I have a client that runs Universe processes from cron. They do it by running a shell script that changes to the desired Universe folder and then execute "uv SOME.COMMAND".  Universe starts up and runs that command. The problem is, it first runs the LOGIN proc so if there's a menu, it displays that and only runs the command when they exit. They've gotten around that by checking to see if the user is running as root (which is how their cron jobs run) and going directly to TCL if that's the case. That works but has some issues. Is there any way to start Universe in an account but tell it to not run the account logon procs? Alternatively, is there any way from a basic program to tell if Universe was started with a command line argument? When you run uv with a command, does it push it onto the stack? How does it all work?

Greetings!Can someone point me to where on the Rocket site I can find high-level documentation regarding UniVerse EDA?  I have the docs that come with the UV 1.3.5 Documentation packet, but those are more setup and admin.  I'm looking for something I can use to help explain to those above me what it is and why we should use it - kind of like an executive summary/white paper.  I am hoping for more than the page that says "EDA is wonderful - contact us for more info", but less than the config/admin docs. I thought I had found it many moons ago, but am not having any luck today.  I am apparently not very good at searching for things on the Rocket site. Thanks!!Brian

Hey all,First time posting so I hope I'm in the correct area. Please correct me if I'm wrong.With the recent dropping of OpenSSL 1.1.1 support, I'm wondering if there has been communications from Rocket Software to support OpenSSL 3 for UniData 8.2.4. This is going to be a huge pain-point for our organization and are trying to prevent issues stemming from this if at all possible.From reading about OpenSSL 1.1 vs OpenSSL 3, there is a possibility of applications that use 1.1 to work with 3.0, but there's no guarantee. Backwards compatibility is limited. Another question because I'm curious: has anyone implemented openssl 3 for UniData 8.2.4 and, if so, were there any issues?Thanks,Brandon------------------------------Brandon BunchERP Solutions Specialist IIRocket Forum Shared Account------------------------------

The dual terminal debugging feature seems to have stopped working correctly. I am on Windows 11 running Unidata 8.2.3. I used to use this feature heavily when debugging character base screens. Without duel terminal, that task is very difficult. When a debug is encountered, the cmd line program first shows "!" as it should but entry of any valid debug command returns: ***Illegal debugger command. Try 'H' for HELP------------------------------Kevin HondMr.Self RegisteredKingsport TN US------------------------------

Looking for a way to locate the proper attribute in an output record where the appropriate data could end up on different attributes depending on conte Example,  I 1st need to differentiate the type of record, which can be done with something like :    IF INDEX(@ID,"WoJournal",1) THEN <acttion1> else if INDEX(@ID,"PoJournal",1) THEN <action2> ELSE <action3> 2nd, each action will need to find the proper attribute where the "STATUS" is logged. Then it will need to extract the STATUS itself from the line which can use FIELD statements. Looking for the best way to find the attribute # (2nd step) ------------------------------Nelson SchrothpresidentC3CompleteShop LLCHarrison OH US------------------------------

I am trying to get into the debugger in a program by typing the break key using <ctrl-c>, but all it does is print ^C.  I did BREAK ON before running the program. Is there a different key that needs to be used or how do I break to get into the debugger?

Troy,What terminal emulator are you using? Many of them intercept the CTRL-C key sequence thinking you want to use it for cut and paste. If it looks like all the settings in UV are correct, check the emulator settings.Brian

Does anyone have a guide or tips for setting up ODBC on Red Hat for use with the CONNECT command? UV 12.1, Red Hat 7.9.

Good morning, I have a system that uses the terminal type "VT220".  A couple of reports that I offer the option of either display or printer require 132 columns to display.  I use the ESC:"[?3h" command to do this expansion and it works fine.  At the end of the report when I attempt to reset the display to 80 columns by issiuing the ESC:"[?3l" command it does not work.  The screen stays in 132 column mode.  Does anybody know how to get the screen back to 80 columns?  The emulator is AccuTerm 8. Thanks, Dale

Hi all. I'm using the inspect module to extract information about our code. The code runs well in the Python console but when called from Universe Basic I'm getting a Python runtime error. The Python side is really simple. I've reduced my code to a minimal example that reproduces it: File: leer_documentacion_min.py This is the module that does the inspection import inspect import json import sys def parameter_as_string(name, p): def_value = f' = {p.default}' if (not type(p.default) == type(inspect._empty)) else '' typ_annot = f':{p.annotation.__name__}' if (p.annotation.__name__ != '_empty') else '' return f'{name}{typ_annot}{def_value}' def leer_documentacion_y_funciones(script): try: if script in sys.modules: sys.modules.pop(script) modulo = __import__(script) # rest of the code documentacion = modulo.__doc__ if modulo.__doc__ else 'Sin

Hi All, I have just upgraded from Accuterm 7 to Accuterm 8.1 I am currently having issues with opening multiple instances of Accuterm. I have 2 sessions saved to my desktop. I open the first session with no issue, on attempting to open the second session, the system reverts to the current open session of Accuterm. On the previous version of Accuterm, 2 separate windows would have opened. In the settings I have checked the option to 'open sessions in new window' any suggestions? thanks George.

Good day, I'm trying to understand the basics of the D3 environment. Mostly clueless, but not afraid. I'm a 30+ IT person. Started coding in C in early 80's. We currently handle all aspects of networks, integration etc. Have no experience with Pick, want to get up to speed on terminology, best practice environment etc. To start: Application uses Accuterm to connect.I believe D3 is running on the MultiValue environment. It is running on a Windows 2008 server.These folders exist:C:\\ProgramData\\RocketSoftware\\D3C:\\Program Files\\RocketSoftware\\D3C:\\Program Files (x86)\\RocketSoftware\\D3ODBC Our support is provided via Nexustek, but certain tasks, I want to handle and understand.

All, I was wondering... I have worked at many large UniVerse/UniData customers in my career. Some companies do a great job of certain facets of IT. I was thinking about contacting them to see if they would be open the a site visit. I realized that there could be proprietary secrets exposed during the site visit. After all I would not want to show someone around without some assurances that what they saw would be in essence 'What happens in Vegas Stays in Vegas'. Do you think there would be a way to display the best attributes of your IT shop without giving away the goods? What are the best practices that we can share with one another? ------------------------------Jon KristoffersonPick ProgrammerSnap-on Credit LLCLibertyville IL US------------------------------

There doesn't seem to be much love for the MVSP Java toolkit here. I've put together a demo (with all source code) using MVSP Java with Angular and Tomcat - D3 Demo The Java API is fast and easy to use IMO, and allows using D3 as though it was "just a database", just as you'd use (for example) Postgresql with JDBC, except with D3you have an embedded programming environment which is much easier (and flexible) than writing SQL procedures or embedding Java/Javascript functions in an SQL DBMS. It would be straightforward to create a SPA which makes REST calls to a web server using the same technique as the demo. MVSP Java also makes it very easy to create desktop Java Swing apps with D3. I know there's usually a lot of hate for Swing, but it's an e

Good morning.  I am a contractor and have been working in multi-value systems since February of 1980.  I have two customers in the Nashville area for whom I have worked for over twenty years.  Both of them look at me and recognize that I'm an old man and their only support for their systems.  Each is a local government department.  For one I have provided reservation/registration and for the other a highway department management system.  My highway department, to cover their future, is considering a vastly inferior system from the University of Tennessee.  I would like to find someone to back me up in providing maintenance and additional development for their UniVerse on Centos 8 system.  All the code is in basic with some AccuTerm getting integrated and all code is resident on both customers servers.  The highway department includes equipment scheduled maintenance, road job and requests management and costing, purchasing and inventory control.  If there is anyone out there who woul

Is there a way to call both FlashBASIC subroutines (compiled using the "(o" option) as well as standard subroutines from a single BASIC programme? I can of course mirror the non-Flash ones, but that's a bit untidy. I can't just Flash the non-Flash ones, as they are used all over the place by other BASIC programmes. I need to use the Flash option for a socket sender subroutine.

We utilize &COMO& for logging process activities that are run in brackground.  This works great for our purpposes, and we can turn this feature Off/On by process in a control file record. However, on our Development machine, a number of records appear whose origin we cannot determine.  Here is an example (SLICE is possibly one of our U2 account names OR could be a test user's login): >CT &COMO&     SCHEDULER_SLICE_308680740001 COMO SCHEDULER_SLICE_30868074 established 11:07:20 05 DEC 2023 Notes: Our production system does not seem to get any of these. We run Universe 11.3.1 Pick format on AIX 7.2 Does anyone have an idea what is generating these?  Nelson

We're trying to get the shared licensing working on all our machines. We've run into a very strange issue. Most of our users run the Adds Viewpoint Enhanced emulation with a terminal type of wy50-vp.  Everything works fine if they run the uv command. If they run uvdls it sends this string:   ESC BS "A" BS "R" BS "D" BS "T" BS EOT BS "/" BS "x" BS That's basically sending CHAR(27): "ARDT": CHAR(4):"/x" with a backspace after each character. This is borking up the Viewpoint Enhanced terminal so you have to reset it from the menu to get it working again. It doesn't seem to do it if I use the Linux console with the linux term type but I'm the only one that runs with those settings. I must be missing something. I couldn't find any information on how it's supposed to work so I'm asking here. ------------------------------Joe GoldthwaiteConsultantPhoenix AZ US------------------------------

Hi Guys, I'm trying to turn on the AccuTerm UV license sharing with a downloadable macro so that the users don't have to change anything themselves. The macro is really simple:       MACRO =           "With ActiveSession.Settings"       MACRO := CHAR(25):"    .DeviceLicenseMode = 1"       MACRO := CHAR(25):"    .Apply"       MACRO := CHAR(25):"End With"         * Send the VBA script to the AccuTerm session       PRINT CHAR(27):CHAR(2):'P':MACRO:CHAR(13): If the macro changes the DeviceLicenseMode then the macro halts until I hit the enter key. If it's already set then it doesn't. Any idea why? It's almost like it's waiting for
