Unidata 8.2.1 on RHEL - what does this error mean? When it happens the system usually locks up (when udt is started from the .profile) and people can't login until Unidata is forced down with stopud -f and restarted.

If you have become used to stopping PHANTOM processes by killing them or editing a controlling record in a file, there is a much more elegant method available using the often under-recognised method of process locks.For example, if we choose lock 1 to signify that a job is already running and lock 2 to instruct a job to terminate, then the code below can be used to ensure that one - and only one - instance of the PHANTOM is permitted to run at any one time:* Sample code snippet:- PHANTOM job start ** Set the PHANTOM job name *PHANTOM_JOB='WEEKLY_INVOICES_EMEA' ** Designate the locks to be used for this handshake * RUNNING_LOCK=1 ; * the lock number used by the PHANTOM when it is running * * check if the PHANTOM is running by attempting to set the process lock * that it would own if it were already running. * LOCK RUNNING_LOCK THEN * * The controlled job is not running - OK to start it * first release the lock we just set to check if it was already running. * UNLOCK RUNNING_LOCK * * now

I am writing a paragraph to script compiling programs and am creating a log record using the DIVERT.OUT capability. So, the DIVERT.OUT command is set up to be:DIVERT.OUT ON log_file THIS.PARA APPENDI want to add the date to the name 'THIS.PARA' so that the command would be:DIVERT.OUT ON log.file THIS.PARA.<<P,THIS.DATE>> APPENDSo, I am trying to set 'THIS.DATE' to a date in the form of 'yymdd'.i have a program that will set paragraph variables but at this point, that program is not yet compiled and available. Suggestions for a simple way to do this just in the paragraph?Thanks!

We have converted a number of our files from 32-bit to 64-bit over that last couple of years. Typically, that has been done when we have a write issue and react to the specific problem. Does anyone have a dictionary or programmatic means of identifying the two type of file so that we can target conversion proactively?Once the files are identified, they can certainly be resized to 64-bit via a script.------------------------------Jeff TeterWoodforest National Bank------------------------------

Hello,I am receiving an error code 2 when trying to use the createRequestHeader function.:Source:    stat = setRequestHeader (restPUT, 'Authorization', 'Basic ':AUTHORIZATION.STRING)The REST API I am working with uses an API KEY that is created and converted to base64 and added to the "Authorization" header.  I am receiving the correct response when I test in the Postman software, but cannot get the Universe code to work.  I do see in the documentation that the it seems to be expecting the "normal" format for basic user authentication of user:password.  My guess is that is what's throwing the error as my API KEY is just a long string of characters.  Lastly, I am running Universe v11.3 running on AIX.  Please let me know if you need any other information.Thanks,LarryFrom the documentation:This function supports Base64 encoding for Basic authentication. If header_namecontains either “Authorization” or “Proxy-Authorization,”the header_value shouldth

Hello there, I need your expert advise please. I am using Universe 11.2.5. I have a report with 83 columns. For each transaction, some of the columns might have a data more than 1000 characters. I try to limit to a maximum of 1000 characters per column . I use the following command:      FOR X = 1 TO 83              IF LEN(COL<X>)  >  1000  THEN                      PRT.RECORD :=  "," : COL<X>[1,1000] This LEN command did not work. in the PRT.RECORD, the content from COL<X>[1,1000] was more than 1000 characters. I also tried the LEFT command.      PRT.RECORD := "," : LEFT(COL<X>,1000) This LEFT command did not work as well. in the PRT.RECORD, the content from LEFT(COL<X>,1000) was more than 1000 characters. Is there any other command to be used for setting a maximum character. Your advise would be most appreciated.

I am trying to clarify the upgrade process as some of the documentation I have read some documentation that says to do a fresh install with new drives and that the installer will wipe out existing partitions.  I have read other bits that indicate that you can upgrade with data in place.  I would like to upgrade with data in place (with a good backup of course) but before I destroy something I just want to be sure.  Any success stories appreciated.

Hi all, Sorry if this question has been previously asked answered, but I didn't see how to search for a topic. "Server" is Windows 10 running Universe 11. "Workstation" is Windows 10 running various apps and telnets into UniVerse. It has a printer on a USB port and is shared. Server connects properly to the printer and successfully prints a test page. I've checked all the share permissions, and among many others, "everyone" has print and manage privileges. Yet, when I do a SETPTR ,,,[etc] AT \\ENVYW10,HPLJ or AT \\10.1.253.60HPLJ and try to print, I get  Access is denied. Program "BLOCK.PRINT": pc = 2A0, StartDocPrinter failed with error 5 I've tried the usual rebooting, etc, On my old server I seem to recall an entry in the &DEVICE& file, but I am told this is not necessary. Also, the extensible admin utility won't allow the definition of a printer, only a tape drive. Any help will be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance.

Hello folks,A never answered behavior : how to mix monovalued and multivaluled data into a SREFORMAT result. Here is the a sample uniQuery, SORT + WITH + WHEN + BY.EXP on HS.SALES (demo account into uv)I filter data on STATE (monovalue field) and BUY_DATE (multivalued field) and I display data from monovalued and multivalued field.As expected, with SORT BY.EXP, the monovalued field are replicated on each occurence of multivalued line. SORT CUSTOMER WITH STATE = "MA" AND WHEN BUY_DATE >= "20/01/91" AND <= "29/01/91" BY.EXP BUY_DATE BY CUSTID CUSTID STATE CITY BUY_DATE PRODID ID.SUP Customer ID State City........ Date Purchased Product 8 MA Lowell 21/01/91 M3000 8 MA Lowell 21/01/91 S3000 2 MA Waltham 22/01/91 S3000 3 records listed. ​ so, now I'll send these result to a temporary file with SREFORMAT, which build a record by line of result ; the first column is the key on the temp file.I use the same phrase, replace the SORT verb by SREFORMAT.

Within SystemBuilder there is a process we can use to transfer group security restrictions from one group to another, though this process is little known it has been in the product since before version 6.  We get questions on this topic from customers looking for an easy way to transfer group restrictions within SB and SB/XA but find using the SB security API cumbersome or inefficient.The process in SB is called RESTRICT.COPY and it has not been documented, we have created a tech note on the process to demonstrate a quick and simple solution to transferring restrictions from one group to another.RCP Link: Group Restrictions TransferAttached is the content of this tech note, users may find this useful when managing large systems requiring a number of SB security groups.------------------------------Andrew ClayTechnical Support Engineer IIIRocket Software------------------------------

Hello!  I try to build a subrouting that will be used by an I-DESC.  Its goal is to encrypt another attribute, using SHA256.  The DICT item will be used in CSV exports, to transmit data to partners.  They want some columns to be encrypted (it would be too easy to encrypt the whole file I guess).  That is why I want to combine a subroutine with an I-DESC.Okay, so I already wrote my subroutine but I am not sure about the result.  Maybe someone here already did something similar, and/or maybe someone could help me to find the right way to reach my goal.My subroutine is simple: I use DIGEST (beacuse it was the only function that seems to know pure SHA256), and after, I encode the result as BASE64-OneLine, to make it human-readable. MY.HASH = "SHA256" MY.STRING = "HELLO" DIGEST.STATUS = DIGEST(MY.HASH, MY.STRING, 1, MY.DIGEST) FINAL.STRING = "" ENCODE.STATUS = ENCODE("BASE64A", 1, MY.DIGEST, 1, FINAL.STRING, 1)​ The result of the subroutine, fo

Using BIML to create SSIS packages with a UniVerse source connection. I can build a package manually and connect successfully using the rocket ado .net driver. However when attempting to automate the build of the packages through BIML, I receive a failure at the AdoNetSource connection string. The connection string requires a "ServerType" to be defined. When the AdoNetSource attempts to connect using the connection string, it fails with error message "keyword is not supported: 'servertype'". I get the same error when converting a working package to BIML through the 'convert package to BIML' option. When attempting to rebuild the package from the automated BIML script, the same error message occurs with the supported keyword of 'servertype'.  Has anyone come across this before and found a workaround? I need to continue to use the ADO Net provider as it is significantly faster than other options (ODBC and OLEDB). A similar message is posted on the BIML forum as I suspect Varigence does n
