Re: [U2] Unix mail server?
Here's a high-level view of what I'm envisioning: 1. Our Unidata application sends an email to the outside world, giving the recipient certain options. 2. The recipient hits REPLY, types a few characters and hits SEND. 3. Our rs/6000 receives the email and put it somewhere. 4. Our Unidata application could periodically check that somewhere for received mail and do whatever with it. Thanks for your responses so far.

RE: [U2] [UD] Possible causes of corrupt data on a UniData static file
Can UniData TRIGGERS be problematic? In the past, I wrote a trigger that would launch a UniData function that would (eventually) generate XML with a UniQuery statement, then POST the XML using submitRequest to a secure site, take the XML that was returned in the RESPONSE.DATA parameter and write it somewhere - all before finishing the original trigger that called this stuff. That never caused corruption. Am I near any limits or anything that you are aware of? Are there any known issues with UPDATE triggers that write to records that have UPDATE triggers? Thanks. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Wally Terhune Sent: Thursday, November 01, 2007 5:14 PM To: u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org Subject: Re: [U2] [UD] Possible causes of corrupt data on a UniData static file I wrote previously: UniBasic does not prevent you from writing out a record or ID with char(0) imbedded.

[U2] [UD] Possible causes of corrupt data on a UniData static file
Hello, I have been getting corrupt data lately. Stuff like this: sort: warning: first character of the record is '\0' discard it! sort: warning: the record contain '\0' character, discard it! sort: warning: the record contain '\0' character, discard it! sort: warning: the record contain '\0' character, discard it! sort: warning: the record contain '\0' character, discard it! sort: warning: the record contain '\0' character, discard it! sort: warning: the record contain '\0' character, discard it! Are there any programming no-no's that could cause stuff like this, for instance: 1. Putting logic in an UPDATE trigger that calls a UniData function that run a UniQuery statement that creates XML, then writes that XML to a file (to be HTTP transmitted later by a separate background task). 2. Putting logic in an UPDATE trigger that compares the prior record to the one about to be written, then updates a log file if the records are different. 3. Four separate indexes on a file. I'm getting desperate. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated! Thanks. Ed __ This e-mail has been scanned by MCI Managed Email Content Service, using Skeptic(tm) technology powered by MessageLabs.

[U2] Cordless Barcode Scanner for a WYSE-55
We have been using the Symbol LS3070's for years and it's time to start replacing them. When we originally tried the 3070's we found that the serial interface was far faster than the keyboard interface. Now they tell me that keyboard interfaces in general are much faster. The ONLY new equipment out there, that I can find, that looks to be friendly with the WYSE-55 is the PowerScan 7000BT http://www.scanning.datalogic.com/html/ps7000bt.htm This uses a keyboard interface. Does anyone out there have any experience or advice they can share? (Replacing the WYSE-55's with PC's in not an option at this time...) Thanks. Ed Burwell CASIO AMERICA, INC. 570 Mt.

[U2] [UD] Union Query
Has anyone developed or know of a way to do the equivalent of a UNION query in UniData? I have 2 files, one is a daily file and the other is a monthly file. At night the daily records get moved into the monthly file and the daily file gets cleared. At month-end, the monthly data gets moved into a history file and the monthly file gets cleared. You know the drill. Both files are structured identically and share the same dictionary. I would love to do something like: SORT DAILY.FILE AND MONTHLY.FILE WITH DATE = 5/1 BY DATE DATE PART.NUMBER DESCRIPTION BIN TOTAL QTY I stared writing a program called UNION.SORT that I would use instead of SORT. Parsing the Uniquery statement started to get hairy (and I don't have that much time to devote to this) so I put it down. If REFORMAT or SREFORMAT had a way to move the entire record into the new file instead of just the dicts listed, I'd be home free. I also don't want to re-write our application to populate the monthly file at the same time we populate our daily file (then just clear the daily file at night). Any ideas, suggestions?
