MultiValue Tools

Had a customer report today that there’s a strange bug in the SB+ expression parser.  The sample he provided was this:IF(1,170,””)”MR2”)The spurious ) at the end should be a syntax error.  But it is not.    As long as all quotes are “, this returns either 170 or “)”MR2 depending on if the condition is true or false.  It also gets converted in EEGC as follows:IF 1 THEN   VALUE = 170END ELSE   VALUE = '")"MR2'ENDThis is not a crisis, but I wanted to post this in case anyone else happens to make the same mistake we did, with that extra “)” at the end of an expression. 

When using MV BASIC in Online mode I have not been able to open multiple programs into separate tabs.This is a reasonably basic capability to have to support coder productivity.Is it meant to be possible?If so, is there a setting which controls it?

We want to inform you that the Rocket® MultiValue Developer Assistant will be retired effective June 30, 2026.This tool, integrated within the VS Code development environment, provided early AI-assisted capabilities for MultiValue developers. After careful evaluation, we have determined that it has not consistently delivered the level of impact our customers deserve in real-world development workflows. We made the decision to retire it rather than continue investing in a solution that doesn't meet that bar.-------------------------------------What's ChangingThe Rocket® MultiValue Developer Assistant will be decommissioned on June 30, 2026 Existing users will no longer have access after this date No technical action is required — though you may wish to update any internal documentation or workflows that referenced the tool-------------------------------------Data & PrivacyNo user prompts were recorded All server logs will be deleted as part of the decommissioning process------------

I have Visual Studio Code version 1.116.0 installed Rocket MV BASIC extension version 2.10attempting to connect to Universe 11.4.1, on AIXI work remotely from home, over VPN. After going through the complete setup/configuration, I right-click on the server in the Rocket Explorer menu and click “Connect”, and… nothing.   no error message, nothing. If I check the runtime status in the extension, it shows: Uncaught Errors (9) Pending response rejected since connection got disposed Client is not running and can't be stopped.

I have been having issues with Rocket MV BASIC for Visual Studio Code intellisense for weeks now.  I have tried updating the JAVA PATH in the settings to the newer version of Java I have 21.0.11.10.  I keep getting the following error below (local path info omitted).[Error - 3:55:14 PM] Client Rocket MV BASIC Language Server: connection to server is erroring.

We use UniVerse which allows strings to be quoted with backslashes.I just realised that the backslash quoted strings in MV BASIC are not recognised as strings, and then found it has been a bug since 2022[BUG] Syntax Highlighting Incorrect When Using Backslash ('\') to Delineate String Literals · Issue #167 · mvextensions/mvbasicNot having correct string detection causes flow-on false-positive errors to be presented which make using MV BASIC less valuable as you have to sort through those reports just in case it is hiding a real problem.I used Bing’s search to understand what is needed to sort this out.Bing’s AI indicates this is the snippet needed{  "name": "string.quoted.backslash.mvbasic",  "begin": "\\\\",  "end": "\\\\"}and that it should live in the syntaxes/mvbasic.tmLanguage.json file within the rocketsoftware.mvbasic extension folder.I have not tried this, but if it is as simple as that could it be corrected in the next MV BASIC extension release?

The following was in the Output panel for the Rocket MV BASIC Language Server after connecting to the configured host:May 26, 2026 3:57:05 PM asjava.uniclientlibs.UniConnection nlsInitWARNING: Exception occurs, isNLSLocalesEnabled is true: Default is used:asjava.uniobjects.UniNLSException: NLS Map not found Is this a problem?There appear to be no connection settings allowing for the customisation of the NLS setup when connecting.

I am attempting to use Online mode of the extension to edit source code from the remote UV server. After connecting to the server, I attempt to expand one of the listed accounts.It processes for a while, and then displays a popup up notification in this format:mvvs:/{server}/{acct}/A.FILE.NAME The ‘A.FILE.NAME’ is a legitimate file in the account, but the file has no DICT level.This file is not a code library.The code libraries in the account are known.How can I configure the extension to not get stuck on this file?How can I configure the extension to ONLY consider the known files?

The languge server that comes with Rocket MV Basic likes to complain about undefined variables in code such asfoo = 4bar = foo-1where it will say “Referenced undefined variable: foo-1” because it is detecting the minus operator as part of a variable name. Am I the only person experiencing this issue? Can this be addressed? It’s rather annoying as much of the code I’m looking at was last formatted with the Accuterm wED editor which did not enforce spacing around operators.

June 8, 2022 As a Sales Engineer, a question I often get from customers is, “Which API (application programming interface) should I use?” I usually will answer “It depends”. In this article I will discuss the APIs and the “depends”. Hope you’ll find it useful and informative. Of all the U2 APIs, I prefer MVIS because RESTful services have become a standard API interface that natively supports the nested data model. Many of our customers have replaced U2REST with MVIS, and are realizing the benefits of automation, integration, and ease of use. (a.k.a. “how to get your new features and applications to market faster”) In addition, many have found that it dovetails into their broader modernization strategy. This enables customers to develop web/mobile applications without needing to know about U2. Customers using ODBC with desktop applications like Excel, could now offer a RESTful services interface and not have to use VSG or HS.ADMIN to define ODBC access. Just like XML, JSON is a great

Hi!  I am using Cursor to code (more than just coding, Cursor excels in Agentic programming tasks, I find it better than VS Code).  Cursor is a fork of VS Code, but it does not use the official Microsoft Visual Studio Marketplace. Instead, it uses a community-driven registry called Open VSX. Rocket MV Basic extension is not listed as a valid extension, so I can’t install it from the Extensions tab.  Gemini tells me I have two alternatives to install the extension in Cursor:Option 1: Cursor allows you to import the extensions from VS Code. This option is not working for me. Option 2: Install it directly from a VSIX file, that should be downloadable from the Rocket MV Basic Extension on the VS Code Marketplace. But there is no link to download a .vsix file to install it manually.  So I’m stuck with the installation.  The best solution would be to add the extension to the Open VSX catalog, so it can be installed from the Extensions menu and updated automatically.  If not possible, can any

We have a customer using this old version of SB+ and they want modifications to a GUI screen to add a bunch of columns to a grid.  On the character screen, the first column is a dependent mv, and the second column is the controlling mv.  The prompt sequence on the screen has the dependent properly following the controlling mv.When regenerating the GUI form from the character version, the dependent properly shows to the left of the controlling mv.  However, when modifying the form in the GUI Form Builder, the dependent shows up on the left in the form builder but is moved to the right of the controlling mv when the form is executed.Is there a way to get this to consistently display the columns in the grid according to the prompt sequence in the screen definition?A little more info: The controlling mv is a product #.  When the product # is entered, the first dependent (that we want shown before the product #) displays @CNT as a line reference.  Then the second and subsequent dependent co
