[U2] [UV] WHILE READNEXT id DO
LOOP
code
WHILE READNEXT id DO
more code
REPEAT
This format of the READNEXT statement is used in a couple of places in the
UniVerse BASIC manual. It looks like READNEXT is returning a Boolean.
If I look up READNEXT in the manual (or in HELP from TCL) - there is no
mention of this format of the statement.
And in the manual the THEN and ELSE are enclosed in braces: {THEN statements
[ELSE statements] | ELSE statements}
which according to convention means that I have to choose one non-optional
item.
Has this format of the statement just been left out of the manual by mistake
or is it a new format, that was never documented.
And, what are people's thoughts on using this format. Personally I dislike
it, as it isn't easily readable, it's not documented and it's not a standard
use of the statement syntax.

[U2] inserting European format dates using SQL
I'm trying to insert a record using SQL from a VB app. The problem is that it assumes the date field is in American format. I'd prefer to specify the date in European format. We always use a single D as the conversion code for all date fields in dictionaries and our LOGIN paragraphs always run DATE.FORMAT, so dates in our UV applications are always formatted correctly ;-) Does anyone know how I make the external SQL accept the date in European format?

[U2] [UV] SELECTINDEX inside a user conversion subroutine is corruptin g the record count
We have a user conversion code (named UOPNN) which we use in the conversion field of dictionaries to convert an operator number into an operator name. Our operators (ie. users) control file is keyed on name with an AK on number. The UOPNN routine uses SELECTINDEX on the operator file using the number to obtain the name. The SELECTINDEX statement is selecting to list 8, therefore not affecting the default list (0). If I list a file with the SAMPLE keyword, displaying a field which uses the conversion code - then 10 records will be listed, BUT the final line displayed is Sample of 1 records listed. instead of Sample of 10 records listed. The number displayed (ie. 1) is dependant on the number of records that the final SELECTINDEX returns, which, to me, indicates that SELECTINDEX is overwriting some internal counter variable. I added a CRT of @SELECTED and @SYSTEM.RETURN.CODE to the conversion routine and neither of these are altered by the SELECTINDEX. This looks like it may be a bug in Universe as I'm pretty sure we didn't have this problem under PI/Open. Does anyone have any suggestions of a way around this problem?

[U2] [UV] CONVERT.SQL (UV files SQL tables)
* Note: I'm resending this posting as after almost 3 hours my first attempt still hasn't appeared back in my inbox. -- Our UniVerse files on our production unix box all have permissions set so owner and group both have read write access. Our users are all locked into menus and can only access the files via the application programs. I would like to make one of these files accessible (SELECT only) to the outside world via SQL. If I use CONVERT.SQL to convert the file into a table and then use GRANT to set connect select access to a specific user, that user can then connect perform SQL selects on the file. BUT - the rest of our users can no longer access the file via regular UniVerse commands (LIST statements, BASIC reads and writes, etc). It looks like I would have to GRANT connect, select, update, delete insert on the table to EVERY regular UniVerse user just so they can continue to access this file normally. Is there a better (ie. easier) way to achieve this? Am I doing something wrong? I suppose I could make a copy of the file in question which would only be used via SQL, but that would present further complications. AdrianW Disclaimer. This e-mail is private and confidential.

RE: [U2] [UV] File handles in arrays
Not a chance. A dynamic array is really just a string (with delimiters). A file variable has to be stored in a real variable. Why do you have a problem with using a matrix, it's more efficient than a dynamic array anyway. -Original Message- From: Barry Brevik [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, 13 May 2004 08:01 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [U2] [UV] File handles in arrays Is it not possible to store a file handle in a dynamic array?

RE: [U2] PHANTOM forever
We have many phantoms doing various stuff in the background. We're running Universe (and previously PI/Open) and we have to do nothing special to get these phantom processes to keep running when the parent process is logged out. All we do is the standard PHANTOM program.id. Maybe under UniData there's a problem with the parent logging out - but not under UniVerse. AdrianW -Original Message- From: Sara Burns [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, 4 May 2004 09:19 To: U2 List ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Subject: RE: [U2] PHANTOM forever We discovered this problem with our phantom which sends data to Oracle. We have developed a double stage method to disconnect it from the user. Initially we write the command to launch the phantom to a file - we call ours SCRIPTS, which contains the command of the structure echo program name | /uv/bin/uv ./\PH\/name of log file in PH) 21 Then we have an item in the VOC which contains SH -c 'full path to the item in SCRIPTS' Our initialisation program writes the entry in SCRIPTS then executes the item in the VOC. In the past we extended this to be able to run multiple phantoms doing the same job. Improved hardware means we don't need multiples now. This was originally developed using UniData and we have since ported it to UniVerse. It works well.
