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?

Integer with Layout DIS(zz,zzz,zz9)Author: neill.king@travelport.com (Neill) I have a numeric field with an I4 (Integer) interface. If you enter a number with a decimal point e.g. 123.45 Uniface will truncate the field to exclude the decimal point i.e. result would be 123. Entering a number 123.78 would round i.e. result would be 124. If a layout is now applied which includes comma separators for thousands and millions when entering 123.45 you end up with 12,345 or 123.78 ends up with 12,378 i.e. the decimal point is stripped and the digits after decimal point included in the overall figure.  Is this a bug (I am using Uniface 9..3.02.01 P215) or can it be approached in a different way? Any ideas greatly appreciated.

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

XSLT TransformationAuthor: antoine.picaud@free.fr (apicaud) Gents, I have an application who use USYSXSLT to transform xml to another xml format. Under Uniface 9.3.02, I exported the sources of my application and import into a new reference and a new database (Upgrade from ORA U6.3 Ora10gR2 to U6.4 Ora11gR2). (Application Serveur HP-UX to AIX 5.3) I've generate the urr on the application server and copy the urr (also dol) on the WIN env. I launch my application and in my code, I've activate "usysxslt".... and the status is -51. Wrong signature. It's a Uniface component. The log on urr is my urr and usys.urr. Where is the error ?

Uniface 9.4: Local Proc with no parameters throws error when called with 1-n argumentsAuthor: daniel.iseli@uniface.com (diseli) People migrating to version 9.4 might encounter the following issue, which has been recognized as bug report #28722 and has been fixed with the patch R107 (and higher): Bug Report #28722: UF94: Local Proc with no parameters throws error when called with 1-n arguments Description: When in Uniface 9.4.01 a Local Proc Module with no parameters is called with one or more arguments then an error is thrown ($status = -1 and $procerror = -1122 - Wrong number of arguments), but in Uniface 8 and 9 the call returned no error. It is considered correct behavior when Uniface throws an error in the above described case. This will be the behavior in Uniface 9.5. To grant customers a grace period allowing them sufficient time to locate the invalid calls to a local proc (using the Cross Reference functionality of Unifafe 9.3 and higher) and subsequently correct the instanc

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?

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...

Problems with Datetime format in MSSAuthor: None (None)   We migrate our system from V7.2.06 to V9.4.01, everything works fine but happened we need to read an MSS table from an old application in V7.2.06. The problem appears when Uniface V7.2.06 reads a record that was created by Version 9.4.01 where the DateTime Format include the “Ticks”. In Uniface 7.2.06 field type DateTime (Combine Date and Time, shorthand E) is written to Data Base without “Ticks” but V9.4.01 write include the “Ticks” There is any way to get a compatible format DateTime between the two versions?  

Uniface 9.5 Appearence of Dropdownbox is faultyAuthor: hansjoerg.mackh@ksk-gp.de (mackh) when you use a ini file with the settings [screen] font0 = Courier New Western, 14, regular and you draw a dropdownbox on a form Example: my_list = "1=choice1;2=choice2;3=choice3" $fieldvalrep(my_dopdown) = my_list my_list =2 and you run the form, the dropdownbox shows "choice2, choice3, a blank line" , the focus is on choice2. I think this is an error. if you use the setting:   [screen] font0 = Courier New Western, 12, regular and you run the form, the dropdownbox shows "choice1,choice2, choice3" , the focus is on choice2. This is OK.    

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  

U9.3 - Scrolling with arrow keys impaired by layout templateAuthor: tatiana@ca.ibm.com (tandron) Hi all, After migrating from 7.6.2 to 9.3.2 we have the following issue when scrolling occurrences of an entity using the arrow keys (scrolling via scroll bar is OK): if cursor is placed on a field with layout (template or shorthand), scroll does not work. There are two workarounds, each with obvious drawbacks: 1) remove the layout from field definition 2) force cursor to a field without layout using $prompt in FieldGetsFocus trigger. Looks like a Uniface bug to me, but maybe I am missing something...surely someone must have encountered this...what have you done?   Thanks Tatiana  

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.

Mouse wheel moves contents of the form. (Solved R123)Author: cyz@fullsys.cz (st_cyz) Today I saw a strange behavior at customer's office. He opened a form and retrieved data. Then he clicked on some fields in two tables. When he turned the mouse wheel, whole contents of form moved down. Contents falls down and never back to top. The only workaround is to maximize and restore the form. But after turning the mouse wheel, one can see the same behavior. I tried to cleanup form layouts (left top setup menu, state tag), then I installed the latest patch P209. I also deleted the State in Windows registry. The problem still persists. We discovered this behavior only in two forms and on one particular PC (Windows XP), so it is difficult to create testset. One form is rather complex, it uses grids and split bars. The other one is very simple, but I reproduced this behavior only once (in this simple form). Is there anybody who is solving the same or similar problem? Thanks Stani

Restore $windowproperties valuesAuthor: p.lovati@pokerspa.it (PaoloLovati) Hi All, I'm not able to restore the window property BACKIMAGE to the default value (none) the window had at the moment of instantiation, after having set it up to a glyph or file using $windowproperties. With other properties, like BACKCOLOR, this operation can be done. Does anybody tried the same? Thanks. Paolo Lovati

upopmail without utfAuthor: thomas.young@young-consulting.de (Thomas.Young) Hello, we changed one system from U9202 to U9301 (P103) and now it occurs a little problem with sending e-Mails throug UPOPMAIL. With U9202 we can send e-Mails with Codepage 1251, set in $SYS_CHARSET. Now from U93 on UPOPMAIL supports UTF, but we didn't want to use it. $SYS_CHARSET is still set, but it seems to be ignored. Unfornately the documentation give not any glue, just says UTF is supported. UPOPMAIL is c-dll implemented, so normaly $sys_charset shoud work. Has anybode any hint, what we missed? Or does mean support utf othe codepage won't work anymore? Best regards Thomas From ulibary: Emails are sent to SMTP servers in UTF-8 format. The complete content, including subject and message body, are encoded as UTF-8 before being further encoded as Base64 for network transport.
