When working in Unidata, I was able to toggle on a display of each executed line as they were executed. What is the equivalent command in Universe please?In Unidata at the debugger command, I would type 'V' to view source before executing the line. In Universe, I can type I or L to show the source line (or Z to display the next 10), but this isn't a toggle. It only does the one line you are on it seems. In Unidata, once the V was toggled 'on', I could do a command to execute the next 50 instructions and would see the source of each line for those 50.  So my question is, how can I see the source for each line executed without typing in the 'L' at every line? Thanks!!------------------------------Kathleen HambrickProgrammer at Colwell------------------------------

Hi allI'm trying to work with a session pool in uopy and I'd like to be able to switch between different sessions as it can be done using the command ic_setsession in the uvic32.dll API.I create them in this fashion: sesiones = [] for i in range(10): sesiones.append( uopy.connect(host='...', user='...', password='...', account='...', encoding='cp850', service=uopy.UV_SERVICE, port=31438)) Is there a way to do this?How can I make sesiones[i] the active session at will?------------------------------Hector CortigueraRocket Forum Shared Account------------------------------

Hi,I've been using a small BASIC program I wrote as my shell environment. Originally for UniVerse, I ported it to D3 and it seems to be working relatively well. The big gains have been getting a permanent history file with arrow keys  to navigate the history. The tab completion is also helpful and having a prompt with which account I'm currently in is useful.You can pull the NSH file and update the DEFINE statements for D3 and your specific platform and them compile it. D3 10.2 and earlier does require some more work as it doesn't support the DEFINE statement so you'll need to use a cleaner program to strip out the conditional code I have to support multiple platforms. GitHub - Krowemoh/NovaShell: A Fancier ShellLet me know if you need any help setting it up! This should work with vt100 and wy50.------------------------------Nivethan ThiyagarajahProgrammerAsynchron Systems IncToronto ON CA------------------------------

I have a customer that wants to leave Auto-Extend Field Length (from /USER.FLAGS) set to "N" so that their users can't type beyond the size of the input.  However, now they want to dip a credit card and the encrypted value returned from the chip reader is a few hundred bytes long, far too long for a single input.  Is there a way to enable the extended field length on just one prompt?In character mode, doing a DATA "@12" in the process before on the prompt does the trick nicely.  However, that doesn't work on GUI.  Hitting Ctrl-End before the card is dipped works to extend the field length but the customer (understandably) doesn't want their users to have to press Ctrl-End before every dip.  Is there anything that can be set to enable the extended field length automatically but only on a single prompt?------------------------------Kevin KingPresidentPrecision Solutions, Inc.Longmont CO US------------------------------

We have a behavior that we have been trying to track down for quite some time and it keeps flaring up.We are on AIX 7.1, Unidata 8.2.2, but also does it on 7.3.3We have nfa connections that will create thousands of these processes "nfauser 29753982 13697148 14 19:28:43 - 0:01 udtsvr -u -o/usr/ud/tmp" A single nfauser connection or a couple of the same will start up remotely, reaching over to another server via a nfa FX pointer. Normally its fine and works like it should, we have thousands of these daily at least and they are fine.  A few applications will cause it sporadically. Below is an example we were able to create that does it, though I had to run 3 or more at once to get it to do it:From ECL command line = "SELECT ORDY CONVO.KEYS.BAD" will trip the condition if ran 3x during testing from our system called "DP" to our "DOCK" system.:ED DICT ORDY CONVO.KEYS.BADTop of "CONVO.KEYS.BAD" in "DICT ORDY", 6 lines, 54 characters.001: V002: SUBR('GET.CONVO.KEYS.BAD',@ID)003:004: Convo.key

By storing your data in internal format in your MV database, you can easily convert the data to a desired display format.   One of the most common uses for conversion codes is dealing with dates.  In MV the internal representation of the date is an integer.   For example the internal format for "04 Dec 2014" is 17140.  Those familiar with U2 BASIC know they can get the internal format to the display date format by using the OCONV function.   I.e   PRINT OCONV(17140, "D")   The 'D' is the Date conversion code and it is used with both the ICONV function as well as the OCONV function.   With the introduction of the u2py modulo, these functions have been exposed as methods of the u2py.DynArray object. python> test = u2py.DynArray("04 Dec 2014")python> itest =  test.iconv("D")python> itest<u2py.DynArray value=b'17140'> Since the itest variable now has a date in internal format, you can use a different conversion code to get other display formats.  python> itest.oconv("D4

Hi,What is the correct way to reset page headers and numbers when using the BASIC "HEADING" statement after issuing a PRINTER CLOSE statement?We have a program that generates multiple reports based on the same SELECT list.???? Each report must start at page number 1.The only time it works is by issuing the following statements: * PRINTER ON * HEADING ...... * PAGE 1This, however, generates a blank first page on each report.How can we correct this?-- Best regards and keep safe,Vincent ???Kim???

Anybody out there familiar with an application called "Prelude"? I've got an end user out there who's migrating to Prophet ( Profit? ) 21 who is having trouble extracting the data they need. The developer modified and locked down Prelude, passworded everything, removed any source, then died taking all knowledge with him. It would be nice to know stuff like "blah blah is the invoice file, blah blah is the customer file..." etc.------------------------------Brian S.

I remember being able to open an index file on Universe within basic and reading the records in an xref type fashion. Where I am working now isn't using indexes but rather executing multiple external selects from within a program, not ideal.Does anyone have a simple ditty showing how to open this file within the basic program? Anything special about the VOC entry for the index file?Thanks,Kathleen------------------------------Kathleen HambrickProgrammer at Colwell------------------------------

Hi - as ive mentioned in previous threads, I just switched from unidata to universe.  A coworker mentioned a trigger but I do not see a version of my unidata commands:CREATE-TRIGGER, LIST-TRIGGER, DELETE-TRIGGERI do see the LIST.SICA command, which lists universe triggers on SQL files....do we not have triggers on regular PICK files in universe?------------------------------Kathleen HambrickProgrammer at Colwell------------------------------

If you installed FlashConnect on Linux in the non-default location and the fcservice won't start, try the following command to reference the actual location of the flashconnect.conf file:   ./FCService -C/path/to/file/flashconnect.conf   Where "/path/to/file/" is the actual fully-pathed reference to the directory containing the flashconnect.conf file.

I am wondering if anyone has experience with using the logs captured by U2 Audit to feed in to Azure Application Insights (or similar). It seems to me these logs would be a great source of data for visualization and analysis. If you have done this, what issues and roadblocks did you find? What tools did you use for visualization and for analysis? Thanks.------------------------------John GreenHead of TechnologyUltradata Australia Pty LtdMalvern East VIC AU------------------------------

The internal UniData lock mechanism has advantages over those used in UniVerse, so for UniVerse to benefit from those it was decided as part of UniVerse 12 that the UniVerse would use the same mechanism.This is a presentation I delivered internally to the support team here at Rocket when the UniData lock mechanism was moved into UniVerse 12. So the information is correct for UniData and for UniVerse 12 and onwards (i.e below UniVerse 12 still uses UniVere's old lock mechanism).------------------------------Jonathan Smith UniData ATSRocket Support------------------------------

Hi all,In the Rocket Documentation, there is information regarding version 4.5 of the U2 DB Tools, but on the Rocket Software site, only version 4.4.1 is listed for download.Does anyone know where I can download version 4.5 of the U2 DB Tools?Best regards.------------------------------Miguel Esteban Rodriguez GonzalezRocket Forum Shared Account------------------------------

hello,While using the release 11.x of UV if I want to start a process at the start of Universe on Windows, I'm used to define a ScheduledTask with Trigger OnEvent with a subscription like this <QueryList> <Query Id="0" Path="UniVerse"> <Select Path="UniVerse"> *[EventData[Data="UniVerse (log daemon) started"]] </Select> </Query> </QueryList>​ but, on release 12, I do not get the "UniVerse (log daemon) started" anymore , the only event I can imagine usable is <EventData> <Data> C:\\U2\\UV\\bin\\uvcleanupd.exe Uvcleanupd Daemon started by pid (11828) </Data> </EventData> ok, I must analyse the Data value in my process because EventLog Triggers use limited xpath query and do not support *[EventData[contains(Data,"Uvcleanupd Daemon started")]]Is anyone have another idea on uv/win r12 ? many thanks------------------------------Manu Fernandes------------------------------

Once the UniRPC daemon spawns either a uvcs or uvserver service and the service has established a UniVerse session, is it possible from within the session to determine if the connection is secured via SSL/TLS?The uvcs sessions run the *UOLOGIN subroutine and uvserver sessions run the *ODBCLOGIN subroutine, so there is a possibility to perform BASIC code to query the security status of the current session. I just have not found a way to determine the security status of the session.------------------------------Gregor ScottSoftware ArchitectPentana Solutions Pty LtdMount Waverley VIC Australia------------------------------

A fancier shell for Universe on Linux that has support for persistent history and history searching. It also has easy access to the help files through a MAN command.https://github.com/Krowemoh/NovaShellI've been use it daily for about 6 months now so hopefully its at a point where it's usable by more than just me. I use vt100 and viewpoint as my terminal type usually so that is the most tested but a few other terminal modes should work as well.Let me know if anyone has any ideas or issues, the big thing I'd like to add is color but the ANSI escape codes don't seem to work and I don't want to use the terminal codes.------------------------------Nivethan ThiyagarajahProgrammerAsynchron Systems IncToronto ON CA------------------------------

Please advise With the ongoing power failures, we are experiencing that users are beingkicked off from their pc's or terminals , But the user session is still openon the server. In other words, when doing a LISTU it still shows theseusers as being logged on. Is there a config/timeout-setting that can logoffthese dead sessions automatically after e.g. 1 minute?

We are writing a deployment process for Azure and need to be able to set a Bash error if the deployment process generates an error. The script is executed from the shell level with "uv DEPLOYSCRIPT' and it will exit back to the shell when done. So far, after each test, I'm seeing a Bash exit code 0... How do I force an exit error, better yet with a message such as 'exit 1 FAILED TO COMPILE ABCD EFGH'...------------------------------Jeff TeterWoodforest National BankThe Woodlands, TX------------------------------

Im trying to create a program that will call the AE command for me when typing 'ED' at TCL, but will leave anyone else in the 'ed' editor. I got that to work pretty easily but not sure how to make it work for a second level - such as after a select. Suggestions anyone? I don't want to give up my AE! But remembering to not type 'ED' isnt likely after 37 years! Last place we just all used AE so we replaced ED with AE, can't do that here :(Thanks------------------------------Kathleen HambrickProgrammer at Colwell------------------------------

If you have ever used D3, you may have interacted with the PEQS file which contains the hold entries for print jobs. Out of the box, jBASE stores its hold entries in a header/detail style: The header can be found in jspool_log keyed by DEVJOBS*job The detail is under the jobs directory and then under the relevant formqueue_n directory. Both jspool_log and jobs are located under the directory defined by the environment variable JBCSPOOLERDIR.Use jdiag if you're not sure where JBCSPOOLERDIR points.At the end of this post is the source code for a jEDI driver that will put the above header/detail and make it appear like the PEQS file.To use this (once it's compiled/cataloged): create-file peqs type=object class=peqsjedi​ You should get the following output: [ 417 ] File peqs]D created , type = OBJECT [ 417 ] File peqs created , type = OBJECT We can now list it: $ LIST peqs PAGE 1 11:00:16

jEDI that allows you to access the XML file as if it was a standard jBASE hashed file During a training class for jBASE, I was aided by Charles Barouch, Jenna Hernandez and Tyler McDonough in designing a jEDI to access XML files.I want to thank them for their contributions and the brainstorming session.  This blossomed into the jEDI attached to this post and may be handy for anyone needing to access XML files from jBASE. When run against a 500,000 record XML file with a size of 94Mb, it can access all the items in the file in just under 2 minutes. Why have to read and decode an XML file that looks like this <CATALOG><PLANT><XMLROW>1</XMLROW><COMMON>Buttercup</COMMON><BOTANICAL>Erythronium americanum</BOTANICAL><ZONE>21</ZONE><LIGHT>Mostly Shady</LIGHT><PRICE>$12.59</PRICE><AVAILABILITY>12,599</AVAILABILITY></PLANT><PLANT><XMLROW>2</XMLROW><COMMON>Greek Valerian&
