RE: [U2] How can I find the RIGHT IBM Contact?????
For us, we don't work directly with IBM.. It is all done through a VAR, (the company the system was originally purchased from,, or the company that bought that company etc).

RE: [U2] Programmers and Documenation.
I may not be using the best verbiage.. but I do very much enjoy writing documentation. NOT I believe what is called high-level integrated documentation. I think of that as integrating the new features into a very large and complex documentation manual on the whole system. not my job mon. I do enjoy however witting a 'simple' word document incorporating screen shots and what I hope to be realistic usage/samples of the feature in the terms that the folks in the field would actually relate to. As a single shop here (not having an additional person to do a final QC of the project) I use the documentation phase as a final walkthrough and testing of the project. After putting the delivery onto a new file set as well, this also insures that I got all the pieces onto the delivery :). (yes, no version control here.. lets not get into that discussion again please). In addition I send the documentation to some folks in the field so they can approve of the project before it is installed. They often come up with good suggestions at that time! Doing the documentation cycle really helps me get an overall view of the project and often during this cycle I come up with additional quick bells and whistles that really just pull it all together. Amazing what simple/obvious things I see during this phase that I didn't see when working deep in the detail. I am very happy that even though this is a small shop, I am allowed the time to write up documentation. Many times I doubt that the folks who use the system give the documentation more than a glance. More than once I get a call asking about the new project.. and I answer and 'politely' say.. it is in the document and I get back well, I didn't read the documentation. I grumble under my breath and make my voice smile and hang up the phone quickly. At my previous position where we had a QC team as well as an official documentation team, I was still able to write my documentation for the new features only and it was their job to incorporate it into the big manual. Worked for me :). They would also review it (in the cases where it was pure custom and did not go into the manual) and proof it for verbiage etc to make it a bit more professional sounding. The thing I didn't like about this is the folks who did the documentation new very little about the system and how it was used and the mindset of the folks in the field who actually used it. In addition the QC folks did also QC the documentation which was a good thing. Was their job to understand the project fully :).

RE: [U2] Good Programming Practice Question.........
Two items I have thought of. 1. In addition to putting a modification tag at the top of the code with who/date/what, we also will assign a job number to the mod in addition to a No for the mod. Such as mod 01. Then throughout the code where the changes are made we put a tag such as *01 start and *01 end or, just a single tag at the end of the line if only one or two lines being changed. This makes the changes very easy to search for and spot should there be problems in the new code. 2. Consider when to use a paragraph and when to use a program. Paragraphs (proc) certainly has their uses, but when the paragraph gets to using IF, Case, locate, etc seems time to use a program. For two reasons. One being while paragraphs (at least in SB+) can do a lot, getting it to do everything a program can do can be difficult. If you have an involved paragraph, sooner or later you'll be adding to it and find you can't easily add what you want to add, that it needs to be a program. Second reason being some of the commands are different syntax in a paragraph vs a program, why learn/memorize or have to look up two different syntaxes? --- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/

RE: [U2] Voc pointer not working (fwd)
Thanks for the response Rich. I figured I was only looking at Universe index at
this level, just wanted to be sure. You never know where SB+ puts its little
goodies.
There are Universe level indexes on this file in both live and test. LIST.INDEX
filename ALL when run in the account properly shows them, and SET.INDEX INFORM
shows the proper pathing when in the accounts. Besides.. this is {apparently}
happening on every file with an Index, not just this one file.
I am not 'too' concerned about this as I can see the file in live via this
pointer which is all I absolutely need to do. I'll only be reading the main
file, no access to index, no changing data. I did want to give the process a
good testing through the test account, which it appears I won't be able to do.
We are of course concerned that we don't have index crossing over the live and
test account on the same box. But all the commands {suggested here} I have run
tell me that they are fine. That the process we run when we copy over the
account is correct.
Ps. Seems Mr. Bill Gates needs to get pathing into his dictionary :)

[U2] Voc pointer not working
Hi all. I have a question and hopefully I'll give you all the info you need to answer. Universe 9.4 SB+ 3.4.0 I don't know if SB+ comes into play on this. NT We make a copy of our live account every so often. When doing this we use NT to make the copy and then run it through a universe process so that Universe knows about the account. All works just fine, we have been doing this for years. What I just am now doing is creating a VOC pointer on a different machine (our testing machine which happens to be w2k) and pointing over to Universe files in the copied account. The pointer works fine on some files and not so fine on other. It works fine on all files in the Live account, it is the copy of the account it doesn't work in. The trigger here seems to be files that have I_ folders on them, Index Map?. We are of the mind that when we copy the account over, some pointer is not being re-set in these files/index maps. That we are failing to run a routine when we first copy the account. This voc pointer works fine on the original 'live' account and fine on files in the test account that don't have this I-folder. We checked permissions, sharing and all those goodies. Don't see any reason there for this. And again, it works on (apparently) all files without the I-xx and doesn't work on all files with one. What are we missing?

RE: [U2] Auditors and sequential numbers
When I was involved in a audit he wanted proof of missing invoice numbers. 15 years ago. I kinda laughed we didn't have the proof at that time, and from then forward we kept the printed 'voided' invoice (for invoices that printed incorrectly) in the numerical paper file. But as a programmer I know it would take me nothing at all to simply duplicate a voided invoice. And even in times when the printer jammed... we had no choice but to fake the missing invoice numbers. Really seemed pointless to me. He wouldn't take the printed sales journal with the missing numbers on it for proof, he wanted a paper invoice with the number on it and void written on it. This was a system where we did the data entry for the invoice, (batch) printed the invoices, CHECKED them manually, voided any that were wrong and THEN ran the update.

RE: [U2] Dymanic vs Dimenssioned
I am by far from a 'smart person'. But when I was first learning I was told if you were only going to use values in the first few a/m or if was simply a short item, less than 10 or so a/m then you can use dynamic. Anything more than that use dimensioned. If you are going to use say a/m 50 and you use a dynamic array, every time it actually has to start at 1 and work through to find 50. Were if you use a dimensioned array it will go straight to (50). I was shown a nifty table when learning this where it showed all the values the program uses being put into buckets. If you use a dynamic read, it all goes into one bucket. If you use Dimensioned it each goes into it's own bucket. This is my 'simple' minded understanding. I am sure many more answers will be posted on this topic. Thanks, Marilyn A.

Maybe the Smart People on this list can give a good rule of thumb for deciding when to READU/WRITE vs. MATREADU/MATWRITE. After all these years, I still don't have one. From: Richard Taylor We are faced with this same situation and the thought behind this truly baffles me. I will admit to some of the same bafflement. Why take a flexible, dynamic database system The syntax for dynamic arrays is more natural for the language, too (e.g., XYZ(17)1,5 vs. XYZ17,5). Readability makes for maintainability, generally the most important contributor to software quality. and force it to be fixed length. well, sorta. Each element of the dimensioned array is a variable length dynamic array. ( See my previous post for how to complicate your life by inserting attribute marks. ) This is what you are doing using dimensioned arrays and MATREADs. The most common justification I have heard is performance and this simply does not hold water. Within limits (but I don't know the limits). If you have a program that manipulates many attributes many times, then it makes sense to matread them into a dimensioned array up front, and matwrite them in the end, thereby limiting big string manipulations. People forget or newbies don't know that CUST.REC117 is really EXTRACT( CUST.REC, 117,0,0) or REPLACE(...,CUST.REC,117,0,0). That can be very expensive when you do that for many attributes many times, with large dynamic arrays. By contrast, each dimensioned array element has its own memory address, so references and assignments can jump straight to it. But I do not have a good appreciation for what limits, many, big really mean in my previous paragraph. Does anyone have a good heuristic? I started in Pick in R83 and have never used a dimensioned array to hold record structure and I have not seen performance issues. This to the extent that we ran an MRP run on a 286 Wyse PC that choked the mainframe at this company. Ah-ha, my dear Watson, then you don't really know how that system would have screamed if you'd used dimensioned arrays instead, do you? The more they complicate the plumbing the easier it is to stop up the drain Yeah. What I said about dynamic array syntax being more natural. cds P.S. Why are we limited to 1- or 2-dimensioned arrays? E.g., DIM XYZ( 5,10,2,3,8 ) would be a 5-dimensional array. --- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/ --- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/

I don't do Unidata, but if there are such things as procs in Unidata - which
I take it there are from reading Allen Elwood's reply - you could also
simply execute the program from a proc using the proc 'PH' command which
hushes all output that would normally to the screen.
Example proc:
001 PQ
002 HRUN PROGRAM.FILENAME PROGRAM.ITEMNAME
or
002 HPROGRAM.ITEMNAME (to execute the program if it's compiled catalogued
there is an executable verb for it)
003 PH
the PH command should hush all output to terminal - sweet simple.
below is some info on the proc ph command.
proc.ph: (Command) Process output buffers with hush.
Applicable release versions: AP, R83
Category PROC (92)
Description processes the command(s) in the currently active output
buffer(s) and hushes terminal output. Output which would normally go to
the screen is turned off.
Alternatively - if you are running this program/job as a phantom process and
wan't to take the time effort, you could do something like this...
PHANTOM.FLAG = @SYSTEM(25) ; *this returns a '1' of process is running as a
phantom, otherwise returns a '0'
then, for every print @(x,y) statement, do
IF NOT(PHANTOM.FLAG) THEN PRINT @(X,Y)
hope this helps.

RE: [U2] [UV] making 00001 our of 1
That is until you have to add a line and the new lines words are longer which means all the old lines need to be spaced out.. I have better things to do with my time :). I try to follow any acceptable pattern that is already there when changing existing code. But beyond 'tabbing' in if/end statements that are nested and adding simple comments to me anything else is really just a way to spend time.

Not being conclusive, but often times the code looks nice but there's way too much 'air' in the program at the expense of being better in the logic area. Certainly I've not read everyone's code. But what I've seen over the years has taught me that when I see grandness, that grandness takes a 200 line program and makes it 700. Case in point: *** * * OPEN MD FILE * *** OPEN ,MD TO F.MD ELSE ERRMSG=CANNOT OPEN THE MD FILE. PLEASE CONTACT YOUR PROGRAMMER GOSUB 9 STOP END * * * OPEN PRODUCT FILE * * OPEN ,PRODUCT TO F.PRODUCT ELSE ERRMSG=CANNOT OPEN THE PRODUCT FILE. PLEASE CONTACT YOUR PROGRAMMER GOSUB 9 STOP END * * END OF OPENING FILES * What gets me is the time spent to make the asterisks match the length of the comments. I see your variable assignment style a lot yet if a new variable were needed, say CUSTOMER.LAST.SALE.DATE = would you re-indent all of the other variables just to look pretty? (I don't mean pretty in a derogatory way, I mean to spend your time and the client's $ for something that really doesn't matter) I know that there are some system-generated source code 4GL's that may create the comments for you. But I can see past that with the inconsistent content of the actual code. There is a command which escapes me now that formats source code (not necessarily databasic) in the editor to match old-school BAL programming. I've tripped over it by accident and then lose my changes as I EXit and then re-edit to not have all the 'air'. Some could argue that a 200 line program becoming 700 could fall under the concept of standardized programming or making it easier for the next guy. Well, I'm that 'next guy' plenty of times and since it's very inconsistent, it's certainly not a standard. I could write a book on the wide variety of programming 'standards' I've inherited and the ineffeciencies found. It's unfortunate that in my travels the grandness happens to have a related brother of reduced logic and a more brute force approach. It's just harder to research with all of that clutter.

Or... Did I misunderstand yet another e-mail. Haha JK Thanks, Scott -- Original message -- Spacing is overly grand? Though I can't cite specifics, I do recall a study done several years ago that talked about the ergonomic value of whitespace in code. At the risk of misquoting, it seems the brain interprets whitespace as a natural terminator when reading through code, and makes it easier to interpret variable names like ASDTFY or DRT. By contrast, the brain has to manually interpret = as a terminator (and the next statement) and it slows down the overall comprehension. ASDTFY = DRT = When the brain sees the first space after the variable, it understands that the previous whatever-it-is is complete. Then when it sees the equal symbol it can comprehend the meaning of the symbol independently of the variable. Secondly, when assignments (and the like) are aligned like this it tends to reinforce the relationship between the variables, which may be otherwise indirect. By contrast: ASDTFY= DRT= When the brain sees the = after the variable, it has to first sort out an ambiguity. Is this the termination of what was shown prior, or something new? In truth, it's both, and then both have to be processed as equal priority until the brain can establish any other form of precedence to establish which is more important. This is then complicated by the fact that one must read to the end of the statement to determine there is no additional context for establishing precedence, which only complicates the mental process to a greater degree. Also, by having no alignment, there is no relationship implied in the variables, even though they are being assigned in tandem. This further reinforces the ambiguity. So in summary, you can write code as compact as you wish, but understand you do so at the risk of self-imposed (and otherwise unnecessary) mental strain. -Kevin [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.PrecisOnline.com -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, March 03, 2005 4:57 AM To: u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org Subject: Re: [U2] [UV] making 1 our of 1 Mark, I'm one of those programmers who use the overly grand way of spacing you describe.

At the VAR I worked, this was against the rules of course.. to put a different version of the program with the same name in a different file other than the original.. But a perfect world it is not. We had to deal with existing situations like this. When we did have to re-compile/catalog systems we had a very strict order to do them in so that the 'custom' BP files would go last and the catalog/voc would override the base BP one. Recompiling/cataloging is bound to be needed sooner or later with system server moves and/or upgrades of U2 etc. On systems I was particularly paranoid about I would do lists/compares to find the items in multiple BP files and determine manually which one was the current one (and hopefully get the ok to delete/rename the old one).

Not really consistent tho, as when I have only 1 include it isn't off. I have just learned to live with this and to use crts when needed to 'debug' the program when it has lots of includes in it. When I reported it, of course the answer was to upgrade, which we aren't prepared to do at this time. Thanks, Marilyn A.

RE: [U2] UV Pre-printed forms
I would like to add that we don't need a new memory cartridge using this method every time we change forms. They send the revised form to us via email and a simple run of QuickLaser puts the revised form onto the printer. The down side is if you have multiple printers it is an additional expense to have each printer have the memory chip/cartridge to hold the forms. In addition, you cannot instantly change your forms, you have to wait for RXLaser to change it, although their turnaround time is just a few days and since all is done via email it isn't too difficult to manage form changes.

In Unidata we used it to check if a file was already opened to save on opening it up again. Thanks, Marilyn A.

RE: [U2] Can I change VOCLIB to DIR type file?
Rather than changing voclib. Why not just create a new dir type file which will have all the advantages listed and use the new file (directory) in the R pointers in voc. Thanks, Marilyn A.

The idea is to keep your VOC as small and as RESIZE friendly as posisble for performance reasons. Ideally you would put any items that are more than a few lines long into the VOCLIB rather than your VOC and use a R pointer in your VOC to access the VOCLIB items. gerry - Original Message - From: Barry Brevik [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, November 16, 2004 03:03 pm Subject: RE: [U2] Can I change VOCLIB to DIR type file? Clif, how many items are typically in your VOCLIB? Just wondering if there's a not recommended past x size consideration to keep in mind? I'm not intending to hijack the thread, but what is the intended purpose of the VOCLIB file? I have one in each Universe account, but in each case it has 0 records.

RE: [U2] Printing an RTF file from Universe
What We do here, using SB+ reports is the logo and/or form layout is saved on the hp-laser printer memory. And we issue commands from sb+ to print that from the printers memory, then print the data as normal. Thanks, Marilyn A.

However, for this particular job, a couple of logos are part of the document as well and we would like to be able to print them. It is possible to print logos directly from UniVerse/UniData using PCL coding - it's not very straightforward, however. I developed code here to print our corporate logo on all checks and invoices. We use UniData 5.2 on AIX 5.1, but I needed a PC to format the logo originally. Here's an outline of the procedure. On the PC, I saved the logo as a Monochrome Bitmap, since it's the easiest format to convert to raster data. I transferred that file to the AIX system and extracted the raster data. I converted the data to a UniData item that could be stored, and use a MATREAD to retrieve it. My BASIC code uses PCL Macros and Raster Graphics to output the logo. I then execute the macro as needed. This is very efficient on multiple document runs, like our checks and monthly statements, since the logo is sent to the printer once, and a six-character PCL command reprints it. There are a few glitches. Between the multi-value delimiters and some of the printer processing, I had to break the image up and send it in two passes. The first pass prints the left four bits of each byte, and the second pass prints the right four bits. This way I avoid sending values that are reinterpreted by the printer. I had to use macros for the same reason.
