interferes with efficient typing at every turn. Forcing people to use [Caps Lock] in U2 while all other used applications require [Caps Lock] to be off is a egalitarian ruse for autocracy. :-) This is, of course, IMHO...

Before I put on my flame suit, hear me out.. We developers type thousands - possibly even millions - of characters of code per year To press the letter R with caps lock on or off is only one keypress - keeping in mind the state of the cApS LocK. To type READU then is only 5. ReadU however, is 7 - an increase of 40%. Now, assuming that a typical program is 4000 characters, there's a potential of an additional 1000+ shift keypresses just to maintain case. Meaningless, you say? Everything we do takes an investment of time, and even a fraction of a second can turn into a significant investment when multiplied times millions
RE: [U2] blank lines in code / mixed case
If you ever want a scare then go through the programs in the Universe BP file. Some are upper case program lines with mixed case comments and prompts, the way I prefer it, some are all lower case, some are mixed case, and some are a mixture of all types. In the latter it appears that whomever was programming at the time picked their preferred case. So it appears not only we mere mortals have a problem deciding what standard to use. My problem with mixed case in a program is not necessarily a reading issue but a search issue. Let's take the example of the variable var, if you use all caps it is easy to find, search on VAR. You can do the same thing if you have all lower case but then the programming doesn't stand out from the comments or the prompts. If you program in mixed (camel) case then you would have to start looking for VAR, VAr, VaR, Var, vAR, vAr, vaR, and var, I know that no one would use a three letter variable in this way but it is possible and this is just a three letter variable. You can see what happens if you use a longer variable or command or by throwing in numbers and special characters. It explodes exponentially.

Analysis, design, and testing always take longer than programming. Even with a code change of one line you may take a lot of time analyzing the problem and the best way to fix it. Jerry Banker -Original Message- From: John Rodgers [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, March 07, 2008 4:01 PM To: u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org Subject: [U2] Estimating Timelines Snipped from Louie's contribution on the Include Wierdness - I have noticed that some programmers inflate their estimates by 10 times, just so they will look good finishing early. We have to beaccurate, without lying. Speaking for myself, this is usually necessary because today's applications are so complex that all the dependencies are impossible to forecast. It is not a question of lying - it is a question of trying to anticipate the worst case. The first estimate you give is the only one that management (your customers) will ever remember. You can explain the changed circumstances until you are blue in the face - it makes no difference. The customer cannot see the issues. You are late in delivering. A good example just occurred today. Set up a control flag for particular function. Easy enough - we already have a screen for these things - just add one field Should be about an hour. Tops. No big deal. Add the field and test it. SB+ spits it back at me with a matrix out of range error. These are linked screens - we are on the fifth screen. I smell a big problem. I create a sixth screen and put the field on that additional screen. Now I get a different (more informative) message. Too many fields on linked screens. As I suspected - we have hit the limit of this arrangement. We are on an old version. Now I have to totally re-design this set of screens. With Page forward and back keys Don't forget the Inquiry mode - How do I make those use the same screen defns? Make sure it functions exactly as it did before - it does not want to because the sub-screens are a different herd of cats. Now, how much time should I have estimated for this task? And this is not unusual. Does anyone out there have any thoughts on THIS issue? I think it (estimating timelines) is one of the more difficult tasks we face. Especially when interfacing to an existing mature application. Coding is the easy part of this job.

RE: [U2] INCLUDE weirdo

READ F2R FROM F2, KEY THEN... READ F3R FROM F3, KEY THEN... F1R36,X = F2R13 / F3R82 * F1R8 + F3R43 Just understanding the code takes a lot of backwards and forwards thru code. This wouldn't be so bad if they had at least standardised of F1 always being HPMAST, but they didn't, so the next program does this OPEN 'HPCONTRACT' TO F1 ELSE STOP OPEN 'HPTRANS.FILE' TO F2 ELSE STOP OPEN 'HPMAST.FILE' TO F3 ELSE STOP READ F1R FROM F1, KEY THEN... READ F2R FROM F2, KEY THEN... READ F3R FROM F3, KEY THEN... F1R36,X = F2R13 / F3R82 * F1R8 + F3R43 The formula at the bottom looks identical to the formula above but it's a totally different file / field combo. Multiply this by around 1700 programs and you begin to get a sense of what I face. If a program hits a file or record error it simply stops with no feedback to the user that the update is complete. Data integrity is an illusion. The system has been migrated from Pick, but without all the code being converted. As a result one has to try compile with a PICK compile, and if that fails, try a universe style compile. The dictionaries for the most part contain only F1, F2, F3 with the heading correct some of the time, and fields in use that do not appear in the dictionaries. Thus far I have started changing code to always open HPMAST to F.HPMAST, and to always read HPMAST into HPMAST.R. Code takes on a whole new meaning when you know what file you're working with. An additional swing is that every summary total is always calculated - nothing is stored. This means that every program that ever displays ARREARS for example has the code to calculate arrears in it. That makes 200 separate routines with the exact same code in it, just with differing file variables (ie not a simple swap out). The code needs to be changed, errors need to be trapped, and duplicated code weeded out but the time to rewrite complete code doesn't exist. Using included code allows me (the only full time programmer) to phase in the changes as time permits. The idea is to phase the new code into the system as and when a program is modified. Most programs create qpointers to the various (15) branches, then open the the qpointed files. The method of doing this varies considerably from program to program, with a bewildering array of possible file handles - my plan is to create ideal code for opening, reading, writing files, stored in SNIPPETS. I have started converting the opens to a standard, eg F.HPMAST, and read a standard record, eg HPMAST.R. Keys variables are set to a standard to allow the use of INCLUDES. Standardises READ includes, WRITE includes all preset with error trapping code. The theory behind the includes thing is that one can still produce a full listing of the code to debug if required. One can change just a read and write in a program without having to get involved in other files in the routine (really messy but allows the process to start and proceed on a very part time basis). Recompiling everything is far less tiring than trying to concentrate and not leave out code whilst being moved from fire to fire, besides which having it all in SNIPPETS allows me to get it right in one place and know that correction is being filtered into the whole system by a simple recompile. Adrian Womack wrote: Does anyone else think it's bad practice to have code in INCLUDES? Surely it would be much better to have the INITIATE.FEEDBACK GIVE.FEEDBACK routines written as subroutines, and then simply call them from the appropriate spots. --- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/ --- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/

For instance, configure your printer driver to print to file, then run the program, then examine the file produced to see it it contains what you expect it to contain. Then send it to the printer. Because I have an HP Color LaserJet 4550 PCL printer (and I'm a nice guy), I created a file that had those escape sequences (not using Pick, just a low-level editor), and ran it out to my printer. It printed each word in the proper color. So that says the code sequence is right, for an actual PCL printer. Email me privately if you'd like my test file. Also, it's possible that there is a problem in using the Generic driver. Try a different driver. But consider this: you can spend a LOT of time hand-writing PCL sequences. If you value your time, you might use a tool to make this easier. With our Print Wizard product, you could generate the following print data: = PWMLBODYPRE FONT color=redRed FONT color=blueBlue FONT color=blackBlack = ...and pass it to Print Wizard, which will render the intended output on ANY printer with a proper Windows driver.

Gabe On Jan 23, 2008 5:20 AM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi Gabe, We are using screen (version 4.0.2) on Unix to ensure that we have no disconnected sessions. We are only using it on our development machine for the moment but intend to roll it out to production pretty soon. In the unix profile for the user we check to see if there is any active screen session by doing a screen -ls - this will only display sessions for that user. If there is a disconnected session the profile attaches to that session otherwise it creates a new one. It works well - even repaints the window when the user reattaches. However, note that the only terminal emulation it supports is vt100. You may also need to change the default command escape sequence (ctrl-a takes you to the screen command line where the user can do all sorts of damage), but all of that is pretty well documented in the man pages. cheers, asvin [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote on 23/01/2008 03:27:31: Hi all, Back in the mvBASE days, a telnet disconnect would allow an interactive user's activities to continue. UV is smarter than this, however, and is quick to get rid of disconnected users. At least, it does not behave in the same way. What I would like to know is if there are facilities within UV to allow this sort of behavior. One scenario I dreamed up involved using the UNIX utility screen (which has been ported to Windows with cygwin). The issue would be tying screen sessions to existing telnet sessions and incorporating security so that we do not have people resuming one another's screen sessions. Has anyone attempted this? Or is there a third party tool to do this? The key thing is: as much transparency to the end user as possible. The tools we have available on the client side are AccuTerm 2K2; and UV (running on various flavors of Windows 2000-2003) on our servers. If screen is a potential solution, the cygwin layer could be installed. The reason I ask is because disconnects - which we have some control over; but often is left to the whims of customer infrastructure, can cause garbed up transactions; which gives us untold headaches. Ideas, anyone? We wouldn't go back to mvBASE if our lives depended on it; but we do need to solve the disconnect issues for our customers who refuse to pay for high quality data connections to our servers and the associated equipment.

RE: [U2] UV SEARCH Bug?
My guess would be that when a search is performed on a type 1 file, without a select list, it reads the file names and some may have been split by the name truncation used with type 1 files. With an active select list the search routine probably uses the select list which has the full concatenated name. A type 19 file wouldn't have the same problem because it does not split the long names.

[U2] list vs. email
Maybe you didn't get my last message. It doesn't matter around here if a forum is better or not, the PHB's will not allow the users to surf the net even to get email. At one time I was registered on this list as my personal hotmail account but I had to stop using it because they blocked access to hotmail. I also have accounts at yahoo and my space but those are or were blocked so I have to use my business email account to keep from having it blocked. The only other way would be to only look at the questions and responses from home afterhours; in that case I would be an observer and not a participant.

One of the systems (Vertical Televantage) can only communicate with other databases via ODBC. In this scenario, UV would need to be the ODBC server and Televantage the client. Caller ID would be passed to UV, and it would return back whatever customer data we might want to use to route to the appropriate call center agent. Back around '03 I explored something similar with our SQL Server based CRM application and ended up making UV the ODBC client instead. Seems like I couldn't find a way to go the other direction except via a desktop VB app - not in the background as a service. I did successfully connected to UV as an ODBC server from Excel some years back, but again, that was via the desktop. I also remember setting up a separate SQL-ized UV account and Q-pointers back to my Pick flavor account's data to make that work. That was on a different platform and version of UV, though. Has anyone done something similar using ODBC and UV as the ODBC server? Does what I remember about the process still hold true, or am I completely off base?

Cheers, Stuart Boydell --- Jerry Banker - Wed, 26 Sep 2007 09:04:21 -0700 Today I came across an error I've never had before. While updating a field on all of the records of a file (approximately 400,000) I received the error below and the program halted in the debugger. I wasn't running the program in the debugger. This is happening on our test system that's running Red Hat Linux AS 3 and UniVerse 10.2.4. The program I am running is a short program that reads each record, it gets from a select list, and substitutes the value in a field with another value then writes the record back out. No big whoop. It runs without any errors on our live system running the same Linux version but on 10.1.12 of UniVerse. The config on both systems is set up the same, or at least the same config directives that are on both systems. The test version is a 5 user workgroup version and the live system is a 117 user enterprise version, if that makes a difference. This has happened more than once on more than one file. The first time I was able to do a 'C' when the debugger prompt showed up but the second time it quit the session before I could continue it. ** This email message and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of addressed recipient(s).

And what about those who don't want to spend any money, don't want to see any ads, but do want free stuff? (Hey now, THAT sounds like the MV community...) So I would put my 2c on - posts that are primarily intended to be adverts for products should be so marked. Where they are primarily intended to offer assistance - like Tony's in this case - we should leave it up to the conscience of the poster. After all, having [AD] is not a slur - some people might even *miss* the advert otherwise...

RE: [U2] To Ad or Not to Ad
Tony, It does make it rather difficult when perhaps the fix to a person's problem does lie in a product that just happens to be sold by the answerer. I, personally, liked your little demo and showed it to a few people out here. Was it an ad? That's questionable because it does contain advertising material but also some good instruction. I know when someone sends a blatant ad or not so I can delete it if I wish. However, sometimes I find a little nugget of information I was looking for even in the ads. I expect them on a list like this where you have a variety of users that also build products for sale.

I think Standards are top-down delivered entities in the language from the database providers, ie IBM, Raining Data etc. It's the syntax of commands. Styles are the localized adaptations of the commands, combined for a consistency. They should not extend beyond the horizon of the programs that the 'stylists' have control over. Thus, we can share 'styles' and even vote on them. But we all can choose to pick and choose which ones we feel are better suited for use within our own horizons.

Lol. Well it was supposed to be rhetorical and I wasn't expecting a response but since you have; may I cast an opinion that boiling down a definition of good code to being efficient and maintainable and calling it a standard is an oversimplification and well, plain dangerous. Of course code should try to exhibit both qualities but, as you point out, they're value calls and aren't measurable by themselves. Standards should always be concrete. Possibly like: Always use a matching 'END' clause after an 'IF/THEN' construct regardless of the number of statements (eg no single-line IF/THEN conditionals). It's a concrete rule and it can be justified because it makes code 'look' consistent and that's something which helps errors to stand out. It's also no less efficient at runtime to use IF/THEN/END than a single line IF/THEN for a condition with only one statement to be performed. (Whether a shop would actually choose that as a real standard is not the point in this example). Among other qualities of 'good' code, I would say - Does it also perform its function? Obvious to say but does code always handle potential errors? something which I see very little of in certain areas of standard pick code. This can make code quite convoluted... using READU/LOCKED/ON ERROR/ELSE, BEGIN/END TRANSACTION etc. Possibly overengineered, inefficient, even ugly. But is a program performing its function if say, an update gets a ledger out of balance because it doesn't handle a lock, or an out of sync update anomaly correctly. There is the real risk of costly repercussions to the business. I'm sure everyone has seen examples of programs that only blind luck keeps running in production. On the no need to look in a manual therefore it must be maintainable mantra. A hypothetical if you will: You're in a U2 only shop working on a testing the values of a dynamic array variable. Would you a) use a DCOUNT(), FOR/NEXT construct and call IF/THEN multiple times or b) use a single IFS() vector function? (leaving aside REMOVE() for the moment) can you tell me which construct you'd use measured against efficient and maintainable? I'd look at it in light of the efficient and maintainable standard and say: The single IFS() function is an order of magnitude simpler and quanta more efficient than the DCOUNT/FOR/IF/THEN/NEXT. In my mind something which is a simple, single statement is more maintainable than a multi line/multi statement construct. So for my money, it's a lay down misere I'd use the IFS(). However, IFS() isn't used very often in code I've seen. Do you still give in to your standard and use the IFS()? You could make an assumption about the maintenance programmer coming after you. Will they look at IFS(), suddenly go very pale, panic, run screaming out of the room crying 'heresy' and never code again? Or do you give them a smidgeon of credit, that though they have never seen IFS() before, they can open one of the dusty, paper manuals that's been propping up a shelf for the past 20 years and read the explanation of IFS() and work it out (Of course, they could then refactor it back to a FOR/IF/THEN/NEXT construct because they're being paid by the hour). It's a curly path and I reckon that unless you have concrete statement which says - never use or always use vector functions - it's a guideline not a standard.

I have never seen a need for some of the conversion codes described because there is usually something less obscure and more descriptive (English like) that can be used. Now for some programmers the formats and conversions in the test may be used but I have worked for companies in manufacturing, education, banking, and accounting and some of the conversions in the test I would never and have never used.

[U2] Putting Universe on a SAN
I know I saw some information on this list about not putting Universe on a SAN. Does anyone have that information readily available? Does anyone know if the problems they were having were fixed or could be fixed? We are thinking of putting our Universe data accounts, not the runtime, on a SAN and using replication to another SAN off site. There will be other databases on the SAN, FoxPro and SQL Server, Will this cause a problem? Are any of you doing this? What kind of results are you getting? UV is on Red Hat the others are on Windows will that be a problem? Jerry --- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/

(Universe keeps the DATA.30 file open while trying to delete the enclosing directory. This will fail on an nfs mounted directory.) Override the VOC entry with your own version. Do not access a snapshot of a file from the same mount as the original. At least on NetApps, the inode of the snapshot will be the same as the inode of the original. Universe will confuse the data. Besides the usual caveats about making sure that a single machine controls locks for any given file, it is also worthwhile to keep the NFS under a set folders(4-6 or so) and then give each of these folders its own mount point on the host machine. Effectively creating multiple devices under UV. Of course: do not try this without a good UPS. Most SAN's have one built in too. Corruption of a group is still possible, but our experience has been good. My advice would be to replicate snapshots rather than live data (Unless you are using Uv Replication). With snapshots, you can temporarily suspend IO, take a snapshot, and continue. If you are doing live replication at the SAN level, then a major problem (an errant DELETE.FILE, for instance) will be replicated on your backup SAN. Also, suspending IO will avoid catching files in transitional states.

RE: [U2] curious EQUATE issue - SOLVED Just want to know if anyone understands WHY?
Bill, So what you are saying is that it is bad usage of the equate statement even though it can be done. I agree and the '=' is used more often for this type of equation. However, this program was created 15 years ago (long before I started here) and had been working fine until the code was changed with the variable being inserted instead of the raw character causing us to wonder about why. The program is back to the way it was and is working fine. We just thought we could get an explanation from someone on the list as to why it made a difference and maybe let some of you all out there know to watch out for these little quirks of the language.

RE: [U2] UV Printer file size limit reached
Brian, 1. I checked the spooler this morning and one of the spooler queues was locked up with one of those child process errors but I don't know when that happened. I stopped and started the spooler and it cleared the error to it. I don't know what that could possibly have to do with the other problem though. 2. One of the first things I checked when the limit error occurred was the lock table and it only had one lock set. I had a wonderful day off. I spent the morning with my youngest Granddaughter at her pre-school. I read a book to the class and got to eat with them and play games.

[U2] UV Printer file size limit reached
Today I came across an error I've never had before. While updating a field on all of the records of a file (approximately 400,000) I received the error below and the program halted in the debugger. I wasn't running the program in the debugger. This is happening on our test system that's running Red Hat Linux AS 3 and UniVerse 10.2.4. The program I am running is a short program that reads each record, it gets from a select list, and substitutes the value in a field with another value then writes the record back out. No big whoop. It runs without any errors on our live system running the same Linux version but on 10.1.12 of UniVerse. The config on both systems is set up the same, or at least the same config directives that are on both systems. The test version is a 5 user workgroup version and the live system is a 117 user enterprise version, if that makes a difference. This has happened more than once on more than one file. The first time I was able to do a 'C' when the debugger prompt showed up but the second time it quit the session before I could continue it.

We are preparing to move to our vendors newest software version - Release 18 - and are concerned that the potential load on our existing server might be problematic. Our existing production server is also going to be Release 18's new home. We're creating the new environment and maintaining the existing production environment, at the same time...on the same box. Initially, we had the option of moving our present Release 17 environment to either a combined (both app and database on the same server) or distributed (not supported after 8/8/2007) configuration. From the beginning, we planned to be a combined environment. As other users have gone LIVE with a combined environment, we've started to notice that some (a few) were having load issues. This is a condition we **really** want to avoid. After we created a test environment, we decided to pound on it to see what kind of results we would get. Unfortunately, a few times we bought the server to a virtual standstill (this was done during the summer so our normal load was rather light). Through discussions with the vendor, a recommendation started to evolve where the portion of the infrastructure that is used to handle communications with the database, be moved to a separate server. This communications server would be hard wired (IP to IP) to our database/app server and would handle all traffic between the app/web and the database. The thinking is that by off-loading the overhead associated with the app/web accessing the database onto a separate box, our performance will improve. We've created a test communications server and are in the process of setting it up on our network. After further discussions today with the vendor, we're still not sure what type of results to expect. But mention was made that Unidata is resource hungry (especially on Windows), and would probably benefit from this off-loading. I have found over my many years in IT that, although I may think the issue I am facing is completely unique, this is rarely the case. Has anyone on the listserv ever had to off-load an aspect of their infrastructure onto a separate server in order to accommodate any resource issues between their app/web and Unidata (on Windows)? Even if you've not had to do this, are there any recommendations in light of the scenario I've painted above?
