Note from admin: please post your questions in the Uniface User ForumHi all, I see for my application migrated to uniface 10, when the [SETTINGS] portion in ASN file is assigned with $sys_charset = UTF8, some of the characters in the application does not display as it should, rather shows some garbage character. But when I replace $sys_charset with $def_charset, all characters are displayed correctly. Going through the help document to uniface 10, I did not understand the main difference between $sys_charset and $def_charset. Can anyone please help me understand this. :) ------------------------------Shubham SainiUniface Community Edition Shared AccountUS------------------------------

Hello everybody,in near future we have to switch from 32 bit uniface to 64 bit uniface (ide and runtime).So we just installed a 10.3.03.012 64 bit environment on a new machine. After some licencing trouble the runtime seem to work.But we're facing problems with the ide. It doesn't start and the logfile is stating a missing "uniface\\html\\panestrip.html".So I browsed through the 64 bit uniface setup files and figured out there's no "uniface\\html" folder inside (as it is in the 32 bit setup)I checked for example the swinuf10303012w64.exe, swinuf10303018w64.exe, swinuf100303w64.exeand even the latest 10.4 installation (swinuf10401018w64.exe)Okay... I've copied now the mentioned folder from the 32 bit installation and now I can start the ide.But... Does anybody know how the "uniface\\html" folder should be created (of course with it's content) during setup procedure? Or has it be forgotten to put into the setup?Best regards------------------------------Michael RöschAbrechnungszentrum Emm

Hi, I am facing the issue when closing the app and debugger that I got this message:  8341 Saving configuration file to disk failed. Explanation The debugger's preferences file UDBG.CNF (usually found in the working directory) could not be created or updated. --- I have it in the working folder.  Possible causes: the file has been locked by another application, or insufficient user rights to perform this action. -- how can I specify if it is locked by another app? Or wich user rights should I check? any idea how to fix this?------------------------------Jozef ProkopovicUniface Community Edition Shared AccountUS------------------------------

Uniface version 10.4.02 and higher will be built with VS2022Overview With the release of Uniface 10.4.02, Uniface is now built with the latest Microsoft Visual Studio compiler (2022). This means that Uniface products can support new technologies available in the market. For instance, Uniface can use the latest version of C++ to produce more secure and better-performing code. It is now also possible to upgrade third-party libraries with the latest technologies. This is planned for CEF, XERCES, ICU, and Scintilla. Upgrades of user 3GL can also benefit for the same reasons. Tests in the Uniface lab with VS2022 show better performance. Differences found by the Uniface lab When printing grayscale jpeg images with the postscript driver, the output looks slightly different in the gray areas of the picture, like in a cloudy sky. This is caused by the difference in floating point handling of the C-runtime that comes with the VS2022. Installation The installation will include the latest Microsof

Hi Unifacers ,We recently Patched/Updated Oracle to 19.14.0.0.220118 for some reason and now, retrieving using $date(Fieldname) has stopped working.Uniface version 9.6.06.01 (1125_1)After some investigating,  here's what we've noticed.(This retrieve has stopped working)clear/e "ent1"date_field.ent1 = $date(date_field.Ent2)Retrieve/e "ent1"error -2, ->hits 0(In debug, it generates a where clause "where  (date_field.ent1 = 11052022 00:00:00)(Work around-same data)So I moved the profile to the read trigger.read where "date_field =  '%%$date(date_field.ent2)"->hits 1happy days :)(In debug, the generated where clause  (where date_field.ent1 = '11-may-2022')Is there a patch we need to install on uniface and if so, where do I find it,or is there a setting like $NLS_DATE_UNIFACE_PARSER  (which I've tried, but no joy).Rather than work around the issue, we prefer to fix the issue. Thank you in advance for your help.Stanley ------------------------------Stanley OdukoyaSoftware EngineerRocke

Hi Everybody, we have an issue where I hope you might have a clue.We have moved our clients from local (Laptop) implementation to an RDS farm (Remote Desktop).The applications we run all work fine for almost all users, but for a few unlucky ones they fail to start and eventually come with an license issue.I know this is not the real underlying issue, it is just a result of not starting the application. From what I can see, is that for the applications that run the MAIN uniface screen is opened (uniface.exe) and kept open. for the ones that fail the uniface.exe screen actually shuts down.I have added a DEBUG to the application startup-shell and that starts up fine until it needs to open a connection (PATH), when it wants to start a form which is located on the Application Server. At that point the connection is not made, it just goes into a loop on.the normal_startup.jpg it shows the uniface 8 runtime windowthe startup_failed.jpg show the debug at the same position, however the uniface

HiToday we are working with the COM objects from within .NET (version 4.6-4.8).Since customers are reporting some performance issues (where 'starting' the COM object suddenly takes 15 seconds and longer), we wanted to explore the possibility of using ucall directly with DllImport.However, we stumble upon issues and the documentation is actually not giving any details on thisThe call is currently UnifaceVM.UECREATE(1, IntPtr.Zero, "C:\\Temp\\uniface.asn /ini=C:\\Temp\\uniface.ini", "C:\\Temp\\uniface.asn", "", "C:\\Temp", _environment)​ However, when hitting the line, the application just crashes and stops. We can't find any log written anywhere at all. So, we adjusted the call to included the /log statement, specifying a path to write the logs to. And also specify the asn with the /asn options (both should work it seems, but they don't) UnifaceVM.UECREATE(1, IntPtr.Zero, "/asn=C:\\Temp\\unifacert.asn /ini=C:\\Temp\\unifacert.ini /log=C:\\Temp\\log.txt", "C:\\Temp\\uniface.asn", "", "C:

I have a COM Class DLL I've written in VB that I wanted to communicate with via calls in Uniface (call out from Uniface to the DLL).  The only way I could get the signatures to import was to have the DLL file in the uniface\\common\\bin directory, regardless of where the DLL was originally registered on the filesystem.  Additionally, I had to use the /pid switch in order to get the DLL imported.  If I then removed the DLL from the common\\bin directory, the calls to the DLL would stop working (-150).  Is there a way I can register the DLL to the system and call out to the DLL without hard coding the path somewhere or having the DLL in the uniface\\common\\bin directory?  The DLL itself is working, I just need to understand my options for placement on the system outside of the uniface file structure, like so many other DLL's and controls.------------------------------Tim ColvinSmyth Retail Systems Inc.Alliance OH US------------------------------

the most annoying thing (for the time being) in Uniface 10?The autosave.  Lordy.  Who on earth thought that was a good idea?Do I just blow it out to 99999 to 'disable' it?  or?Regards,Knut

Is there a way to call the Windows Print Dialog box and have it return the selected printer and properties selected?In our switch to Uniface 10, we are exploring new reporting options.  Previously all printer queue selections went through our report controls, but those controls are no longer available.  I'd prefer to use native windows dialog boxes if at all possible.  All we do is select printers so we can pass them off to our reporting solution for printing.  There's nothing being directly printed in Uniface.------------------------------Tim ColvinSmyth Retail Systems Inc.Alliance OH US------------------------------

Hello,Is implicit transactions used within Uniface 10?We have performance issues and our DBA finds implicit transactions even for a select statement. But I can't find anything in de source about using implicit transactions.

Hi Unifacers, What is the smartest way to convert plain text into an HTML tagged format via ProcScript only? In our case "plain text" means a text containing any word/character from languages: Italian, French, Spanish but also from any other nation around the Mediterranean Sea: Morocco, Turkey, Greece, Slovenia, Albania, Israel, Egypt, and so on ... so I can easily say any known language except Far Eastern languages. It doesn't seem to me that Uniface has a built-in function and even Javascript requires you to build an entire document and then extract the internal body. At the moment we've built a simple Uniface function converting: - Double Carriage Return to HTML paragraph - Single Carriage Return to LineBreak - Basic HTML entities (ampersand, greaterThan, lesserThan) to corresponding codes- All Other HTML entities to corresponding codes Thanks in advance for any tip / trick / suggestion! Regards,Gianni P.S. The issue initially mentioned related to these specific listed character

Hallo,I want to transform a xml to a json structure using xmlToStruct and structToJson. The xml contains multiple occurrences of an entity. But I didn't use a /schema swith so all attributes are elements. Converting to json gives an invalid result because de struct doesn't have tags as 'array' and 'object'. With a /schema and a schemaList parameter xmlToStruct is probably able to add the required tags. Has anyone a working example of a schemaList parameter?See my example in the appendix. Or is the solution different?Greets, Johan Aalenhuis------------------------------Johan AalenhuisCrv B.V.Arnhem NL------------------------------
