Hi, We are experiencing problems with embedded control characters in our EAM application Ellipse. It is not causing a problem with the online system but it is with CSV extracts and print jobs. I have been able to get around the problem on the CSV extracts using the UNIX function 'tr' before...

Under other TP Systems it is possible to broadcast a message to Ellipse users, for example advising of an outage or shutdown. Does anyone know of a way of doing this through CICS? tia Greg

I have a script I'm working on to amend Vendor details and because of SOx I have a need to log the transactions and include the sign-on User Id. In RDL's you can reference the WX- data items from the common area, is this possible with VB scripts? TIA

Hi, Does anyone have an RDL and word template to use with Output Designer to print one page per employee showing details from MSF810, MSF760 & MSF761 they would be happy to share? At present we are using OD for Job Cards and after some initial problems it is working well but we are short on...

We are would like to explore the possibilities of using Crystal Reports with Ellipse 5.2.3.6 before we go to Service Pack 7 where we could use Business Objects instead of Corvu. The thinking is that SP 7 is still some time away and moving to Crystal Reports now would give us a head start when...

I'm trying to get Output Designer working on a Windows 2000 server and HP-UX UNIX. The install and setup have closely followed the reference material and on the surface all looks OK. The printer on UNIX is a copy of another Output Designer printer operating in another Ellipse environment...

I bought my laptop in the UK but now live in Australia and have changed the region code for the DVD player for Australia via the properties too many times and now it is locked for the UK. Is there a registry setting I can change to make the default region 4 instead of 2?

We've recently received a new MSR688 and MSS688 both of which reference table file XT. We don't have it defined on the XX table and I can find no reference to it in any of the Ellipse documentation. I think it relates to calculating Tax entries by Period rather than annually. Does anyone have...

A file we generate for eft payments to a bank has the character ^Z in position one, but not on every line. The file is generated by a Cobol program then dd is used to format it to a text file. I know ^Z has a special significance but I can't remember what it is. Can someone help me here please...

Does anyone know how to reverse a pre-paid invoice where nothing has been received against the PO and then cancel the PO? I can't find any doco relating to this. Many thanks Greg

Hi, We run several CICS regions on HP-UX supporting the Ellipse application with a Citrix front end. We are licensed for a finite number of Ellipse sessions and I was looking for a solution to monitor how many CICS sessions are connected which will tell me how many Ellipse sessions are active...

I have a directory on a HP-UX server which has files created by many users. I wish to rcp files to another server but only for a certain user or owner. The files will have the same group but different owners. Can anyone help please? Regards Greg

I know how to check last modified date and date last accessed but I am unable to find the command to show me when a file was created. The platform is HP-UX 11.11 Thanks in advance Greg

We're experiencing a problem attempting a conversion on one of the tables where the extracted flat file exceeds two Gigabytes. It's giving a run time error of 194 and the manual says to recode your program to create more than one file - a workaround. With later versions of Micofocus you can...

Does anyone know where I can find what values can be assigned to COBSW. I am particularly interested in giving the MIMS batch programs more sort space and I believe this can be set via the COBSW. I know this used to be an option under the Mincom TP. We are running MIMS 4.3 on HP with Oracle...

I'm trying to write a script to compute the run times of COBOL batch programs. I am restricted in that I am unable to put 'wrappers' around the job to capture the time. We're using AUTOSYS to control the batching environment and I'm extracting the run information from the Monbro (Monitor...

I'm looking for a better way of retrieving RDL CSV files from UNIX/MIMS to a local or network drive. Ideally I would like a Windows look and feel dialogue box from where the MIMS User can only see his/her output on the UNIX server, or from a central holding point on a NT fileserver. After...

Hi All, I made a post some time ago relating to MIMS user ID's and TUXEDO. I thought I'd post it again just in case someone has come up with a way. The Problem: MIMS in A UNIX/TUXEDO environment only shows the NT account details of the user - it does not show the MIMS User ID. This means...
