If anyone edits with only one monitor, could you please post a screen shot of your 'window layout'

I'm working on the one monitor now, and all the layout I tried, is anoying me, just a little bit!

change the window layout to suit your own needs, each editor works differently,.
I did fifty projects last year, I would need to show you fifty screen shots as editors move things around for each project.

HT1414 Good morning, I have an issue with my Iphone 4s, could you please help me?

My IPhone 4s is losing battery at an alarming rate, now it is getting very HOT while it is turned on and even shuts itself off because it is getting too hot?

- Restart the device. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
- Reset the device. (Same article as above.)
- Reset All Settings (Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings)
- Restore from backup. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766 (If you don't have a backup, make one now, then skip to the next step.)
- Restore as new device. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137 For this step, do not re-download ANYTHING, and do not sign into your Apple ID.
- Test the issue after each step. If the last one does not resolve the issue, it is likely a hardware problem.

Stacked Bar Not Showing With Only One Record

I have created a stacked bar chart using SQL Server Report Builder 3.0. When the recordset returns more than one record the graph presents correctly. When the recordset contains only one record nothing is displayed. This appears to be a
bug with the product though it is possible I am configuring something incorrectly. Wondering if anyone has had similar experiences or has any insights.
Thanks,
Nick

Hi Nick,
I create a simple report in my test environment. However, I cannot reproduce it.
Please refer to the following situation to troubleshooting this issue:
1. Please check if you have correct expression in the chart. And if you can query correct data in the dataset.
2. Please check line color of the chart. Make sure it is white.
3. If the field in the Values dialog box is not integer data type, we will lose data in the chart.
If the issue is persist, could you please post the screenshot about your chart design, and your dataset with sample data? It is benefit for us to do further analysis.

Could you please take my three ibooks, Foreign Matter, Total Moisture and The Cad, off your site? They're causing me problems.

Ladies and Gentlemen,
This doesn't mean I don't love you, but could you please take my three ibooks off your site? I'm engaged in a promotion program with Amazon, and the books' availability on iTunes is causing me problems.
I had thought this was taken care of weeks ago, when I changed my arrangement with Smashwords, through whom the books were sent to you, but they're still for sale:
Foreign Matter is still at itunes.apple.com/us/book/foreign-matter-in-trouble/id445211125?mt=11;
Total Moisture is still at itunes.apple.com/us/book/total-moisture/id471795672?mt=11; and
The Cad is still at itunes.apple.com/us/book/the-cad/id476426186?mt=11.
I'd be so grateful if you could eliminate them from your site.
Happy thoughts,

My IPad 2, IPhone 3GS ans iPod no longer work with apple TV, I have 2 apple TV in my house and for he last 3 weeks the iPod was the only one we could use for appleTV now none of them works, the apple TV icon does not show up any more. Re-started everything.

Ok thank you so much, for your timely response.
RESPONSES:
1)   When I set up my iMac, I did not transfer any data directly from my windows PC. I simply used the same iTunes login and account. I have access to all of the files via the "Purchased" section of the iTunes store. If I click "Download Previous Purchases" text, I can download ALL of the purchases I have ever made.
2)   I have the Apple TV 2, so good news, question answered. I thought maybe it was the Apple TV 1, but it is the Black model, so bam. Good response for you. Well the whole damned reply is an awesome response, just pointing out that one piece of awesome. I stated that it was an Apple TV 2, and yet you were still good enough to figure I could be mistaken, and provide me with knowleedge just incase.
QUESTIONS:
3)   So can my iMac not stream the data directly from itunes, without download? Apple TV can, but perhaps that is something among many things that maker it unique, and awesome.
SERIOUSLY.... THANK YOU...
I work in the computer support section for the Military. The only problem is we use Windows , lol. Well that and i've been gone for nearly 6 months on recover. I go back next month though I hope. But working in that field gives me the abilty to judge responses that run inside the same vein. Your response was so awesome that I half thought I might have written it myself.

SQL query to retrieve families with only one generation from a family db

Hi,
I need to write an SQL query that would select families with only one generation ((which means a person - or a married couple - with kids) or (a person - or a married couple - with parents but no kids)) from a database containing families. The simplified db structure is:
person:
id - int, primary key
siblings:
id
parent_id
kid_id
marriage
id:
husband_id
wife_id
Could anyone please help me? I dont really have any idea how to accomplish that...

Hi,
Welcome to the forum!
Assuming that siblings (despite its name) contains only parent-child relationships, and that the parent_id could be either the mother or the father:
WITH got_tree AS
 SELECT CONNECT_BY_ROOT s.parent_id AS root_id
 , LEVEL AS lvl
 FROM siblings s
 LEFT OUTER JOIN marriage m ON s.parent_id IN ( m.husband_id
 , m.wife_id
 START WITH parent_id NOT IN ( SELECT kid_id
 FROM siblings
 CONNECT BY s.parent_id IN ( PRIOR m.husband_id
 , PRIOR m.wife_id
 , PRIOR kid_id
SELECT root_id
FROM got_tree
GROUP BY root_id
HAVING MAX (lvl) <= 2
;This will get a list of parents who may or may not have children, but who do not have either parents or grandchildren.
To get their spouses and children (if any) you will have to join this result set to all the other tables. At that point, you can eliminate poeple who do not have ancestors themselves, but are married to people who have more than one generation of ancestors.
The details of how to do that depend on the details of your tables. If you'd like help, then post a little sample data (CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements for all tables) and the results you want from that data.

I'd need sample data in order to test this, of course.

How can I run 2 keynote presentations on 2 different macs with only one keyboard?

How can I have 2 different keynote presentations that I want to run simultaneously through 2 different projectors, but I'd like to try and avoid using 2 keyboards - and use a hardware solution, rather than relying on my 2 fingers!! (it's a long conference!!!) thanks for any help.

An iPhone can be synced with only one iTunes library at a time

I recently bought a MacBook Pro, and I figured it would be pretty simple to move my iPhone to sync with iTunes on the Mac from iTunes on my pc, afterall it is the same program and both are designed for the iPhone.
I have been successful in getting the Contacts and Calendar to sync, but the Music, Applications, Video and a few other things give me this message when I check the sync box:
"The iPhone is synced with another iTunes library. Do you want to erase the iPhone and sync with this iTunes library? An iPhone can be synced with only one iTunes library at a time. Erasing and syncing replaces the contents of this iPhone with the contents of this iTunes library."
Obviously, I don't want to erase everything. Actually, I don't care about Music, Videos, Podcasts or Ringtones as I don't have any, but I do care about Photos and Applications. Actually Photos I can reload too, but I don't want to loose the apps I have purchased with the iTunes App Store.
I even tried going back to the PC and unchecking the Sync boxes on it, hoping this might disassociate it from the phone, but now even on that PC I get the same message.
How do I disconnect phone from the old iTunes and be able to sync it to the new iTunes? This should be simple right?

I made an appointment with a Mac Genius and I will say that while it was better than getting to talk to India on a poor quality phone call it was just about as helpful. Sure she was cute and friendly, but I left without my issue resolved and was surprised that I didn't even get a followup from anyone asking about my experience (hence my venting here)
Anyway, I found a solution for my issue here: http://tinyfish.net/2008/07/18/how-to-sync-iphone-with-multiple-computers/
This is a real solution to the issue, and has the benefit that I can do this to as many machines as I need and sync at any of them instead of just one. Hopefully, Apple doesn't delete my response since it truly is the answer to the problem and others might be looking for the same solution.

I want to make a video clip using two still pictures, placing side by side. I am able to make with only one at a time. Also, I am able to move the picture using Transform. But unsuccessfull in making with two stills in same clip. Thank you for reply.

If you want a Picture in Picture effect, stack one still on top of the other with a connect edit. Use Transform to scale and reposition the top image.

Nodes with Only One Lower-Level Node = Hide

Hi everyone
Have anyone present this situation:
Iu2019ve a quey to report inventory aging. It has two hierarchies to show data. In Rows I have Major Markets and in Columns a date hierarchy to show aging Ex: from 0 to 8 months, 9+ and 13+. Of course here I have also value and volume.
Query reports all values for all major markets fine. When I filter one major market, letu2019s say France also brings detailed figures but when I add any drill down in rows all values goes to cero (0).
Te estrange is that if you swap drill down order with major markets or drill down by columns with the same characteristic figures come out again as usual.
I know this sounds like a SAP note but I have not been able to find it either.
Thanks a lot for your help, and of course points will be assignedu2026..
Ps. Important, this happen when option u201CNodes with Only One Lower-Level Node = Hideu201D (this is selected on purpose because there are some repeated nodes in major market hierarchy Ex. France u2013 France and if there is just one value under first node then means that only display of last one is necessary to avoid repeated values).

Solution we found is to remove flag "Do not display leaves for inner-nodes in the query", directly on the hierarchy.
Thanks

How to make 1D Array but with only one element filled in Real Time

Hi folks,
here I am with another question. I want to implement an prediction discrete state space observer which is going to run on a CRIO real time target. I am going to do it just like in the example which comes with LV.
I have some questions regarding the input and outputs which in the example those are "dummy".
My model is a SISO model, but the function "Construct SS model" returns parameters (A,B,C,D Matrices) as 2D arrays, so once you connect the cluster model into the Discrete Observer model, it takes y and u as 1D arrays despite of the fact that there is a SISO model.
I realized that the function I am using in the simulations, uses 1D arrays but with only one element filled:
Does anyone knows how to implement such 1D arrays in Real Time? I guess the way to do it is preallocating one array of zeros of size 1, and then recirculating it through some SR, and replacing the element with my real input and output, but at the dummy.vi, they are using a simple "build array"
function.

Ok, I did it that way. But I am facing another problem right now...
At some point the Discrete Observer return a NAN array, you will see the code in the code snippet?
I get rid of that component by component, but the observer gets "stuck" in it. So my Control law is zero... but the state stimate is NAN.
Also I am attaching the VI.
I do not know why, since in the simulation program all runs well. any thoughts? Maybe the internal numeric precision of the State Space Model?

SQL Server 2012 Undetected Deadlock in a table with only one row

We have migrated our SQL 2000 Enterprise Database to SQL 2012 Enterprise few days ago.
This is our main database, so most of the applications access it.
The day after the migration, when users started to run tasks, the database access started to experiment a total failure.
That is, all processes in the SQL 2k12 database were in lock with each other. This is a commom case of deadlock, but the Database Engine was unable to detect it.
After some research, we found that the applications were trying to access a very simple table with only one row. This table has a number that is restarted every day and is used to number all the transactions made against the system. So, client
applications start a new transaction, get the current number, increment it by one and commit the transaction.
The only solution we found was to kill all user processes in SQL Server every time this situation occurs (no more than 5 minutes when all clients are accessing the database).
No client application was changed in this migration and this process was working very well for the last 10 years.
The problem is that SQL 2k12 is unable to handle this situation compared to SQL 2k.
It seems to occurs with other tables too, but as this is an "entry table" the problem occurs with it first.
I have searched internet and some suggest some workarounds like using table hints to completely lock the table at the begining of the transaction, but it can't be used to other tables.
Does anyone have heard this to be a problem with SQL 2k12? Is there any fixes to make SQL 2k12 as good as SQL 2k?

First off re: "Unfortunatelly, this can't be used in production environment as exclusive table lock would serialize the accesses to tables and there will be other tables that will suffer with this problem."
This is incorrect.
Using a table to generate sequence numbers like this is a bad idea exactly because the access must be serialized. Since you can't switch to a SEQUENCE object, which is the correct solution, the _entire goal_ of this exercise to find a way to properly
serialize access to this table. Using exclusive locking will not be necessary for all the tables; just for the single-row table used for generating sequence values with a cursor.
I converted the sample program to VB.NET:
Public Class Form1
Private mbCancel As Boolean = False
Private Sub Button1_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Dim soConn As ADODB.Connection
Dim soRst As ADODB.Recordset
Dim sdData As Date
Dim slValue As Long
Dim slDelay As Long
'create database vbtest
'go
' CREATE TABLE [dbo].[ControlNumTest](

' )WITH (PAD_INDEX = OFF, STATISTICS_NORECOMPUTE = OFF, IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF, ALLOW_ROW_LOCKS = ON, ALLOW_PAGE_LOCKS = ON, FILLFACTOR = 80) ON [PRIMARY]
' ) ON [PRIMARY]
mbCancel = False
Do
' Configure the Connection object
soConn = New ADODB.Connection
With soConn
.ConnectionString = "Provider=SQLNCLI11;Initial Catalog=vbtest;Data Source=localhost;trusted_connection=yes"
.IsolationLevel = ADODB.IsolationLevelEnum.adXactCursorStability
.Mode = ADODB.ConnectModeEnum.adModeReadWrite
.CursorLocation = ADODB.CursorLocationEnum.adUseServer
.Open()
End With
' Start a new transaction
Call soConn.BeginTrans()
' Configure the RecordSet object
soRst = New ADODB.Recordset
With soRst
.ActiveConnection = soConn
.CursorLocation = ADODB.CursorLocationEnum.adUseServer
.CursorType = ADODB.CursorTypeEnum.adOpenForwardOnly
.LockType = ADODB.LockTypeEnum.adLockPessimistic
.Open("SELECT * FROM dbo.ControlNumTest")
End With
With soRst
sdData = .Fields!UltData.Value ' Read the last Date (LOCK INFO 1: See comments bello
slValue = .Fields!UltNum.Value ' Read the last Number
If sdData <> Date.Now.Date Then ' Date has changed?
sdData = Date.Now.Date
slValue = 1 ' Restart number
End If
.Fields!UltData.Value = sdData ' Update data
.Fields!UltNum.Value = slValue + 1 ' Next number
End With
Call soRst.Update()
Call soRst.Close()
' Ends the transaction
Call soConn.CommitTrans()
Call soConn.Close()
soRst = Nothing
soConn = Nothing
txtUltNum.Text = slValue + 1 ' Display the last number
Application.DoEvents()
slDelay = Int(((Rnd * 250) + 100) / 100) * 100
System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(slDelay)
Loop While mbCancel = False
If mbCancel = True Then
Call MsgBox("The test was canceled")
End If
Exit Sub
End Sub
Private Sub Button2_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Button2.Click
mbCancel = True
End Sub
End Class
And created the table
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[ControlNumTest](
[UltData] [datetime] NOT NULL,
[UltNum] [int] NOT NULL,
CONSTRAINT [PK_CorreioNumTeste] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED
[UltData] Asc
)WITH (PAD_INDEX = OFF, STATISTICS_NORECOMPUTE = OFF, IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF, ALLOW_ROW_LOCKS = ON, ALLOW_PAGE_LOCKS = on, FILLFACTOR = 80) ON [PRIMARY]
) ON [PRIMARY]
go insert into ControlNumTest values (cast(getdate()as date),1)
Then ran 3 copies of the program and generated the deadlock:

It's the S lock that comes from the cursor read that's the villian here. U locks are compatible with S locks, so one session gets a U lock and another gets an S lock. But then the session with an S needs a U, and the session with a U needs an
X. Deadlock.
I'm not sure what kind of locks were taken by this cursor code on SQL 2000, but on SQL 2012, this code is absolutely broken and should deadlock.
The right way to fix this code is to add (UPDLOCK,SERIALIZABLE) to the cursor
.Open("SELECT * FROM dbo.ControlNumTest with (updlock,serializable)")
So each session reads the table with a restrictive lock, and you don't mix S, U and X locks in this transaction. This resolves the deadlock, but requires a code change.
I tried several things that didn't require a code, which did not resolve the deadlock;
1) setting ALLOW_ROW_LOCKS=OFF ALLOW_PAGE_LOCKS=OFF
2) SERIALIZABLE isolation level
3) Switching OleDB providers from SQLOLEDB to SQLNCLI11
Then I replaced the table with a view containing a lock hint:
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[ControlNumTest_t](
[UltData] [datetime] NOT NULL,
[UltNum] [int] NOT NULL,
CONSTRAINT [PK_CorreioNumTeste] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED
[UltData] Asc
)WITH (PAD_INDEX = OFF, STATISTICS_NORECOMPUTE = OFF, IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF, ALLOW_ROW_LOCKS = ON, ALLOW_PAGE_LOCKS = on, FILLFACTOR = 80) ON [PRIMARY]
) ON [PRIMARY]
go
create view ControlNumTest as
select * from ControlNumTest_t with (tablockx)
Which, at least in my limited testing, resovlved the deadlock without any client code change.

Importing m2t into iMovie with only one conversion

Ok, so m2t files have been beaten to death in these forums, but I'm still puzzled. Here's my situation. I have a Canon HV20 and only replay the tape once to avoid wear and save time (really?). So I capture to m2ts. Fine. Now I'd like to be able to use these in iMovie with only one conversion. I can convert the stream to a framed (QT) format like AIC. But I'd like to do this just once. Meaning, when I convert clip.m2t to clip.mov I'd like to drag this to iMovie and have iMovie just "copy" an not import/convert. Can I convert to a format where I can just drag to the media folder in the given iMovie project?
For those watching. My toolchain is
1. rewind the tape
2. capture with HDVsplit (win), DVHScap (mac), or whatever
3. split/clip the m2t files with HDVsplit (win) or MPEGstremclip (mac/win), or HDVxDV (mac) and leave as m2t
4. convert the m2t clips I want in my movie to QT+AIC
5. import these QT+AIC .mov clips into iMovie
6. edit
I'd like to optimize 4 and 5. (And by the way, someone should port HDVsplit to mac.)
Thanks,
WL

MPEG Streamclip allows you to export as QuickTime with Apple Intermediate Codec (also QT Player can do this but I prefer MPEG Streamclip for these tasks). I think you should set the resolution to 1440x1080 because that's what iMovie uses internally for 1080i.
I did a quick test and iMovie seems to accept such AIC-encoded .mov files directly to its Media folder. But run some tests through your complete workflow before trusting this will work!
Ok this was helpful. If I take 1440x1080 QT/AIC output from MPEGstreamclip, I can efficiently copy the file in the project. Works like a charm and looks great in iMovie. (I can also now take the 1920x1080 QT/AIC output from streamclip and do the same; not sure what change there. I did a test on a 1:24 length mpeg-2 stream. The 1440x1080 with and without deinterlacing were 700MB and 600MB respectively, while the 1920x1080 is at 800MB. So it makes sense to do 1440x1080 since iMovie handles it fine.)
In summary (hope this helps someone), here's what I do:
0a. Macbook with iMovie HD
0b. LaCie macos formated external drive drive (hfs+)
0c. Canon HV20 filmed at 1080i (not sure what do with the 24p cinemode)
1. use DVHScap (mac) to capture the stream from the HV20. This gives file.m2t, for example. This can be viewed with VLC, for example. (on windows use HDVsplit to capture). Copy the m2t file to the external drive.
2. now use MPEGstreamclip to disect the m2t file. use the 'i' and 'o' to mark inputs and outputs and then "save as". Save this as file_clip.ts for example. The .ts is the same as an .m2t file, so save it as either.
3. now you should have 1 or more file_clip.ts depending on how many times you do step 1 and 2.
4. use MPEGstreamclip in batch mode to take the file_clip.ts or m2t files and "export to Quicktime". Select Apple Intermediate Codec as the type compression type. Yank the quality up to 100%. Select 1400x1080 (4:3) as the frame size and click "deinterlace video" (my opinion on the deinterlacing). Save the movie on the external drive as file_clip.mov.
5. now start a new iMovie HD project and save the project to the external drive. Quit iMovie. open-apple-click on the myproject.iMovieProject to "show package contents". After this you can move your file_clip.mov files to the media directory under this package. A move is best since copy does an actual copy. Move just moves a pointer.
6. start up iMovie and view the trash can when prompted ("Some stray files were found in the project...."). Now drag the trash files to the clips area in iMovie.
7. now edit.
This is a nice approach for a couple of reasons. The .m2t files are great storage formats. The conversion from mpeg-2 stream (m2t) to a framed format like QT+AIC (mov) is done +only once+. And the quality is maintained. Also, I can do this all to an external harddrive, which is nice since I'm limited on my macbook.
I don't have HD gear. Currently I archive SD DV to tape and to big harddisks. In the future I would like to continue to archive HD content in its native compressed (non-AIC) form. Obviously this works via DVHScap, right?
Yes. The m2t files are a great archival format. The 1:25 long clip above was only 275MB while the framed formats were 3 times that. The stream saves differences so it's a lot more efficient (but you don't have frames for editing). VLC is also quick as quick for viewing these. DVHScap never drops any packets (mpeg-2) when capture (for me at least). HDVsplit is also great, but only for windows. HDVxDX also worked like a charm.
Well anyway, thanks for the chatter.

How use two templantes with only one job ?

I have two templantes and want use with only one job.I use with input one xml data file !!
Is this possible?
Please Help!!
Thanks,
Bruno.

I probably missed this one earlier or felt that since it referenced an XML data file that I couldn't provide a definitive answer. I'm still not sure I can because we don't use XML for our data files, but use the "field nominated format". An expansion on Tammy's information: 1. use a multi-step job with each b task calling a different MDF. With this correction, it assumes that you either have access to set up the tasks/jobs yourself or can convince your Central administrator to do so. What happens is that TASKA is set up to reference FORMA and TASKB is set up to reference FORMB. Then a job is set up that causes both TASKA & TASKB to be ran. This will likely result in two different print files being sent to the printer. That may or may not be desirable, depending on whether your printer is set up to do something special between each print file (insert separator page, offset, whatever). Personally, I don't recommend this as it can quickly cause an unnecessary proliferation of tasks and jobs (we print 100's of differing form combinations with a single job definition). 2. I can't really address this as I didn't even know that a single form could cause another to be called. I would expect that unless the "base" form (say it is FORMA) is to always print with the secondary form (FORMB) it is restrictive and has the potential to cause a proliferation of FORMA files for the various combinations that are to be printed. Maybe it is possible to have logic to check the value of a data field to control what forms get called. 3. If you pass the XML file through a translation step and then through the transformation agent (maybe it can be done in a single step) this should work. It does add another step to the job as well as requiring learning to use the transformation agent. Depending on the combination of forms to be printed, you might need a different translation definition for each one, or at the very least have a data field that you can check the value of to determine what ^form commands to put in the output file. 4. My recommendation is based on assuming an XML data file has the same capabilities as a field nominated file. Within a field nominated file are various print agent commands, including references to data as well as which forms are to be printed (and a whole bunch of other commands). An XML file should have the same features - I just can't say what they might look like. If your current data file has no "form" reference but depends on the job/task definition you might have to stick with option 1. If it has a "form" reference, then you just need to insert additional references for additional forms. Then it is up to the source of your data (or a transformation agent step) to specify which forms are to be printed. For example, in field nominated format, the file might look like: ^job XYZ additional parameters ^form FORMA.MDF ^field FIELD1 data ^field FIELD2 data ^form FORMB.MDF ^field FIELD1 data ^field FIELD3 data or it might look like the way our files look: ^job XYZ additional parameters ^global FIELD1 data ^global FIELD2 data ^global FIELD3 data ^form FORMA.MDF ^form FORMB.MDF As you can see in the first example, there is a reference to the form followed by all fields that go on it followed by another form reference with the fields that go on it. This particular method, using all "^field" commands for defining the data requires that data duplicated between the forms be duplicated. (Or, the use of some ^global commands like the following.) In the second example, all data is defined first using the "^global" command followed by all of the form references. This allows for the data to be defined only once. If there is something unique regarding a particular form the field can be ^global at the beginning or it can be ^field b after the ^form reference (similar to the first example). As previously mentioned, the XML file should have the same capability but in XML notation, something like the following (forgive me as it has been years since I took the XML class and don't use it in my daily work so the actual format could be wrong, not to mention the actual labels): <job name=XYZ,option=aaaa,option=bbbbbbb> <form name=FORMA.MDF> <field name=FIELD1, value=xxxxxxxxxxx></field> <field name=FIELD2, value="xxxxxxxxxxxxx"></field> </form> <form name=FORMA.MDF> etcetera </job> or maybe: <job name=XYZ,option=aaaa,option=bbbbbbb> <global name=FIELD1,value=xxxxxxxxxxxx></global> <global name=FIELD2,value="xxxxxxxxxxxxx"></global> etcetera <form name=FORMA.MDF></form> <form name=FORMB.MDF></form> </job> or even (but I doubt it): <job name=XYZ,option=aaaa,option=bbbbbbb> <globals> name=FIELD1,value=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, name=FIELD2,value="xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" </globals> <forms> name=FORMA.MDF, name=FORMB.MDF </forms> </job>
