1392473 At UniVerse 10.3, modifications made to the new.record contents in a trigger subroutine are not applied when the WRITE completes. When using a BEFORE UPDATE or INSERT trigger on a file where the trigger subroutine modifies the new.record contents (i.e. argument 7), the modified contents of new.record are not applied when the record is written. One situation where this technique can be used is for audit purposes by adding a timedate stamp of when the record was last updated. The issue described below exists at UniVerse Release 10.3.0 and above.

1177927 Changes to the way licenses are consumed when running phantoms Due to the increasing use of APIs which allow PHANTOMS to interactively solicit user input, we have implemented changes to the way licenses are consumed. The original intent of PHANTOM licenses as for background processing such as batch file updates, report generation and other similar forms of processing where user intervention was not required. In fact, PHANTOMs will abort if they encounter an INPUT statement. However, with the introduction of the CallHTTP and Sockets interfaces as well as support for secure Sockets, XML, MQ and SOAP in recent versions of UniVerse and UniData, PHANTOMs now have the ability to interactively obtain user input without consuming a database license. This negatively impacts the U2 business and is not consistent with our competitors as they either impose limits or charge for PHANTOM licenses.
