Rocket MultiValue

Hello friends and colleagues! I am running #AccuTerm v8.0.1026 with a premium license issued by Zumasys. This version doesn't show any updates available and I have questions about features and the futrure of this software. 1) Almost all of my work these days is with #Ubuntu Linux and AccuTerm continues to satisfy most needs. I'm hoping to integrate AccuTerm more with the OS, and see this fine application being referenced in Linux-centric circles. Does Rocket have a similar vision? 2) These days it wouldn't be "too" tough to convert critical host code from FP.BP to JavaScript and run from shell, ideally with NodeJS rather than MV. Is anything being done on that front? 3) Since AccuTerm responds to escape sequences from the host, any host, has there been any effort to define or wrap common features at the OS level to invoke functionality in the client? For example: CHAR(27):CHAR(2):'>notepad.exe':CHAR(13):CHAR(27):CHAR(2):'I' That sequence from BASIC can easily be sent from the Linux

Blinks. Our product uses the Universe database with Pick Flavored account running on various Windows OS platforms. What, if anything, can be done to reduce the number of file  blinks that we are seeing? Three causes that we've identified so far are: Power failure, No more disk space, Anti-virus.  Are any UV versions (or Windows versions) more susceptible than others to Blinks? Thanks in advance for your inputs.------------------------------Gil SteidleDEVDDI System Incbrick NJ US------------------------------

Hi all We want to know which users are locking a file. What we do now: 1- Execute LIST.READU. We can get the PID of the session that is locking the file. 2- With this PID we can execute a LISTU command or run a ps BASH command 3- Parse the output so we can pair PIDs and usernames This is quite convoluted, and, also, we have discovered that the LIST.READU output has changed in the newer Universe version (even with the INTERNAL parameter) so we have to keep check of the system version to get the PIDs. Is there a way to ask the system what are the users that are locking a file?------------------------------Héctor CortigueraQuiter Servicios Informaticos SL------------------------------

I needed to extract just the 4-digit year from an invoice file.  I created both an "A" and "D" dictionary item using "DY4" (called ORDER.YEAR) It lists the file perfectly, but when I try to select using ORDER.YEAR it finds nothing:      ex:  SELECT BILLING WITH ORDER.YEAR EQ "2019" 0 record(s) selected to SELECT list #0. Also strange - if I add a "[" OR a "]" OR both, it works?      ex:  SELECT BILLING WITH ORDER.YEAR EQ "[2019"  or               SELECT BILLING WITH ORDER.YEAR EQ "2019]" or               SELECT BILLING WITH ORDER.YEAR EQ "[2019]" My solution was to create an I-discriptor to avoid issues in the future: 0001: I0002: OCONV(@RECORD<29>,"DY4")0003:0004: NYR0005: 4R0006: S0007: My fellow developers and I could not explain this, as it must be a flaw in the back-end. Just curious if this could be explained? Nelson ------------------------------Nelson SchrothpresidentC3CompleteShop LLCHarrison OH US------------------------------

I have reported this to support but wondered if a) anyone else has seen this issue, and b) warn those of you that may be unaware of it. The GETLIST or GETLISTV statement in QM Basic (not to be confused with GET-LIST from TCL) uses the syntax: GETLIST "LISTNAME" TO MY.LIST SETTING CNT ELSE whatever.... The SETTING CNT is what's broken here. Rather than return the count of items in LISTNAME it returns the count of the most recent active select list you may have had - even though it's no longer active. You can test this quite simply by writing a program such as: PRINT "Listname: ":INPUT LNAMEGETLIST LNAME TO MY.LIST SETTING CNT ELSE STOPCRT "Record Count: ":CNTFOR I = 1 TO CNT   CRT MY.LIST<I>NEXT I If you compile / catalog that, then create yourself a savelist with 1 or 2 items in it then log off. Log back in you will be in a new session that has never had an active select list. Run the program, give it your listname and instead of the expected "Record Count: 2" and showing you the

I was migrating to a new server running Rocky Linux 9.4 and everything is working good. D3 installed, Cups working, migrated all Linux users, etc. When using Putty SSH it all works. But when I try to connect via AccuTerm 8 Secure Shell SSH version: auto, I get: No supported signature scheme exists (SSH).  -   and when I click to view details it says. No supported SSH2 signature scheme exists. The list of supported signature schemes received from the remote host does not contain a scheme supported by the local machine. SSH_ERROR_UNSUPPORTED_SIGN). Note: Accuterm's SSH2 implementation supports "ssh-dss'" and "ssh-rsa" signature schemes. ------------------------------Steve ShourdsVPPerfection Software IncNorth Palm Beach FL US------------------------------

My Universe 11.4.1 system started doing this today. If I'm in a running program and hit Ctl-C I get the break option menu. If I select "D" I get this: Break: Option (A,C,L,Q,D,?) =DAbnormal termination of UniVerse.Fault type is 11.  Layer type is BASIC run machine.Fault occurred in BASIC program GET.PY.FILE at address 8 It happens with every program. If I start the program with RAID instead of RUN it works. It wasn't doing this yesterday and I've rebooted the system but that didn't affect it. Does anyone have any idea where to look to fix it?------------------------------Joe GoldthwaiteConsultantPhoenix AZ US------------------------------

Hi allSo, we're on Linux 10.x and it's great - HOWEVER: Is there a way we can tell the update processor to flash compile (as opposed to just compile) code?Generally, one would exit and compile using Ctl XCJust asking My client is still using System Builder 5.1 (don't laugh) and there is an option to call a program in the dictionary (correlative field):CALL MYPROGRAMThe interesting this is that this still functions (calling the program etc) but it takes a LOOOONG time to run.If one does a 'list filname mydictvar' then it's OK speed; however select filename mydictvar - takes forever!Any clues? One last point - has anyone out there got the System Builder source code? If so, I'd really like to connect with you.

I am stepping through code and to avoid long subroutine calls, I do a  "BLnnnn"  in the BASIC Debugger where nnnn is a line after the subroutine call I want to 'blip through' -- more often than not now, the BL command is met with a minidump: I have altered the code a little to avoid anything proprietary -- but this is the gist... I did not want to step into the subroutine at line 1031. SO ... I reasonably put in BL1032 which should catch me right after the routine comes back: But instead..... .L [1024]        SOMETHING<2>    = COMPANY.NO:@VM:INVOICE.NO [1025]        SOMETHING<2,-1> = INTERNAL.USER.ID:@VM:"":@VM:"1" [1026]        SOMETHING<8> = BATCH.NO ; SOMETHING<9> = "POST" (1027)        IF DEBUG.FLAG THEN [1028]          IF ( DO.A.DEBUG ) THEN SOMETHING<1,-1> = "$VDEBUG" [1029]          PRINT "Calling routine to DETERMINE.OUTPUT.DEVICE ..."

Attached you'll see two jpgs of the same file generated by my software using D3 Linux 10.3 and Accuterm 7. The bottom file was received by the Thunderbird email client. The top file was received by the Yahoo email client. The Thunderbird client and another MS product have also received the files as Chinese characters. The actual file that my software generates and then emails in the body of the email is the Yahoo file. Why, pray tell,  is this happening and ONLY with this customer's system? None of my other customers are having this problem. UPDATED: Changed the logo to GIF instead of a JPG and everything is working just fine. ------------------------------Richard GinsburgPresidentGinsburg ConsultingMiddleburg VA US------------------------------

Hi, I used Oracle Linux on my last 2 servers as I needed to build them after Centos had "died" but before Rocket had  certified Alma  & Rocky. I need to build another server and would like opinions as to which is better to go for, and why - Rocky or Alma?! Also any potential gotchas with either of them.

When Linux got rid of xinetd in version 9, changes had to be made to D3, particularly in the area of telnet listeners. This includes turnkey telnet (telnet to Linux and get a D3 login prompt instead of a Linux login prompt), nailed telnet (a range of TCP ports that each connect to a specific PIB instead of the next available PIB), as well as the MVSP telnet listener, typically on TCP port 9000. systemd replaced the xinded functionality and is now used by D3 to set up these listeners. Now that D3 over Linux version 9 has been out for a while, it has come to our attention that there are some things missing from D3's systemd configuration which is causing some D3 and Linux stability issues. We are currently working to get formal patches out to mitigate these issues. Meanwhile, the fixes we are implementing are listed below and can be implemented manually to alleviate the problem while we're waiting for the formal patches. ______D3 Turnkey Telnet Service______ To fix a standard D3 telnet l

Had some code doing strange things.  This is the example:      IF VAR1 = "UNKNOWN" THEN *   CALL SEND.EMAIL(ORDER.NO)   do other things      There was no END statement.  My best guess was that U2 considered the "*" at the end as a NULL and allowed it to compile. Does anyone know? We changed it to be the following to solve the problem.      IF VAR1 = "UNKNOWN" THEN       CALL SEND.EMAIL(ORDER.NO)       END   do other things      ------------------------------Nelson SchrothpresidentC3CompleteShop LLCHarrison OH US------------------------------

Have you upgraded to either 11.4 or 12.2?  A while back I went from 11.3 to 12.1.  (In our case, we were motivated to jump because we were running on an old version of Windows server  that our system admins wanted to upgrade &, iirc, our version of 11.3 wasn't authorized for where they wanted to go.) We've had some I/O problems with 12.1 & it looks like Rocket is not really maintaining 12.1 with hot-fixes or enhancements & instead encouraged us to go to 12.2.    But now I see there is an 11.4.  And rumor has it there may be at least 1 more 12.1 I/O bug that hasn't been fixed yet in 12.2. We aren't really using any new 12.x functionality, & other than having to tweak some admin utilities that rely on things like LIST.READU which has changed,  I think we could go 'back' to 11.4 if that is a more stable release. The general question for people who are still on 11.3 is whether/why they should jump to 12.2 or 11.4?  TIA Chuck Stevenson ------------------------------Chuck S

Suppose you have a file like TEMP that has NAME, ADDRESS, and PHONE where NAME and ADDRESS are both single values but PHONE is multi value. Like so: TEMP..................... NAME...... ADDRESS... PHONE..... 1                         NAME1      ADDRESS1   PHONE12                         NAME2      ADDRESS2   PHONE2-1                                                PHONE2-2                                                PHONE2-3 If you SELECT TEMP NAME ADDRESS then you will get a list where each record supplies two items to the list, namely the NAME as one item and ADDRESS as another item: 001 NAME1002 ADDRESS1003 NAME2004 ADDRESS2 However, if you SELECT TEMP NAME ADDRESS PHONE then you get at minimum 3 elements per item, but if PHONE happens to have mulitple values, no NAME or ADDRESS is supplied to go with each value. 001 NAME1002 ADDRESS1003 PHONE1004 NAME2005 ADDRESS2006 PHONE2-1007 PHONE2-2008 PHONE2-3 How can I get blanks inserted for NAME and ADDRESS when PHONE has multiple

Hello all,         I use ODBC from rocket to open tables universe into excel.   It work pretty well for field with Single Value  (S) but not at all for field with Multivalue (M)   Is it the normal behaviour ?

Hello all,  I made a python script to read multivalue data in universe account and write in a file as CSV for example.  So, for decoding I use cp850.  Until that everithing working. When it's time to write I receive this error: error cp1252: UnicodeEncodeError: 'charmap' codec can't encode character '\\u2591' in position 88: character maps to «undefined» So decode is good with cp850, ok with that ?  Problem is encoding ?  Maybe I can force encoding in utf-8 but I don't know how to do that ? Do you have an universe idea ? :-)  Thank you !  Jean------------------------------deleuze jeanRocket Forum Shared Account------------------------------
