Subject: RE: [U2] Avoiding automatic e.mails to the list
You can configure major donut to drop out-of-office bounces.
You need to look into the majordomo.cf file for
$global_taboo_headers = <<'END';
There should be a list, under that, of bad subjects to bounce mail for. Add
lines like this:
/^subject:\s.*\bout of the office\b/i
/^subject:\s.*\bout-of-the-office\b/i
or (for vacations)
/^subject:\s.*\bam on vacation\b/i
/^subject:\s.*\baway on vacation\b/i
You can tweak the conf file as you see new ones making through. Those four
will handle most of the auto-replies from Outcast.

Subject: [U2] [UV] ODBC driver woes
I'm in the process of migrating to UV 10.1 on RedHat AS 3, and am having
an issue connecting to MS SQL 2000 via OpenLink's ODBC drivers. We've
been using an older version of the drivers on our current hardware and
unix OS for a few years without incident, but the latest version won't
establish a connection from RH AS 3 with the UV environment:
>connect goldmine
Enter username for connecting to 'goldmine' DBMS [JAH]: sa
Enter password for sa:
SQLConnect error: Status = -1 SQLState = IM003 Natcode = 0
[ODBC] [iODBC][Driver Manager]Specified driver could not be loaded
Invalid parameter(s) found in configuration file
I am able to establish a connection outside of UV from the shell prompt
though. I'm also able to establish a connection with an older version
of the OpenLink linux drivers from within UV, but this isn't recommended
for a production environment since they were written for use with glibc
2.1 and we're on glibc 2.3. IBM says that the problem must lie with the
drivers because the error message is returned by the driver program, and
UV simply hands over control to the driver. OpenLink thinks the problem
lies within the UV environment since I'm able to establish a connection
outside of UV at the OS level. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
John

Subject: RE: [OT] [U2] How do you avoid "out-of-office" Outlook auto-reply to this
list
To keep this on-topic, the answer is: don't use Outlook for sending out of
office messages. Write an SMTP client in Pick BASIC or other favorite tools
which checks your inbox headers and manages messaging the way you want. Or
- - have a process run through your inbound Outlook mail and send messages to
selected associates.
I'm sorry, I'm a DIY kinda guy.
Chuck is right though, unless we're discussing how this technically applies
to U2 it should probably go elsewhere.
See you in Las Vegas!

Subject: [U2] Copying transactions to outside database via ODBC
UniData 5.2 on AIX.
I want to copy transactions from UniData to a FileMaker database.
My intention is to:
1) copy the transactions to an upload transaction file
2) initiate an ODBC query to pull the records into FileMaker
2a) one of the dictionary items will write a flag to the record as it is processed
3) purge the marked records
Getting the transaction is done.
The ODBC query works fine.
The dictionary item that marks the records works.
I have tried calling a subroutine that deletes all of the marked records from within a
dictionary item.
It works at the UniData command line using the 'SAMPLE 1' phrase.
It does not work from my 'delete' ODBC query that tries to get one record.
I did write another subroutine that deletes the current record, only. That did work
from within the ODBC query but was WAY too slow processing a lot of records.
Any ideas on how I might purge the marked transaction records in UniData from my
FileMaker script?
Thanks, Karjala

Hello Jeff,
Thank you (and all others) for your help.
I've shortened the password to 2 characters. Still getting the "The
user name provided is incorrect" message. I don't know if that's just a
generic "login failed" message, or it really *does* mean it couldn't
find this user to validate it.
This is a very frustrating problem as it's obvious that it works for
others - just not me.
Maybe it's a PAM issue.
BTW - Too late. I have already spent hours researching this problem. ;-)

Yeah, I had sorta stumbled on the debug level earlier today by applying
the sendmail command line theory and seeing if it worked.
Unfortunately, I didn't really notice anything in the output that helped me.
It's been pointed out that the version of UV PE for Linux that is
available for download - 10.0.2 - doesn't do MD5 encryption (or doesn't
do it correctly or something). And that the problem was fixed in
version 10.0.9. Now if I could only get UV PE 10.0.9 or later, I'd be ok.
Thanks to all for your help.

there is tech tip on the techconnect web site that I found very useful when
trying to get UniRpc working. IIRC, there was something about logs in
there.
You need to login to techconnect and then go to this url:

and then click on the download tech tip button.

Yes, I think that's true. If that is the case, then PAM is not a factor

That was the method I first tried. I got the same error, and then saw
an example using the UniJava class so I tried it. Both methods fail on

From: bruce nichol <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Subject: [U2] I-Type DICT definition and "paging"
Goo'day, all
UV 9.6.1 on NT
We have a client for whom we have an existing subroutine (in the case
below, known as "FIRST.SUB") that calculates Minimum and Maximum product
stock holdings, depending on the season - Winter and Summer. It's a long
and involuted/convoluted program that analyses a product's sales for each
month for the past 3 or 4 years and finally arrives at the 4 required
figures for recommended stock holding and has been used successfully within
other programs for years......Admittedly, the calling programs only look at
one product at a time...
Being clever, we recently "wrapped" this subroutine in another subroutine
that is called from each of four new I-Type definitions, eg
0002 SUBR("SECOND.SUB",@ID,x)
where x = 1 to 4 depending on which min/max for which season is required
(for Def'n WIN.MIN, x = 1, WIN.MAX, x = 2, SUMM.MIN, x =3, SUMM.MAX, x = 4).
SECOND.SUB looks something like:
SUBROUTINE second.sub(RESULT,ID,TYPE)
RESULT = ''
OPEN fname TO FNAME ....... .................................................
('cos all the other progs pass the file name to the subroutine,
and NO, it's not COMMONed in any way...................yet)
CALL FIRST.SUB(ID,FNAME,W.MIN,W.MAX,S.MIN,S.MAX)
BEGIN CASE
CASE TYPE = 1; RESULT = W.MIN
CASE TYPE = 2; RESULT = W.MAX
CASE TYPE = 3; RESULT = S.MIN
CASE TYPE = 4; RESULT = S.MAX
END CASE
RETURN
All four I-Types compiled
Our problem is that although these 4 DICT items work a treat..... if we,
for example,
LIST fname SUMM.MIN SUMM.MAX
the result, by product, is correct, but the listing does not "page" as it
normally would/should. It acts as if a NOPAGE was part of the sentence -
ZOOM! First screen "page" to last "page"...
The same thing happens if we only use one DICT item in the sentence, or
any/some/all of them in whatever sequence
If we pre-SELECT only a few products, ie, less than a pageful, or only one
product, there is only one "page" of report. Adding a LPTR to the
sentence works correctly.
Are we expecting too much of an I-Type or is there another problem?? Is
there a possibility we're doing something naughty in FIRST.SUB? There're
no PRINTER, PRINT or similar statements. There's no other subroutine
called from within .... Actually, nothing we can see that's cause this
problem....

and involuted/convoluted program that analyses a product's sales for
each
month for the past 3 or 4 years and finally arrives at the 4 required
figures for recommended stock holding and has been used successfully
within
other programs for years......Admittedly, the calling programs only look
at
one product at a time...
Being clever, we recently "wrapped" this subroutine in another
subroutine
that is called from each of four new I-Type definitions, eg
0002 SUBR("SECOND.SUB",@ID,x)
where x = 1 to 4 depending on which min/max for which season is required
(for Def'n WIN.MIN, x = 1, WIN.MAX, x = 2, SUMM.MIN, x =3, SUMM.MAX, x
= 4).
SECOND.SUB looks something like:
SUBROUTINE second.sub(RESULT,ID,TYPE)
RESULT = ''
OPEN fname TO FNAME .......
.................................................
('cos all the other progs pass the file name to the subroutine,
and NO, it's not COMMONed in any way...................yet)
CALL FIRST.SUB(ID,FNAME,W.MIN,W.MAX,S.MIN,S.MAX)
BEGIN CASE
CASE TYPE = 1; RESULT = W.MIN
CASE TYPE = 2; RESULT = W.MAX
CASE TYPE = 3; RESULT = S.MIN
CASE TYPE = 4; RESULT = S.MAX
END CASE
RETURN
All four I-Types compiled
Our problem is that although these 4 DICT items work a treat..... if we,
for example,
LIST fname SUMM.MIN SUMM.MAX
the result, by product, is correct, but the listing does not "page" as
it
normally would/should. It acts as if a NOPAGE was part of the sentence
- -
ZOOM! First screen "page" to last "page"...
The same thing happens if we only use one DICT item in the sentence, or
any/some/all of them in whatever sequence
If we pre-SELECT only a few products, ie, less than a pageful, or only
one
product, there is only one "page" of report. Adding a LPTR to the
sentence works correctly.
Are we expecting too much of an I-Type or is there another problem??
Is
there a possibility we're doing something naughty in FIRST.SUB?
There're
no PRINTER, PRINT or similar statements. There's no other subroutine
called from within .... Actually, nothing we can see that's cause this
problem....

Greetings,
Are you doing any cursor positioning in the subroutines?
If the subs are doing anything like that (even a CRT @(0,0) Hint : check
any include code :-0 ) then UV assumes that you know more than it does and
doesn't bother with the paging at the query level.
I have heard it described in a much more technical and elegant
manner before but sorry my brain is fried at the moment and you get the
gist of the issue.
Let me know if it isn't this and Ill make my brain work harder :)
Cheers,
.....Darren.....

Check if "new" subroutine is suppressing pagination with either a "DUMMY =
@(0,0)" or "CALL !BPIOCP" (or similar).

Goo'day, all

Being clever, we recently "wrapped" this subroutine in another subroutine
that is called from each of four new I-Type definitions, eg
0002 SUBR("SECOND.SUB",@ID,x)
where x = 1 to 4 depending on which min/max for which season is required
(for Def'n WIN.MIN, x = 1, WIN.MAX, x = 2, SUMM.MIN, x =3, SUMM.MAX, x =
4).
SECOND.SUB looks something like:

the result, by product, is correct, but the listing does not "page" as it
normally would/should. It acts as if a NOPAGE was part of the sentence -
ZOOM! First screen "page" to last "page"...
