 I think someone posted the name of the voc entry required if you want

 system for an entry like ...ODBC... and on the new and be sure the
 same routine is present, compiled, cataloged on both machines.  --dawn

The entire account got moved across, VOC and all and then
convcode/convdata-ed.  So I don't think we can be missing any VOC entries,
but I cannot find any sign of a paragraph which fits the description.

I've also searched the PDF doco and the list archives but can't find
anything which says what the name of the paragraph/cataloged routine needs
to be in order to do one-time initialisation for ODBC sessions like LOGIN
does for udt sessions.

I do notice that if I go to the account directory and go straight into sql
(no LOGIN paragraph run) the query fails abruptly with a message about an
unopened file variable and a MATREAD error, but if I go first into udt
(LOGIN initialisation runs) and then from there to sql then the query is
fine.

Can anybody definitively say what I need to have (VOC entry or cataloged
routine) and what it needs to be called in order to get initialisation done
when an ODBC session is connected?

Re: ODBC not dropping connection following client crash

2004-04-22 Thread Jonathan D Smith




Hi Peter,

Please see my previous message first of all about the helper message error.
Also the fact UniData hasn't cleared the processes up correctly yet, is
because as far as UniData is concerned they probally haven't died, this is
most probally down to your network settings which are not sending the
correct drop signals for UniData to recognise. You will have to wait for
the processes to timeout, UniData (and UniVerse) have a unirpcservices file
which controls the length of time your udservd process will be kept alive.
Also you will not be able to restart the Unirpc process until ALL the
process associated with it, have disappeared as the port will still be in
use. Some O/S's still take some time to free the port after all the
processes have been killed.

You may well need IBM support on this issue, have you tried contacting your
UniData supplier (who should have a support arrangement with IBM) as this
seems as if it could be quite a sticky one to clean up. However it could
all be related to your previous helper error .

Dawn and all,

Another aspect of GUI, which we sure have to consider, is
data
communication lines.
Our operation is spread over 1000 kilometres, and sending
GUI screens

make use of
local

must
certainly
be a factor of 50 more than with CUI. (?)

 To go back to Dawn's original post -

 Dawn,

 I've been writing GUI applications for UniVerse for about
15 years
 now.
 Some
 have worked, some have - well - been learning experiences.

 You shouldn't really compare GUI and character based. Why?
Because
 then
 you
 inevitably start to think of the GUI in character based
terms - the
 arrangement of controls on a form, or the addition of some
buttons.
 That's
 my main beef with 'intelligent' terminals - they obscure
the real
 picture.

 GUI is not about what you put on the screen. It's about
the flow of
 information, and how that flow best suits the application
in question.

 Data entry is part of that flow, but only part: character
based is
 good for some
 data entry and for administration, but a good application
is also
about
 navigation, culture and the ease of finding information
again.

 Here are two very different examples:

 I did a freight forwarding package for a company that
previously was
 entirely paper based. They took a - let's say flexible -
approach to

 rules, validations, pricing, descriptions etc - and wanted
to keep
 that. Providing a traditional system, with a nailed down
design and
 entry screens just wouldn't work for them. In fact I tried
that first
 as a prototype, and
 it didn't. Not in their culture.
 So I designed a system that worked the same way as their
forms. Every
 page
 matched the standard forms they used, except that
information
 automatically
 infilled, was sent to their billing systems, collated to
their work
flow
 for
 follow ups and diarising etc ... But all invisibly. What
they 'saw'
were
 the
 forms they had used throughout. Even the validation was
fairly soft,
and
 consisted mainly of highlighting things that were suspect.
Annoying
 popups
 were kept to an absolute minimum, text and codes expanded
directly
from
 typing, and generally the whole thing designed to look and
feel as
 unobtrusive as possible: nothing to interrupt their work
flow. I
couldn't
 have done that with a character based system because it
couldn't have
 represented the compexity of some of the forms (try doing
an airway
bill
 or
 customs declaration form and you'll see what I mean).

 As a more traditional example, I have a project management
system that

 I both designed and use. This is based on drill down
principles,
 allowing me to track projects, modules, scheduled and
tasks. Here the
 advantage of a GUI
 is persistence and workflow: because a GUI allows me to
have multiple
 windows open modelessly, I can track down from the
projects or work
lists
 into the individual tasks whilst keeping the lists
(heirarchically
 arranged)
 still visible, so I don't have to keep closing down
windows or
 reselecting:
 generally much more efficient. I can also display more,
since most of
the
 time I am interested in viewing information rather than
changing it -
 and at
 the viewing stage I can use smaller fonts to display
things that when
 amended need larger screen estate. The diary is a case in
point: I can

 use
 colours and smaller fonts to show different entries in a
way that a
green
 screen application wouldn't accommodate. And naturally I
keep a
document
 path, so any documents/project plans/applications or other
materials
 connected with a task can be opened directly on my
desktop.

 I have seen good GUIs: ones that improve process and work
flow and
 make
 life
 genuinely easier.
 I have seen bad GUIs that interrupt work flow, slow people
down
(bl**dy
 mice
 and message boxes).

 Good GUI works.
 Bad GUI is bad bad bad.

 But too often GUI is blamed for the lack of vision or
competence of
 those implementing it.

Apparently for the ecma microsoft promised rf for the core, but for other

Also System.Windows exposes the Win32 api so that you need a copy of

This means it is likely a C++ solution will develop for C# where

Compare C++ developers which use MFC on windows and GTK+ or Qt on linux.

I use gnome-terminal on an X-Windows screen that is set at 1400x1050 in

which gives me the capability to copy and paste from one to the other,
do HELP BASIC XX in one and read it while typing in the other (Okay,
I can't read and type anything coherent at the SAME time, but you get

@(0,@CRTHIGH), or when changing width to test 132 column reports, do
LIST.FILE.STATS to see more data, I will use @(@CRTWIDE) syntax.

The very nice thing about gnome-terminal, and essentially all the

RE: @SPAM++++++ How do we convert lowercase letters to uppercase in Pick basic

2004-04-22 Thread Neil Charrington
Hi,

Use the conversion codes :

MCU - make all upper case
MCL - make all lower case
MCT - make capitalised

They can be used with the OCONV in BASIC or as a conversion statement in a
file dictionary.

IHTH

Neil.

Another nice one is OCONV(Variable,MCT).  
If initial value of Variable is TEST, result will be Test.

Jeremy,
Welcome to the group! I'm not familiar with the replication error you're 
having but it sounds like you may want to simply try making the 
replication time a lot longer. If the problem goes away, keep halving 
the time until you find a 'sweet spot'. It doesn't fix the problem, but 
it may make it go away long enough for you to find a real answer.

Re: How do we convert lowercase letters to uppercase in Pick basi c

2004-04-22 Thread Mark Johnson
Only downsides to these OCONV's is that McDonalds and O'Henry lose the 2nd
capitalized letter. The only true way to manage would be to have a BEGIN
CASE situation to look for MC or O' at the beginning and handle that way.
Plus maintain a list of unprogrammable exceptions.

I have a music database program that needs this, especially the exception
list like LeAnn Rimes, DJ Freddie, USA etc. Also, the exception list could
force certain words to not capitalize. The exception list's primary key is
the Uppercase version of the word and 1 is the true form.

Re: UV 10.7 and replication

2004-04-22 Thread Jeremy Adell
Thanks for the advice Charles. You definitely are right about what caused 
the problem. I tested a lab system by overloading a faster box and 
replicating the data to a slower box. That duplicated the error, too much 
disk i/o for the slower box to keep up its normal processes i guess. When i 
deleted the log file on the publisher that would not go away on its own, the 
error message would not occur again until i overloaded the publishing system 
again. By decreasing the time to say 5 minutes the problem would never occur 
again until i increased the level of disk i/o. leaving just now to fix the 
site. Thanks again for the help.
sincerely,
Jeremy

Re: Dialing a Fax/Modem from A UV basic program

2004-04-22 Thread Jeremy Adell
Bobby, on the NT system are you logged in with administrator privileges when 
this will be run, or as a limited user?
If administrator, you can use 'DOS /c ' similar to the shell command. This 
will get you away from the UV contraints.  I would not recommend using a 
batch script, but something a little more powerful like wsh scripting. you 
will need to know a bit about either javascript or vbscript. It should give 
you control over everything you would need in windows to do this.
'DOS /c cscript filename'. Hopefully there is a simpler option though.

 I have a program i need to port to a win2k server from DG/UX. This program
 generates a report that can be printed or Faxed. It dials a modem connected
 to the unix server, and off goes the report. Has anyone tried a simular
 process on an NT server?
 
 My thought was to setup a Fax modem, and have the program execute a batch
 script to dial the number, but i am not sure how to spool to a fax,
  this ring any bells with anyone?

Re: Dialing a Fax/Modem from A UV basic program

2004-04-22 Thread Karl L Pearson
Is there an easier Solution:

Faxes in Windows are installed as Printers, therefore, could you create
an alias for your Fax driver, such as FAX1 and then just write your
mvBASIC code to send to that printer. Theoretically you could then even
print to a fax from TCL using

SETPTR ,,stuff deleted,AT FAX1
SELECT FILE WITH correct params
SORT FILE correct fields LPTR

Now that begs the question, which is why I bring this up, How can you
then determine the phone number, etc.? Someone has done this, right?

you cannot run scripts if not logged in as administrator, but it would be 
possible to run an .exe . not sure if you know how to program c++ or vb.

RE: How do we convert lowercase letters to uppercase in Pick basic

2004-04-22 Thread Stevenson, Charles
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 ANYSTR
or
   UPSTR = CONVERT( 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz',
'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ', ANYSTR )
and
   DNSTR = CONVERT( 'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ',
'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz', ANYSTR )
depending on your mood.


Note the difference bstween REPLACE()  CONVERT().
Use REPLACE() to replace an entire substring with another substring.
CONVERT does char by char.
A common misconception.

[OT] to Brian Re: C#Builder

2004-04-22 Thread Tony Gravagno
Brian, I hope this responds to your points (Good chatting BTW, hope all is
well):
- Because the compiler is free doesn't mean the IDE must be too.  We could
say the MV database model and Pick/BASIC compiler are free, and we're just
licensing user access to it through the various MV DBMS implementations.
But we have to pay for something.  I see no problem with someone providing
a for-fee IDE which makes my development easier, and I think Borland was
wise to create a tiered pricing structure for increased functionality,
starting with free software for limited use.
- About no commercial use in the free version: If I'm making money by
using someone else's software I see nothing wrong with compensating them for
the opportunities they've provided me.  That goes for VS.NET, C#Builder, or
an MV DBMS.  What we all object to is unreasonably and prohibitively high
costs to developers, and up-front costs that could be unrecoverable if for
some reason we aren't selling product.
- About the quality of C#Builder.  I've had my beefs with it too but it IS a
good product and a viable alternative to VS.NET when people say I don't
want to have to pay Microsoft to code in .NET.  See the following link for
a side by side comparison:
http://www.c-sharppro.com/features/2003/11/cs200311jm_f/cs200311jm_f.asp
What that article points out is that C#Builder is about on-par with VS.NET
for average development.  However it stands out considerably for
Enterprise-scale development of larger applications (which was probably not
considered by your local press who hammered the product).  Maybe this isn't
where guys like us fit in, but Borland did address needs of a large audience
that were not being satisfied with Microsoft offerings, and that seems to be
consistent with the overall Borland strategy.

While I spent several months intensively working with C#Builder last year,
for my needs VS.NET is my preferred tool, though I do miss some very cool
features of C#Builder.

How does this apply to MV developers?  In my mind tools are irrelevant.
Pick one and go forward.  I don't care if you're using VS.NET, C#Builder, or
Notepad for your .NET development, but I think it's important to get started
with .NET development with any tool at any level, to enhance your apps and
keep you competitive with other mainstream offerings.

My best,
Tony

But C#Builder is a borrowed technology and the cost seems way 
high for what is essentially a wrapper around a compiler that

reflect that of Visual Studio .Net, which offers far more in 
terms of functionality than the Borland IDE: and it got 
hammered by the computer press over here for exactly that reason. 

I'm worried that Borland are getting greedy - snapping up 
technology companies instead of concentrating on their core 
skills of providing the best languages (they've gone down that 
road before and been badly burned) - there is a sense that 
they are panicking in response to losing their best resource 
to Microsoft - and pushing out product that is overpriced for 
the market or not ready. That's not the Borland we know and 
love, and as a long time Borland supporter, I want Borland to 
succeed - they have a very loyal customer base and I can't see 
these tactics doing Borland any favours. 

BTW you cannot legally use C#Builder personal for any 
commercial development.

RE: Dialing a Fax/Modem from A UV basic program

2004-04-22 Thread Jeremy Adell
These are scripts ending with .vbs, .js run with either (command line) 
cscript.exe or (gui) wscript.exe. On server 2003, i have found that only 
privileged users can run these. Used for automated administration of the 
server. 2000 may allow it, but i would hope not. These scripts give you a 
way to automate, access, and programatically control every aspect of your 
windows server including access to networking, modems and printers.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-
us/script56/html/wsproarguments.asp

The best bet is to create a simple executable to connect the modem, use the 
new socket abilities of Universe 10.0 to setup a client system locally, and 
an always listening server at the remote location and just pipe the data 
over. Then the listening program writes the data to a file. kind of a hacked 
system but oh well.




 What kind of scripts?  Batch files?  I have a number of processes which
 write out and execute batch files and ordinary users can execute 
 them just fine.

{Spam?} UDT 6.0.5 and RH AS

2004-04-22 Thread Lembit Pirn
Hi everybody!

Has anybody installed udt 6.0.5 on RH AS. Any experiences with that, especially with 
UOJ ?
I know it this platform is not in official list (only RH ES is) but maybe somebody has 
tried it.
We had some problems with installing it but finally we succeeded. Currently we 
experience problems with UO Java - unirpcd is running but we can not connect to it, 
error 39207 arises. 
We have had such problem before on other platforms but then the problem was with 
LANG=C on both, server and client side. This time it did not help.
