A relatively easy and 'simple' way to read/write UD files from UV (or vice versa) is to use BCI.
We use BCI to communicate and transfer data to/from remote UV database servers. It works fine for our purposes. There is no reason why the remove server can't be a UD database (provided it supports BCI, of course). We do it by calling a subroutine on the remote host, as a SQL stored proceedure. We past what we want to do to (read/write) the routine and the associated data is passed (dynamic array) to or from the client application. It works well for us. We do simple record at a time type transfers, emulating the PI-style COPY verb.

They are willing to discuss this with you as a billable engagement. FYI, if this had been the inverse .. migrating a UV account to UniData, it would have been no problem, as UniData comes bundled with a command called "UV_RESTORE", which takes a uvbackup sourced account and restores and converts it to UniData file formats. So perhaps there is another way to skin this cat. Is there a way to read/write to UDT files directly from UV? Any and all off-the-wall, out-of-the-box, out-of-left-field, {insert your favorite left-brained-business-creativity-MBA cliche here} suggestions welcome. ------- u2-users mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/
