unix generally keeps track of time as number of seconds past midnight
GMT, Jan 1, 1970.
Is there a conversion code to convert that to from external date
time?
If not, have you already written a custom conversion care to share?
(I am NOT asking how to roll my own. I just don't want to do so
Sorry, no cigar.
That's not a conversion code that you can stick in 3 of a dictionary
D-item, or 7 of an A-item. Or as second argument of either, nay, both

Have a look at http://www.pickwiki.com/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?DateUtility .
DateUtility(parseEpochTime,intTimeStamp) will return U2
Date Time based on the local machine time zone.
Now that's rich. There's a lot there.
Looks like maybe good

Why not write a user conversion code that does this
calculation as a Uname conversion?
That's what I was asking, if anyone already did it.
I'd prefer it to be flexible enough to allow various oconv formats and
to iconv various strings.
Triggers would be nice, but the'd have to work on type19 files.
Modifying ED is simple, but you might want to wrap other verbs, so
generalized wrapper pgm is good. Protect the vanilla versions of ED,
DELETE, UPDATE.RECORD, REVISE as 'remote-controlled' R-items that will

P.S. Last week I said REPLACE() instead of CHANGE() in the

I've corrected it ( i.e., CHANGE( 'REPLACE()', 'CHANGE()', MSGBODY ) )

Don't use CONVERT! Example:

But it's great for things like:
LINE = PRINT.ARRAYLINE.CTR
CONVERT @VM:0.- TO IN LINE
IF LINE # THEN
GOSUB PRINT.LINE
END
I stand corrected. I don't
and just cuz no one mentioned it ( not cuz it's better than UPCASE()
DOWNCASE() ),
CONVERT does character for character swapping:
CONVERT 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz' TO 'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ'
in ANYSTR
and
CONVERT 'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ' TO 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz'
in

Kevin,
We had the same problem when migrating UV from DEC in one data center to
HP managed in another data center, even though it was a honking big HP.
The sys admins configured memory memory similar to how their 20 other
unix machines were set up. The trick was to configure most memory for

Can somebody help me with the syntax of EVAL. I want to execute a

Various ways to do this. Try...

where F16 and F17 are field names from the dictionary.

Is there a way to assign a justification to an EVAL item
other than having it use the justification of a field used in
the formula? I know you can assign different formatting and
conversion.
The justification is assigned in the FMT, not independently as you do in

Incidentally, I find the worryingly common practice of
setting all variables to zero / null at the top of a program
very annoying as it hides the very useful unassigned variable
trap, leaving you thinking your program works when actually
it doesn't.
Martin Phillips
Is it technically or theoretically possible for the BASIC
compiler (or any other compiler for that matter) to catch
(during compilation) all the situations that might result in
the use of unassigned variable at runtime within the scope of
the subroutine being compiled?
It's not exactly
ASSIGN.A
BEGIN CASE
CASE A = 1; B = 'Apple'
CASE A = 2; B = 'Orange'
CASE A = 3; B = 'Banana'
CASE 1; B = 'Something is very wrong here!'
END CASE
DISPLAY B
REPEAT

I am looking for a trick to prevent someone (ok, mostly me) from
accidentally activating a file that really should not be activated for
logging.
I have a handful of files, that would bring the system to it's knees and
fill all logs before I could react.
For example, one file contains the current

I love paragraphs ( despise procs, truth be told), but I do wish there

Amit,
You want error messages in the COMO but not on the screen, right?
Use DIVERT.OUT TTY.OFF/TTY.ON
DIVERT.OUT is the more general command. In fast, the COMO verb is
actually a basic program that executes DIVERT.OUT (source in
$UVHOME/uv/BP/COMO_VERB).
Example:
CT CDS.BP BHUTANI
Occasionally RESIZE changes the permissions on a file but usually it
doesn't.
Has anyone else seen this? Do you know the rules about it? Is it a bug?

Speaking of 2GB limits, is there a way to get FAST to change it from one
to the other?
I'd swear I had FAST (v. 5) handle this once, but now I can't find it.
UV's RESIZE has 32BIT 64BIT keywords that FAST could theoretically
use.

I am particularilly interested in knowing whether Universe adapted well
to the new OS version for you. It is certified for both.
But I would be more than happy to know of any 11-11i hiccoughs
unrelated to UV, too.
Thanks,

You can make larger files, but U2 cannot address them, unless
you enable 64-bit addressing
UV *mostly* handled 2GB files, but I had trouble enabling them for UV's
transaction logging.
If I remember, UV used a unix utility - maybe fsync? - that was only
