  1. Re: Windows 11 Update had a surprising result

    Well that was quicker to fix than I thought.
    The solution was to change "Startup - Default profile" to "Command Prompt" and "Startup - Default terminal application" to "Windows Console Host", not...
  2. Windows 11 Update had a surpprising result

    On my Windows 11 Hyper-V Dev machine I just applied the most recent Windows 11 update.

    Much to my surprise when I loaded the DF3.2 Console Mode application the screen was screwed.
    I was able...

    Thanks Greg
  4. Re: Maximum length of string sText defined in a procedure as Local String sText

    Good to know!!

    Three more related things, if I can be so bold:
    .1. What is the argument_size if you do not set it?
    .2. If a .flx module does a chain wait of another .flx module which sets a...
  5. Maximum length of string sText defined in a procedure as Local String sText

    This is DF3.2 Console Mode

    A global string can be defined to have a maximum length of 255
    String gsText has length 80
    String gsText 255 has length 255

    In a procedure or function
    Local...
  6. Re: What is the fieldname size maximum for a DF3.2 console mode application?

    Hi Garret
    If I remember correctly .... (more and more a big if)
    If you have a table named Inventory you must do the extra work of copying the Inventory.fd file to Inventor.fd.
    The table name...
  7. Re: What is the fieldname size maximum for a DF3.2 console mode application?

    I started with DF 2.3. Maybe it was a limit with DF 2.3 that was increased to 32 in DF3.x and I never noticed.
    Many times I had what would have been a nice 16 or 17 or ... character name and...
  8. Re: What is the fieldname size maximum for a DF3.2 console mode application?

    Hi Peter
    Thanks for the reply
    I agree with you, in many cases longer than 15 characters is much better. Not too long but around 25 is good depending in the situation.
    By the way you mentioned the...
  9. Re: What is the fieldname size maximum for a DF3.2 console mode application?

    dbBuilder DF19.1 working on a DataFlex Native database was ok with field names up to and including 32 characters. After that it said it was too long.
    A DF3.2 CM program with the 32 character field...
  10. Re: What is the fieldname size maximum for a DF3.2 console mode application?

    Thanks Vincent.

    I have been working under the rule that 15 was the max for way too many years.
    Two rules. Table names max 8 and Field names max 15. I found a workaround for Table names as long...
  11. Re: What is the fieldname size maximum for a DF3.2 console mode application?

    Thanks Dave
    I will try that. It could also be the compiler that up chucks.
    I will post the answer.
  12. What is the fieldname size maximum for a DF3.2 console mode application?

    We are continuing to gradually convert our main application from DF3.2 to DFlex web REST API based.

    I have worked under the thought that in a DF3.2 CM application the maximum size of a field name...
  13. DF3.2 ConsoleMode with SQL Driver and non-recnum tables

    Our conversion from DF3.2 CM to DF19.1 and beyond continues.
    We have started to use non-recnum tables for the new stuff that only uses DF19.1+ applications.
    Fine.
    But .... what if, we for some...
  14. Re: DF SQL Drivers mixing DF20x and DF3.2 programs

    I checked with Mertech and they stated if you use the Unicode driver (DF20.1+) do not also use their Classic driver (DF3.2 to DF19.1) on the same database.

    The Classic 32 bit driver is not...
  15. DF SQL Drivers mixing DF20x and DF3.2 programs

    We have an application with a MS SQL database that has lots of DF3.2 programs and an increasing number of DF19.1 Applications, mainly WebApps.
    We are keen to upgrade the DF19.1 apps to DF2022/2023...
  16. Re: Does a Load Balance weight changes require a restart?

    In a related posting, Kyle notes that when he change the Weight from 1 to 0, the Webservice stopped. All 10 or so live system webapps on the LB server stopped.
    Very bad. The client was not...
  17. Does a Load Balance weight changes require a restart?

    A customer of ours has three WebServer Machines, one LB (Load Balance) and two slaves running the WebApps (A and B), all DF19.1

    I wish to make a change to the WebApp.ini file in the WebApp on...

    Hi Marco
    Much appreciate the reply.
    Very timely. Its my task for the weekend.

    Let me see if I understand. The way I do that is to explain back to you how I think it works.

    There are 4...
  19. Re: From DF3.2 call a WebService OR an external program passing a 300 character parameter string

    Both good ideas.
    Thanks Vincent.

    I am presuming that there are no Windows Api's available to DF3.2 Console Mode that would do a direct call to a REST or SOAP WebService.
    Yeah?
  20. Re: From DF3.2 call a WebService OR an external program passing a 300 character parameter string

    Actually with RunProgram you can pass a parameter of 255 characters to a .bat file.
    Also it looks like I could call a .cmd file that contains the curl command to call the webservice.
  21. From DF3.2 call a WebService OR an external program passing a 300 character parameter string

    We are slowly but surely converting our DF3.2 Console Mode application to a more modern WebApp / WebService API processing.

    What I would really like to do is be able to call a WebService from...
  22. Re: Base64 encoding in DF3.2 CM in URL calling WebApp

    Hi Larry
    Thanks for the offer but I have already implemented a work around solution.
    I too did something that looks like it might be secure, but is in fact a character substitution routine. ...
