I have a need to provide a user input prompt that times out gracefully after a specific period.I am using !EDIT.INPUT and that captures the input well.What I am missing is a graceful method of setting a timeout for it.I have attempted to use the AUTOLOGOUT command.That does trigger a logoff (an ungraceful exit but an exit non the less).Does anyone know of a way to assign an input timeout period for !EDIT.INPUT - or even just INPUT @ - that allows code to register and react to the non-input of data in a graceful manner?------------------------------Gregor ScottSoftware ArchitectPentana Solutions Pty LtdMount Waverley VIC AU------------------------------

I am currently using VSCode using the Remote SSH tools and modifying code on the server. The repository on the Linux server is actually configured as a git instance.It's my understanding, using the MVVS extension, the git repository is on the user's PC or shared drive (OneDrive) but the files on the Linux server are not actually a git repository. The net result of this is that the version of a program on the server is always the latest saved version, regardless of branch.It appears that this SFTP extension works well for keeping items in the local repository uploaded to the server. Any other suggestions?This could actually simplify life to some extent. The cautionary tale is that if someone modifies an item on the server side, it must be manually pulled back to the user's repository. Or, is there an "automagic" means of doing that? Also, any items ID's may need to b

Just wondering if anyone is using the WOBJ programs to work with JSON objects?   What has been your experience?   Have you found any help documents or tutorials on using WOBJ? It seems that we need a easy way to take multivalue object that we all love and send to a program to create JSON from file and then take the JSON and save to a file.  Have created a dictionary driven tool that works with the older nwbuildjson subroutine but it has limitations when trying to add arrays of objects into the json. Just wondering if anybody has found a pick solution?   ------------------------------Craig CurtisSystem ProgrammerSevier School DistrictRichfield UT US------------------------------

Our program uses a pre-compile routine which modifies the code before running the BASIC command to create the object code. Since Rocket MVVS appears to call the BASIC command when compiling, I'm wondering if there might be a way to call our pre-compile routine instead of BASIC.We're in the process of adopting Git and this would help us take full advantage of Rocket MVVS.Thanks in advance for any ideas.

One of our Linux Admins asked if there were any Rocket recommendations on RHEL TUNED  package.  I didn't see any references in the knowledgebase and figured others might have input.  Here's the URL he referenced:  https://computingforgeeks.com/optimize-linux-system-performance-with-tuned-adm/------------------------------Charles CarpenterUV DBATailored Shared Services LLCHouston TX US------------------------------

At the risk of being told "You should not do that!", I'm working with a 35 year old code base that has been on Pick, AIX and Linux over the years. So, folks decided to used characters like asterisks ("*") and question marks ("?") in item ID's as delimiters. When archiving these items and moving them from Linux to Windows, I have functions for converting the ID's to URL's and back. However, these items will not move cleanly from the Linux folders to Windows folders. So, the question at hand is whether there's a good option for converting those item ID's in flight. Unfortunately, there are too many places where those ID's are embedded in code to go down the path of fixing them all, even though that might be preferable. An aside, WinSCP has implemented nice functionality that makes these conversions when moving from Linux to Windows and back...------------------------------Jeff TeterWoodforest National BankThe Woodlands, TX----------------

HELP! Running jBase 5.8.5 on Windows.  No recent changes to operating system or hardware. Making minor code changes in an order entry program that we've run for years. Modified code, re-compiled and re-cataloged six times this morning.  After last re-compile the program no longer processes any of the file READs in the program!!!   Put an "on error" capture on the READ commands and get error message "file not found".  Files are there and will LIST correctly.  Other programs can access and read the files. jDiag attached. All help will be appreciated as we are dead in the water without the order entry system!  Marc Zitcer

One of my customers has a phantom named "SLEEPY" that runs continuously making nightly backups, processing transactions from a Fuelmaster pump system and producing some daily reports. Currently we start SLEEPY manually from the Centos 8 console as "root" after each startup; UniVerse 11.3.4. I would like to automate his start as part of the boot process. I think I understand the .rc command to start the UniVerse session but I'm uncertain about getting it started as "root", spawning the phantom and then logging out. I would appreciate any suggestions.Dale

i am looking for information about XMAPAppendRec beyond what is published in the BASIC Extensions Version 11.3.3 document. Specifically, I am seeking details on why the serialized output to XML omits elements when the corresponding field value in the data base is empty. I am also curious about the function appearing to only process attribute 7 of dict items instead of processing attribute 8 for correlatives and attribute 7 for conversions. If I could just "look at" the source code for the function all my questions would be answered.------------------------------Brian ArnoldprincipalRocket Forum Shared Account------------------------------

I feel like I must be missing this but have been unable to find it in the documentation.   Is there a way to set the focus to a particular grid cell in code?   I have a grid with a selection box.  If the user selects a given row I would like to take them immediately to the text box in column X on that row for input.  Thanks.

I do LIST filename NAME   .... and got back results -- it was pulling Attribute 4 of the file.  Which, was just odd.  Turns out filename does not have a DICT called NAMEVOC does not have a DICT called NAMESO ... where did the system FIND this dict to display attribute 4?Once I installed a DICT called NAME In either DICT filename. or  VOC, it worked as expected.But still -- where was it looking to 'find' something called "NAME" that was returning attribute 4??THANKS!------------------------------David WolvertonIndependentSunset Programming IncWaltham MA US------------------------------

 We love our mvBase customers and wanted to take this opportunity to provide you with some important details. First and foremost, mvBase applications will continue to be supported While we are moving mvBase through our Product Lifecycle to End of Limited Support in September, this simply means support is available but restricted.  Also, you can still renew your maintenance contract. Rocket Software customers on maintenance are entitled to obtain product upgrades at no additional charge (if new versions are available).

We had an unusual issue where it APPEARS Attb 2 of a DIR VOC type cannot exceed a certain length.LIST / SELECT both work as expected.However, AE using an Active SELECT list or just 'raw' would return "New Item" and anything Filed would issue a WRITE error (Status =1) with a 'check for triggers' message -- which cannot be true on UD DIR types.After a while of not figuring out the issue, we moved the folder to make Attb2 of the VOC shorter and viola - the issue resolved.Does anyone know the character count allowed in attribute 2 of a DIR VOC type?  And more weirdly, why is only AE was impacted?  We might have found the issue earlier if SELECT and LIST did not work either -- as it was, we were running down to see if there were some weird permissions issues - and was about 30 minutes in when we realized the path was much longer than usual do to where the folder had been nested.------------------------------

New to Jbase with a background in ADP's Reality. The problem I am having is that items within a COMMON area are not transferring to subroutine. The original system was as follows:program A - $include commons os.inv ( this program sets many variables set within the include )--calls program B - carries the same include of os.inv, it does reference a common variable, but otherwise does not set any----calls program C - carries the include, references a common variableI have basically created the following:program A--program B----program D  - new program, has the same include, but the common variables are not assigned??------program Cno idea why program D, despite being a subroutine and having the same include, has unassigned common variablesAlso, was curious if there was a way to view a program which included the code from the includes. In ADP's reality, they had a command called BLIST with the option of (MEL
