Subject: [HP3000-L] UDC Util? Clean UDC?


OK, age could be an issue here.
What was the utility we used to clean COMMAND.PUB.SYS?
I sure it was a CSL? Does anyone have a copy?
Thanks,
-Craig

\center 1;uw 00001000 ^gUDCSORT--UDC Sort and Reorganization^s 00002000 \space 2 00003000 \#p=1;heading "-^#p-",center;blank "$" 00004000 Whenever a SETCATALOG <filename(s)> command is entered, the system 00005000 creates one or more entries in a file called COMMAND.PUB.SYS. 00006000 There is one record for the user name and one record for each 00007000 UDC file specified. This also holds true for the account and 00008000 system UDC's. The record layout is as follows: 00009000 \para;space 1;image 7;inlft 2 00010000 Bytes Description 00011000 ----- ----------- 00012000  0 - 1 One-word record pointer 00013000  2 - 3 One-word type (1=user name, 2=file name, 0=unused) 00014000  4 - 11 User name (User name record, @=account UDC) 00015000 12 - 19 Account name (User name record, @=system UDC) 00016000  4 - 38 File name including password (File name record) 00017000 \para;space 1;inlft 0 00018000 The record pointer of a user name record points to the first (or 00019000 only) record that contains the file name record. In the file name 00020000 record, the pointer is zero, if there are no other records, or the 00021000 record number of the next record. 00022000 The first record in the file is a special record that contains 00023000 a pointer to the next available record, the number of records 00024000 in the file less one (highwater mark), and the number of used 00025000 records in the file (type=1 or 2). 00026000 \para;space 1 00027000 When the system adds records to the file, it first checks to see 00028000 if there are any deleted records (if the next available record 00029000 number is less than the highwater mark). If there are, it will 00030000 use these records before moving the EOF mark. Consequently, the 00031000 records are added in no particular order. Furthermore, the user 00032000 name record is added last. 00033000 \para;space 1 00034000 When a user logs on, the system checks the system directory to 00035000 see if UDC's exist on the user, account, and system levels. 00036000 For each of these levels, COMMAND.PUB.SYS is searched to find 00037000 the user name record that matches. This is done by a serial 00038000 read down the file. If the user name record is towards the bottom 00039000 of the file, most of the file has to be scanned to find this record. 00040000 Once the user name record has been found, the record pointer is 00041000 used to get the corresponding file name record(s). Since these 00042000 are directed reads, these do not take much time. 00043000 \para;space 1 00044000 By bringing the user name records to the beginning of the file, 00045000 UDCSORT helps to reduce the number of reads that have to be 00046000 done on the file. The default order is: 1)$System UDC; 2)$Account 00047000 UDC's (sorted alphabetically); and then 3)$User UDC's (sorted 00048000 alphabetically by account and then by user). If the program is 00049000 run in a session, the user has the option to modify the order after 00050000 it is sorted. 00051000 \para;new 00052000 The following is a sample session with UDCSORT. The user responses 00053000 are enclosed in <>.

As the 00108000 program will tell you, users may still logon, but a SETCATALOG 00109000 will fail. However, when the program gets ready to purge 00110000 COMMAND.PUB.SYS and then rebuild it, it will make sure that 00111000 it has exclusive access to the file. If it is unable to get 00112000 exclusive access, it will indicate this and allow you to make 00113000 sure no one else is using the file before asking it to try again. 00114000 If the program is run in batch mode and finds that it is unable to 00115000 purge COMMAND.PUB.SYS, it will terminate. 00116000                                                                         00117000 COMMAND.PUB.SYS does not have to be 'perfect' for UDCSORT to 00118000 run correctly. It will read the file even if the record length 00119000 is greater than 20 words. The new file will have a 20 word 00120000 record length. 00121000                                                                         00122000 Lines 570-590 in the program are for default values. They are 00123000 block factor (64), file capacity (system default,1023), device (1), 00124000 and workfile name (W1UDCTMP). For most installations, these should 00125000 work. If a file already exists with the name W1UDCTMP, UDCSORT 00126000 will purge the file. If you wish to have the new COMMAND.PUB.SYS 00127000 on another drive other than drive 1 or you don't care, change the 00128000 value of D$ to that drive number (or class) or DISC. 00129000                                                                         00130000 This program uses two subroutines. The first is BASSORT which 00131000 allows BASIC to call the system sort routines. This is from the 00132000 CSL. The other is BASSWHO. This is a shortened version of the 00133000 WHO intrinsic callable from BASIC. It is used to check if the 00134000 program is running in batch or session mode. BASSWHO is included 00135000 in UDCSORT1.SOURCE and UDCSORT1.PUB in source and USL forms, 00136000 respectively. BASSWHO is written in SPL. 00137000                                                                         00138000 The program should be prepped with maxdata=15000 and RL equal to 00139000 the RL that contains BASSORT and BASSWHO. If you choose to include 00140000 the subroutines in a SL instead, the RL parameter may be left off 00141000 of the PREP command. The program supplied has the subroutines 00142000 included. 00143000 * To join/leave the list, search archives, change list settings, * * etc., please visit http://raven.utc.edu/archives/hp3000-l.html *
