How to read occurence from 3GL ?Author: kevin.palm@labsolution.lu (palm.kevin) Hi all, I desperately am looking for a way to read all fields of an occurrence painted in my entity. Basically I would like to have a "getlistitems/occ" but in my 3GL code... (C) In the Uniface documentation I found the method ugget but it seems that this method only works on database fields... (This is not mentionned in the documentation but I discovered this behavior) Does anybody know how to achieve the wanted behavior: Read from C all painted fields of an occurrence independently if the field is a database or non-database-field (regardless if DB- or dummy-entity) Thanks  

Activating SSP ignores subtransactions?Author: zdenek.socha@fullsys.cz (sochaz) Hello, just very short description of our problem: Uniface 9.3.02.01 (P213 0715_1), Oracle 10.2.0.4.0. We need to execute Oracle stored procedure, which performs implicit commit. But we need our original transaction not to be affected by this. It seems quite easy to use subtransactions in Uniface. So I created a brand new service, make newinstance with TRANSACTION property set to TRUE, open new paths etc. All my DB work is just fine, I have more separate connections, can store data in that service and does not affect transactions on my original connection (that is in parent component of my service). Unfortunately, as soon as I activate my Oracle prcedure, which is defined in the signature editor as "Stored Procedure Component (Default)", it seems to be activated on my original path - even though I activate it in the service, which should have his own connections (own transactions). Since

$fieldname return PROCERR[<UPROCERR_FIELD>]Author: marco.aquino@dedalus.eu (Marco) Hi, I found this error that in U8 did not appear. The value of $fieldname return PROCERR[<UPROCERR_FIELD>] instead of name of field. This appear when a setocc on other entities is performed. Then if a new test on it like if (@ $ fieldname! = "") or assignment @$fieldname=$$VAR crashes Uniface. Example like this Detail trigger on a field: call lf_proc if (@$fieldname="")    return -1 end if return 0   the entry proc: entry lf_proc    setocc "ent",1    while($status > 0)       ...something...    endwhile end The $fieldname change value  after a setocc instruction and the uniface crashes on "if" statement or at the end of trigger if I used an assignment.   Windows XP or Windows server 2003 R2 32bit Uniface ver

Decoding encrypted dataAuthor: cdouglass@siriussoftware.com.au (Colin)     Hi, I am having problems decoding data that has been encoded using the uniface proc code $encode. I am trying to use a secure format like "AES" using "CBC" as is described in the uniface documentation, but I keep getting an error when trying to read the data back and decode it. $procerrorcontext="ERROR=-1791;MNEM=<UENCERR_GENERAL>;DESCRIPTION=Encode/decode general error;COMPONENT=CDMNTDEB;PROCNAME=21\\DECR;TRIGGER=DECR;LINE=2;ADDITIONAL=StreamTransformationFilter: ciphertext length is not a multiple of block size" The documentation has this ; Create an initialization vector. vIv = $datim ; Encrypt the source data by AES in CBC mode. vEnc = $encode("AES", vSource, vKey, "CBC", vIv) ; Decrypt the encrypted data. ; DECRYPT must be the same as SOURCE. vDecrypt = $decode("AES", vEnc, vKey, &qu

Avoiding empty tags in structtoxmlAuthor: tneeskens@itblockz.nl (Theo Neeskens) Hi, I have a situation where I need to: - retrieve lots of related data in a Uniface service - create a struct using componenttostruct - create XML using structtoxml - dump the XML as a file on disk    It works fine so far, but I do not want empty XML tags in the output. - Is there a way to specify a switch on componenttostruct so I do not get the empty fields in the struct? - Is there a way to specify a switch on structtoxml so I do not get the empty fields in the XML?   NB: It needs to be fast, and the code needs to be kept extremely simple, so the answer "just iterate over the struct and remove them yourself" is not the answer that I am hoping for...

spawn on newer windows OS.Author: i.sharp@pcisystems.co.uk (Iain Sharp) Has anyone else had issues with spawn "#oscommand" on newer windows OS (Windows 7, Windows server 2008) We appear to be getting failures on trying to execute commands which work correctly from the command line for the same user. In one case I was able to successfully replace the spawn with an activate on an OS Command signature SVC.Commandout(oscommand,results) but in the other case I need the program to be run interactively, and whilst is successfully runs from the activate, interactive responses cause the system to lock up. I cannot debug on the machine with the problem (the debugger crashes). We are going to uninstall and re-install uniface and our App from the windows 7 machine, and see if that helps, but if anyone has any experience of permissions or group policies which need to be set, that would be lovely.

DLM Distributed License Management Feature Definitions - WindowsAuthor: maciokr@natfuel.com (RobM) Is there a cross reference that shows the feature name related to the DLM feature? For example: UWN1 = ? UWN3 = ? UWN4 = ? UWV1 = ?   Also, what is the best method to determine the user/server OS within Uniface?

Uniface Structs: hurdle 1Author: gianni.sandigliano@unifacesolutions.com (gianni) I have had a light education on Uniface structs and, since first time I've heard about it, I always looked for an occasion to dedicate to them some deep learning time. Now I need to write a very simple Uniface application to: - Load a received XML from disk - Recognize few specific TAG(S) and get their (sub)value(s) - Write those values into some RDBMS tables - Delete each recognized TAG with its (sub)value(s) - Dump a new XML without those recognized and deleted TAG(S) Because those tags data I should managed are data valid only INTERNALLY at the user company, it is NOT my task to verify a full XML consistency, so for me: - No validation - No verification I am only interested to receive a loadable XML! It's time to test using Uniface struct in a real usecase. ========== ========== ========== ========== First hurdle: a very simple instruction: xmltostruct/full vStruct, "XMLToTestStruct.xml" wh

Delete Menu?Author: juerg.fross@teamspirit.ch (jfro) We are migrating to Uniface 9.4.01. On this occasion I discovered menus which are not used anymore. I would like to delete these menus but cannot find how to do this. - It seems I am not able to delete this menus. By using "Editors" "Library" "Menus" I can delete Items of these menus in using the "Delete"-button. But the Menu itself I cannot. - When I press ">>" in the Details of an Item of my menus I discovered additional Drop-down Menus which are not used anymore for a long time. Here I didn't find any way as well to delete these. Can somebody help me with these two problems? Thanks a lot! Jürg      

Uniface 9.3 Access key not working like it used to in Uniface 7.2Author: tatiana@ca.ibm.com (tandron) Hi, We have migrated our application from U7 to U9 and have this pesky problem with one of the forms: ALT+R (which used to start the logic to execute what we call "Retrieve form action", now has no effect. But this only happens when we first open first another , exit it and then open this one. The two forms are unrelated, both are called from athe same "'home" form, which has buttons to call a number of forms. Further more, the French version of the form, which uses ALT+T for the same retrieve form action, opens the Text menu instead. I've been able to circumvent the issue by changing the underlined letters (access keys) in the label, but I don't understand why the problem is happening (no conflict with other access keys, cursor in unifield fields - none of the knows causes seem to apply). Any insight much appreciated.

Interface to ELSTERAuthor: i2stiller@gmx.de (istiller) Hi freaks We have to implement a interface to the german tax office software "ELSTER". Does anyone allready did this? If yes, with or without a wrapper around the ELSTER API? I'm trying to avoid another software between our software and ELSTER. ELSTER does provide  "simple" C/C++ API but some of the parameters a C-structs and handles My question is, how to implement this by pure UnifAce? Every marketing guy from UnifAce allways tell us, how easy it is to use UnifAce, so there must be a simple solution in UnifAce :-) Ingo

RadioGroup and VALC and $promptAuthor: sam_kester@kindermorgan.com (Samuel Kester) Pick a form to use for testing (does not need to be new) Paint an EditBox / numeric field: NUMFLD1 Paint a RadioGroup: RADGRP1 with two options Y = %Yes, N = %No in <VALC> trigger of RADGRP1 enter: if (RADGRP1 = "Y")     NUMFLD1 = ""     $prompt = NUMFLD1 endif Activate the form, navigate to the RADGRP1 field and type "y". If it works like my test you will notice that the "y" is placed in the numeric field. Note1: this does not happen on a UniField (only EditBox) Note2: this is true in both 9.4 and 8.4.6

msvcr80.dllAuthor: andrew.young@equiniti-ics.com (Andrew Young) We have recently upgraded our Uniface application software which resides on a Windows 2008 64 bit virtual server. We have not made any changes to the Uniface installation (Uniface9.3.02.01 (P202 0720_1)). Occasionally we are getting the following error in the Event Viewer when the application starts: Faulting application uniface.exe, version 9.3.2.202, time stamp 0x4a64a17c, faulting module MSVCR80.dll, version 8.0.50727.4016, time stamp 0x49cc5361, exception code 0xc0000005, fault offset 0x000173c6, process id 0xf68, application start time 0x01cd1e40896fd9b6. This results in a 'Uniface 9 encountered an error and needed to close' style error and our users cannot access the application. If we set $ioprint = 63 in the application asn file, this cuts down on the frequency of the errors but slows the application performance. We are not experincing the same problem on Windows 2003 32 bit servers.

Debugger: "Watches" "Locals" not visibleAuthor: juerg.fross@teamspirit.ch (jfro) Hello I am using Uniface 9.4.01 on Windows 7. Until yesterday I had in using DEBUGGER a window splitted in 3 parts: Component (top) Watches (left down) Locals (right down) Maybe I did some manipulation - unfortunately I don't know what. However since yesterday only the "component-window" is visible. My collegues also working with the same environment still see the 3 parts. So it seems to be some "local" change which only concerns me... Has somebody a solution? Greetings Jürg

Renaming elements in XML outputAuthor: tneeskens@itblockz.nl (Theo Neeskens) Hi, I have a situation where I need to: – retrieve lots of related data in a Uniface service – create a struct using componenttostruct – create XML using structtoxml – dump the XML as a file on disk    It works fine so far, but I need to rename some of the XML tags. Lets say that in Uniface I have a field CUSTNR and my XML tag should be CUSTOMERNUMBER. I have read the documentation a couple of times and I now think it is possible with structtoxml/schema. But since I havent used XSD for output before, I am unsure. Am I on the right track? Can somebody explain in plain English what I need to do?

Underline for UnifieldsAuthor: satheesh.balu.m@gmail.com (Satheesh) Hi, According to the ini file the underline is "on" for my application and the unifield which I used in GUI is defined with the layout of NIN,UND. I get the underline in the GUI. But actually I don't want this underline to be visible in my GUI. I expect this field property should be overridden however and the field should visible without underline. I checked with other users and the underline is not visible for them. It seems underline is visible only with my profile. Does any one know how to avoid the underline? I know it is possible to avoid the underline by defining NIN,NUN. But I don't want to use this. Because unifields are used in many places and moreover this is the issue only for me (only with my system login). Thanks, Satheesh
