I may be missing something specific to your scenario, but you can use XPRIM_HttpRequest from a Function. I have not tried on the IBM i in a batch process, but I don't see why it would not work. This is Function that makes a simple HTTP request to Google and I get the response back. function options(...

If you are trying to read the body of a request, and its JSON, you can use the PRIM_JSON_Document. Here is an example of reading POSTDATA from a request. The POSTDATA contains an array of "links". Note the APIContext seen here is a helper class that formats the proper response codes and messages. de...

Are you referring to executing from an actual Function (ie. in a Process) or just executing from a server side component? I've done it using XPRIM_HTTPRequest wrapped in a Server Side Reusable Part which is called from the Server Module. I assume the same would work inside a Function. Regarding the ...

Yeah. Same here.

Works great. Just one note, when you un-comment the code for the CheckPasswordExpiry, you will get an instant error on the #BIF_Password := #Password because the password passed into the method is a PRIM_DC.UnicodeString and the BIF_Password is char array. To fix, all you have to do is use "AsNative...

Should note that you have to edit the original post, editing the subject of a response does not change the display on the topics list.

Thanks Mark,

Had a couple issues with the designer using Layouts, however when I used your example (without layouts) it worked great.

Thanks,

Trying to find more information on how to customize the UI for the logon handler. The docs keep pointing to the source of UF_OEXEC which in turn points me to here. https://docs.lansa.com/14/en/lansa048/index.htm#lansa/lansa048_8285.htm which tells me that it must have an ancestor of VF_AC026O. Creat...

I'm having a bizarre issue in VLWEB with the PRIM_LIST when the page is scrolled. I am using the ItemClick event and what seems to be happening is that when the left mouse button is pressed, the page automatically scrolls down some. This puts the mouse on a different item then the item that was clic...

One of the key things to remember is that in the web world (VLWEB in this case) there are two different actors, the client and the server. The client runs in the user's browser and CANNOT access data directly from the server. In order to get data, it MUST call a Server Module. I mention this because...

Hi and Welcome, Do you have an idea where you are getting hung up? Have you seen the developer resources? https://developer.lansa.com/resources/ Don't hesitate to post a question here, the folks here have always been supportive and helpful. I've asked more than my fair share of questions. :D The LAN...

Hey Mark, Thanks for all the info! Just to confirm, the "IBM i User Profile Management" group box only shows up if I have VLF-WIN checked. My assumption then is that this would not work for VLF-ONE, but you are saying that the VLF-WIN setting works for VLF-ONE? Capture1.PNG Capture2.PNG Thanks, Joe

In our framework we use a custom IIP to validate the user against the IBM i. This IIP extends VF_AC027O, which we copied from the demo UF O_LOGON. This component has methods to "ChangePassword" and "CheckPasswordExpiry". In the comments of those methods, it mentions that you have to allow the passwo...

You may want to contact support with this.
The MenuBar Popup is doing the same thing to me, and the doc sample does it too.

Have not been able to find a way to stop or correct it. Joe

Try as I may, I could not find an alternative control or display mechanic to handle this that I liked. So I punted, and made my own. 8-) With a combination of PRIM_MD.Edit, PRIM_MD.List and the regular PRIM_PPNL popup, I made it work just like a standard PRIM_MD.DropDown. The only "weird" thing to f...

Thanks Danny!

Using the *RECEIVES_MESSAGES on the GetMessages method solves it. Never used those particular options before. Still have a lot to learn.

Thanks again.
Joe

Is getting a message with GET_MESSAGE scoped to the routine that issued the message? I have an insert statement as such insert fields(#EP0001F1Fields) to_file(EP0001F1) io_error(*NEXT) val_error(*NEXT) if_status is(*OKAY) #SYS_APPLN.TraceMessageData( 'CreateWorkforceLink - Link Created - Location: &...

Anyone know how to "fake" a Click event with PRIM_MD.DropDown. I have a dropdown that has a few options. #STD_TEXT := 'This Week' #STD_TEXTS := 'THIS_WEEK' #DropDownList.Items.Add value(#STD_TEXTS) caption(#STD_TEXT) #STD_TEXT := 'Last Week' #STD_TEXTS := 'LAST_WEEK' #DropDownList.Items.Add value(#S...

Hey Art, is this in VLWeb where the CSV is downloaded via a browser?
