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?

We run GUIDEs every night around 1:00 AM.  On Sunday, one of our files, SODEL, suddenly had thousands of errors on an indexed field (SCHED.DT).  I doubt there were any changes to the file since Friday and we had no errors before.  I pulled up several of the noted records in the editor, went into up-arrow mode, but did not see any errors, control characters, etc. in the data.In a copy of our LIVE account, called MIDNIGHT (a copy of LIVE created ad midnight), and typecat GUIDE_XERROR.LIS | morewe see this:This goes on and on, possibly for all 500K records.  The GUIDE_XERROR.LIS file is huge, over 22 megs.From within UniData, if I type “SSELECT SODEL BY F4”, I get:I get this for a bunch of records (maybe every record).  If I edit the SODELs, none have any escape characters, so what is this error trying to tell me?This is followed by: The keys to the SODEL all look correct.I build a new file called SODEL.JRI and from the command line, copied all the records to this new file.  It has the sa

Hi,Using VS Code and extension Rocket MV BASIC 2.7.0 is connecting 100% to my UniData account version 8.3. But as soon as I go to any version higher then Rocket MV BASIC 2.7.0 I get a error Account Not Found from MV BASIC. The config files have not change between the versions. Is there anything I need to do with the UniData Account to support a higher version of Rocket MV BASIC?

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.

Hi folks, I have a performance issue with the large-scale system. I know that this discussion depends on resources, so please assume sufficient resources are available. Let's think about a single read-only transaction performance by just 'run  <file name>'.  Assuming that elapsed time is 5 sec and CPU time is 1 sec. Then I tried processing this query by concurrent 2 users by phantom, but each user of elapsed and CPU time was very much worse than single. Roughly, it's 10 times worse. In reality, Is it impossible to get a benefit from parallel processing? ---- Sample basic program. cnt = 300000 open "STOCK" to fp else abort startTime = Time()startTimeCpu = System(9) for i=1 to cnt    read rec from fp,"101" else abortnext i endTime = Time()endTimeCpu = System(9) print "elapse      : ":(endTime - startTime)print "elapse(cpu) : ":(endTimeCpu - startTimeCpu)/1000 end ------------------------------------- ------------------------------Yukio KozukaSimount CorpBunkyo-ku JP----------

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?

I have put together a JAVA/DataBasic  program for D3 that works with https://messagemedia.com Bulk SMS texting API if anyone's interested goto http://www.custlang.nz -> utilities->SMS for notes and to try it, see also other things such as a Natural Language Demo. ------------------------------Robert DavenportProgrammerCustom Language SolutionsAuckland NZ------------------------------

We are in the process of upgrading from Unidata 8.2.4 to 8.3.2.  While the OpenSSL bundled with Unidata has upgraded from v1 to v3 as part of this upgrade, the OpenSSL 3 is still showing vulnerabilities as part  of our vulnerability scanningOur security team are asking if its possible for Unidata to use the version of OpenSSL thats installed as part of the Red Hat Linux and kept up to date via patching.Is this possible?  Is it a god/bad idea?  Is there a clear process for doing this?

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.

UOPY Example - Working with JSON  Making the connection The following code is a simple example to connect to a local U2 Database. In this example I am connecting to UniData, but the code would work the same against UniVerse, the only thing you would need to modify is the server and account settings. In [1]: import uopy import getpass user = input("Enter user name? ") passwd = getpass.getpass("Enter Password? ") def makeconnection(user, password): config = { 'user': user, 'password': passwd, 'service': 'udcs', 'account': 'C:\\\\U2\\\\ud82\\\\XDEMO', 'encoding': 'GB18030', 'pooling_on': 'False' } thissession = uopy.connect(**config) return thissession session = makeconnection(user, passwd) print(str(session)) Enter user name? mrajkowski Enter Password? ········ <uopy._session.Session object {'host': 'localhost', 'account': 'C:\\\\U2\\\\ud82\\\\XDEMO', 'por

I’m attempting to load Universe 10.2 (yeah, I know it’s old) on a Windows 11 Pro platform.  I’m getting a load error: “Could not load UniVerse DLL D:\IBM\UV\BIN\universe.dll”.  Has anyone had any success in loading this releases on Windows 11, or have found a work around for it? (beside upgrading..lol)Thank you all in advance..Mark Warner

i will have to upgrade a universe server and a unidata server in the coming year. i thought why are we running both. when i upgrade the unidata server should i convert it to universe. is it more work than doing the upgrade itself. if so how much more work.

Are there any TCL/command line tools for updating Unidata ODBC configuration ala VSG?
