Re: [U2] BFORMAT
Seriously though, the original poster's question was whether anyone had the source code for a Format program. On UniVerse you will find the source code for both the FORMAT verb (which calls the FORMAT.BASIC subroutine in files BP and APP.PROGS. The fromnt end for the FORMAT and FANCY.FORMAT verbs are named FORMAT.B (this is where you would change the default parameters for margins, etc.) and the code in APP.PROGS is named FMT.BASIC.B. Yoou can change the source for either (or both) of those items to make them work whatever way you want. Just make sure you understand how to globally catalog them properly, particularly the one in APP.PROGS which must be globally cataloged as -FORMAT.BASIC The built in FORMAT (and FANCY.FORMAT) command from within ED will then work as you want or the version of the verb FORMAT from will work as you want.

Subject: [U2] DEBUG mode on a UniObjects connections
Hi all,
I'm new to the list, and hope that someone may have the answer to a
problem which is causing me a lot of headaches at the moment.
I'm using VB6 and UniObjects to connect to a Universe Database.
I call DataBasic routines from the VB6 client.
All works fine, until there is a problem in the databasic code, which
sends it into DEBUG.
The client screen locks up, and my talking screenreader goes into sulk
mode, which normally means I have to reboot.
I wouldn't expect anyone on the list to solve the screenreader problem,
but sighted colleagues have reported similar experiences with this type
of connection.
Is this a bug in UniObjects, or did I set it up wrongly.
Many thanks for any ideas,
Dave

Re: [U2] Garbage Characters
It could be that U2 Device licensing turned on and are not using an Enterprise version of U2. Accuterm will send a handshake to negotiate the device licensing issues that will appear as several characters on your screen if you are not using a device licensed equipped version of U2. This also happens if you have disconnected an reconnected because U2 only recognizes the handshake when you first connect. To check for the device licensing option click on the Accuterm menu bar, Tools, Select settings from the drop down menu, then the Connection tab of the multi-tabbed screen.

Re: [U2] Universe Equivalent of the UnIData DIR command
Doug, You didn't state whether this is a hashed file or a file produced from some other OS level application which would make some difference, but there are a number of ways to do this in UniVerse. If the file you are interested in is a UniVerse hashed file you can try and open it with the OPENPATH statement (or any of the other possibilities like referencing it through a Q-pointer with the OPEN statement). If the file doesn't exist, the ELSE clause of the OPENPATH or OPEN statement will be taken. If the file is not a UniVerse hashed file you can always try and open it with the OPENSEQ statement by using the directory path to the file. Once again, if the file doesn't exist, the ELSE clause will be taken. Either way, once the file is open you can use the Basic STATUS statement on the file variable to return a wealth of information about the file, all the fields you are interested in plus many more fields. Example: OPENSEQ '/etc/passwd' TO PASSWD.FILE ELSE CRT 'Cannot open the unix file of all valid users' STOP END STATUS FILE.PROPERTIES FROM PASSWD.FILE THEN CRT 'The size of /etc/passwd is ':FILE.PROPERTIES6,1,1 CRT 'The permissions of /etc/passwd are ':FILE.PROPERTIES5,1,1 END ELSE CRT 'Could not retrieve status on /etc/passed' END From TCL: HELP BASIC STATUS HELP BASIC OPENSEQ HELP BASIC OPENPATH From the Basic manual (CD) you can check each of these commands for a more detailed explanation including how to use $INCLUDE UNIVERSE.INCLUDE FILEINFO.H which will let you retrieve about 90 different properties of of the file by name rather than attribute,value,subvalue [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Universe has a STATUS statement (not the function) and a FILEINFO() function.

Re: [U2] odbc access and crystal reports
Just for documentation sake (since this problem seems resolved) I have had pretty good luck using a product called Datavision which is Crystal Reports-like but available for free (open source). It uses JDBC and I have used it with Universe 10 with no problems. It has fit many of my needs http://datavision.sourceforge.net Charlie Rubeor wrote: Many thanks for the reply. I should not have used the phrase roll out, since the users already have Crystal Reports. But either way, the high price of Crystal Reports is one of the reasons we have no budget. Your suggestions sound great and they deal with my biggest concern, which was how to prevent updates. Right not, the plan is to us your suggestions and to only allow connections to a mirrored copy of the data.

We setup our ODBC account so the PUBLIC user only has select access. This means regular users won't be able to update anything through ODBC. Important if you have some users smart enough to realize that they can connect through Access/Excel. We did this on Windows and discovered that if the user that created the schemas belonged to the administrators group then ALL users that belonged to the administrators group had owner (full) privileges on the schema. We created a new user that we used to create the schemas. Not sure if you will have the same issue with hpux. I'm not sure how well a limited budget and rolling Crystal reports out to 300 users will work ;). hth Colin Alfke Calgary, AB -Original Message- From: Charlie Rubeor We use Unidata 6.0, hpux 11.11, with the Dataworks package. We have the odbc connections setup, but we only use them within the computer department, ten users in total. Our PHBs would like us to roll out Crystal Reports to the users, well over three hundred of them. So, I'm looking for some pointers or best practices on how to set up the clients, manage privileges, etc. Our budget is limited, of course, but we have a very strong network infrastructure, lots of disk and cpu cycles to spare, so any and all suggestions would be welcome.

Re: [U2] UV 10.1.11 XP SP2
Yeah, I did have that exact same problem until I uninstalled the software I use for my Verizon phone to magically turn it into a very bad wireless modem. As so as I uninstalled that, telnet and rpc worked again. It must have something to do with all the various layered TCP stack products. I meant to reinstall the Verizon stuff again after getting UniVerse back up to see if it broke it again and never got around to it.

Re: [U2] RE: free info - was XML and Accuterm
It's even more thrilling when the people looking for the examples purport to being consultants themselves and are, in effect, competitors. God Bless ya Tony. Besides, you've reached a certain age you have the right to be curmudgeonly. Al Tony Gravagno wrote: Will wrote: Tony writes: have the client shell out, execute the function, return data to a local file, Do you have an example of how to execute a request like that in Windows or Unix and return the result to a local file? Thanks Sorry Will. This is my business. I take the time to research how to use technologies and I sell that information and related services to my clients who don't have the time to do that research on their own. I stop short of providing detailed code sequences especially when there are (in this case) examples provided with AccuTerm itself and in their web forum. For the XML request and parsing, I wrote a free series of articles on this topic in Spectrum magazine that spanned four issues and included links to a multitude of sites for information, freeware, and products. The world is full of examples like this and I don't think it's fair to put the burden on people in this forum to produce data that's easily available elsewhere. I'll also note that Rob Wills just went to the Accuterm web site and got info that anyone could get, and generously volunteered to come up with more info from research tomorrow. That's very helpful and I'd usually do the same myself, but in this case Rob is volunteering to do research simply because Will doesn't feel like doing it. That is so wrong. I'm only going off on this because this request for examples reminds me of the how do I connect to the web thread that went on for weeks with detailed solutions - simply because a couple people wanted the information spoon fed to them without doing their homework outside of this U2-specific forum. C'mon, you don't want examples, you want copy/paste code for your specific project and the questions will keep coming until every aspect of the project is complete. I know this is harsh. But every time I post a note like this somewhere I get flamed by some people for being a grouch and I get emails of praise from others for drawing the line somewhere - I'll take the risk. I'm sorry, I'll provide as much free info as I can to benefit as many people as possible, and I've been doing so in MV forums like this for over 10 years. But when the questions get this specific I have to ask people to do their own homework. There are those of us who work hard and study hard so that we can sell our knowledge as a product and thus pay our bills. There is value to what we do, as is evident by the fact that people are going to take info they find here and sell it to someone else as their own know-how. There's no accident to my calling my company Research and Development. We'll do the research and/or we'll do the development - we consider both of these as equally valuable offerings in this market where many people need as much information as they need assistance with development using modern technologies.
