Re: [U2] Unidata to Universe port
Yes, George you are correct. We use Pick flavor. - Original Message From: jpb-u2ug [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org Sent: Friday, August 15, 2008 9:44:15 AM Subject: RE: [U2] Unidata to Universe port Dave, Been a while since you've used UniVerse? The print job numbers are 6 digits. I have worked on both Unidata and UniVerse and depending on the flavor used the dictionary's can be the same. Since Eugene has been developing with SB+ more than likely he has been using the Pick flavor which would run well on the Universe Pick or Reality flavors. Unidata does have V dictionary items but Universe has I dictionary items which work the same. I think there use to be a conversion program.

INS '' BEFORE VAL1,POS At that time, this worked on all the UniData systems I'd previously worked on but does not work here on UniVerse. We do this to get around it. VAL1,1 = :@VM:VAL1 I am assuming that this occurs on all UniVerse systems but may just be a parameter setup here. I am also assuming that it still works on UniData.

[U2] Unidata to Universe port
Hello: Does any one have any experiences they would be willing to share regarding the effort required to port applications from UniData to Universe? We're currently on Unidata 7.1 We developed our application in an early version of SB+ and UniBasic and have kept current on SB+, so we're now at version 5.4. We've also made use of various connectivity technolgies over time, such as ODBC, OLEDB, and UniObjects. We haven't used the web services or ADO provider yet, but probably will eventually. We are currently running on Windows but a Unix flavor is not out of the question if there is a compelling reason. At this point, I'm just trying to figure out a way to gauge the relative effort, and if there were any surprises, such as better/worse performance, costs, development effort, etc and of course, any gotchas. Also, is it feasible to to code the application in a way that it would work on either platform from the same code base? The reason we're even considering this is because of IBM's decision not to implement NLS in UniData, at least not right away. Of course, we've had conversations with IBM about converting, but would appreciate hearing from any one who has actually done this. thanks in advance.
