Setup & Installation / DB2 v. 6.1 / Java
« on: February 22, 2024, 04:55:23 pm »
It seems like DB2 requires an older Java version than the OpenJDK that comes with ArcaOS.
The DB2 java apps works with jre.exe and not java.exe.
Tried to install Java 1.4 but got some error.

Is there a work around to make DB2 work with OpenJDK, or any other solution?

Setup & Installation / AOO4.11.1/Firefox/Seamonkey trouble
« on: June 07, 2023, 02:30:16 pm »
After installing AOO 4.11.1 I cannot start Firefox or Seamoneky.

Following from popup.log:

06-07-2023  14:11:58  SYS2070  PID 0031  TID 0001  Slot 007c
P:\SEAMONKEY\SEAMONKEY.EXE
ICUUC->STDCPP6.__ZNSt18condition_variableC1Ev
127

06-07-2023  14:12:01  SYS2070  PID 0032  TID 0001  Slot 007c
G:\PROGRAMS\FIREFOX\FIREFOX.EXE
ICUUC->STDCPP6.__ZNSt18condition_variableC1Ev
127

AOO writer/calc starts ok but when opening an existing spreadsheet I get the warning
"Not all attributes could be read"
After clicking ok on the warning the spreadsheet is displayed as normal.

Any ideas?

Programming / SQL running total
« on: May 19, 2023, 05:54:52 pm »
Hi,

This statement works with SQLite;

select amount, (select sum(t2.amount) from example t2 where t2.id <= t1.id) as accumulated from example t1 order by id

Does anyone know how to make it work with dBase (IV/V)?

(I've found many examples for other databases but none of them works with dBase.)

Programming / Rexx cumulative values
« on: May 14, 2023, 05:26:48 pm »
In a VX-Rexx program I have this container, QRY_2:

|TEKSTFELT | TALLFLT1 | TALLFLT2 |
|aaa       |     10.00|          |
|aaa       |     10.00|          |
|aaa       |     10.00|          |
|bbb       |    100.00|          |
|bbb       |    100.00|          |
|bbb       |    100.00|          |
|ccc       |   1000.00|          |
|ccc       |   1000.00|          |
|ccc       |   1000.00|          |

Running this code (from a push button):

ok = VRMethod( "QRY_2", "MoveFirst" )
do while( ok = 1 )
    call VRMethod "QRY_2", "RowData", "data."
    str = ""
    do i = 1 to data.0
        str = str data.i
    end
    say str
    ok = VRMethod( "QRY_2", "MoveNext" )
end

Results in:

aaa 10.00 DATA.3
aaa 10.00 DATA.3
aaa 10.00 DATA.3
bbb 100.00 DATA.3
bbb 100.00 DATA.3
bbb 100.00 DATA.3
ccc 1000.00 DATA.3
ccc 1000.00 DATA.3
ccc 1000.00 DATA.3

The problem is that I need the third column in the container, TALLFLT2 (displayed as DATA.3 above), to get updated with cumulative values from column TALLFLT1, also it must «reset» when the value in TEKSTFELT changes, like this:

|TEKSTFELT | TALLFLT1 | TALLFLT2|
|aaa       |     10.00|    10.00|
|aaa       |     10.00|    20.00|
|aaa       |     10.00|    30.00|
|bbb       |    100.00|   100.00|
|bbb       |    100.00|   200.00|
|bbb       |    100.00|   300.00|
|ccc       |   1000.00|  1000.00|
|ccc       |   1000.00|  2000.00|
|ccc       |   1000.00|  3000.00|


Ideas are welcome.

Utilities / Intersolv/ODBC
« on: April 17, 2023, 09:36:17 pm »
Some time ago I bought the Intersolv DataDirect ODBC Pack and I got it in unopened condition.
The software came on three diskettes and they turn out to be for Windows only!
On the box it is clearly stated "OS/2 2.x " under "System Requirements".

Does anyone know where I can obtain the ODBC drivers for OS2?

Programming / SQL VX-Rexx
« on: April 10, 2023, 08:25:26 pm »
Hi,

I have a sql query created with DBExpert, and it works fine in DBE.

When trying to use the same SQL statement in VX-Rexx I get this error:

[ODBC dBase driver] [dBase] Extra characters at end of query: JOIN.

VX-Rexx is set up to use the same odbc driver as DBExpert so I suspect that VX-Rexx is "doing"
something to the sql statement before sending it to the driver.
(Simple SQL statements without "JOIN" works fine with VX-Rexx.)

Has anyone experience with this?

Applications / GS adding text to pdf's
« on: February 28, 2023, 04:22:56 pm »
Hi,

I'm using gsos2 to add text to pdf-files and it has worked fine until I had to insert some special Norwegian characters.
Instead of inserting the characters æ, ø and å it creates blank spaces. (The ps-file that gsos2 uses for adding the text
shows the special characters correctly.)
The third line in the attached test.pdf is added by gsos2, should be identical to the first word in line 1 but three special
characters are missing.

Ideas anyone?

Applications / DMARC error
« on: August 17, 2022, 01:26:17 pm »
Hi,

I'm sending a lot of e-mails with Seamonkey 2.35 and it woks fine.
However, I've now been informed by one recipient (a company) that the e-mail I sent them has a "DMARC-error".

Got the following info from them;
---
Error info: Sender Policy Framework (SPF) error.

DMARC error. This error means that the message failed authentication tests and is not DMARC Compliant.
A DMARC Compliance failure means that both SPF & DKIM verification tests failed.
---

Anyone who knows aything about this?

Programming / Rexx close cmd.exe
« on: November 12, 2021, 03:54:31 pm »
Hi,

I'm running this from a VX-Rexx program;

address cmd "start D:\GS\GS9.15\BIN\gsos2 -dQUIET -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -o d:\PDF\modified.pdf d:\PDF\source.ps -f d:\PDF\source.pdf"

and it brings up a cmd window that remain open after the script has finished.

Would prefer not to see that cmd window at all or at least get it closed automatically.
Have searched without finding what I need so I hope I have not overlooked the obvious :)

Suggestions?

Utilities / Backup solutions
« on: October 27, 2021, 06:24:17 pm »
Looking for a backup solution that after an inital full backup can be configured to only back up new and
changed files in futural back ups. (Backing up to an external SATA or USB3, both JFS.)
I have PM Backup Suite but cannot find any setting for backing up only new or changed files.
Any recommendtions?

Utilities / Find missing files
« on: April 18, 2021, 07:04:23 pm »
Hi,

I have some directories with lots of pdf-files like this:
10001.pdf
10002.pdf
10003.pdf
10005.pdf
The files are supposed to be consecutively numbered and this case only four files in the directory and it's easy to see that 10004.pdf is missing.
However, in a directory with thousands of files it's hard to manually find the missing ones.

Does anyone know of a program that takes "start file number ie. 10001.pdf" and "end file number ie. 10500.pdf" as
parameters and lists the missing ones?

Programming / SAF-T
« on: December 17, 2020, 06:24:55 pm »
Hi,

Anyone here with knowledge of converting accounting data from text files to SAF-T?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SAF-T

At the moment there are only three standard accounting reports that, by local law, must be availble upon request
from tax authorities. I think REXX and XML can be used for this.

Storage / eSata
« on: December 11, 2020, 04:43:12 pm »
I have a ThinkStation P520 with an eSATA port and I'm trying to find some "external SSD disk system" to connect to it.
All systems I find use either USB 3.0 or Thunderbolt. Preferably I'd like to have an external enclosure/cabinet that can hold one or two SSD's. Any ideas?
