RE: [ot] Peoplesoft migrates to Ascential
Great post, Ray -- a few excerpts with questions below. --dawn Dawn M.

(dawn) Yes, I have wondered how the Ardent folks seemed to gain so much control within Informix, so I'd love to hear that story if you are inclined able to fill us in. snip There have been two major releases of DataStage since UniVerse was sold to IBM, versions 6.0 and 7.0. Version 7.1 is due out in a couple of months. It is still recognizably UniVerse under the covers, though there are rumours that a new Engine is under development. We have already seen the beginnings of the likely direction for this in version 7.0, in which there is a component (interlude?) in Orchestrate that allows BASIC code to be executed, by loading the run machine. I suspect (personal opinion/educated guess only) that the new DataStage Engine will not be obviously UniVerse-based, but will continue to be able to do many of the things that UniVerse can do, but not all, and quite a few that UniVerse can't do. (dawn) While it would be accurate currently to add Ascential as a company that has a PICK product dedicated to their application, it sounds like you are suggesting that perhaps after the next release(s) there really will not be any PICK-like component of DataStage? I'm trying to keep as accurate a family tree for PICK as I can, so at the point where the daughter-of-UV component is gone, I'm hoping that you and others will make noise on this list to let us know. snip It is to be hoped that the DataStage engineers (some of whom are ex UniVerse) and the IBM U2 engineers continue to exchange ideas. Ultimately, however, it is not engineers who decide product directions. Recall the Golgafrinchan B Ark. snip (dawn) Nope, that doesn't ring any bells, but sounds like another story, so do tell ...

Re: [UV] TAB characters in ED
Thanks David Phil. And there was I hoping for a something I could rely on without touching the source/configuring various sites. Sounds like ED doesn't have such.

The result of VARIABLE[1,3] + 0
Hi All, What is the correct interpratation of A = '001' B = A[1,3] + 0 PRINT B On UV 9.6 I get 0010 contrary to my expectation of 1. What is the logical explanation of this. Does UV use '+' for string concatenation as well? Then why doesnt '123' + '456' result in '123456' (I get a runtime error)? Regards, MarcoBT Yahoo!

RE: The result of VARIABLE[1,3] + 0
Title: Message Hi Marco, Universe doesn't use the + for concatenation, it uses the : (colon) symbol eg. '123':'456' will result in '123456'. Both these examples come up with the expected results (1 and 579) on version 10.0.2 (UV personal edition, Linux) and also on 10.0.8 on Tru64.

RE: The result of VARIABLE[1,3] + 0
are you looking for a number.. because there may be something else. check for num... then remove the third place ie if num[1,3] then print else error -Original Message-From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]On Behalf Of Marco ManyevereSent: Sunday, February 01, 2004 8:14 PMTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]Subject: The result of VARIABLE[1,3] + 0 Hi All, What is the correct interpratation of A = '001' B = A[1,3] + 0 PRINT B On UV 9.6 I get 0010 contrary to my expectation of 1.
