Hi Frank/Vincent/Samuel,
I go way back to procedural 2.2, 2.3, and then 2.3b. I even tried PowerFlex. Of course, these were all DOS-based, including the first of DF's object-oriented versions...

Hi Frank/Vincent/Samuel,
I go way back to procedural 2.2, 2.3, and then 2.3b. I even tried PowerFlex. Of course, these were all DOS-based, including the first of DF's object-oriented versions...
Hi Samuel,
No, not yet. I'm still using DF19.1 with Windows 11, while my clients are using Windows 10 & 11, but mostly 11.
Hi Everyone,
I've noticed that the extended ASCII character set (128 - 255) is not available as it used to be many moons ago.
For example, the bullet character used to be 149, but if I try...
I don't really need to be quite that "fancy", as practically 100% of the time it is for debugging purposes, in which case it is taken out of the programme before it is put into production.
In the...
Hi Alberto/Bob,
Perhaps, I should have explained myself a little better.
For my purposes, I've always used ShowLn (or Show) for debugging purposes so that I can plainly see what certain values...
Hi Everyone,
Apologies - the heading should read:
Same as ShowLn (String(variable)) in a WebApp
What is the best way of doing something similar to ShowLn in Windows (where a separate Window...
Hi everyone,
One important thing I forgot to mention is that iPrecision does not have to be a positive number.
These are some examples when rounding up:
// Examples - using the 4 parameter...
Hi Dennis,
Thank you for that. Leaving it where it is, it would very quickly get lost, not to mention the question of someone trying to find it; "Now, where did I see that rounding thing". :)
Hi Samuel,
Yes, too true. From a technically correct point of view, programme code should never be duplicated, unless it is absolutely necessary.
Something else that may interest you is this -...
Hi Everyone,
This time I'm not needing assistance, but thought I would "pay it forward", so to speak.
I've created these two functions, although please bear in mind that a less flexible version...
Hi Everyone,
I was always under the impression that .DD files should always have the 'data rules' written into the class declaration for the sake of each rows data integrity, whereas the DDO...
Thank you very much Vincent. The cloud server had a timeout setting set to 20 seconds. It was calculated that the report, even though it jumps into its main index, was taking between 22 and 27...
Hi Everyone,
I have two questions regarding a Webapp operating from a cloud server:
1) What application is necessary to have in which to read Webapp.log?
2) This is a strange one, as when...
Hi everyone,
I'm using a cWebGrid and one of the columns is a cWebColumnDate. I am currently checking the date via a Validation Message procedure called CheckDate in it's DDO - this works fine for...
Hi Everyone,
Thank you so much to so many people who added their opinion, and expertise to my query. I'm also amazed with how many people contributed.
Certainly, I like the idea of only...
Hi Dennis,
Now that I know if Request_Save is sent from a view, whether it be a Windows or Webapp view, that Request_Validate automatically gets called, as opposed to Send Request_Save to hoDD,...
Hi Everyone,
Thank you to everyone who has assisted with this query/problem. It's quite clear now, that if a Request_Save is called from a view, providing it is a simple Send Request_Save, that...
Hi again Mike,
So does that mean that Request_Validate gets called somewhere else. The reason why I'm asking, is that I have a myriad of checks in request_validate, and when I press F2, or any of...
Thank you guys,
I really do think that a hook for such things would be a great idea, rather than having to create your own. I mean, it would be quite easy for DAW to place an empty function that,...
Hi Mike,
I'll give it a go, although going by the example below, I'm now not sure the order of things. I thought Request_Save would call Request_Validate by default, and yet the example below,...
Hi Everyone,
During a save procedure I need to create an external file, although only if certain conditions are met. I'm using Request_Validate to validate the data, and I'm also using...
Hi Mike,
Now that looks better. Honestly, I don't do that much string manipulation, especially of late, and I have certainly never used Overstrike. I was also looking at Replace, but gave up on...
Hi Everyone,
I have a Job system which keeps track of jobs via a "job number ".
The job number is always 12 characters long and is made up of the following:
Example: Job number 008801742023...
Hi Samuel,
I thought I could do that, because technically, I do only want this to happen within this particular view. BTW, the way I have coded this, there will ALWAYS be an existing record...
Hi Everyone,
I am using Request_Validate to test for user errors. This function is (of course) located in a DDO, which is called Scheddtl.DD.
Meanwhile I have a header/detail with Sched as the...
