DF 25.0 error on tables - System table with multiple records issue

Robbert — Wed, 01 Jul 2026 11:39:33 GMT

Good afternoon,

We have just recently transfered over to 25.0, and all the testing with both embedded and SQL databases went well.

Now suddenly we get issues with our 25.0 application connected to a SQL database, stopping and giving errors over the fact the system tables have multiple records.
Our application is connected to the SQL database, and the software runs through RDP connections.
Nothing changed to the SQL server during the transfer from DF24 to 25.

I traced this back to 1 Savercord of a system table that happens when starting the application, and confirmed that this is protected with:
Get_Attribute DF_FILE_RECORDS_USED of [SystemTable].File_Number to iNumRecords

Yet multiple records are being created, not every time, and haven't yet traced when it happens. It seems random.
I confirmed through the DB Explorer that my System tables with this issue are defined as a system table.

Does anyone have any idea what causes this (or that this was a known issue? Couldnt find one in the forum posts), or had this happen themselves?

PLAYWRIGHT as Chrome browser agent for DF2024

Jim Mulenos — Wed, 17 Jun 2026 18:59:16 GMT

I am curious to hear what others have experienced using PLAYWRIGHT as a Chrome browser agent along with DF2024. We need to do some unattended & repetitive data grabs and PDF downloads from web sites with various access methods requiring unique scripts. Hearing about whatever you have accomplished in a similar vein with this or different tools would be most welcome.

Changing DD Buffer value post find

Ian Smith — Wed, 17 Jun 2026 10:46:10 GMT

Hi

I need to change values in the DD buffer post find but before the DEOs are updated (so the DEOs get the changed values).

Also need the DDO changed state to be unchanged.

Any ideas on how to do this?

Thanks
