IDENTIFICATION DIVISION and PROGRAM-ID paragraph are mandatory for a compilation error free COBOL program.

A HTML form should be build before uploading the file. The following HTML code is used for selecting the file that is to be uploaded. The type attribute of input must be “file”.

<form enctype="multipart/form-data" action="uploader.php" method="POST">

<input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="100000" />

Choose a file to upload: <input name="uploadedfile" type="file" /><br />

<input type="submit" value="Upload File" />

</form>

At the time of executing uploader.php, the uploaded file will be stored in a temporary storage are on the webserver. An associative array $_FILES['uploadedfile']['name'] is used for uploading. The ‘name’ is the original file that is to be uploaded. Another associative array $_FILES['uploadedfile']['tmp_name'] is used for placing the uploaded file in a temporary location on the server and the file should be empty and should exist with the tmp_name.

The following code snippet is used for uploading the file.

$target_path = "uploads/"; // the target location of the file

$target_path = $target_path . basename( $_FILES['uploadedfile']['name']);

if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['uploadedfile']['tmp_name'], $target_path)) 

{

       echo "The file ". basename( $_FILES['uploadedfile']['name']). 

        " has been uploaded";

}

else

{

      echo “There was an error while uploading the file”;

}

The function move_uploaded_file()is used to place the source file into the destination folder, which resides on the server.

If the uploading is successful, the message “The file filename has been uploaded. Otherwise the error message “There was an error while uploading the file” would be displayed.

The window.history object can be written without the window prefix.
To protect the privacy of the users, there are limitations to how JavaScript can access this object.
Some methods:

    history.back() - same as clicking back in the browser
    history.forward() - same as clicking forward in the browser

AlertDialog : An alert dialog box supports 0 to 3 buttons and a list of selectable elements, including check boxes and radio buttons. Among the other dialog boxes, the most suggested dialog box is the alert dialog box.

ProgressDialog: This dialog box displays a progress wheel or a progress bar. It is an extension of AlertDialog and supports adding buttons.

DatePickerDialog: This dialog box is used for selecting a date by the user.

TimePickerDialog: This dialog box is used for selecting time by the user.

A protected method may only be accessed by classes or interfaces of the same package or by subclasses of the class in which it is declared.

Basic Replication : Basic replication is implemented using standard CREATE SNAPSHOT or CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW statements. It can only replicate data and not procedures, indexes replication is always one-way, and snapshot copies are read only.

Advanced Replication : Advanced replication supports various configurations of updatable snapshot, multi-master and update anywhere replication. It is more difficult to configure but allows data and other database objects like indexes and procedures to be replicated.

Differences between Basic and Advanced replications:

- With basic replication, data replicas provide read-only access to the table data whereas advanced replication features extend the capabilities of basic read-only replication by allowing applications to update table replicas throughout a replicated database system.

- With Basic Replication applications can query data from local data replicas. On the other hand with advanced replication, data replicas anywhere in the system can provide both read and update access to a table's data.

Overloading allows multiple functions to exist with same name but different parameters. Again if you take bike as an example, it has a function “Start” with two forms i.e. ’Auto Start’ and ’kick start’.

- NOHANDLE is an option that can be specified along with abnormal condition during program execution.

- When the exception occurs, no action is performed during execution of NOHANDLE command.

- The abnormal condition is ignored, even the EXEC CICS HANDLE condition exist.

- The abnormal condition is also ignored when EXEC CICS IGNORE condition is tested.

- The previous HANDLE CONDITION for other commands will not be effected with NOHANDLE option.
