Question.

We wrote a quick program (qks) that retrieves a lot = of data that we want to
use for constructing a pdf-file.
We have +- 500 fields.

By displaying the corresponding html-template, only = the first hundred fields
are filled in.

Is there a limit in the number of fields, or must we = change it with a
qkgo-file (and how ?) ?
or
Is there a limit in some memory-buffer (like = PH:RECORD_ID) ?

Thanks,
Marc

It comes with the EVE interface, which provides a friendlier command interface, and two different key mappings: the default EVE mapping, and the good old EDT compatible mapping ("set key edt" which I use). It's also customisable by system managers on a system-wide basis, and by users on a personal basis. Have a google around: I expect someone's done an emacs compatible mapping, or a migration document, or both. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Any views expressed in this message are those of the sender and not necessarily those of CCA Group.

Hence, any issue that manifests itself with any product under WTS, not just Cognos ones, should be easily reproducible under Windows 2000 or Windows XP. In that case it should be easy to provide Customer Support with a test case that reproduces the problem in a supported environment (which is probably how you'd be developing the application in any case). The same goes for other WTS-like products (Citrix, etc.). Since they claim 100% compatibility with Windows any problems seen with a PH app should be reproducible under Windows 2000/XP. If they are not, then the problem probably lies with the terminal server product being used. This situation is similar to that seen with ODBC drivers. Since Cognos cannot test and support every ODBC driver out there, if an issue can be reproduced with one of the tested/supported drivers then it will likely be acknowledged as an issue with the Cognos product. If it can't be reproduced with one of the tested and supported ODBC drivers then it is likely to be considered a problem with the specific ODBC driver that is being used.

We have chosen to use Axiant to enhance to users experience by way of user interface. We are using SqlServer2000 and will be deploying in Thin Client "mode", thus executing all components {Quick, Qtp, Quiz} on the server. We have a range of workstations {by way of quality} and prefer the reliability and performance offered by the server. {A dual Pentium 4, 2.2 with 2 gigabytes of memory, running a Level 5 Raid Disc system for some 20-30 users} We have found performance to be fantastic, albeit, we are still in Beta testing with respect to the applications. Many of the migration issues are common {databases, datatypes, indexes {vs Automatic Masters under Image}, command files, environment variables for user and application etc} regardless of the eventual user interface. I have only brief experience with the DOS windows under Nt. We had decided the enhanced interface offered by Axiant to be "worth" the effort. The data migration effort was only modest using the Axiant migration tools combined with some reasonable SqlServer skills and application knowledge. Axiant does provide a comprehensive multi-user IDE for developers also. We are of course able to generate character based forms for use with 8.41 Powerhouse from within Axiant in addition to the Windows form overlay we currently use. Printers and Printing Quiz can still only address {naturally} character based printing, that is, any enhancements you may now have {escape character based font switching, portrait to landscape etc} remain the same, but, you need to avoid the Windows Print subsystem, as it removes any "non-ascii" characters from the data-stream, and always reverts to the target printers base font and orientation. We route all printed output to disc, then "Print" it to printers which are appropriate for the reports. We have many 132 * 64 or 220 * 64 line reports. Routing to disc is great as each user then has a "spooler" folder of prior reports, viewable in notepad etc. Command Files and "Parms" An interesting area, particularly in Thin Client mode, where we are have developed a form {VB Exe} which dynamically populates a set of "parm prompt" fields, populates multi-select list boxes using Sql to emulate Choose Statements or provide "unbound" text boxes for other user parm/prompt values etc. This has involved "storing" the contents of all Hp Stream or Command files within Sql, but has the advantage of making the construction and maintenance of command files a controlled user interface driven task. Where printed output is required we provide a Windows style printer selection and copy quantity selection. This "stuff" is written to the server based command file {by application by user by date & time} which is then submitted for execution by the calling screen. Quite a lot of work, but required for thin client. And, the performance is great. Our basis of staying with Powerhouse and moving to Nt was similar to yours, where much of the application is highly customised and very reliable {with respect to the Powerhouse "engine"}. Our objective has beed to retain those aspects and improve performance where possible. The clients "skill base" in Powerhouse is still protected, and the new environment also provides leverage for extended use of the information. We plan greater use of BI tools through SqlServer etc over time. I have noted the quiz performance comments from Blue. We haven't experienced this yet. But as stated enhancing the quiz using embedded sql is an option. A windows report writer becomes an option {Impromptu etc}. We have some 600 reports, so weren't all that keen on redevelopment!! {straight away} Sincerely, Glenn Baxter Baxter IT Solutions ============================== 15 Flora Grove Ivanhoe Victoria Australia 3079 ============================== telephone: 61-3-9499-8687 mobile: 0412-826-503 fax: 61-3-9499-8344 email: glenn@baxterit.com.au This e-mail message (and attachments) may contain information that is confidential to Baxter IT Solutions.

Same answer for ASPs. At least not with our current architecture. Now my understanding of PHP and ASP is limited to book learning. I have never used them. But I understand that with PHP you embed PHP commands in the HTML and name it with a .PHP extension so that the Web server knows to run the PHP engine. The way PH Web works is that you have a page that passes requests to the Web Server which launches the PHCGI, which in turn passes the request to the PH Web Dispatcher and in turn to the PH Web Server (think QUICK sitting waiting for a screen to run - a rough approximation). The PH Web Server processes the request and formats the results page based on an HTML template. The results are sent back to the waiting PHCGI and then to the Web Server and browser as a text stream. Since the output of the PH Web Server is a text stream, there is no way for the Web server to know that PHP (or ASP) should be run. Of course different pages within an application can be PHP, ASP, of PH Web, but you can't have all in one. My question is - what do you want to do with PHP that you can't do with PH Web?

Since the output of the PH Web Server is a text = stream, there is no way for the Web server to know that PHP (or ASP) = should be run.

Of course different pages within an application can = be PHP, ASP, of PH Web, but you can't have all in one.

My question is - what do you want to do with PHP that = you can't do with PH Web?

I find it interesting to hear outsider viewpoints about American business. If it's so bad then why not just stay home and leave Americans to these jobs? I think it is time to justify this in the public opinion. I hope you don't mind, but I'm forwarding this on to the listing service for the news agencies and congress. I think this is most stimulating to test what Americans feel now about their jobs being manned by non-US citizens. Perhaps we'll see this issue as a major point in the upcoming elections. Thank you for sharing your opinion. We encourage them in the US. It's everyone's right to do so. --- "Olmos, Fernando (Sericon at Alcoa)" wrote: > I would not go that far George.

I asked the following: Q. Are the positions open only to candidates residing in the areas you indicate? (Pune, Bangalore, Chennai)? A. Positions are open to outside locations if they can relocate A. Client deals indirectly with Defence - so Indians preferred! Q. When you say that "Salaries are very competitive" what are you comparing with, only those places above or globally? A. Foremost reason cited by the client could also be .. the remuneration.. The average package offered are $800 (USD) - Rs. 40000 per month which anyway would automatically mean that only Indian's can work for that salary in India. I would like to point out that in both the USA and Australia ONLY citizens of those countries are allowed to work on defence related gigs. There are rare exceptions but that is the rule. That includes directly working for the DOD, government offices doing work related to the DOD (or even "Homeland Security"), and private firms directly or indirectly working on DOD projects. I received a postcard from Raytheon the other day that stated specifically that I had to be a USA citizen to work for them. Jon Hawks said "There are many American citizens out of work this day." Name ONE country where this is not the case? The unemployment rate in the USA is 6.1%. This might seem a lot to you but how about 16% in Germany or 40%+ in Botswana, both affluent nations. People in the USA directly and indirectly exploit people in other nations to make their lives better but in many cases make the economic situation in those other nations worse. The USA can no more survive without its economic ties to the rest of the world or without the continual inflow of fresh immigrants than a shark in a tide pool. How many Americans work in other countries? I came to the USA for adventure at a time when my skills were in high demand. I'm still here because I can't afford to leave, I have made so many good friends - mainly American citizens - who don't want me to leave, and because my skills are STILL in high demand. My gross income is higher than average so I don't get my work by undercutting an US citizen, I contribute in every way legally possible to this great nation and my local community, and I thank all those kind and generous American friends who have made my life here fulfilling.

I agree that all should be allowed to present their opinion. However such opinions must not obscure the facts. "You left out a detail though, the countries that are also suffering unemployment, are not necessarily in the computer industry ..." My understanding of the situation in Germany is that computer professionals ARE in the ranks of the unemployed. Botswana is wealthy through primary resources such as diamonds so I don't know about the IT work situation there - I'll ask my brother-in-law in Gaborone. >From what I've read even Indian IT professionals are suffering with many being laid off and smaller companies going bust due to the downturn in demand from overseas. I would like to hear from computer professionals in those countries that are suffering high unemployment if their profession is affected. "where the majority of H1's are issued." That is not correct. The primary recipients of H1 visas are engineers (including programmers), teachers and nurses. I believe engineers outnumber teachers and nurses but no significantly. Of the engineering classification at least 50% are computer professionals. However the latest stats from the INS show that the previous and the current year's H1 quota s are unfilled, particularly in the engineering class. The facts on H1 issues are somewhat vague but generally available from sources such as the INS itself. What numbers do you have and where do those numbers come from? "Also, you left out South Africa ... did have a place to go, the USA." Actually South African professionals went to many destinations. There is a sizable Afrikaans contingent in Sydney and I knew many ex-South Africans in Perth. The U.K. has also been a significant receiver of South African talent. In 9 years of working in various parts of the USA I have only met 2 South African computer professionals. How many do you know?

I worked in Chicago where there were 9 PowerHouse professionals from Canada. A lot of Canadians received their training in PowerHouse 4GL in CIPS certified colleges. It used to be a part of the 4GL curriculum in many business information technology courses here in Canada. I guess because it's a 'made in Canada' language. I never met an American who was trained in PowerHouse back in college. I think maybe that company had no choice but to hire Canadians to do PowerHouse at that time.

Have you ever BEEN to India? The violence that one sees on TV is magnified way out of proportion to reality. I'd love to live in India for a bit. My sister-in-law is there now and I have many friends, occidental and oriental, who've both visited and lived there. The cultural experience is way beyond what one can find in Oz of USA. I've lived in 5 countries on 4 continents so far and each has its wonders and dangers. "Racial tensions"? - try Redfern or Carnarvon (NW Oz) "Violence"? - how about the good old Aussie bikie shoot-out with bystanders being blown away by shotguns "Witchcraft"? - I'm about 1/2 way through Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. "Political Rubbish"? remember Florida 2000? How about Oz in 1975, Watergate, Whitewater, the partisan bickering in any democratic nation? Give me adventure, good friends, enough to eat and shelter and I'm happy anywhere. :) Blue -----Original Message----- From: Olmos, Fernando (Sericon at Alcoa) [mailto:Fernando.Olmos@alcoa.com.au] Sent: Wednesday, July 09, 2003 7:02 PM To: 'stewm@canada.com'; powerh-l@lists.swau.edu Subject: RE: HP3000 Powerhouse Openings in India > When the United States and Canada, for that matter, let > India citizens work over here fine but it should go > both ways, that's fair.

I've read in the text file in MS Word and used the Find-Replace function. There is a special functions button that allows you to take ^p and change it to manual return ^m. So maybe you need to do the opposite? We've tried UltraEdit (a very good product) but it still showed the CR's when they really weren't there. Not sure if this was helpful or not. Best wishes.

Since your mail reader does not understand this format, some or all of this message may not be legible. ------_=_NextPart_000_01C34B32.724E2DC0 Content-Type: text/plain Hi, The CR are a function of the file systems requirement to create records, normally associated with an ascii transfer. I have attached below the results of a binary transfer {reflection} of a portable subfile. You will see that each "record" is not delimited by a CR as per normal ascii, but by size {of the component fields}. In this case ID_Store @ 4 and Store_Name @ 30. Quiz will generate fixed length records by default to page width when reporting or of element sizes to a subfile. The binary transfer simplly transfers what it sees as data not creating records at the remote end. The Binary Ftp transfer suggestion would also work I guess. The portable aspect of the subfile removes the requirement to "set page width" as you would need to when reporting. The key is really the binary transfer! Good luck.

I have changed nothing about my email for years. Double responses to my own messages are common (ie someone sends to me & to the list) - these are easily identified from the headers. Rarely, I too see other messages duplicated, which I tend to put down to double sending, which may or may not be true, but it's not frequent enough to be a problem to me.

The DECnet links on the multiprocessor Alpha system hang in states like CI receiving, DI receiving, CI sending, DI sending. Other DECnetlinks have 00000000 owner PIDs, or show remote link numbers that nolonger exist on this system." We have observed exactly this scenario on a customer site when running permanent license keys. Applying the ECO has allowed them to run with permanent keys and doing SHOW KNOWN LINKS commands no longer shows evidence of the broken links. Before the ECO was applied, doing a SHOW KNOWN LINKS command in NCP showed links with 0 as the remote link, or a PID of 000000. The license daemon was in LEF state and would not respond to license requests (connection timeout). For OpenVMS 6.1 and 6.2 versions you need to install ECO DECNET4AECO362 on your machine in order to successfully run DECnet and license PowerHouse with permanent keys. The following URL will point to the ECO on HP's website, or you can query the HP support database using the ECO number. If the URL no longer functions, contact HP for assistance, or search their website. http://ftp.support.compaq.com/patches/public/Readmes/vms/decnet4aeco362.READ ME For OpenVMS 7.0, you will need to contact HP support to obtain the ECO kit (not on the Web site) DECNET4AECO170.A or upgrade to 7.1. The problem is resolved in 7.1 of OpenVMS. If you have upgraded to 7.1 and are using temporary license keys, you should retry running PowerHouse with your permanent keys. There is a strong likelihood that in this configuration the daemon will now function correctly. Many thanks to the customer who patiently worked with us to identify the problem and to the HP people who remembered the original issue and headed us in the right direction, and to all of you who have had to live with temporary key renewals until we managed to get the right combination of people and circumstances together to resolve it. We now have the ability to debug and therefore better resolve OpenVMS Licensing issues, so I hope that we will be able to address such concerns in a more timely fashion in the future.

Allison, am I missing something. Under Solaris 8 and = PH 8.23D7 the

set report limit 10
set report device disc

[BE>] G'day Marvin 

I'm new on the email list and was wondering if someone could answer a few question for me.

1.  Would a person that is very proficient with Cognos Powerhouse 4GL have  any issues whether it was running on MPE/IX e3000 or Open VMS operating systems either on a DEC or Compaq Alpha server DS20E? 
[BE>] In most cases YES.  There are a few syntax items that will work on OpenVMS but not on other O/S's.  E.g. mailbox files 

2.  Is the Cognos program designed differently based on different O/S? 
[BE>] AFAIK yes.  Cognos tried to optimise the use of the good features of each O/S.  However since version 8.2n Cognos has moved towards a common source for PowerHouse on all O/S's it's available on.
 
3.  If the program has already been written in Cognos Powerhouse on a DEC with OpenVMS O/S, and someone new came in to modify and customize it, would it be very difficult for that person to determine what the program was doing and how?
[BE>] If they were proficient in PowerHouse, NO.  *But*, how much DCL is involved?  What about use of mailboxes?  The PHD tools on OpenVMS is unique and would be unfamiliar to PHers with non-VMS experience.  On non-VMS platforms the dictionary is compiled from PDL source to a PDC file.  On OpenVMS the dictionary is a small database maintained through a set of Quick screens.

It's very simple to use: Eg, @sys$manager:saf "quick auto='name' nolist" *.qks Obviously it's easily adapted to Quiz, Quick, QTP, and assorted other applications (anything which doesn't like wildcards). It's also capable of processing a list of files: dir/out=tmp.tmp *.log/nohead/notrail/before="-30-0" @sys$manager:saf "zip -j archive 'file'" "@tmp.tmp" (a poor example I know, but you get the idea). Note the single quote inside the quoted string: "''file'" would get substituted immediately, whereas "'file'" doesn't, but does when the command is reprocessed by saf. I find it an invaluable tool, and would recommend parking it somewhere on your systems available for everyone.
