I suspect that the IBM i server “gibberish” response is correct, but it is in EBCDIC format instead of ASCII/UTF-8 format.

That’s probably because the custom setting probably turns off automatic EBCDIC -> ASCII conversion as it leaves the server.

You could check this theory by returning the test ...

Also space objects are only ever stored in the memory of the process that created them.

I think the message means that you are trying to define a new space cell after you have read or written data to the space.

i.e. Once you read or write to a space you cannot subsequently try to alter the space's definition.

I think you disable the search box by setting its width to zero in the framework definition.

The message suggests some part of the property #sys_web.WebPage.style is null.
You could find out with some temporary debug code I guess.

If you don't specify desktop=, tablet= or phone= on the URL at all it should default based on the device's screen width.
I think the defaults are <= 640 is a phone, <= 1007 is a tablet, >= 1008 is a desktop device.

If you have an alternative way to make the determination you could do that by ...

All the HTTP style communications are protected by HTTPS as you indicate.

I think that all "super server" TCP/IP sockets connnections can also be encrypted since V12 (or maybe even earlier).

Could you clarify what you mean by the user clicking on an instance list column?

1. Do you mean the column heading?


2. Or do you mean on an item in the column which also causes the instance list ‘row’ (item) to become selected?

If it is the second option, then the act of selecting the instance ...

This is VLF-WIN I presume?

I think you need to call it yourself to determine whether to add the list entry.

Let me know if you need an example.

Have you tried tracing out the computed Top and Left values to see if they are within the web pages viewing area?
e.g. Negative values are acceptable and would probably make the pop up effectively invisible as it is out of the browser's viewing area.

Are you clearing (emptying) the working list each time on the client before passing it to the server to fill ?

If you have a sample of the bad data could you maybe try out using the TRANSFORM_FILE built-in function?

Note how it has an option to handle 'bad' characters - but it does not well define what they might be.

If the CSV input ...

To understand why this happens try this incorrect HTML fragment:

<div> I like use a lot of <div> tags in my HTML pages </div>

It needs to be coded as

<div> I like use a lot of &lt;div&gt; tags in my HTML pages </div>

to work.

That's why the ampersand ( & ) is &amp;

That's also why, for example, less than ( < ) and greater than ( > ) characters would be stored as &lt; and &gt;

See https://www.htmlhelp.com/reference/html40/entities/special.html for an example of some of the most common characters.

I don't think you can ...

Is the CLOB data formatted as HTML, XMLor just plain text ?

Is your GET_MESSAGE read loop in a method or in a subroutine?
If it is in a method try changing it to be a subroutine.
Methods all have their own individual message queues, which are not the same queue as the method invoker's queue.

That should be achievable (maybe) but it might take a few goes to get it right as I don't have a system to try it out on.

First, you need to put an event handler in your system IIP - your version of the shipped UF_OSYSTM reusable part.
Something like this:

This handles a user ...

Do you mean you just want to cause the business object's container pane to come to the front/top and nothing else to happen ?

Can you try:

If (#Child<'resting'> *isnot *null)

Also, each reference to #Child<'resting'> causes a lookup of the parsed JSON tree, so it might be quicker to execute using something like:

#TempRefererence <= #Child<'resting'>

Then use #TempReference instead of multiple #Child<'resting ...

There seem to be lots of RPG program examples on the web for writing BLOB and CLOB data.
