Correct this is RAMP.

Is there a method where instead of relying on the backend by mean of paging down and up and collecting information in a subfile, is there a method where we can collect information in a subfile directly and adding it to a list?

Is there a way to remove the error pop-up of multiple sendkey entry?

We are using RAMP to retrieve information from our backend subfile and populating it into our front-end windows grid control.

We are using *heavyusage on our function. Not sure what drawback that might have? We aren't sending huge amounts of data and at certain points we are clearing the list within the function.

Is this best practice? Sorry for all the questions, but you've been really helpful, thank you!

So currently we are using functions with lists to pass data from one reusable part to another (that being said we are passing from a reusable part to our Screen wrapper reusable part) which currently works in design, when you say "You can't use a function to pass a list from one RP to another ...

Hi Rene

Basically I am storing information into a local list, then I am passing that list to a list in a function, which we then call that function to read the information on another reusable part or form.

This code might help:

So this code assigns values into a list, then we send that data over ...

Currently we are using functions as a means of inserting data into a list in the function to reference that data from other reusable parts and forms. Just want clarity if this process is good practice or not.

Good day,

Please assist with signaling an event from a screen wrapper to a form. It does not work, but it works from a form to the screen wrapper.

for example, we are trying to set values in a text box on a form, as we get the values from the 5250 screen. We can show the values on a message box ...

Awesome, thank you so much Rene.

Is there a method we can use to pass through variables to other components (different forms/reusable parts)?

Currently, we use:
Use Builtin(SET_SESSION_VALUE) With_Args('UDEF=' #COMPCODE.AsString)

But should we later need the value in a different form and we use the get_session_value the value ...

Hi

We have a Re-usable part called POS_CONN (for connection) which has the following:

Mthroutine Name(uInitialize) Options(*REDEFINE)
* * In the command's uInitialize method routine, set the screen wrapper's uCommand property to #com_owner
Set Com(#POSCONN) uCommand(#com_owner)

Thanks Rene

I dont suppose there is a TOP or LIMIT parameter I can use to stop the SQL query once it reaches like 20 records that match the criteria?

Hi

Just wondering if someone could assist with a large database sql search that either takes incredibly long or gives an error:
Capture.PNG

How would one make the search faster? Here is my code so far:


Evtroutine Handling(#btnSearch.Click #edtSearch.Enter)
Clr_List Named(#lvSearch)
Execute ...

So to understand, we need to create a process on the LANSA IDE?

the script is running off of a reusable part (there are just a couple of test script we were running):
Begin_Com Role(*EXTENDS #VF_AC010) Height(270) Width(500)
Define_Com Class(#vf_sy122) Name(#POSCONN) Parent(#COM_OWNER) Visible(False)
Define_Com Class(#POSSRCH) Name(#POSSRCH)

Hi Rene,
Thanks for your response.

When we sign on it is empty as you said, but when we type in our company and branch code, it then gets populated with the data we want to retrieve which is information regarding our user profile. We then use the code attached previously to try and retrieve the ...

How do we go about retrieving information from an LDA on the ibmi we are referencing the information from the lansa guide:
https://docs.lansa.com/14/en/lansa015/index.htm#lansa/get_char_area.htm?Highlight=LDA

But when we do a quick message show, nothing pops up:
