MultiValue Tools

The Rocket® MV team is excited to announce the release of MV BASIC for Visual Studio Code 2.8 on November 5th, 2025. The release is packed with enhancements that make working with MultiValue BASIC programs more intuitive, reliable, and flexible—whether you're coding locally or in online mode.What’s New and Why It MattersEdit Hash Data Files with ConfidenceVersion 2.8 allows developers to directly edit hash data files, streamlining workflows, and reducing the need for workarounds. This means faster iterations and fewer interruptions.File Locking ModesMV BASIC for Visual Studio Code v 2.8 supports locking modes on files, giving teams better control over concurrent access. This helps prevent accidental overwrites and ensures data integrity—especially useful in collaborative environments.Smarter Compile Flavor WarningsWe’ve improved warning messages for compile flavors, making it easier to spot and resolve issues early. This leads to cleaner builds and fewer surprises during deployment.Onl

Using AccuTerm 8.1.1.1136 we are connecting to a windows 2022 server running OpenSSH server.  Connection works and we can log in but the AccuTerm escape sequences are hit and miss.For example we can issue the escape sequence to run on the caps lock without issue, but when running the escape sequence to turn off the caps lock nothing happens.  The sequences are “ESC:STX:L” for caps lock on and “ESC:STX:M” for caps lock off.I turned on data capture and can see the correct data getting sent for the caps lock on, but either nothing is sent or the wrong sequence is sent for the caps lock off.We can run “ESC:STX:?”, “ESC:STX:I” and get the correct responses.Trying to change the terminal size to 132 or 80 characters, “ESC:STX:E” and “ESC:STX:N” nothing will happen.We have tried running Bitvise instead of the Windows OpenSSH server and had similar results.Changes to terminal type, character set/code, SSH configurations and more have had no changes.While we are connecting to an OAS instance, I

Greetings All,  I am running into an issue when using Accuterm. I just switched my internet provider to Startlink.  Startlink for home use does not have a dedicated IP address so I am using a GL.Inet GL-SFT1200 router that I have a  wireguard tunnel running on the router. I also I can log in direct from my PC using Surfshark with a -dedicated IP with no issues when connecting. When using wireguard I am able to connect but get an error message - "WED requires AccuTerm 2000 or later to run!  "  I am also trying to print to port 9100 to the wireguard but have not gotten far on this.  Am I missing something in the set up?  Thank you in advance. 

I understand that UV14.1 has a compatibility setting in uvconfig which allows it to support versions of SB+ before SB+6.5.0. Has anyone used this functionality and more specifically with SB+5.5/SB+5.4? If so, are there any things to be aware of? Thanks in advance

This is for a UNIVERSE environment. I've tried setting the account to use in servers.mvbasic.json, as it is using XDEMO by default at the moment which causes the authentication process to fail. I need to manually specify which account is used. Looking at the logs, it appears this is passed in during the "connect U2 start" stage as accountName, but both this and account seem to have no impact. Is this controllable? 

Enhancing Your Development Experience with New Features and Fixes in Rocket Software MV BASIC for VS Code 2.7.0 In the ever-evolving world of software development, staying ahead of the curve means continuously improving tools and workflows. We're excited to announce several new features and enhancements that will significantly boost your productivity and streamline your development process when using Rocket Software MV BASIC for VS Code. Separate Compile and Catalogue Option One of the standout features in our latest update is the separate compile and catalogue option. This enhancement allows developers to compile their programs independently from cataloguing them. By decoupling these processes, you gain greater flexibility and control over your development workflow. This means you can compile your code, test it thoroughly, and only catalogue it when you're confident it's ready for deployment. This separation helps in reducing errors and improving the overall quality of your software.

Recently a survey was sent to MVIS customers asking to provide the following usage information: API request volume:- Average number of API requests per day:- Peak number of API requests per day:- Total number of API requests in the past 30 days: Data volume: - Average size of data per request (in KB or MB):- Total data transferred via API in the past 30 days (in GB): Usage patterns:- Typical hours of peak usage (e.g., 9 a.m. – 5 p.m. UTC): One customer logged a support case asking how they could extract the information from the MVIS logs. I believe that the following information can be extracted from the "Perfstats_PER_REQ.log" which is created if you enable performance monitoring in all versions of MVIS. API request volume:- Average number of API requests per day:- Peak number of API requests per day:- Total number of API requests in the past 30 days: Usage patterns- Typical hours of peak usage (e.g., 9 a.m. – 5 p.m. UTC): The basic program "MVIS.REQUEST.TOTALS" (See below) should re

As I wrote in another thread I'm connecting to a database using a custom account. The account's path is: /u2/quiter/POSVENTA5 In that path I open a file, for example: /u2/quiter/POSVENTA5/BP/ACCSCR0 Then I try to click on another definition (ACCSCR0) to open it: * Carga datos IF HAY.AUTOFILL=1 THEN CODIGO.ED=XDATO * Lee registro CALL ACCSCR1(MAT XQ,MAT XXQ,XK,XMACRO,MAT XFIELD,XA,XV,XRESUL,MAT ENTR,XSTACK) END ELSE The editor then tries to open the file in /u2/quiter/POSVENTA5/ACCSCR1 instead of /u2/quiter/POSVENTA5/BP/ACCSCR1 so it fails. How can I fix the search path for the editor? Is there a way to do something like this: https://rocketsoftware.github.io/rocket-mvbasic/usage/Catalog/ for online editing? ------------------------------Héctor CortigueraQuiter Servicios Informaticos SL------------------------------

Hi all I'm trying to connect to our database using the Visual Studio Code extension. I've configured the server data in the JSON file, but it's connecting to a XDEMO account so it's not useful to me. So, the account is XDEMO and it connects to the server in this path: "/usr/uv/XDEMO" In our database, we have several accounts: "POSVENTA5", "GEN4GL", etc. I need to connect to one of this accounts, that are in the path "/u2/quiter/POSVENTA5", etc. How can I do this?------------------------------Héctor CortigueraQuiter Servicios Informaticos SL------------------------------

I have been struggling this for a few days now. This works of course in Terminal. When you right-clock on a program in VSCode, the bottom  two menu items are Catalog and Compile. I have researched this and it would seem several configurations need to be in place.  I do have the ssh configs set up, the BP file in the workspace, but it never finds the file or the program. Does anyone have the steps to rectify this? Thanks in advance,  Roy.

🧠 Jump to Top in Multi-Value Fields – A Simple Trick to Loop Input Have you ever faced the challenge of designing a screen with a fixed number of multi-value lines, and wanted the cursor to jump back to the top once the last line is reached? For a long time, I couldn't find a way to do this. But now I've discovered a simple trick-and I'd like to share it in case someone else has the same need. 🔧 Scenario Imagine you have a screen like this: You want the cursor to jump back to the first line when pressing <Enter> or <Down> on the fourth line. 🛠️ How to Implement It In the Process Before of the MV field, set: (P:@REFRESH = -2) In the Controlling/Dependent Options, press F3 on Control/Dep/Read and enter the following in Process on MV Disp: 4 is the number of maximum MV lines you want. the 1 in /1.1 refers to the StepNo of the field you want to jump back to (in this case, line 1 of field 1). 💬 Final Thought I just wanted to share this idea with the SB community-thanks

Hi facultative code folding in vscode languages is a good productivity thing but not enabled by default for the Rocket mvbasic extension. It allows you to hide unimportant code in the editor not already hidable because of indentation. The language-configuration.json configuration file allows for a folding region to be added/enabled. This is the json snippet I manually edit into the client and server config files. "folding": { "offSide": true, "markers": { "start": "^\\\\s*!!\\\\s*#region", "end": "^\\\\s*!!\\\\s*#endregion" } } Could we get default folding markers added please. ------------------------------Stuart BoydellAU------------------------------
