Rocket MultiValue

Another frustrating problem I need some help with.  Added a new laser printer, wired ethernet connection. jBase 5.8.5 on Windows 10 Multi-page program output now prints 60 lines on page 1 , 4 lines on page 2, 60 lines on page 3 and so on.  There is no way to set a default line/page on the printer.  I've tried using TERM to change the printer length to 56  and tried creating a formtype with the shortened length but neither worked.  How do I "override" or work around the misplaced formfeed?? Thanks, Marc------------------------------Marc ZitcerPresDavidson SupplyPaterson NJ US------------------------------

Hi All -  I just found on our system that exiting a program does not clear an active select list. Im unsure if this is universe specific as I did not have to clear select buffers in Unidata, but this has shown to be an issue here. There is a basic CLEARSELECT statement just as there is at TCL. Is that a standard for anyone running Universe? To use CLEARSELECT in your programs? Do you use it generically when entering or exiting a program?  And now that I've seen this - what other pieces should I be on the lookout for that are saved between programs by user? Obviously named commons and passed variables but...any like this savedlist that might not be obvious? Lastly, is there an alternative to changing the code? Like an option I could set at tcl or in code that clears the buffers when exiting a program? Thanks!------------------------------Kathleen HambrickProgrammer at Colwell------------------------------

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.

I'm trying to work out the correct syntax for the "select" option to "limit the returned results" when testing in Swagger using a UniVerse database as the data source. For example, I have a date field and want to select all the dates in a specific year. Is there some documentation that details how this works? I've tried standard UniVerse syntax, standard SQL syntax, but neither of these seem to do what I want to do.

All, I use chatGPT+. I asked it to write a multivalue basic program to calculate a loan payment. This is the result. 0001: PROGRAM LoanPayment0002: PRINT "Enter the loan amount: ";0003: INPUT LoanAmount0004: PRINT "Enter the annual interest rate (as a percentage): ";0005: INPUT AnnualInterestRate0006: PRINT "Enter the loan term in years: ";0007: INPUT LoanTerm0008:0009: MonthlyInterestRate = (AnnualInterestRate / 100) / 120010: NumberOfPayments = LoanTerm * 120011:0012: IF MonthlyInterestRate = 0 THEN0013:    MonthlyPayment = LoanAmount / NumberOfPayments0014: ELSE0015:    MonthlyPayment = LoanAmount * MonthlyInterestRate * (1 + MonthlyInterestRate) ^ NumberOfPayments / ((1 + MonthlyInterestRate) ^ NumberOfPayments - 1)0016: END0017:0018: PRINT "Monthly payment: ", MonthlyPayment 'R2'0019: END It took a bit of cajoling but within three corrections this was

Intermittently, we are getting the following error message when updating large files.  The files check out OK in jBase and using chkdsk.    Running 5.8.5 on Windows.  Application programs have not been changed in years. Dynamic files READ error number 2007 at position xx:xxxx, File '\\xxx', item id 'xxx' Error 2007 during READ_ERROR to file xxx Enter I to Ignore.... When this happens, I do a 'select' of only the records that reference that particular item.id and re-run the program.  The item will then update properly!  Short term, is there a way to capture the error messages and bypass the prompt so as not to have to interrupt the operation and allow the program to run to completion?  Any diagnostic help would be appreciated.

hello,  when we define a function like  def funcname(a,b,c); return (a * b + c) Can we use keyword argument syntax when calling a method/function ?  like PyCallFunction("module","funcname",a=1,c=2,b=3)   or is it mandatory to use positional argument ? PyCallFunction("module","funcname",1, 3, 2) ?  many thanks------------------------------Manu Fernandes------------------------------

    Key Takeaways:Do not use dimensioned redimensionable-array elements for EXECUTE variable targets for CAPTURING, RTNLIST and SETTING and variable sources for PASSLIST.The areas of concern:1. Information style redimensionable arrays may change size in the executed program.2. Arrays of either flavor compute to a temporary in a PASSLIST that gets overwritten by constructing the command string in a concatenation. This UniVerse bug results in the command string passed to the command as the select list.  Environment:UniVerse 11.3.1.6022Fedora Linux UniVerse supports two kinds of array.  Pick sytle arrays have fixed dimensions at compile time. Each element of the array takes one VARTAB (variable table) slot. VARTAB uses an unsigned short for an index which limits the total number of slots in a compilation unit, program or subroutine, to 64K elements. (This limits an array to a maximum of 64K elements.)

My application seems to be blocking the ssh connection from Visual Studio Code to my Linux server. With other Rocket products the user is identified as terminal, phantom, uvnet, etc. Is there a special type for the login from MVVS?

I get a lot of survey's everyday. I have received several from Rocket Software on what I would like to see as Enhancements to UniVerse in particular, but multivalue in general. I thought I would toss this our for discussion with the forum members.

Somewhere along the line, we have lost the setting in SB client where if you highlight and copy some text on the screen, then paste it into something (like NotePad++ or an email), it loses the CR/LFs.  This means, instead of retaining the format from the screen, the pasted result is one big string on a single line. Where is the setting to tell SB client to keep the CR (CR/LF) when you copy data from the screen? Thanks JRI

Last year, having switched back from Unidata to Universe, you all helped me with simple triggers - which on universe are made as file indexes. Now I am trying to apply that to a NEXT.ID but it's stored in a DICT, not uncommon for PICK. Trying to make an index on a dict, however, didn't work. >CREATE.INDEX DICT KHTEST TRIGGER   Only records of type A, D, I or S allowed! I know this trigger works as I had applied it to the data portion originally. Ideas, suggestions, thoughts?

Hi All! We have a application (SEMtek developed by Entrinsik) utilizing Universe 11.3 and SB 5.5, with the client being SBC 5.5 (currently).  We've gone through multiple upgrades, however I believe our limit has been reached for UV and SB+ due to some programing limitation in the produce that are no longer being developed.  We've had this running for 15+ years, so all iterations of the supporting software along the line. We're using SBClient uding the GUI for SB.  We've had no issues with SBC up until newer versions of Windows 10 and similar time frame Server OSs.  In Server 2016, all items the app uses in SBC seem to work fine.  In newer releases of Windows 10 and Server 2019, SBC the main interfaces seem to work fine, but some sub menu items completely crashes and closes out the app without error.  I have ticket in with our VAR Entrinsik and will be digging myself to see if I can find what processes this death clicks are using.  Just thought I'd post here to see if s

Is there an environment variable or some config setting in jBASE that will prevent a programmer from attempting to write a record with a null record key?  I would prefer this work globally and not based on a particular file.  This system has a lot of very old code that has probably gone through several conversion prior to jBASE.   I am aware I could put a trigger on the file, but I'm finding this issue across multiple files and would like to resolve it quickly.   We're currently running jBASE 5.7 but will soon be upgrading to 5.8.  Thanks. ------------------------------J EdwardsIT ManagerPlimpton & Hills------------------------------

hi rocket, thank you for the functionnality.  Really important when we perform remote maintenance... no need to sync all the system. So, here is my first return of experience. 1/ why userid/passwd in clear into json ?  Please, use vscode-api#SecretStorage (same comment about offline editing/connected)  2/ after Connect, the list of UVAccount is not sorted / filtered : can you add a property 'selectOptions' in the server objet configuration then you execute 'SELECT UV.ACCOUNT ' + selectOptions and we can set it like 'WITH @ID LIKE "blabla" BY dictname ... etc 2.1/ add a property ''account.included[]' to the servers settings 3/ when we drill down into an account, rmv.Explorer lists (not clear) ?? all ? Type1 ? ... so can you add into servers settings 'files.included[]' ? 4/ when we drill down into a source directory rmv.Explorer list all source files.  so can you add the same filtering like in the  'Group view'  5/ can we h

There are two truths I live by - Never start a land war in Africa and PICK (English, retrieve) is HORRIBLE at creating reports! Having moved into a position at a company using Universe, they somehow didn't know that they need a report writer package and have been coding Excel reports through FTD. This is very time consuming and not particularly good at reports. In the past I have used Crystal reports, PHP, ODBC, etc.  Can I get you alls opinion what is the most straightforward, most robust report writer out of Universe (PICK)? Ideally one not overly expensive ;) Thanks! Kathleen------------------------------Kathleen HambrickProgrammer at Colwell------------------------------

I am new to accuterm, about a year now, and am still struggling with trying to understand the pieces I need in place to have a graphical accuterm screen display on the internet. I've been told repeatedly that its possible and functioning with my release of accuterm8. Can anyone share with me even a static screen accuterm display on the web? Even just a box that says 'You are here.'There are obviously pieces I need for the web address to access my accuterm display but I don't even know what questions to ask....Anyone?------------------------------Kathleen HambrickProgrammer at Colwell------------------------------

I was exploring our use of the STATUS statement in a simple BASIC program that we use to show info on a file. There wre 3 date/time pairs: Last Access Last Modification Last Status Last access shows a date from years ago, so it "feels" more like a creation date.  Last Status and Last Modification show identical values. What are these supposedly tell me? Nelson------------------------------Nelson SchrothpresidentC3CompleteShop LLCHarrison OH US------------------------------
