Re: [U2] Etymology of Q-Pointer
another plausible possibility was that after creating the q pointer, the file had new been Queued for usage. or perhaps the programmer that named it was hungry, and his wife was making Quiche that night. hmmm that made me hungry.! -Original Message- From: u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org [mailto:u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org] On Behalf Of Wjhonson Sent: Friday, September 07, 2012 9:30 AM To: u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org Subject: Re: [U2] Etymology of Q-Pointer Early versions of Pick did not natively have a way to reference the Master Dictionary at all. That is, you could not open the master dictionary as a file because there was no reference to it, to use as the text handle against an OPEN. This is why the MD itself had a Q pointer called MD, which just had a Q in the first field and nothing else in it. Now having an item in the master dictionary to point at itself, you can OPEN MD TO F.MD Q pointers do not need anything in the second field. If you only have a Q in the first field and then a name in the *third* field, then it assume you are making a short link (quick link) to a file with a long name. ___ U2-Users mailing list U2-Users@listserver.u2ug.org http://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users ___ U2-Users mailing list U2-Users@listserver.u2ug.org http://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users

I personally miss the convenience of grabbing the phone and calling my 'old friends', but I have found that I can plow through most problems. For our management the main consideration is that we will not be doing any future upgrades to our app (Dataflo - Epicor). So the 'free' upgrade release which comes with the support contract is of no interest to us. Ditto for Unidata. Ditto for Wintegrate. Furthermore we have been so long on our current release most of the baseline bugs that could impact our business process have long ago been patched (by Epicor or by me). As such we do not expect to encounter need for bug support. Our internal business processes are heavily proceduralized (word?), so there is no need for user education support. Our hardware support is direct (HP, HP-UX). This is mission-critical, so we must continue with support with HP (and we have used that in the meantime).

I still keep a copy and recently reached out to Bro to bring it into my place of work. It does have its learning curve, largely because it is so feature-rich. Let's not forget the objective of the tookbox is simplifying MV development cross-platform (Bro told me a few weeks ago he's working on a jbase port). With its integration into so many telnet clients, mouse clicks and all, I think it does a very good job meeting it's objective. Do I wish it supported a true GUI front end? Sure.

Respected colleagues, CSV is not Excel. If you have an end-user that asks for Excel and you give them a CSV you're just perpetuating the myth that Pick is a dinosaur. They will gladly spend tens of thousands of dollars to replace your application with something that creates real Excel (and PDF) despite the fact that such things can be attained at low cost or no cost right now. Trust me, I've seen it happen. This dove-tails with the reasons why people get 20 people to support Oracle when they can have 3 working on Pick. The reason is that the Oracle people say yes, and give them pretty reports, when their Pick guys say no, and give them plain text in columns and rows and call it Excel. Please don't let that happen to you. Be sure you are properly responding to end-user requests. Just ask them what they do with the documents after you generate them. If they really just want raw data, OK. But if they go on to tell you how many days it takes to reformat the data, assemble the multiple CSVs into a single workbook, etc, then you have found a great deal of room for improvement.

Re: [U2] [OT] CareerBuider.com exploiting animals intheir advertising
peta was found guilty of accepting animals in their 'do not kill' animal shelter, and then putting them to death. they were caught when they were dumping a bunch of carcasses in the dumpster behind a business that had alerted the cops that someone had been illegally dumping hundreds of dead animals. the man and woman were both tried and convicted. peta denied they knew about it, the workers said they were only doing as they were instructed. but there was no BONUS for them involved so why would they do this of their own volition? this was about 10+ years ago. i'm afraid the martini for breakfast crowd has taken over peta as well as the sierra club and is just milking the donations to support their lavish life style. it's really easy when you use emotion instead of logic, and use good looking girls (airheads) willing to strut around in their birthday suits for the cause i used to donate to both groups in the 90's as well as the aclu. now i regret those donations. -Original Message- From: u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org [mailto:u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org] On Behalf Of George Gallen Sent: Saturday, February 04, 2012 8:04 PM To: U2 Users List Subject: Re: [U2] [OT] CareerBuider.com exploiting animals intheir advertising I agree, and to think of all the Pick programmers that are abused daily in programming world..so sad.

Re: [U2] Saying Goodbye... Reasons not to say goodbye.
Agree/Disagree department: While it is CRUCIALLY IMPORTANT that we as programmers SUPPORT GUI for the guys in the trenches that are making the sale that allows us to continue in our trade, it is also PARAMOUNT that all GUI's are just the FRONT DOOR to a robust keystroke oriented human/computer interface that doesn't destroy the INTENT of computers in the first place and cause nightmarish health conditions. Any GUI that forces use of the mouse without AT LEAST OFFERING a manual short cut is just BEGGING for productivity to be reduced by a magnitude in factor, and ignores the fact that the human arm and supporting back muscles did not evolve with the purpose to wave around unsupported in the air for long periods of time. My wife has suffered in absolutely debilitating pain for a decade with mouse shoulder, and all because some SUIT had to have a GUI without thought to the consequences to health or throughput. I type 120 wpm and have been measured on the 10 key at 18,000 kph (keystrokes, not kilometers;-) and while I am a ACE with the mouse/railgun in Quake3Arena, there isn't even a *standard for measuring* mouse effectively that I know of. Now don't get me wrong, GUI is GREAT while a person is being trained, or for low throughput environments, or for making that sale in the field. But GUI cannot compare to the shear speed and incredible accuracy of a well trained keystroke only data entry person. There were days (30 years ago) when I entered 10,000 physical inventory tickets with an accuracy of 1 mistake per 1000 tickets. If I had to use a mouse, I dare say that would have dropped to maybe about 950 - 1000 tickets per day - BUT it would have been a lot prettier. Does speed and accuracy have a place as we move more into the future with bar codes and RF encoders? Maybe not. But we're not there yet especially since small to medium businesses with very manual systems constitute the majority of the dollars distributed in our faltering economy. -Original Message- From: u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org [mailto:u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org] On Behalf Of Doug Averch Sent: Thursday, April 28, 2011 6:57 AM To: U2 Users List Subject: Re: [U2] Saying Goodbye...

I've been a layed-off DBA, for a small retail company, for the past 22 months, consulting my previous employer because they got rid of me so they could have salary cap to hire a different type of IT manager and move off UV to Profit21, which failed after $250,000 lost. They are back on UV and will stay now. I, however, have to move on because I've received the proverbial offer one can't refuse ($5000US signing bonus and the option for 5000 shares of company stock), plus no one in the 'PICK' world has offered me anything, though there may be a few things still in the works, which will now go quietly away.

Re: [U2] Is this worth rewriting?
That is an object used in prelude. It is passed around everywhere. The question was how to make it faster. In a loop you want to eliminate redundant overhead to accomplish this. The way to stop that overhead in the reference to dynamic vars is to place them into single attr vars as Kevin suggested; thereby reducing the dynamic parsing that occurs automatically in the background. After the loop, THEN put them back in the object. You will see a SIGNIFICANT increase in AFishInSea with this simple task.

Re: [U2] Is this worth rewriting?
All right, I just went ahead and rewrote this the way I would do it since I haven't written a single bit of code since I got laid off at the end of September. And I did it while my wife and I are watching Judge Judy - it was *fun* :-) Granted I can't use real var names since I don't know what these are, but using a simple var name replacement scheme, this illustrates what I would consider the least amount of overhead for this. A) reduced the overhead on the repetitive calls to over 100 attrs. The system needs to look at *every single byte* in the record until it gets to attr desired. If these are 25,000 byte records this would be a HUGE amount of needless throughput which you can calc by (iterations - 2) * average bytes to read before attr needed * number of times the statement is used in the loop B) Yup, got rid of the #. Not only does this make more sense, but # is REALLY doing two comparisons: and C) Got rid of the leading 7 digit indent to make it more readable D) I don't see the necessity of testing three vars to see if they aren't zero before adding them together. If they are zero, the equation will work. If they are not zero, the equation will work. I can see maybe doing that if the equation was doing any dividing to avoid the can't divide by zero error, but not on adding. E) I always make all my IF's block IF's to stub them out for future dev, as well as to make them easier to read. So I did that at the bottom even though it was just for one add stmt. F) My eyes are really getting old. I need spaces between VARs and operands so they don't smush together. So I spaced accordingly to make everything just a tad more readable as well. Now, this takes more lines of code. But many times more lines of code can be way faster than fewer lines of code especially if the extra lines of code are OUTSIDE of the loop.

Re: [U2] Is this worth rewriting?
Oh yeah, assembly - no sweat, you could do that on an old IBM360 along with floating point math and hosts of really awesome and incredibly mind numbing complicated stuff. But non-relocateable machine code? You know, the stuff that's *really* doing the work? I've never seen any that could do a NOT and an = at the same time even on the 360. And with reduced instruction sets being all the rage, it's probably not been added, eh? In any event, it's not a significant enough to have any measurable effect on speed, but is easier to look at. Btw, the rumor was that the teacher that I had for year two of the 360 assembly, who used to write I/O routines in machine code for IBM at the time as his day job, lost his mind and sat in the corner laughing to himself before they finally gave him a padded suit. -Original Message- From: u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org [mailto:u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org] On Behalf Of Dan McGrath Sent: Wednesday, March 02, 2011 8:00 PM To: U2 Users List Subject: Re: [U2] Is this worth rewriting? #1 In x86 assembly, you use can use JE or JNE.

Re: [U2] Is this worth rewriting?
Ok, just to be clear, there is a difference between an interpreted instruction and a hard wired machine code instruction. An actual BRANCH ON NOTEQUAL operand ANALOG *circuit* must be etched in silicon at the flip-flop level before it's a machine code instruction. So like, not impossible. But here's the cool point. Digital devices, are implemented with capacitors, transistors, resistors. Analog devices. I dunno, just makes me laugh every time I think about the fact that at the lowest level there is really no such thing as digital because electricity is analog lol Speaking of analog (how's that for a segue?), all guitar pros still use tube amps. I make tube amps! It's so different to work with 500 volt tubes and transformers than programming.

Yes, in the real instruction that gets send down those long multi-stage pipe lines in our multi-core CPUs :) They take the same amount of clock cycles to compare if a 32bit/64 bit value is equal, or not equal. When values are compared it merely sets one of the many flags in the CPU. This binary flag is used to determine if it was equal or not, the only difference in the machine code is whether you perform an action if the flag is true or perform an action if the flag is false. This is as true in RISC processors as it is in CISC. But yes, this sort of optimisation is rarely needed. In fact, if you were to ever write the code in C/C++ the compiler would automatically optimise the machine code far better than most mere mortals could :) For some reason, you mentioning your teacher made me think of The Story of Mel: http://www.catb.org/jargon/html/story-of-mel.html snip ___ U2-Users mailing list U2-Users@listserver.u2ug.org http://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users

Yeah, that's what I do in my editor I wrote back in '90. Any time an ESC

If not, then I check for my own programmed escape action codes, and if not

Re: [U2] .NET Developer
Allen steps up to the soapbox As someone that's done *quite a bit* of both the remote programmer gig (11 years) as well as on site (23 years), I think it's very interesting that people will balk at spending 1 to 2 hours for a kickoff meeting with a programmer on the speaker phone or even skype video, while they think *nothing* of spending that much time face to face. Even half an hour a day over skype or phone *during the thickest part* of working out a HUGE project seems excessive to some, while the same people will spend that much time *or more* next to the coffee maker just blabbing about the latest snooze topics. In my experience, it's the NOT the distance - it's the amount of TIME AND ATTENTION that one spends tending to the questions of the programmer that makes or breaks projects and deadlines. It's the quality of the thought that goes into the words that are exchanged that makes the difference. I've had onsite and offsite clients that understood this and they received quality work on time!!! Other onsite and offsite clients that didn't want to spend the time or just blurted out incorrect answers to end the questioning received finished projects that matched the quality of their answers and the quantity of their time invested. As Rodney Dangerfield once said I don't get no respect and this perhaps could be the slogan of the 'work from home' programmers of the world. I suspect that as monstrously large and cheap paper thin monitors you can hang on the wall like a piece of paper become the norm and bandwidth reaches the trillion bits per second range, that people will ***still*** say they prefer face to face because they can't *smell* the person as well over *UBER HD* skype of the future ;-) Allen steps off the virtual soapbox Btw, the paper thin flexable plastic monitors exist but they're still working the kinks out of mass production.

RE: [U2] I need a correlative, just like the correlative...
Just about every vendor that I've seen implement this has done it slightly different.

I figured a way to do it with A correlatives and wrote to him. He wrote back and said the challenge was to use F correlatives, and even though I had figured out a way, I didn't win the CIGAR. He also thanked me and told me he was going to tell everyone he knew that there was now a way. It took three dicts: one to do a boolean comparison to value mark (leaves a 1 for every value mark found) the second to do a summation of previous step + 1 the third to do a index of the previous step on the attr to arrive at the last value of the attr Now it's a piece of cake to do in just about any version with all the additions that have been done.

RE: [U2] SAP Migration
Hey Kebbon, I've done this before and basically what the diff is between sql and mv is the mv's. So let's say you have an order, and on that order are order lines. sql will only be able to handle the single value data from the order and that would go into one ascii file. The order lines would need to be broken down into their own records in a separate file. The first field of each line would be order*line.nbr, and then the rest of the single value info for that line would be the rest of the record - tab delimited. If there was multiple delivery data for each line in a sub-valued-group, that too would then need to be broken down into it's own file with the first field being order*line*delivery. When this gets sucked up into SQL the first field becomes the index that points to a record number in a file where the rest of the data is. Good old ISAM(stinky old ISAM actually) What I did was to write a program that would analyze the dicts for each file and pull them into groups of groups using the associated field (this was on a database where the dicts where actually maintained specifically so it would be SQL compliant). Then after manually reviewing this document with the conversion team, we'd decide which fields were needed and I would then tweak the output from the groups of groups file setting flag to note it needed to be included and what order it was to be in - like if it was to be the third field then I'd put in a 3, even though it might have been the attr in the original file. Then run another program that would build the INCLUDES for the fields that were needed and then stick that into a skeleton program, and run another program to tweak the file names in the skeleton program so it would be specific to the file being downloaded and in the order desired. This allowed me to only write a few programs, so that once the decision was made as to what fields to include and their order, I just had to do a little data entry, run a few routines and bingo, download completed. Even so it took months to go through the motions to create all the programs. Since they were in their own library, I then wrote a program that would read that library and execute all the programs in sequence so that on the cutoff date the operator wouldn't be able to forget anything. It was a lot more work for the guys on the SQL side. Three guys had to be hired to put all the stuff into the SQL files that I was creating from the MV side. So much for *upgrading* their database. You'd think they would have gotten a clue that they were spending three times as much to convert TO the new database as it took to convert FROM the old database, but no. hth, Allen E.

It also has a very nifty screen generator that creates a windows screen for data entry. I never got around to using it but I have a friend that has done some wonderful stuff with it.

I am an old Pick database programmer, and Pick has done virtualization since the 1970s. The Pick OS will load and run on just about any platform, including Microsoft's. It uses built-in tools to create one of the easiest-to-use and most versatile 3D relational database models on the market. Yet, it never merits mention in any of the mainstream media periodicals. Just about every buzzword and acronym you guys punch out every month, Pick has been doing since bell-bottoms and afro hairdos were in style. All the techno-weenies out there owe a great deal of what's happening in their careers to this venerable OS, yet I'll bet less than 5% have ever heard of it. Had Dick Pick not passed away in the mid-1990s, things might have been different today.

[U2] Cumulative Trouble in paradise
Hello, I was just wondering if anyone else had run into this and knew *why* Unidata version 6.1 was doing it... I was requested to add a cumulative total to a Uniquery report. So after editing a subroutine to do so, and running it I found some odd quirk. If I make one pass with a sort and breaks, Unidata calls the subroutine during the sort of the data, and does not call it during the display. If I do a select first on the non-subroutine data, and then output the data using a list, it calls the subroutine during output. I found this out by just putting PRINT 'SUBROUTINE' into the SUBR and running it both ways to see if I was loosing my mind or what???!!! And I know it's calling it during the sort because when I added the frame color to the output it was in unsorted order. The dict item that calls the SUBR is Frame_Color_Cum_Qty. I can sort of understand that Unidata might be calling the subroutine during sorting, IF the dict item was involved in the sort. But it's not! And just in case someone thinks it might be just a display oddity, when I process the entire file it prints SUBROUTINE 136 times before any of the Uniquery display occurs, and never prints it even once during the output. Where as with the SELECT/LIST combo it displays it during output all the way through the output. I know what to do to get the report running now, but was just curious if anyone else had run into this? I also included the SUBR in case someone wants to see that. It's at the bottom of the message after the two samples of output. (Oh, and this is already so long, please remember to snip any responses so the low bandwidth people won't hate me!) First example where the result is not correct due to the calling of the SUBR during sort, and not during output: SUBROUTINE SUBROUTINE SUBROUTINE SORT FLAT.SHD BY Frame_Color BREAK.ON Frame_Color TOTAL Qty Frame_Color_Cum_Qty 14:00:15 Feb 25 2008 1 Cumulative FLAT.SHD..

RE: [U2] Cumulative Trouble in paradise
Hi Adrian, Guess it just works in Universe! I have no problem with using the select then the list. I had to move the code from a report generator source to hand written 'cus the report generator tries to do it all in one pass. But that's ok, since I had to do that anyway 'cus the standard report was doing the BY.EXP thang, and I had to write a small program to flatten it first so the cumulative thing would work. So I had to remove it from the report generator anyway so I could add the program to the proc and it won't disappear if someone rebuilds the library. Man, all this work for one little field.

In Unidata you can use multiple WITH (OR WHEN) verbs in a statement. Example.

If you have multiple associated multi-valued fields, you can restrict which multivalues display using WHEN. For example: LIST ORDERS ITEM QTY PRICE WHEN QTY GT 10 Assuming ITEM, QTY and PRICE are associated, the result will only show those lines whose quantity is greater than 10. To answer Russ's original question: I don't think UniVerse supports BETWEEN, but the following may work (it works in UniData): SELECT FILE WITH ANY QTY = 1000 AND WITH ANY QTY = 2000 The ANY keyword examines each value independently. If you use WITH QTY = ... Then the entire QTY attribute (which may look like 2500}2500}300) is evaluated.

RE: [U2] Stringing commands together on the command line. Possible?
The way that I've always used to string commands together 'on the fly' would be to build a proc inside your program based on what you want to do and write it out to a PL file, and then create a voc that pointed to it, and then CHAIN to that. At the end of your proc you could have it CHAIN back to your calling program or what ever you wanted. Instead of creating the voc, you might get away with just using the RUN command, but I'm not really sure about that without experimenting first. But looks like you *really* got the answer you wanted.

Allen,
In your example, you use a variable in an EQUATE statement. This
references the variable's pointer, not its value. So the code:
TEMP = CHANGE('A.B.D.M.S.V','.',@VM)
EQU VALID.CC.TYPES TO TEMP
TEMP = SOMETHINGELSE ;* change TEMP's value
DISPLAY VALID.CC.TYPES
will display SOMETHINGELSE, not the valid cc types as intended.

Subject: [U2] curious EQUATE issue - SOLVED Just want to know if anyone
understands WHY?
One of our end users started getting the printer on (AccuTerm - this prints
everything you do to the printer and keeps it attached to your session so no
one else can print) last week. One of our other programs, found the reason
was he'd changed some equated statements from having the actual value of the
value mark and subvalue mark to @VM and @SVM.
Example: EQU VALID.CC.TYPES TO 'A}B}D}M}S}V' was changed to EQU
VALID.CC.TYPES TO 'A':@VM:'B':@VM:'D':@VM:'M':@VM:'S':@VM:'V'
The locates that previously worked on stopped working on the new equ values
causing the whole string that related to that value to be sent back to the
user. Somehow this whole string when it was displayed to the screen turned
on
the printer on function.
The other programmer did several example different locate types in a test
program and all but one failed on the new value that used the @VM and all
worked with the old equate.
So, we all said HUH???, he changed it back and the program is now working
properly again.
Just wanting to know, does anyone have an explanation for this?

Not having Windows desktops on the client side causes a severe reduction in available software. There is no business argument endorsing $0.00 for gvim versus $20 for Accuterm when it closes the door on incredible productivity tools like WED. We MV people have chosen to NOT follow the traditional SQL-based family of databases. That's our choice. To go to a non-popular desktop that you have just causes a continuous hunt for open-source/freeware with all of the unsupported languages and techniques. I'm not pro-corporate (Big Blue, IBM, MS etc) in this regard and just follow the trends like uninformed sheep. But the situation you describe will only get worse as everyone depends on their peers for advanced products instead of those that are capable of delivering (and supporting) their products. I'd be hard pressed to find someone as fully well versed in all things MV AND Microsoft as Peter Schellenbach. He probably looked at the unix DESKTOP and from a business sense concluded that these 'do it yourselfers' (No flames please) won't spend money on a 'nix variant of Accuterm so why bother. Don't you unix guys have MS emulators in your world of freeware that Accuterm could run on? You get what you pay for.

I checked their website www.asent.com to see if the platforms were represented but didn't see them. I know that it works on UV/Unix and D3/NT and Mvbase/NT, and UV/SCO. Microdata and most natives will be too slow for WED. If you connect to the MV database with COM1 or telnet or SSH then you're covered. Lotsa times software like this has an environment variable or installation choice that decides which MV it's connected to. For WED it may not mattter as much so it's wide open. GED and the subroutines may be more picky although I don't know how different it may be. It's a great, all-in-one package...Windows Editing, Graphical designer for Data/Basic and great emulator. Plus at $20 per seat vs $200 for other emulators, it's practically free. My free cents.

RE: [U2] Internal Cache in Unidata
This is a normal feature of the O/S not Unidata. Both Unix and Windows attempt to load files into memory based on last use. Making it VERY hard to test file access methods..! -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Jeffrey Butera Sent: Monday, September 24, 2007 05:34 To: u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org Subject: [U2] Internal Cache in Unidata Can anyone speak factually about internal cache in Unidata? In short... I often look at performance and attempt to improve things by changing queries, using indicies, rewriting source and so on. In doing so I perform timing and consistently note that the second time a query is performed, it executes considerably faster than the first. As an example, here's the first execution of a series of queries: SELECT H08.CR.DIV.DATA WITH XCDD.HAMP.CMTE.MEMBER=0202736 time=18ms SELECT H08.CR.DIV.DATA WITH XCDD.DIV EQ D2 time=988ms SELECT H08.CR.DIV.DATA WITH XCDD.REV EQ P time=5ms And then immediately peforming these again: SELECT H08.CR.DIV.DATA WITH XCDD.HAMP.CMTE.MEMBER=0202736 time=18ms SELECT H08.CR.DIV.DATA WITH XCDD.DIV EQ D2 time=9ms SELECT H08.CR.DIV.DATA WITH XCDD.REV EQ P time=5ms To be clear - the difference between 988ms and 9ms is not a typo, it's real. Likewise this is not the result of server load. I can consistently reproduce the above scenario with different queries at different times of the day (and wee hours of the morning with few users). I'm not complaining - it's a perfectly good feature - it's just hard to get accurate timings on things so I often perform queries numerous times and dump the first few executions. Of course, this isn't reality as many queries only get executed once in a blue moon... -- Jeff Butera, Ph.D. Administrative Systems Hampshire College [EMAIL PROTECTED] 413-559-5556 But Mom - Daddy knows everything.
