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. 

The code below suddenly stopped working. I perform the same request with a curl statement and it works.  does someone see something I should change or add to my request or is universe 11.xx not up to date with modern security? 051:       HTTP.METHOD    = "POST"052:       OUT.URL        = TOKEN.URL:TOKEN.ENDPOINT053:       VERSION.CODE   = setHTTPDefault('VERSION','1.1')054:       CTX.TYPE       = ''055:       MY.RTN.CODE    = createSecurityContext(MY.CONTEXT, CTX.TYPE)056:       CREATE.CODE    = createSecureRequest(OUT.URL,HTTP.METHOD,HANDLE,MY.CONTEXT)057:       RET1 = setRequestHeader(HANDLE,'Accept','*/*')058:       RET1 = setRequestHeader(HANDLE,"content-type","application/x-www-form-urlencoded")059:       RET1 = setRequestHeader(HANDLE,'HTTP Protocol','HTTP/1.1')060:       REQUEST.OUT  = 'grant_type=password'061:       REQUEST.OUT:= '&username=':USERNAME062:       REQUEST.OUT:= "&password=":USERPW063: *064:       stat           = submitRequest(HANDLE,30000,REQUEST.OUT,RESP

Hi everyone, been a while since I visited and even longer since I shared.We are moving from SQL file triggers to the IDX file triggers and ran into a small issue where we have a trigger on the DICT and a trigger on the DATA levels of the same file.Getting the DATA level trigger working is simple but how to get the trigger in the DICT working?Not sure if anyone has done this before but in short the answer is you need two dictionary items: INDEX.ITYPE for the data level and D_INDEX.ITYPE for the dictionary level. To build the index on D_INDEX.ITYPE you need to use the “USING” clause in the CREATE.INDEX command:CREATE.INDEX DICT FILENAME D_INDEX.ITYPE USING DICT FILENAME NO.NULLSThe trigger will now fire when a record is added/deleted/modified in DICT FILENAME.

Universe 11.3.1,  AIX 7200-05-11-2546We noticed when comparing very large numbers they don’t correctly evaluate to not equal. Specifically, if two variables are over 17 characters in length and they don’t match correctly. See the below sample program and its output. The (X NE Y) does not evaluate to true until the length of the strings are 17 characters even though the variables are never equal. Does anyone know what is causing this to happen?  X = '0587634906513946593645'Y = '0587634906513946593646' FOR Z = 1 TO 8  CRT X, Y, (X NE Y),LEN(X)  STRLN = LEN(X)  X = RIGHT(X,STRLN-1)  Y = RIGHT(Y,STRLN-1)NEXT ZOutput:0587634906513946593645        0587634906513946593646        0         22        587634906513946593645         587634906513946593646         0         21        87634906513946593645          87634906513946593646          0         20        7634906513946593645 7634906513946593646 0         19                            634906513946593645  634906513946593646  0         18        

A recent client asked how we produce different type documents within in the Universe/Unidata database. There is no Rocket Software product that does that I am aware of. Using a Eclipse open-source product called BIRT with a Universe/Unidata ODA interface you can produce all of those types and more. So, am I right about no Rocket Software product that creates reports in different formats?

I can’t remember the initiation command to use instead of “uv” to enable multiple concurrent sessions.  Can someone help me?Thanks, Dale

I read through the documentation and compared it to what I am seeing on the system. There is a DEVICES record called OKIDATA.  This has control character definitions and such. In the USER-COLD-START, there is a STARTPTR 0, 0, 0, S13 & STARTPTR 1, 1, 0, S10 and other for the rest. There is also an ASSIGNFQ 1,OKIDATA (C If I do LISTPTR I have several printers, 0, 1, 2, 6 and 7 and all say serial and DEV or PROCESS # is 13, 10, 11, 14 and 9.On the server itself, the OKIDATA printer name is OKI-C711-DCA9AC. How is the OKI-C711-DCA9AC assign to the OKIDATA?  I am thinking it is something to do with a configuration somewhere for the Dev or Process, but not sure what.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.------------------------------Troy DittbernerPresidentNorthstar Data Services IncBrooklyn Park VA US------------------------------

Hi everyone! Is there a version of OpenQM for personal use or study purposes? If so, where can I download it?

Hi everyone, Does anyone know how to make the "Universe Telnet Service" that runs on our IBS Application server, to only use 128bitblock Ciphers, and disable the other lower 64bit block ciphers? The service listens on port 992. The problem is that our Qualys VUN scanning tool is picking up that port 992 is a security risk againstBirthday attacks against TLS ciphers with 64bit block size vulnerability (Sweet32) and goes on to say"Disable and stop using DES, 3DES, IDEA or RC2 ciphers.  We believe that the "Universe Telnet Service" uses OpenSSL that offers out these lower level ciphers, but we have no idea how to to best address this sothat the only ciphers used are 128-bit or higher ciphers. We are waiting on our third party support to get back to us as they have opened a ticket today. Current version of OpenSSL is OpenSSL 1.0.2m-fips  2 Nov 2017, though "Programs and Features" is saying OpenSSL 1.1.1k (64-bit) was installed on March 2021. Universe is 12.1.1 is installed. Thanks in advan

Michael Rajkowski March 29, 2017 Rocket Software has added support for the Python development language to Rocket® UniVerse 11.3.1 and Rocket® UniData 8.2, on Linux and Windows only. Python will also be added to Rocket® D3 in the second half of 2017. Adding Python support gives experienced and new MultiValue developers the opportunity to code in one of the most popular development languages available today. To help developers get started Rocket created a Python community page that hosts links to code samples, documentation and lots more. PYTHON IN MULTIVALUE – THE BASICS Python now sits at the same level as the other access method used by the MultiValue developer. Our MultiValue Python module consists of two parts. The main access point for the Python developer is the u2py module, which is Python code. The u2py module calls a module written in C. Since both Python and the U2 databases are written in C, it is compatible and can be embedded into the database. The entire box represents

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------------

We are validating our software package will run on UV version 14.2.1 and noticed the TCL UNLOCK command has been changed since version 11.3.1. UNLOCK ALL is no longer valid and the command will not unlock some record locks.

Hello,I am using the MVSP utility from D3 version 9.2. This is the second time that I have encountered a new error message. What could be causing this? Could it be related to the VME workspace? It is currently at 55%. Could it be linked to the server memory, which did not appear to be saturated?After this message appeared, the D3 database stopped responding, and it was no longer possible to connect via Telnet.Message received from the TIGR.MVSP program:System.Net.Sockets.SocketException (0x80004005): An operation on a socket could not be performed because the system did not have enough buffer space or because the queue was full 127.0.0.1:9000 at System.Net.Sockets.TcpClient..ctor(String hostname, Int32 port) at TIGR.MVSP.Pick.ConnectCore(String hostName, Int32 hostPort, String userName, String userPassword, Boolean sslConnect, Boolean licEnterprise)Have other D3 users encountered this type of issue? Any information that could help guide me toward resolving this problem would be appreci
