Hi David, Depending on your file type and underlying OS you could 1) If the file type is not a type 1 or type 19 then write a uniVerse subroutine as a SQL trigger. See chapter 5 of the SQL reference guide, on how to do this. 2) If the file type is a type 1 or a type 19 then if your underlying O

Good morning David. While the answers you've gotten regarding triggers are valid, they're perhaps an overly complicated solution to your problem. Your statement that LIST FILE.NAME LPTR gives you the info you need seems to imply to me that the record key is numeric and generated sequentially. I

Going along this train of thought. What if you setup a new printer and make the Device's filename to be a script filename. Then when you setup the SP.ASSIGN and Then do your LIST ... it will send the output directly to your script. Granted, you will need to setup a new "printer" device on the UV s

Triggers are probably the way, but if you have a touchy vendor, they might not appreciate your trigger as much as you do. If triggers aren't an option, maybe this could work (at least on a smallerish file): *Assume the filename is FOO and the id is @ID* *At ECL/TCL:* SSELECT FOO BY-DSND @ID SELE

If you don't mind being notified of other data changes in addition to record additions, my preference would be to simply check the last modified time of the UV file at the OS level. I think this shell script would work: #!/bin/bash if [ ! -f /var/tmp/uv_timestamp ]; then touch /var/tmp/uv_time

Hi David, Though this is not a great option, you could create a new file and either just copy the current contents of the file you want to watch into it or just a "fingerprint" record if all you need is a "record exists" type of monitoring. Then a simple SELECT of the first file followed by an NS

I actually think this is a really good solution and was my first thought. Assuming you are allowed to update the dictionary in the source file, you could add an ATB to do a TRANSLATE and make the select of those records that are in the source and not in the dest easier. Do what you need to do

When you say "fills with junk" what you may be seeing is just that the "end" of the file is moving forward. So the rest of the file in your view, is really just stuff that's not garbage-cleaned because Universe knows where the true end really is, but Windows/Unix doesn't know. So it has no ne

Hi David, If you can do some UV basic coding or have access to a resource who can then: Have a look at installing a file trigger on the file(s) you need to monitor. The "sysdesc" manual contains trigger information. The reason I suggest this is that the trigger will fire on your designated condit

Hi David If you upgrade to the latest UV version you have access to the built-in UV DB audit logging facility. Then you can setup a logging event to log changes to the file(s) in question. Hence, not violating the NDAs nor application flow (which you would have too if modifying the file with ad
