What about ALL? back on Reality 2.0 - I remember that one back on our McDonnell Douglass spirit system.
George
ScreenPro was a product of Reality back then as well…
ALL became ProIV – Northgate – NGAHR - today
Hated ALL. - just thinking about it again has almost made me curl up in a ball!

ScreenDriver from David Hopper / Norse Systems
AccuTerm GUI does have a nice IDE for UI design, but is not a 4GL, as it does not connect the database to the UI - that is left for the programmer.

Subject: [mvdbms] Names of "Screen Generators", 4GL tools
I'm putting the names of various "screen generators" or what was once known as 4GL development tools on a slide and have the following for the MV space:
Blacksmith, the first one from Blacksmith Corporation, now ONgroup
Simple, from Pr1me perhaps or was there another vendor in the mix? Gone.
System Builder, then SB+, SB/XA, now from Rocket Software
Cuebic, from Cuebic (no longer supported?)
DesignBais, from DesignBais
Viságe, from Stamina Software, part of Pentana Solutions
Evoke, from BlueFinity
Proprietary VAR tools, such as Envision, now Colleague Studio from Ellucian
Does anyone have others to add to this list, whether currently marketed or not, whether proprietary or not? Tool name, development organization and current supporter of the product would be helpful information. There was one that Chandru worked on, for example, filed under "F" in my brain, but I can't retrieve it. I know there are more. I have enough to make the point I'll be making with the slide, but I was curious how many others we could collectively name.

Most of my imports into U2 have been with flat files.
Can I import directly from an SQL database or do I have to export SQL database to a flat file first?

I'm thinking that anything is possible but going to a flat file first and then into U2 simplifies things immensely.

Tony,
I’m having some success using UniBasic SQL statements. I am able to connect to an external Data Source. Now I’m trying figure out how to actually pull data out of the SQL database.
Here is what I have so far:

GOSUB INIT.SUB

*
PRINT MSG
IF ERROR.MSGS THEN
PRINT CONVERT(@AM, CHAR(10), ERROR.MSGS)
END
STOP
!
INIT.BCI.ENV:
BCI.ENV = ""
*
STAT = SQLAllocEnv(BCI.ENV)
BEGIN CASE
CASE STAT EQ SQL.SUCCESS
CASE STAT EQ SQL.ERROR ; MSG = "Unable to Allocate BCI Environment" ; ABORT.FLAG = @TRUE ; GOSUB GET.ERROR.MSGS
END CASE
RETURN
!
INIT.CONNECT.ENV:
CONNECT.ENV = ""
*
STAT = SQLAllocConnect(BCI.ENV, CONNECT.ENV)
BEGIN CASE
CASE STAT EQ SQL.SUCCESS
CASE STAT EQ SQL.ERROR ; MSG = "Unable to Allocate Connection Environment" ; ABORT.FLAG = @TRUE; GOSUB GET.ERROR.MSGS
CASE STAT EQ SQL.INVALID.HANDLE ; MSG = "Invalid Handle for Connection Environment" ; ABORT.FLAG = @TRUE; GOSUB GET.ERROR.MSGS
END CASE

Ten minutes spent designing, will save an hour's coding. Or something
like that. That was good practice back then, and is good practice today.
Think it through, and know what you're doing before you start.
