Re: push notifications in VL Web

thanks for the info so far but i'm still stuck.

i'm using chrome and brave, and occasionally firefox as my testing browser. brave isn't officially on the list (although it's running a chromium engine) so i've switched primarily to chrome

when i run the #pushManager.Query method, the .Changed ...

Re: From_File as a variable parm


Is there an equivalent "delete" function that would work with a variable parm as the from file name?
I don't see a delete_sql?


i've had mixed success with non-SELECT statements. i've done UPDATEs, INSERTs, and DELETEs but they don't always work for me. i chalk it up to something in the SQL ...

Re: Generating TXT Files with Specific Delimiters in Visual LANSA

in an RDMLX world, there is an additional option of using the #PRIM_IOC.xxx primitives. they're a little more complicated to use but they get the job done.
you can also use #XPRIM_FILE objects to do a lot of stuff.

honestly, the BIFs work just fine and are probably more familiar. but if you need ...

Re: From_File as a variable parm

not in an RDML or standard SELECT statement.

you can do this with SELECT_SQL, RDMLX only , with the USING parameter.

the upside: a heckuva lot of flexibility
the downside: repository features basically gone

for your use case (looking for record counts) it could be fairly easy:

I've been trying to get these to work on the web with no luck.

Re: ExcelService - formatting

it doesn't sound strange. kinda goes along with the quirkyness of the ExcelService

here is what i've found so far:

it seems like formatting is a once and done thing - once i applied a style, additional styles didn't do anything. i can set color on a column, but can't later set the horizontal ...

ExcelService - formatting

i've been fiddling around with the excel service and am having a heckuva time getting formatting to work.

example:

#JSMXCMD := 'ADD OBJECT(*CELLSTYLE) COLUMN(1,17) RANGE(1,1) BACKGROUND(*BLUE)'
USE BUILTIN(jsmx_command) WITH_ARGS(#JSMXHDLE1 #JSMXCMD) TO_GET(#JSMXSTS #JSMXMSG)

Re: EPC 150060 - anyone applied it yet?

interesting.

when we applied 060, a bunch of "invalid pointer" functions started coming up - usually calls from RDML to RDMLX functions.

recompiling the proc/fctns seemed to fix the issue but that's something i've never seen before.

i've been working on a web project that has a lot of dynamic pick lists. and these are really slowing things down - load times for the page are terrible.

doing a performance capture, i've isolated things down to about a half dozen that are serious bottlenecks. i've figured out a way to speed ...

Re: Reading huge JSON data in web service invocation....

this is definitely something for me to look in to. i'm only familiar with the XPRIM object (which we used when 14.2 was released).

is this something from later in the 14.2 or perhaps 15.x cycle?

do these kinds of speed improvements translate to a windoz environment? and is there a writer side ...

i was a little afraid of that re: only in memory.

SPACE_OBJECT weirdness?

getting a weird error message that in 24+ years, i've never seen:

saying something about "tree already in use. too late to use."

but the error resolves back to a DEFINE_SPACE_CELL

do space objects by any chance get stored somewhere while they are in progress? e.g., a temp folder?
