 Karl,

 Sounds interesting.  So you have a screen that is 80 columns by
 60 rows.  Does that mean that you can than do PRINT @(0,60) to
 get the bottom line of the screen?  And can you do 132 by 60??

I use gnome-terminal on an X-Windows screen that is set at 1400x1050 in
24bit mode. I have a relatively small terminal font (old eyes so not as
small as in the past) so I can have 2 80x60 windows open side-by-side,
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
the idea). As for using @(0,60), no, I don't do that. I regularly use
@(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
Linux-based emulators, is that I can size a window to, say 134x70
(examples only), telnet to my AIX server and have the TCL TERM settings
match. I use code like this to accomplish it:

 SET.DIMENSIONS
0001 execute 'sh -c \termdef\' capturing TERMTYP
0002 TERMTYP = TERMTYP1
0003 execute 'set.term.type ':TERMTYP capturing TERM.OUTPUT
0004 execute 'sh -c \termdef -c\' capturing TCOLS
0005 TCOLS = TCOLS1
0006 execute 'sh -c \termdef -l\' capturing TLINES
0007 TLINES = TLINES1
0008 execute 'TERM ':TCOLS:',':TLINES

and call it from ~/uv/VOC UV.LOGIN.

 Okay, I'll bite.

 I use Linux exclusively, other than when forced to run win98 or win2000,
 which I do on Linux in a VMware Workstation window, with my Linux
 streaming video or audio running in the background... (my personal
 touch)

 Running gnome-terminal in 80x60 mode, I can connect to our traditional
 'green screen' APP and see more, especially when coding more 'green
 screen' parts to our APP.

 of AP/Pro, where it looks like Netware for all intents and purposes, but
 it's actually an app running on top of a hidden linux kernel.

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?

 If administrator, you can use 'DOS /c ' similar to the shell command. This

 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

  process on an NT server?
  
  My thought was to setup a Fax modem, and have the program execute a batch

   this ring any bells with anyone?

 Maybe it is just me - I don't live in the big smoke - but (to date) I simply

 I'm happy to kick it off. Of the (application) systems that we have installed over 
 the years, discounting green screens, we have deployed to probably around 1,500 
 workstation devices -- all Windows (even back as far as 3.11)
 
 I've had the Mac option raised twice - I remember each one clearly ! Once at a 
 printers (who are 'big' MAC users traditionally) for 3 devices, and once at a

 Any other takers ? I need to point out that I'm not LOOKING for exceptions, merely 
 the state of the desktop, so if you only have Wintel desktops, please step up  be 
 counted - and if there is a vast ocean of hidden MAC and Linux desktops out there,

 When the uv restarted it run fine for a day before it used up all the CPU
 and memory resources. A fast check on 'topas' show CPU resources used up for
 Kernel and User. There are no free resources on Wait and Idle. Around 70% of
 the CPU resources used for User and 30% used for Kernel.
 
 On memory side, seem all the physical memory had been consumed up. Even
 Paging space also been used. A quick snapshot on the memory from 'topas' as
 below:
 
 MEMORY
  Real,MB4095
  % Comp 22.4
  % Noncomp  76.2
  % Client   75.1
 
  PAGING SPACE
  Size,MB4096
  % Used  1.4
  % Free 98.5
 
 When all the physical resources are fully occupied, the Universe processing
 become slow. The only thing I can do now is to restart Universe when the
 performance degraded?
 
 Are there any performance tuning we need to do on the OS to prevent this
 issue? Or is there any known issue with this version of Universe?
 
 Please assist me to solve this problem.
 
 Regard's,
 
 Foo

 Subject: U2 Personal Editions
 
 
 I'm trying to install UV and UD Personal Editions.  I had an 
 old download of
 UVPE and am trying to install it.  Once upon a time i 
 remember someone
 mentioning what needed to be changed in uv.load to install it 
 on a non-Redhat
 system (Debian in my case), but i can't find it in the 
 archives.  Anyone know?
 
 Alas, i no longer have broadband and the UD download took 
 about 8-10 hours and
 didn't quite finish.  I got 67.1 MB of the 68.2MB of 
 rhlinux71_601PE.tar.gz. 
 Thought i'd try to install it anyway and it almost worked.  
 The server loads and
 presumably is running ok, but when i try to start the client, 
 i get a message
 saying the sys/VOC file is version 5.0 and needs to be 6.0.  
 Presumably
 updatevoc would fix this, but, alas, it appears the files 
 are in alphabetical
 order and the extraction bombs out in the uojskd directory.  
 Since the download
 is https, i assume there's no way to use something like wget 
 to resume the
 download.  I have to pay by the minute for internet here in 
 Zambia, so i hate to
 try to download the whole thing again if i don't have to since 
 the same thing
 could happen again.
 
 Of course the easiest thing would be for someone to send me a 
 gzipped tarball of
 everything that extracts from uojsdk/lib onward.  I really 
 don't think IBM
 would mind, but in these lawsuit happy days, i understand most 
 people wouldn't
 want to do this.  Just wondering if there are any other options?

 UniObjects does not use a sockets-based interface, so SSL and so on
 aren't relevant.
 
 Rather, UniObjects uses a proprietary interface built on an architecture
 called InterCall. The only security is a port number that's not used
 for anything else, and a check in the unirpcservices file about nodes
 permitted to access the uvcs/udcs service.
 
 In particular, no encryption is available within the product.

VOC prompt issue?

2004-04-06 Thread Karl L Pearson
I have this VOC item we run:

ED VOC BIN.LOC
7 lines long.

: P
0001: PA
0002: CLEARDATA
0003: CLEARSELECT
0004: SELECT INVMST WITH F12 = ENTER BIN LOCATION TO LIST ITEMS FOR:

0005: SELECT INVMST WITH WAREHOUSE = 1 REQUIRE.SELECT
0006: SELECT INVMST WITH F12 # '' REQUIRE.SELECT
0007: LIST INVMST BY F04 BY ITEM F04 F12 ITEM F13 F14 F28 T48 DOLR DOLS
ID.SUP LPTR DBL-SPC HEADING SPECIAL FOR CHRISTINE...ALL ITEMS IN A
SPECIFIC BIN LOCATION   'T'   PAGE 'P' REQUIRE.SELECT
Bottom at line 7.

When it's run multiple times, the second time re-prints the first run
without prompting for a new bin location. Logging off, which I suspect
clears something or other, allows the person to run it on a second item.

Any thoughts?

Re: VOC prompt issue?

2004-04-06 Thread Karl L Pearson
I put CLEARPROMPTS AND A, and it's working as expected now. I suspect
either of them would have worked, but both is nice, too...

Thanks to the winners, Glenn, Wyatt, Marlene (and any others who knew
but are patient enough to wait to see who else responds).

I didn't try the *  . . . suggestion. I don't understand that one but
have seen the others ('A waist is a terrible thing to mind' or something

Re: DATA statement Clearing?

The theory is that our database (old version of ACCESS) will get on the
client systems and clean up the data, thus making the different uses of
this step unnecessary. Good old data consistency would be nice.

 Subject: DATA statement Clearing?
 
 
  I have a program that takes a printed replenishment order (sent via
  smoke and mirrors to a text file on our uniVerse server from remote
  sites), parses through it and passes DATA to an Order Entry program
  (4580 lines long).
 
  I'm curious if there's a way to clear those data statements up as part
  of clean-up in case of an error in the data structure at the remote
  site. I.E, there are 3 lines of text for each ordered product. On the
  first line, is pricing, so I do a findstr for a $-sign, which allows me
  to know I'm on the first of 3 lines for one item. With some of our
  clients, the inventory item is on the first line and with others it's on
  the 2nd or 3rd line.
 
  My code knows the difference by client number and process correctly,
  however on some clients, the inventory item number isn't where it's
  supposed to be, causing the order entry program to go into cardiac
  arrest. My cleanup then has to undo the locking mechanism (prevents more
  than one process at a time), plus release locks, etc.
 
  I need to be able to clear the data statements because they are
  currently being passed to the menuing system, which causes the operator
  to wonder what's going on and hope nothing bad just happened.
 
  INPUTCLEAR and CLEARSELECT don't work (I thought inputclear would...).
 
  Help?

Re: D3 Automatic Faxing

I don't know if it runs on D3 or not. Ask Esker Software (U.S.
800-556-4874). We use this product over 2 faxes. We routinely send
between 150 to 300 faxes a day and over 600 at Month-End. I monitor it
with a 'roll-my-own' package I wrote and it seems quite okay so far.

There are NT-based (NTFS required) monitoring and admin tools that are
supposed to be nice, but since I run Linux as my desktop OS, I haven't
bothered using those tools.

I don't know if anyone else is using this product or not.

Re: [UV] DELETE.FILE verb

2004-03-10 Thread Karl L Pearson
You may consider rolling your own on this one. If on Unix, you might
have a script that does this:

#!/usr/bin/ksh
# Remove TEMP files
if [ $1 = '' ] ; then
   echo usage: $0 FILENAME(s) (separated by a space or LF)
   exit 1
fi

for i in $1
  do
echo Removing $i
cd $UVACCOUNT ; # Change this to the account or prompt for it
rm -r $i
rm -r D_$i
uv DELETE VOC $i
done

There may need a couple of other things added, especially if you have
security options in the account, but TEMP files probably shouldn't be
stored in a production account but rather in a subdirectory/filesystem
somewhere else.

Just my two bits.

The actual names of the files at the OS level are in lines 2 and 3 in
the VOC 'F'-pointer. So, if you roll your own, you could use mvBASIC and
just read REC2 for the DATA portion and REC3 for the DICT portion,
then do 

DELETE UFD REC2 REC3
DELETE VOC FNAME

or some such.

Re: Universe File Corruption

2004-02-27 Thread Karl L Pearson
Once upon a time, I repaired uniVerse files fairly often. I was taught
by Mark Baldridge and later took a refresher course from Joel Yates.

Fixing the file at v9.4.n.n (pre fixtool days) will require manual file
work at the OS level using filepeek. Since filepeek doesn't prompt for
errors, writing the wrong data can destroy the file. Incidently, if
everyone is off the system and there are no processes running against
the INVOICE file, uvfixfile may very well work just fine. It fails if
there is any activity against the file. In later releases, uvfixfile
wouldn't even run if there was file activity, similar to RESIZE.

As for you question about not losing data, sometimes you don't lose data
if the link is from a duplicate 'forward link' to 2 different groups.
Fixing the Blink error will allow the hashing algorhythm for the correct
group to be seen. There is a very real chance that you will lose the one
record where the Blink error is and possibly the records that come after
the error in the affected group.

If the corrupt file is a type 30 file (dynamic on UV), then the repair
is more difficult, but still relatively easy for someone with
experience.

If the file is corrupt, you need the file repaired, then distributed.
Fixing the file can be a real bear at the 2GB limit because of group
truncation and other issues. After you get that part solved (I could do
it for you if you don't have local help and don't mind telecommuting
administration), You can visit

Batch Mode Scanners

2004-02-09 Thread Karl L Pearson
Background info:

We are considering the purchase of some type of handheld scanner that
will save our outside sales force the paper-pencil solutions they are
currently using.

Our idea is to have them enter a customer account number, then scan
barcodes affixed to bins where our product is kept, then enter a number
which represents an inventory adjustment.

When they get back to their desk, they would plug the scanner in and hit
a key and the data would be read off the scanner and processed by our
business application.

question for the list:

What types of products are available which are easily setup and don't
cost a first born child. The ones I've been familiar with in the past
are Telxon and Intermec, but for real-time telnet connectivity we use
Symbol (PDT3146us) technology.

Any quick responses that point me in the right direction will be greatly
appreciated.

Re: mkdbfile: create file in another account

2004-01-28 Thread Karl L Pearson
That syntax worked for me (sh -c on Linux rather than DOC /C) but, it
doesn't make a DICT file, so the file isn't accessible through TCL
commands. I had to add a DICT to the VOC entry I also had to add as the
command doesn't create either a DICT file or the VOC entry... I repeat
myself.

 Looks like I have the wrong syntax, but it is rather hard to look up the 
 documentation!
 
 I still feel uncomfortable using an undocumented feature - no security it will not 
 disappear or change.

   Well, I just posed this question - and mkdbfile was the suggestion that won!
 
   However, I didn't create a VOC entry. The idea (I believe) is to execute this 
 command at the OS prompt - not TCL.
 
   Since it looks like you're on Windows it would be something like so:
 
   EXECUTE 'sh -c cd C:\BeaconUV\DevelData\XXINV\KKINV; ':SYSTEM(32):'\bin\mkdbfile 
 DATA \XXINV\KKINV 30 1 4 20 50 80 1068'
 
It's not documented, since it's really an internal UV command - as opposed to a 
 TCL statement of BASIC function.
 
   The CREATE.FILE verb needs to be enhanced to perform this function - and prevent 
 us from dabbling in the 'bin' directory. But until then - this is the way to go.
 
   HTH,
 
   Mark.

   Subject: mkdbfile: create file in another account
 
 
   Does anyone know anything about using mkdbfile (from UV bin) to create a file in 
 an account other than the current user account?
 
   A colleague told me about it, but it does not seem to be documented, and does not 
 seem to work on my  
 
UV 10.0.17 system on Windows 2000, as it does on his UV 9.5.2.1 on Windows 
 something.
 
   I tried, according to his instructions:
   VOC mkdbfile
   0001: V
   0002: mkdbfile
   0003: E
   0004: FG
   0005:
   0006: PICK.FORMAT
 
   Then, from TCL: mkdbfile C:\BeaconUV\DevelData\XXINV\KKINV 30 1 4 20 50 80 1068
   where:
   C:\BeaconUV\DevelData\XXINV\KKINV is pathname of file to create
   30 is file type
   1 is modulo
   4 is separation
   20 is hash type
   50 is max load
   80 is split load
   1096 is large record size
 
   This gave error message: invalid filetype specified
 
   I feel very nervous about using something that is not documented, so presumably 
 may not be reliably supported.
 
   Anyone know anything, please?
 
   Cheers,  Kate

Re: SV: [ud] TOADS

2004-01-28 Thread Karl L Pearson
Esecially for those of us in the U.S. who emmigrated from Sweden a
couple generations ago. I've only been back once. I know, you can't go
back to where you've never been, so, I've been to Sweden once. It was
very nice, though I doubt I could bear to live there (personal political
reasons).

 go to an account where toads is already set up,  copy all file pointers
 that point to TOADS.MASTER or TOADS  to the new account.
 Then - unless toads is globally cataloged -  also copy all  program entries
 that belongs to toads.  How do I know wich ones belong to toads, You ask.
 The answer is unless they are globally cataloged their cataloged name 
 all start with the same
 prefix  and You find it in any toad program VOC entry  e.g.  MASTER.TOAD
 
 Also look in Your login paragraph for toads initialization programs
 in uv we have TD.SET.DIMENSIONS  there.
 
 I think that is about it  - but it sure is a long time
 
 Anyway try that as a start and come back with the dignosis
 if any adn we'll continue from there.
 
 There is/should be  a shell script somewhere that initializes an account 
 - at least for uv -
 can't remember it's name :-(

 Hi,
 anyone out there who knows how I should do to make TOADS work in my newly
 created Unidataaccount.
 I have a catalogstructure like this:
 /data/TOADS.MASTER
 /data/TOADS
 /data/TOAD.BEGIN
 and my new account is in
 /data/data2/newaccout
