Migrating to Image/SQL - Fred White, Adager
According to HP Marketing, to provide SQL access to your database all
you need to do is :Run IMAGESQL.PUB.SYS and enter a few commands which
a) attach your database to an SQL DBEnvironment and b) authorize
specified users SQL access to your database.  Unfortunately, in the
real world, life is not that simple.  This paper addresses some of the
potholes and pitfalls which should be addressed prior to migration to
IMAGE/SQL.  Database Administrators and Application Developers who
ignore the issues may be disappointed with the results and may be left
with long-term maintenance and support headaches.

Robelle s high-performance data tool on the HP3000, for various types
of integrity checks.
 
Programming the HP3000 Command Interpreter - Ken Robertson, Robelle
Consulting Ltd.
Many tasks can be performed without the need to write a 3GL program:

Command Interpreter (CI).  The built-in  language  of the CI is not
mysterious and can be deciphered with a bit of help.  In addition to
the basics of CI programming, this session will show how to simulate
arrays, store variables across sessions, and manipulate files.  It will
also explore the value of combining CI command files with third-party
tools such as Qedit and Suprtool from Robelle, and MPEX from VESOFT.
 
Building client/server, hypertext multimedia applications on the HP3000
or 9000, practically for free - Kirk Olson, Cerius Technology Group, Inc.

Desk, Collaborative systems, knowledge base, bulletins, personnel
systems, resume tracking, organization newsletters, policy manuals,
expense reporting, video briefings, executive information systems,
pricing updates and thousands of other internal and external
applications or any application that deals with text and small
transactions.  These applications can be built with all existing

Qedit s Forgotten Commands - Hans Hendriks,  Robelle Consulting Ltd.
The Qedit full-screen editor for MPE and HP-UX has been in constant
development for many years.  There was even a time when Qedit didn t
have full-screen mode!  Therefore, it isn t surprising that many useful
features have been forgotten or overlooked.  This tutorial will take
Qedit users on an archaeological dig, to find the answer to pressing
questions:  How many ways are there to close a file in Qedit?  What to
do when your Quick Reference Guide has walked away?  How do you center
a line? What does Qedit do if I type ",,"? How can I insert the same
block of text many times into a file?  What is the easiest way to get
back the previous screen display?  Can Qedit delete all the blank lines
in a file?
 
Suprlink:  Combining Data Files Without Keys - Paul Gobes,  Robelle

even needing them in the database.  Suprtool is Robelle s
high-performance tool for extracting and manipulating data on the
HP3000 systems.  The component of Suprtool which combines data is
"Suprlink".  Attendees will learn how to use Suprlink to attach
customer addresses to invoice details, and to link from product numbers
through invoice numbers to customers who have ordered the product.
Participants will learn when to best apply Suprlink for optimum performance.
 
Speeding Up QUIZ with Suprtool - Hans Hendriks, Robelle Consulting Ltd.
QUIZ is great for writing and formatting complex reports.  Suprtool is
unbeatable for selecting records from datasets and files, with fast
serial reads.  This paper shows how these tools can be combined to
knock hours off those long batch jobs.  Students will learn techniques
for creating PowerHouse subfiles, populating them with qualified
records using Suprtool, and using the resulting data in QUIZ reports.
Advanced topics to be covered include how to populate a subfile with
data from several datasets, differences between QUIZ and QTP subfiles,
and when it is faster to let Quiz do the entire job.
