Supported Multivalued Database Platform Types

The multivalued database type must be stored on the system setup properties.

File: MVOB Item: SPEC

Since august 2004 Jbase has been added!!

I,m looking at Open QM now


  1. JB = Jbase
  2. AP = Advanced pick including AP/ Pro
  3. D3 = Pick Systems D3
  4. GA = General Automatom - Including MVbase
  5. UV = Universe
  6. UD = Unidata
  7. RE = Reality & Reality X
  8. MV = Unknown

If using the unknown type then MVtools will set up the simplest possible installation to maximise the chances of actually working In this mode the editor will not have backspace and delete. If you have another system type not listed then there are instructions for how to port the MVtools to another Multivalued database type

If you decide to use the last resort type ‘MV’
You should use the DEFAULT terminal Set this from TCL using the command MVTERM and taking the ‘C’ option to change to DEFAULT if enother terminal definition is being used. This default terminal definition does not use any escape code sequences which can’t be detected in the MVGETCHR keyboard input routine. Type MVKEYS to display the keyboard characters for the current loaded terminal definition as shown on the MVTERM command.
