Re: Using OpenOffice with UniVerse/Unidata - request for U2 users to be involved
Thanks to Farrel for responding to my plea and for the contact details of other users. I don't think this is a good move...MS-Office is bloatware, and as MS patents it's XML formats (the Patent Office is so stoopid! Tomorrow, I will patent Air, and start charging everyone on Earth usage fees!), many may move away from it, if only for interoperablity sake. But that's just my personal opinions. This is crazy; IBM may believe that OOo does'nt meet users requirements but that does'nt gel with our experience. I'm faced by UniVerse customers who want to get away from Microsoft, read about IBMs commitment to Linux, which I don't for a minute doubt, but I cannot offer an alternative to MS Office where the users need to use reporting tools similar to MSQuery because ODBC drivers from IBM for U2 products on Linux are not available and the JDBC does'nt quite work with OOo. To get around this, we're still using StarOffice 5.2 which supports ODBC 2.0, but only on Windows PCs. Firstly, the performance of OOo is really good and we have not been able to match it with MS Office on a thin-client platform. At a customer site we have successfully migrated 45 users onto a single Intel-based server running Linux and OpenOffice for thin-client based users. This includes those users who have the RTC syndrome (resistance to change) like the executive secretaries and personal assistants. Whatever functionality may be missing in OOo that is in MS Office is obviously not used. This includes receiving and sending MS Office documents (Excel, Word, Powerpoint) to the corporate head-office who have inplemented MS Office. The server also acts as the browser server for 20 users, print and file services for the other 35 Windows users who are still to be converted and telnet server for the 45 users who access UniVerse applications running on IBM pSeries 615 from their low-end P1 133 Mhz PC-based thin clients. Secondly, You can already run MSOffice as well as IE6 on Linux under Wine and can install it easily with crossover from Codeweavers, and the performance in a thinclient environment is reasonable but does not compare to OOo on Linux - we've tried MS Office/IE; it works. We've even installed Dynamic Connect on Linux with some success. The third issue is the cost of implementing,upgrading,licensing MS Office. A thin client solution using MS tools (Win2000/RTS licences,MS Office licences etc) is horrendous; but porting MS Office to Linux will only eliminate the OS/RTS level licencing but you'll still have to pay good money for MS Office. The point is that there is an excellent alternative and IBM could make the implementation of U2 products more cost-effective for users by ensuring that the interfaces (ODBC,JDBC etc) actually work with non-MS systems, for example what about supporting Lotus Approach - is'nt it still their product. If IBM support MSOffice on Linux will the client tools, UniDK etc,. for the U2 products be ported to Linux as well - probably not at a guess, which pretty much leaves the U2 community committed to an MS desktop environment. What about the porting of UniVerse/UniData to Linux on the pSeries. Ian Stuart -- u2-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.oliver.com/mailman/listinfo/u2-users

Re: COUNT modifying unix timestamp
Actually, it was added in during release 7.x of uniVerse to support the SQL optimizer. The optimizer used the count to make a determination on how long it would take to perform certain SQL operations such as outer-joins, etc, and spit out a warning message something like It will take 4307 hours to perform this operation. Do you want to continue?. At first, only an unqualified COUNT command (i.e. COUNT FILE) would update this field, but sometime in early 8.x releases, I added the code into uvbackup/uvrestore so that it would also update this field. That was quite a few years ago so I don't have the exact timeframes, but there ya go Glenn At 04:54 AM 02/17/2004, Martin Phillips wrote: Apologies if I missed anyone already giving this explanation...

UniVerse and Backup Exec
I am running: UniVerse 10.0.17 Windows 2000 SP 4 Veritas Backup Exec: Media Server Admin. Console: Ver 9.00 Rev 4454 My Application Event Log has been showing an unusually high number of UniVerse errors. Since I am an end user I can't go directly to IBM and must go through my VAR. I placed a call with my VAR and sent them a text copy of my application event log. The response was that IBM said I should uninstall Backup Exec because they have had 250 calls where the problem with UniVerse was resolved after removing Veritas Backup Exec. I am stuck between a rock and a hard place now. IBM says I should uninstall my backup software. The administrator that is responsible for backup systems for our corporation is resistant to allowing me to do this, however. He says that we will not uninstall Backup Exec unless IBM can tell us specifically what the incompatibility is between it and UniVerse. The main reasons for his stance are that the event log errors are all labeled UniVerse errors (none are labeled as Backup Exec errors) and the errors occur around the clock, not just when Backup Exec is running. I had asked my VAR to request specifics regarding the incompatibility issue from IBM but either they or IBM must have figured that the numbers spoke for themselves because I was not given a reason. (or possibly they don't know the reason) Can anyone out there help me? Does anybody know what the incompatibilities are between Veritas Backup Exec and UniVerse? I tend to lean towards following IBM's recommendations but just in case... Has anyone found a way to run the two where application event errors do not occur? I also requested a recommendation of other backup software from them and was not given one. If anyone has a recommendation of UV compatible backup software that I can run on Windows, I'd appreciate it. Thanks in advance for any help you can offer! Gwen Buck Gaska Tape Inc.

Unidata ODBC initial setup error - Run out of ideas!!!
Hi, Although I'm an old hand at Unidata and UniBasic, I'm a newbie to ODBC. I am trying to set up an ODBC link to my Unidata 6.0 database, using the Unidata ODBC driver that came with 6.0, to use in a VB.net application I'm writing. All seems to be set properly, but if I try to do a test of my connection by going to Excel and doing Data/Get External Data/New Database Query from the menu, I always get an error saying Non-numeric found when numeric required. Here's what I've done to this point: I've modified the uni.config file on the AIX 5.1.server. I'm creating a schema for the file using the VSG program included with Unidata 6.0. I'm picking the file from the list of files, assigning ALL permissions to PUBLIC. I'm creating a view and schema using all fields (I have tried with only the text fields). My test file (1NF format) has fields of Name (25L Text), Town (25L Text) Code (8R Number Conv=MR0). My @ID is a number (3 records: 1, 2 3). Valid data in each field. I've tried the @ID field with and without a Conv of MR0. With the MR0, VSG calls it an integer. Without the MR0, VSG calls it a VARCHAR. I get no errors while creating the schema in VSG, and I do see all the 'D' type dictionary fields in VSG, so it appears that it's not a network related error. I'm creating a link to the database in Windows XP Pro (and Win2000 Pro) - Administration Tools - Data Sources. There isn't much to configure here, and I think it's all set up ok.

RE: D3 and use of compares on indices
Well -- the key is indexed...and so is the date field so the caveat does not apply in this case -- more likely the elusive version 8 is the answer -- Debster -- From Lee Bacall: A bit of a caveat in making selects against indexed keys may be helpful... If one is doing a select against a file with an indexed key, as: SELECT YOURFILE WITH YOURKEY = YOURREQUEST will build a select list against only those records containing the key data YOURREQUEST If, on the other hand if one is doing a select against a file (even when all requested criteria are indexed) as: SSELECT YOURFILE WITH FIRSTKEY = YOURREQUEST AND WITH SECONDKEY = OTHERSTUFF AND WITH THIRDKEY = ABC BY FIRSTKEY BY SECONDKEY BY THIRDKEY The entire file (at least in D3 and jBASE) will be stepped through / searched, WITHOUT the benefit of using keys. Here is some methodology that we have developed to: 1. clarify the building and maintenance of select statements 2. ensure that keys are used to reduce system resource requirements EQU TRUE TO 1, FALSE TO 0 Sel = failure = FALSE cmd = \SELECT YOURFILE WITH FIRSTKEY = FIRSTTHINGIE\ Sel1,-1=cmd * cmd = \SELECT YOURFILE WITH SECONDKEY=SECONDTHINGIE\ Sel1,-1=cmd * *where thirdkey may be a non-indexed element cmd=\SELECT YOURFILE WITH THIRDKEY=YOUGETTHEPICTURE\ Sel1,-1=cmd * *Now, order the list cmd=\SSELECT YOURFILE BY FIRSTKEY BY SECONDKEY BY THIRDKEY\ * max=DCOUNT(Sel1,@VM) FOR z = 1 TO max UNTIL failure EXECUTE Sel1,z CAPTURING messages failure=NOT(SYSTEM(11)) NEXT z IF NOT(failure) THEN GOSUB DoYourThing ;! not shown END STOP. This will ensure that btree keys will be used to make the initial list selections. The non-indexed keys would then be used in secondary tiers of the select procedure to reduce the impact of having to step through the entire file. After the selections are made, the list can then be ordered with greatly reduced impact on the system. Any comments?

RE: Unidata ODBC initial setup error - Run out of ideas!!!
What version of the driver do you have? I had similar issues with an old
driver, I now have 3.01.04.7036 which seems to be working OK, I think it is
from the 6.0B Client CD. Although at one time it would work from Access but
not Excel?!?! I'm not sure what's changed (perhaps some MS updates).
The other key thing is the UCI.CONFIG file. If you treat *everything* in
this file as case-sensitive things seem to work a lot easier.
IBM also sent me this tech tip when I had this problem:
Can you check if this TechTip helps solve the problem. It seems to be an
issue with Microsoft Excel.
With the upgrade to Microsoft's ODBC Administrator 3.0 there is a change in
the use of data source definition with the 32 bit data source. Use of
Office 97 or upgrading to Visual Basic 5.0 automatically upgades the 32 bit
ODBC Administrator to 3.0 from the previous 2.0 or 2.5 versions.
Unfortunately, there is a confusing error that is generated from Microsoft
Query/Excel when you try to get external data :
Key value must not contain any of the following characters: []{}(),;?*=!@
After you create the data source as a User DSN, you need to create a
file.dsn text file. In Windows 95/Windows NT in the directory path /Program
Files/Common Files/ODBC/Data Sources.
copy an existing .dsn file (or with any editor create a new one). The file
contains the following:
[ODBC]
DSN=sourcename
(where sourcename is the name of your data source). If your User DSN entry
data source = TSTODBC, then create a file called TSTODBC.dsn or any name
you choose with the .dsn suffix. The text is as above:
[ODBC]

Subject: Unidata ODBC initial setup error - Run out of ideas!!!
Hi,
Although I'm an old hand at Unidata and UniBasic, I'm a newbie
to ODBC.
I am trying to set up an ODBC link to my Unidata 6.0 database,
using the Unidata ODBC driver that came with 6.0, to use in a
VB.net application I'm writing. All seems to be set properly,
but if I try to do a test of my connection by going to Excel
and doing Data/Get External Data/New Database Query from the
menu, I always get an error saying Non-numeric found when
numeric required.
Here's what I've done to this point:
I've modified the uni.config file on the AIX 5.1.server.
I'm creating a schema for the file using the VSG program
included with Unidata 6.0. I'm picking the file from the list
of files, assigning ALL permissions to PUBLIC. I'm creating a
view and schema using all fields (I have tried with only the
text fields).
My test file (1NF format) has fields of Name (25L Text), Town
(25L Text) Code (8R Number Conv=MR0). My @ID is a number (3
records: 1, 2 3). Valid data in each field. I've tried the
@ID field with and without a Conv of MR0. With the MR0, VSG
calls it an integer. Without the MR0, VSG calls it a VARCHAR.
I get no errors while creating the schema in VSG, and I do
see all the 'D' type dictionary fields in VSG, so it appears
that it's not a network related error.
I'm creating a link to the database in Windows XP Pro (and
Win2000 Pro) - Administration Tools - Data Sources. There
isn't much to configure here, and I think it's all set up ok.
I'm trying to use Excel (have tried Access, too), to see if I
can pull in the data, and I always get the message
Non-numeric found when numeric required.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
- Dave

RE: UV write fatal error
Ok. So there WAS a bscan done on the T25 file prior to attempting the write. Since this is done from within BASIC, my guess is that the active scan is causing some type of error. Try this; after the scan has verified that the data item does NOT exist, close and reopen the data file, THEN attempt your write (yes I know that this may invalidate the notion that the record does not exist). This would test to see if the active scan of the T25 file is interfering with the low level write, as the close of the data file would automatically terminate the scan (there is no other way from within BASIC). I wrote the code for bscan back in 1992 so I don't recall all different interactions involved, but it could be a long-standing bug that never appeared or not reported. In any case, if you could try that, I'd be interested in the results. At 12:11 PM 02/17/2004, you wrote: No, the value does not get written to the type 25 file. The data is not pre-existing.

RE: Need/Want/Would like to know
It's because the underlaying function first free's off the memory of X(100) before storing the value of A into it. Problem is, the contents for A actually reside in the just free'd up memory location for X(100), hence you are trying to store something that was previously defined in that location BACK into the same location.

Hello, Mike. I added a print X(100) following the Call in P1 and that fails too. I suppose that the X(100) element is being cleared before the assignment of A. However, as A is a pointer to X(100), both become cleared. Perhaps the move_matrix op-code should test if the r-value (e.g. A) resolves to the same l-value element (e.g. X(100)) and treat the statement as a no-op in such cases. One can short-circuit the problem by adding an intermediate variable, such as, C = A; X(100) = C, in P2. Interesting puzzle. I wonder if there is a GTAR on this?

If you have trouble getting an upgrade CD from your vendor you can download the Client CD from the IBM website under the Personal Edition. https://www-927.ibm.com/software/data/u2/support/u2techconnect/udt6pe.asp I don't think there is any difference on the client side... hth -- Colin Alfke Calgary, Alberta Canada Just because something isn't broken doesn't mean that you can't fix it Stu Pickles -Original Message- From: Dave Tabor [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, February 17, 2004 12:11 PM To: U2 Users Discussion List Subject: RE: Unidata ODBC initial setup error - Run out of ideas!!! Hi, Thanks for the suggestions. Here's what I've found. I've got the Unidata ODBC driver version number 3.01.04.7013, so it's a little earlier than you mentioned. I also tried setting up a .dsn file as you mentioned, and that didn't seem to work either. Is there a way to download a 'Service Pack' for this, or do I need to obtain an upgrade CD from our VAR? Any other ideas? Thanks, Dave -- u2-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.oliver.com/mailman/listinfo/u2-users
Re: STILL HANGING
Just as another data point, I have problems with both XP Pro and XP Home with a process locking up the CPU at 99% and freezing the system, and I do not have UV installed on either of these machines. So you might be looking at a Windows XP issue. -- Regards, Clif ~~~ W.

Re: UV - NLS
Also, check that no existing 0xACEE segment exists (i'm sure this has been done). I have frequently found that I have needed to stop UniVerse two or three times before doing a uvregen inorder for it to work. Also try nls.stamp just before the uvregen and see if that makes a difference. Regards, T. -- u2-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.oliver.com/mailman/listinfo/u2-users
Re: [ADMIN] The aforementioned and promised NAG about OVERQUOTING
Susan, Curious, I find the reverse to be true. Since I usually read in threads, I find that having to scroll through the last part to get to the current part mildly annoying. The information flow problem is that messages, especially email, don't always arrive and sort threaded. This is problem is further compounded because somebody could reply today to a message that was deleted from your Inbox or expired from your news server days or even weeks ago. Without interposting, you have no idea where the reply fits into the thread. If you are a reader that typically reads through an entire thread, when it's essentially dead, and don't mind the occasional reply that's out of place because somebody has their clock out of sync, or the time zone set incorrectly, then that's fine for you. But top-posting still makes things more difficult for just about everybody else. The byte flow problem, is the one that directly affects Cliff and the digests. Unfortunately, 99.% of Top-Posters neglect to trim the quoted message to the relevant material. That wastes huge amounts of bandwidth. Another thing to remember here, is that Usenet and email are international, and that the US is pretty much the only place where almost everybody can get internet access without per-byte or per-minute charges. Please note I typed almost everybody -- There are still places in the US where there are no local access numbers and people have to pay per-minute line charges in order to access their unlimited internet accounts. There really are no valid reasons to top-post, but there are plenty of valid reasons to inter-post and trim the quoted material. That's why it's been a flameable action on Usenet for over twenty years. Top-posting has only become more common in recent years because OE and a few other email/newsreader hybrids (that really don't do either well) make it tough to reply correctly and newbies are showing up everyday, not just in the first couple of weeks in September. Insisting on top-posting and not trimming the quoted material, especially when there's replies that have already been right-posted (aka inter-posted), I hate to say it, is just plain rude and self serving.

RE: [ADMIN] The aforementioned and promised NAG about OVERQUOTING
While I have seen the aversion to MS products on this list, I do like the way Outlook allows me to sort by subject then by received date/time. It is smart enough to handle the replies as part of a subject flow. Usually most of the threads are in blocks in the intray. I don't know if other products allow this. The sorting does go astray when someone changes the subject - so please restrain yourselves.

[OT] RE: Top / Bottom posting, was: The aforementioned and promised NAG about OVERQUOTING
Jef Lee [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]: While I have seen the aversion to MS products on this list, I do like the way Outlook allows me to sort by subject then by received date/time. It is smart enough to handle the replies as part of a subject flow. That doesn't change the fact that Mocrslops refusal to follow established standards make it nearly impossible for their *experienced* to follow those same standards. Add millions of new users every month and Micro$lop has managed to totally destroy the standard. That leads to the mentioned aversion. Usually most of the threads are in blocks in the intray. I don't know if other products allow this. There are many email and newsreaders that have allowed threading for much longer than OE. Some do it much better. Of course, when OE comes free on every desktop more and more of the alternatives are going away. More reason for the adversion The sorting does go astray when someone changes the subject - so please restrain yourselves. But what do we do when the thread a) goes *totally* off-topic or b) changes to a new subject? Convention has always been that the subject should reflect the content, and that there should be a way for the reader to filter out the OT messages. As much as I would like to see you be able to use OE to the fullest, it is more important to me that I follow 20 year old established conventions. My 2¢ My 2¢ would be that even more important than posting your response directly after the text you are replying to would be to remove extra text. Because you failed to do that those that read the digest will be forced to wade through Ray's post all over again. While it was a high quality post, full of vim and vigor, one reading should be enough for the slowest of us. I don't really care whether you follow the convention or not, but please, *please*, **please**, trim your posts so the digesters can get the full value from the list! -- ~ kevin zollinger [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- u2-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.oliver.com/mailman/listinfo/u2-users
