Cool.

Personally I don't care how it's implemented, as long as the result can be printed, and i can edit the format of the text in-line. 99.5% of a all the reports I've ever written are in...

I'd write a "validate Delete" function that used embedded SQL to check for the existence of step children.

You can enforce a rule in the Data Dictionary (see Cascade Delete ) to prevent a record being deleted if child records exist.

I'm moving an old (vdf5? vdf7?) vintage codebase from vdf16 to DF19.1, and I've run DFrefactor over it (Awesome tool, everybody should use and contribute to it!). In the code base the original...

Thanks Vincent, this is VERY closely related to needing to be able to handle in-line formatting. In Contract & License boilerplate in-line Italics, and Bold, and sometimes Strikeout are required...

If you put it in it's own report section, then it does not take up space while it is hidden. Saves paper!

Thanks for the very clear Example Samuel. I at least understand how to follow up on this to see if it's gonna break stuff.

I'd use (Next({table.no})

in a "suppress" function, in a details B section, after each record is printed

return (Next({Table.no}) <= ({table,no} +1))

Thus the warning appears when the...

Well, it's like this. sure the program DISPLAYS multi line text just fine, but trying to edit a long paragraph in a text box, such as the "legal disclaimers" or "terms and Conditions" in a...

When you find the answer, please also apply it to Dataflex Reports too. Editing Text boxes with multi-line data is a pain there too.

don't worry about it. It's a reddit thing.

yeah. I'd have failed that test, or perhaps it'd DF20 that fails that test.

1. Adding the empty function should not have an effect but it does.
2. Without the middle function I get the result...

fun times.

If you are using an SQL back end, and are in a recent version 19-20 you can use a dbSuggestion form, so with each letter they type the system does a search for any matching value

at the top of the report explorer are "up" and "Down" arrow buttons, (I think they may be simple triangles) they move the highlighted item up and down.

/MM

Open report explorer.
move functions up or down with tool bar buttons.

On a related note, what functions are in your ELF DLL?

I've seen that the functionality is there, but I've never really needed anything that I couldn't do by finding the data before it got to DR.

Yes. You will.

Sorry for the misunderstanding Wil,

I used the SecMod from Plato, just as it was, without needing to dig too deep into what is under the hood. I wrote my own 2FA module, after I wrote the...

That's a fair response.

/MM

Ah I see,

I think that SecMod may be a subset of the whole security library, with some examples baked in.

yeah, I know, I've not actually decided on a route yet, just covering bases.

Certainly looks that way. You should submit an HDE ticket for that.

:-)

/MM

so, what is this other security Library of which you speak?

I thought SecMod was it, and the version in PLATO was very much similar to the released one. I guess I'm missing Something?
