Danny, If you have a blob and display it like this...

+1 on arrays could be useful in spreadsheet applications, or applications where you want to access things 1 cell at a time...you can of course emulate this, but it is cumbersome to build the abstraction yourself unlike a working list which is fixed in width an array should be able to add rows and or...

Danny, I could have sworn you could change variables in web, but probably just bad memory and/or experimental tip build feature that was scrapped. You did a nice explanation of the different things shown in the variables panel. So my idea was to toggle some of those on and off at will so I don't hav...

I can confirm, with EPC142040 if you have either of a) Long Named defined fields b) Long Named defined Classes (like a field you drag on a screen) c) Method Routine variables they show up as a regular single level field value in the debugger, although things like c will have an expansion arrow next ...

You can override a repository field in a lot of ways. One thing you can not do is use an Edit Word against a field if it already has and Edit Code. If you try to use override to assign an EditWord in a specific context for a field which already has and Edit Code assigned the editor tells you the fol...

Enhancement Request: Create an option to allow someone to sign into the IDE and NOT to use a license. Why? Companies might have Business Analysts or QA people who do not code but do look at the code to do their jobs. The current licensing model ignores that these people might exist. There ARE SOME W...

I suspect this is because the define com is simply inheriting the field type and not the edit code attached to the field. How are you determining what the field is? Debug? Or are you sending both fields back and viewing the json output? Or are you going by what is showing up on a screen in the brows...

Confirmed by LPC Support that the Layout Helper has been deprecated. The LayoutManager dialog was removed in favor of the Layout Ribbon as we could no longer justify the confusion in documentation or the duplication of effort in maintenance. Also new features like variable sizing and Table Layout we...

If someone answers your post and it solves the issue can you Edit the post Subject to look like this please? Original Title or Question Here (solved) Why? So people answering questions can more easily tell which questions have been solved or not so they know where to spend their time without actuall...

Try deleting this file <install folder>/LANSA/x_env2013VL.txt Then run this <install folder>/LANSA/x_GetEnv.Bat See if that fixes anything. Windows upgrade sometimes cause the problem with the registry where you get the data initialization error and you can't even open the IDE...but in this case you...

When doing windows development, there was an item in the Views Menu called layout helper.

It appears to be missing from the Tabs Menu (Views Menu is now called Tabs Menu).

Does anyone know what happened to it.

Thanks,
Paul

Is this VLF-WIN (client server) or VLF-ONE (Web)? [So how do these objects play with each other? ] I would read the VLF Guide ... it sounds like you are struggling with basic concepts. It reads from beginning to end building upon concepts like business object, filter, etc... [a simple inquiry screen...

Fromm603, LANSA is huge...there are lot of paradigms/products These are how marketing people think about it, in terms of what it can accomplish https://www.lansa.com/products/ I prefer to think about it in terms of platform...what it runs on and what architecture it embodies 5250/client server/WEB/M...

This question is for the dev team. 1. There is no valid or error icon built in. You CAN yes the prompt icon for this, and this works fine unless you want to have a prompt and an error icon at the same time. 2. Validation integration using #com_onwer.validate is nice but all rules can not be simple r...

Mark,

Doh! I knew this existed, but had forgotten.

Thanks,
Paul

An ISV has many customers and one of them does not like the fact that the VLF-WIN login form says "Change IBM i password". Now ordinarily you would just change this, but the source code for this is not shipped. In VLF-WIN there is a multi-lingual for this, but it is burned in at compile time, so you...

This link shows how to turn on low level tracing in the LongRange LANSA product. https://www.longrangemobile.com/docs/lansa/lr%20lansa%20programming/#!errorcollectionforlansafortheweb.htm It instructs to modify the DC@LWEB data area directly. Change dtaarea DC@LWEB Position 885 -> ‘Y’ Position 886 -...

These are the modifiers for rewrite rules on Apache on IBMi. NC = not case sensitive PT = pass thru R = redirect L = Last N = Next Instead of this...

Joe, The corruption is because the command is getting confused by the nested parenthesis. See this from the doco.. http://docs.lansa.com/14/en/lansa093/index.htm#lansa/intb5_0030.htm?Highlight=escaping So a simple command #JSMCMD := 'SEARCH DN(o=ibmteldir) FILTER(objectclass=person) SCOPE(*SUB) SERV...

Thanks all for the responses.

Conclusions:

1. Dynamically getting the value of an arbitrary multi-lingual variable at run time is not possible.

2. An approach like the VLF is using will work to solve the problem.
