UGETAMES always returns empty String in U9, U10Author: ulrichmerkel@web.de (ulrich-merkel) just used the quiet time to transfer some old concepts to U9/U10. I found an U7 one using DDE and UGETAMES to get the complete transfered data.   Transfering it to U9/U10 the string returned by UGETAMES is always empty (while in U8, it works perfectly). Has someone encountered the same issue (and found a solution for it?).   A Happy New Year from Frankfurt/Germany, Uli

a better help for issue 31227Author: ulrichmerkel@web.de (ulrich-merkel) 31227 - Uniface does not check if recorded position of secondary window is valid  http://unifaceinfo.com/fixes/issuelist/31227.php Instead of using the big hammer as suggested as workaround: The layout can be reset by deleting the Layout State stored in the registry: 1. Open the Uniface Setup menu (in the Uniface where the problem occurs) 2. Go to the tab State 3. Check the option "Delete the current layout geometry setting on app exit" 4. Restart Uniface => Please note that this will delete the layout of all forms IMHO, it's smarter to use regedit, locate and remove the form in question under (taken from my XP box): HKEY_USERS\\...\\Software\\Compuware\\Uniface\\USYS9\\State\\D1P_STARTUP\\forms\\D1P_START2ND

Searching into multirecord or grid entityAuthor: gianni.sandigliano@unifacesolutions.com (gianni) Hi, we got a request from a customer to implement a generic search functionality on a whatever column in an entity managed either with multirecord occurrences or within a grid. We cannot use the column header to implement such generic search in both cases because header is already dedicated to sort the entity; we agreed to start this requested functionality from the panel associated to the form. We would like to implement it in a generic way without having to modify each single form... :-) The first implementation did not interact with the user but searched for a fixed string; it worked... Then a very simple form was added to enable user to type the string to be searched together with two buttons: search next    = search next occurrence containing the typed string in the selected column accept             = exit accepting c

Random -400 from PrintAuthor: knut.dybendahl@gmail.com (Knut) I've got one pc (out of a dozen or more) - the operator enters some data in Field1, leaves the field, Uniface does some processing and at the end we do a 'print printer1 A'. Once print is complete, a clear is done, and the structure editor returns to Field1. Repeat. Here's the random thing; After 10, 20, 14, 26, 28 - or whatever, the print command comes back with a -400 - and all further requests to print fails with a -400. Has anyone else seen this - and if so, how did you fix it? 9.6.04 - Win7. I should also say, in the same office, there are 6 other operators doing exacly the same thing - and none of them are experiencing this problem.... Which means it could be a https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/PEBCAK... Knut

[SOLVED] Retrieve/x and $fromdbmodAuthor: lorenzen@ahp-gmbh.de (lorenzen)  Hello there, i use retrieve/x to get specific Occurrences from DB. In the read-Trigger i set some None DB Field values. Retrieving the first Occurrence $formdbmod is 0, even $occdbmod. Retrieving next Occurence $formdbmod is 1 and $occdbmod is 0. Documentation says to $formdbmod = 1 : Field has been modified; this can be due to:    • A database field in a database entity has been modified    • An database occurrence has been added to or removed from the component    forlist lv_pkey in lv_pkeys_list   lv_pk = $concat($itemnr(1, lv_pkey), ".", lv_entity)   if (@lv_pk != "") creocc lv_entity, -1   getlistitems/occ lv_pkey, lv_entity   retrieve/x lv_entity   if ($status < 1) remoc lv_entity endfor   If i set /init switch , $formdbmod is 0, but documentation to /init says: This

Error-Log should contain a timestampAuthor: norbert.lauterbach@infraserv.com (Lauterbach) If Uniface logs an error message himself there is no timestamp. In the logfile there is only the errortext.   For example : I/O function: W, mode: 0, on file/table: ESB length: 25345 ORA-01400: Einfügen von NULL in ("BFS"."ESB"."RNR") nicht möglich ORACLE Driver Error [-37]: Write driver function failed.   If you look in the logfile of a program running on a Server you can not say if the error is actual or of yesterday.

Issue with a mix of async and sync callsAuthor: Jitender.s@hotmail.com (Infinity) Hi There In our application (we are using Uniface 9.6) we are using a service. To use this service, we are invoking operations of this service in ASYNC and SYNC mode. It basically goes like this (In the same sequence as given below)-  In an independent service (Service X)->  Create a new instance of the service (Service Y) (<= This would call Init automatically) Call Operation A of Service Y ASYNC Call Operation B of Service Y SYNC Once in a while (not all the time, this is very sporadic and happens 1 out of 20-30 times) we see that after Init, Operation B runs before Operation A and it is causing production issues for us. We are not able to identify the possible reason why this would be happening and any help in this matter is greatly appreciated. As of now we are thinking that something is messed up in the stack management of URD and we are hopeful that someone has come across this iss

xmlToStruct in memory?Author: i2stiller@gmx.de (istiller) xmlToStruct Is it possible to locate the XSD for xmlToStruct in memory? Background: We do a full validation of a XML-stream with different given XSD files. First I extract the namespace out of the XML. Then I do a lookup in database for the XSD and dump this to disk. Now I can use xmlToStruct to validate the XML against this XSD-file But, as we are now using concurrent processes,  this dumping and using of external XSD is the source of an error Two USERVER-processes can not obtain the XSD at the same time (looks like this). A workaround could be a postfix to the XSD filename, containing the process ID. Best practice would be to have the XSD in memory of each process, but how to do this? Regards Ingo

WRITE statement - How the aphanumeric value is mapped to numeric fieldAuthor: jayesh.g.patel@accenture.com (Jayesh82mscit) Hi All, In the recent time, we faced the problem in which while writing the data into database through WRITE statement, value part was behaving differently. Let me try to explain with little mockup TABLE- PolicyMaster (having 258 fields/columns) SCORE_STEP_UP (Field sequence# 254)  - Numeric field with 3 digit length CREATED_BY (Field sequence# 255) - Varchar field with 15 chars length While making a change to Uniface MODEL for one of the another entity (lets say Table#2), unknowingly the sequences of above fields (from table -PolicyMaster) got swapped. We do use the Subversion for source control though not sure if any ways to control to prevent this in future. However while navigating the application, some of the users, system was performing well but for some it wasn't. When observed the patterns and logs, it was concluded that the userid value is

[SOLVED] MSS U5.0 driver producing a CAST errorAuthor: p.lovati@pokerspa.it (PaoloLovati) Hi all, a table has its primary key defined as numeric so it has NOT NULL in the database. The key has to be filled by a db SEQUENCE, so it is left empty in the component. When the WRITE applies the MSS drivers tries to store spaces instead of NULL in the field, producing a CAST error. The ORA driver handles this correctly. It looks like a bug (BUG 29424) solved for DB2 driver...   Uniface : [MSW] 9.6.08.02, X801 SQLServer System Information : ------------------------------------------------ Driver : sqlncli11.dll 11.00.3000 ODBC Version : 03.80.0000 Driver ODBC Version : 03.80 SQLServer2 Database Information : ------------------------------------------------ DBMS name : Microsoft SQL Server DBMS Version : 11.00.3156   Thanks for any reply.
