putmess

i know putmess doesnt prompt anything ,but message should have prompted .

I used putmess just to check whether $status is less than 0 or not

message "Store error; see message frame" 

Hello, in fact, "message" just puts a message in the message area (and you can see it in its history and the bottom of Uniface window). If you want some kind of prompt, that is some interaction from user, you can use "message/error", for example (or "askmess" of course). Zdenek

This is a question about Uniface 8.4. Why post this in Uniface 9 Bugs Errors? about the [-3] in your file: are you sure you are looking at a normal log and not a proc trace?

Hi I think it is still a bug ,but if it is not i will try to move it to the section you mentioned , apology if it caused inconvenience

I am debugging in the application it self and hence i feel the [-3] should not have been displayed , I have put more elaborate logs now.

Hi

There is no wrong behavior at all :-)

(WRIT) WRIT:4 [-3] if ($status < 0)
The [-3] behind the line number shows the current value of $STATUS (if not 0)

(WRIT) WRIT:5 [-3] putmess "value is %%$status "
PUTMESS write the string to the logfile and do not prompt anything

Suggenstion:

variables
numeric v_STATUS
string v_PEC
endvariables
...
write
IF($status<0)
v_STATUS=$status
v_PEC=$procerrorcontext
call SE_ERROR(v_STATUS,v_PEC,"")
RETURN(v_STATUS)
ENDIF
...

ENTRY SE_ERROR ;(could be a global procedure)
params
numeric v_STATUS:IN ; $status will set to 0 on entering entry
string v_PEC:IN ; $procerrorcontext will set to "" on entering entry
string v_PARA:IN
endparams
variables
string v_DBERROR
endvariables
v_DBERROR=$dberror ; Save other internal values

putmess "error %%v_status%%% on writing"
putmess " PEC= '%%v_PEC%%%'"
putmess " DBERROR='%%vDBERROR%%%'"
message/error "error %%v_status%%% on writing%%^(see message frame)","Ok"
END

i know putmess doesnt prompt anything ,but message should have prompted .

I used putmess just to check whether $status is less than 0 or not .

But after that I have mentioned below statement , which seems to be executed but it doesnt propmpt on the screen.

It seems like it is not effective

message "Store error; see message frame"
