[Migrated content. Thread originally posted on 03 October 2011]Hello!We have recently started to research and use AcuSQL. We use AcuSQL to export reporting data to a SQL Server for reporting issues. This is meant for a HQ solution, wich will gather data for several companies.As the use of this is for HQ reporting, we need to open a connection to a central, remote SQL Server. Therefore, we need to connect to a SQL Server that is residing on a remote maching on the same network. Possibly also through the internet.My question is; how can this be done? Has someone else tried this?We have tried to put the adress of the computer in front of the servername/instancename. But we cant make it work.Example:move "\\\\\\\\" to servernamemove "" to useridmove "" to passwdEXEC SQL CONNECT TO :servername as sqlConn USER :userid USING :passwd END-EXECI would be very grateful if someone could give me a hint.Regards Dagl

[Migrated content. Thread originally posted on 26 August 2011]Hello,I went through some posts regarding converting Dialog system screens to web forms but didn't find anything concrete. Does Micro Focus has any recommendation or component in the later releases of Net Express/Studio Enterprise Edition to support migration from Dialog system to web forms? As per my understanding, Dialog System has been retired and one possible way is to expose the business logic as web service and get it integrated into the newly built web forms.I would appreciate the response from anyone who has any prior experience in this regard.regards

Thread originally posted on 18 August 2011]Does anyone have experience with installing net express 5.1 on a windows PC (XP) that connects to a UNIX infrastructure for compiling and debugging? I can get the debugger to step thru when debugging but can't get it to run thru the program. The complier works fine. Is this because we are not connecting to a windows database or process scheduler and the application is running on windows? Any advice, comments or help would be greatly appreciated. I have tried numerous tips out on the web to no avail so I figured posing the question out on this forum couldn’t hurt... thank you.

[Migrated content. Thread originally posted on 27 August 2010]I define the MY-DATE as below in my xfd file, and I create the table in SSE2008 $XFD USE GROUP, DATE=YYYYMMDD05 MY-DATE.10 MY-YYYY PIC 9(4).10 MY-MM PIC 9(2).10 MY-DD PIC 9(2). and I give it value "2010-08-27"I would like to see them stored in SSE2008 as"2010-08-27" or say I would like to create this field as "Date" rather than "Datetime". But actually I got this value "2010-04-26 00:00:00.000" How could I solve this issue? Any ideas? I guess I should use some special parameter in this line, but I didn't see any hint on acu811 hepl document.$XFD USE GROUP, DATE=YYYYMMDD Thanks.

[Migrated content. Thread originally posted on 22 June 2010]Hello,I have a paged list-box on a small amount of data (200 or so records). We use the paged version to allow our users the ability to type in the code they're looking for and narrow down the list.The problem I am having is after the first letter is typed (the event fires and the list is moved to that letter), no other letters typed fire an event. I have logging and can see the event being fired on the first letter, but nothing else gets fired.Is there something I am missing? My list box is declared like this: 03 list-1, list-box using list-data, paged, 3-d NOTIFY-DBLCLICK line 3, col 1, size 40, lines page-size, upper, data-columns = ( 1, 7) display-columns = ( 1, 9).Thanks.

[Migrated content. Thread originally posted on 03 December 2010]Is there some control, a grid or something else like a grid, that can scroll 1 character at a time instead of snapping to each column in the grid? I have a grid with 2 columns in it and I can't physically display all of the first column on the screen I have so when you use the scroll bar it scrolls over to the next column and you always miss a little bit of data. So is there some setting that will let you scroll smoothly and partway through a column instead of 'snapping' each column to the left edge as you scroll?Maybe a list-box or a Tree-view could accomplish what I am after, anyone have any ideas?

[Migrated content. Thread originally posted on 10 June 2010]Hi, I'm experiencing a very strange issue. Background:Windows 2003 Server, MSSQL Server 2005, XODBC 8.1.0, AIX 5.3Issue/Error:OLE DB provider "MSDASQL" for linked server "(null)" returned message "[TOD][ODBC][GENESIS](pos: 133 '...A_SELECT='Y'^Y'') - syntax error". Currently, I'm only running 2 SQL statements. If I run statement 'A' first, then run 'B', 'B' will fail with this error. If I run 'B' first, it runs fine, and 'A' will run fine.If after 'B' fails, I wait for a couple of minutes, 'B' will run fine (by itself). I'm running these from SQL Enterprise Manager. The two Selects are shown below in the the order where the second one always gets the error message:SELECT a.* from OPENROWSET('MSDASQL', 'DSN=BSFUNIXk','select comnum, comnum_sub, comheading, comheading_subfrom ROOT.comheadfl

[Migrated content. Thread originally posted on 28 July 2010]I'm trying to implement the Mouse Wheel in my Paged Grids.I service the event(s) and Modify the grid field to with Action-Next or Action-Previous, and that seems to work OK.I enhanced it so the if the operator holds the Ctrl Key while wheeling, then I Modify the grid field Performing the logic 4 times. That works .... except if I really spin it, I end up getting a "Perform Stack Overflow" error. I'm guessing the Wheel Spin events are coming so fast, my grid display logic is not keeping up, and a race condition is occurring.So I try to use the EVENT-LIST along with EXCLUDE-EVENT-LIST to disable and enable the MSG-PAGED-NEXT/PREV-WHEEL events, and the "Stack overflow" errors go away, ..... but all other events associated to the grid are also disabled.Here is the coding:GRIDLKUP-EVENT-HANDLER.

[Migrated content. Thread originally posted on 22 July 2010]We have a couple of screens where we use the Msg-Validate EVENT on an entry field. The screen also has a button that the user can click to 'save' the information.In the validate event we check for valid data (I assume this is what it is for), and if the data is invalid then we give the user a message and do the following to keep the cursor in the field.SET EVENT-ACTION TO EVENT-ACTION-CONTINUE. Now the problem arises under thin client when the network is slightly slower than normal (it appears this is when it happens most anyhow). The user may have entered invalid data but instead of tabbing out of the field, they click on the save button and what seems to happen is the cmd-clicked event fires BEFORE the Msg-Validate EVENT and a mess of problems arise.Has anyone come across this before or have any idea how to circumvent or better handle this situation?
