Visual LANSA Forum

Waiting 30+ days for a response from LANSA R&D seems excessive. Perhaps you can raise the priority on this, to get a response from LANSA?

Please increase the number of OS/400 allowed commands in a LANSA export list from the current limit of just 31 commands to 9999. When building cumulative export list builds, we often have 300+ commands needed for execution. Hopefully, this will be an easy one to implement and will save us from ...

Unfortunately, that's not a list of Intrinsic functions but a list of Visual LANSA Component classes e.g. search for intrinsic AsUnicodeString, what do you get as your search results? Or simply try searching for "unicode" to see what unicode intrinsics are available in LANSA. Do you see anything ...

This whole area of LANSA intrinsic functions is there from the initial days of RDMLX and is not well documented.

If anyone from LANSA is taking note, please do the following:
1. List all available LANSA intrinsics in one page (for good search results).
2. Document each intrinsic with good (usable ...

Good news: We received a fix from LANSA for this issue. Our V15 VCS installation IDE now has an option to suppress the Crude Element Complexity error and proceed with the compile.

Looks like this is a problem in LANSA V15 VCS installations, where the abovementioned option to suppress the Crude Element Complexity warnings is missing i.e. there is no way to suppress this fatal error message that stops objects from compiling. I have already been in touch with LANSA Support and ...

Has anyone faced an issue where Reusable Parts that compile just fine in LANSA V13SP2 and V14SP2 now fail to compile in V15 (latest EPC level) with a Crude Complexity Fatal error? I'm facing this issue (with a handful of components) in a new V15 environment that I set up for upgrading to V15 ...

I'd like to see a better "Text Search" implementation in the IDE, where one could search for multiple keywords. Currently only one search string is allowed.

e.g. we could search in Function/Forms/Reusable Parts for:
<Field Name> *AND <filename>
<Field Name> *OR <filename>
((<Field Name> *AND ...

Hi David,

You can download the install file from here: https://www.nuget.org/packages/Microsoft.Web.WebView2
Use Package Manager to install this: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/window ... er/winget/

Thanks Theo, this will be useful for us going forwards. Hopefully LANSA monitors this forum and will consider all the enhancements that we discuss and propose in here.

Save whatever you want as a .csv file and excel will already be associated as the default application to that file format?
Then use OV_SYSTEM_SERVICE to start the application you need.

Hi Guys, I was wondering if there was a way to audit when an import is run within a VL partition? Say I create a QuickExport from Partition DEM and then import it into Partition DEX. Is there a way I can check:

1. When was this import run?
2. Who ran the import?
3. What objects were imported?
4 ...

By introducing a CL program, I lose easy visibility of these commands i.e. I now have to maintain a separate CL program for all my commands. Anyway, I hope LANSA can remove this limitation, seems to be an odd one for this day and age, perhaps it made sense in the 1990's? I was able to work around ...

I'm building an IBMi export list with around 1500 objects (mix of Files, Functions, Forms, RP's) and needed to add around 100 Before and After commands into my Export list. It was all just fine until I entered the 30th command. After that, it won't let me add any more commands! It that a limitation ...

I was wondering if anyone else have has experienced issues with the LANSA documentation website search? I searched for SET_SESSION_VALUE today and got a single result back with a page in Japanese. Next I searched for AsString and got irrelevant results? I am beginning to miss the old .chm files.

Hi Guys, is there a command line option to execute a Deliver-To for delivery to IBMi server in LANSA V15 or V14? I'd like to automate object deliveries and am looking for a way to deliver to an IBMi via a script. I see this option documented here, but there's no mention of a command line option ...

I second what Theo stated. I've setup a V15 environment with the latest EPC's and loaded a large (>50K) object repository and submitted large compile sets (over 1000 compiles per et) and it's been rock solid. All the compiles completed as expected on a single IDE session that ran over the weekend ...

Thanks Guys, I have also resorted to scrolling through source code very gently to avoid the IDE crash for now. After each scroll, I wait for the CPU usage to settle down before the next scroll. It is frustrating, but at least I have a workaround.

Interesting to note that there is a CPU usage spike ...

Using V14SP2 EPC142040, in a Network Client install. When scrolling through source code aggressively, the IDE crashes with a LANSA.DMP error. Anyone else experience the same issue in LANSA V14SP2?

Already logged this with LANSA Support, will let you know what comes of it. This issue comes up when opening the Report Function in the VL IDE, that's using the #DATE field in the DEF_HEAD definition. If you want to test, create a simple function in VL V14SP2, that uses the #DATE field in a DEF_HEAD ...
