Hi Everyone,I have encountered some unexpected behavior using the SPLICE function.  I'm hoping someone can tell me what I'm missing.I'm on UniVerse 11.1.9 (yeah, i know it's old) running on Linux. Consider the following code. ARRAY1 = 'ONE' ARRAY2 = CHAR(246):CHAR(247):CHAR(248):CHAR(249):CHAR(250) CRT CRT 'System Delimiters' CRT 'CHAR(251) = ':CHAR(251) CRT 'CHAR(252) = ':CHAR(252) CRT 'CHAR(253) = ':CHAR(253) CRT 'CHAR(254) = ':CHAR(254) CRT 'CHAR(255) = ':CHAR(255) CRT CRT 'ARRAY1 = ':ARRAY1 CRT 'ARRAY2 = ':ARRAY2 CRT CRT 'Expected = ONE:':ARRAY2 CRT 'Actual = ':SPLICE(ARRAY1, ':', ARRAY2)​ Here is a screenshot of the output.Notice all the colon (":") characters.  Notice also that char(247) seems to have been changed to char(255).What is going on here?

Hi,This is for Unidata 8.2.For years I thought the following was equivalent: ICONV(DTE,'D')ICONV(DTE,'D2/')ICONV(DTE,'D4/)My assumption was that Unidata did not care about the number or the slash and just did an internal date conversion. Today I learned that it is not. While entering 1/11/11  all return 15717 as does 1/11/2011 as does 11 JAN 2011 as does 11 JAN 11 but entering 11012011 does not.ICONV(DTE,'D')          returns 15717ICONV(DTE,'D2/')     returns 19004ICONV(DTE,'D4/)      returns 15717Is this a bug or does this jibe with your understanding?Thanks,Steve

Hey, Folks, just found a bug in MVSP version 1.8.5 for mvBase. There was an optimization introduced to speed up the process of sending data from mvBase to the Toolkit via MVSP and the Workstation. Prior to 1.8.5, data was sent a byte at a time. Now it's a block transfer. Only problem is the block size is limited to 100K by the environment and MVSP was not enhanced to send multiple 100K blocks. If a larger than 100K block is queued to return, MVSP will fall into the BASIC debugger.Engineering has been alerted and they're working on it. Meanwhile, if you're using the Toolkit against mvBase and the MVSP version is 1.8.5, you should use your own paging solution to make sure that your return packet does not exceed 100K.------------------------------Brian S.

I figured this out once, but never incorporated it into my system using Wintegrate.How do you change from 80x24 to 132x51 in a program?ThanksMark Laursen

All,I have a PAragraph that runs a program and feeds data into it using the DATA statement to provide input. One of my DATA statements has a pathname with an'@DATE' in it. I.E. C:TEMPFILE@DATE.TXT. I tried C:TEMPFILE@DATA@TIME.TXT, the pathname had the current date but the '@TIME' was just '@TIME'. The documentation was pretty thin on this topic. What at variables are allowed in a DATA statement?Jon​​

This application has been running for over 20 years.  It is on Metro Nashville's cloud network where, as a contractor, I have no visibility of pretty much anything except the virtual server.  These interruptions began occurring about 3 months ago as pandemic inactivity concluded.  These connection closures are sometimes frequent and sometimes infrequent.  Users find themselves disconnected in the middle of an operational function.  They are using Dynamic Connect for telnet.  Has anyone experienced this and found the problem.  Are there any server or workstation firewall or antivirus settings that could have been recently changed by Metro's IT department that could cause this?  Also can anyone recommend an ssh server for Windows that could be substituted for telnet?

Hello all,I am looking for the documentation on 'filepeek'.I want to do:EXECUTE "SH -c "filepeek /path/to/file/name"But the command 'filepeek' requires a 'Q' to quit from the prompt 'Addr:'.I am wondering if there is a flag that I can use so that is terminates itself without the necessity of going into 'Addr:'I am just trying to get the info on the file to see if it is 32 or 64 bit.------------------------------Joe TorreSr DBA AdminOptumWesterville OH United States------------------------------

Has anyone had Universe just hang at the uv command?   We are on an old version 11.1.3 under Solaris 10.  Thought it might be suspend files not getting set back but no.  No errors, could not find anything in the $uvhome logs.  A server reboot bought the system back without any file damage.   Trying to think of other places to look for root cause without any errors to review.  No known changes to system or environment.

We have a very old (clunky) program that displays the last edit date for source and the last compile date for object code. I'm wondering if any of you learned folks have a clean, effective way of doing this that might be helpful?

Hi Guys. I've got an audit job that should be run periodically, but it failed yesterday and the only explanation i can think of its hit the maximum number of rows that are allowed in a holdfile spent a while searching for the magic number but can't find anything out in the world of Google Its not my program so can't amend the select, it selects the whole file and one of its functions is to record what was there, before it tidies up and deletes the records, i don't really need the holdfile, but the author thinks it useful i manually assign a holdfile at the start of the job and its previously worked fine, the last time it ran it  had 1.3M rows went into the holdfile perfect well yesterday the job stopped with  1541766 ROWS I've asked the provider to add a date select into the job, but in the mean time if "collective" can let me know if i've hit  the limit for a holdfile, that would eliminate one possible cause of the failure Many thanks Andy

hi rocket-mvbasic team,Thank you for your good job.a few trouble I'll share . 1/ if we have multiple include, the outline is badly organized , reflect nodes nested where it's not. 2/ we are used to define multiple and nested include, outline become unusable, totally 'mixed', show tree nodes which are not.... 3/ please in the OUTLINE view, can you put the symbols into a tree-node named like the include record id ?  likethis? - symbol a - symbol b - file/id |- symbol c |- symbol d |- symbol e - file/id |- symbol c |- symbol d |- symbol e |- file/id |- symbol f |- symbol g |- symbol h ...   ------------------------------Manu Fernandes------------------------------

Hy... a situation, i need to know what week of the month a date is, for example if it is the 1st week of the month, if the second week of the month, if it is the third week, fourth or fifth week of the month for a specific date, in addition of this I need to know for the same date which is the week of the year.. for example if it is the 20th week of the 21st month so on, looking at the OCONV documentation for the mask date, I found only the options for the day of the week and for quarter of the year. Does anyone have any simpler suggestions to find out this information? for now the only solution I found was to loop for the entire year and calculate this, but this is impractical, as I will have to store a "calendar" in the databasei'm using d3 linux 10.2

Does anyone know an easy way to tell if a large file copy is complete?  we have many programs creating/copying files to Type 19 directories and we also have a main program scanning these directories to ftp files to Windows servers to make them available for users.  We need to make sure the main scan program does not pick up a file until the copy is complete.We are on Linux, Universe 11.1.3.

hi rocket-mvbasic team,Thanks for the CodeLens fuction. may I ask for a 'language switch' to turn it on/off ?  settings.json "rocket-mvbasic.referencesCodeLens.showOnAllFunctions": false/true on large source code review, it can be annoying, but let the editor.action.peekDefinition, editor.action.referenceSearch.trigger, codelens.showLensesInCurrentLine commands actives !I know I can turn "editor.codeLens": false/true but it apply to all languages.the best will be a command 'rocket-mvbasic.showCodeLensonCurrentFile'  setinto a 'right click option' or shortcutkey  to turn it on/off on the current source code only !thanks------------------------------Manu Fernandes------------------------------

We're pleased to announce the availability of Rocket® MV BASIC for Visual Studio Code (VS Code) v1.1.2 Rocket MV BASIC for VS Code offers features to help your developers modernize, simplify, and work more productively. We are developing and releasing MV BASIC for VS Code (MVVS) at regular intervals to provide more frequent enhancements and fixes. Version 1.1.2 includes editing feature enhancements: Code Lens (New) allows you to review your code and find references to variables, functions, or subroutines without leaving the editor. Signature Help has been enhanced to automatically update the parameter lists of user-defined functions when editing the BASIC files that contain those functions. Other Enhancements: Three new statements have been added to Code Folding to further improve code readability for large blocks of code: WHILE and UNTIL clauses in loops as well as the LOCK statement.  The large code block surrounded by these statements can be folded into one line so that users c
