Greetings from Washington DC,
>>I got an error saying that of_retrieve() is an unknown function.<<
When using the PFC, make sure all datawindow controls on your windows are
instantiated from the u_dw PFC visual user object -- and not the datawindow
PB visual user object.
You can "Export" your problem windows and change everything that looks like
"from datawindow" to "from u_dw". Don't forget to "Import" them back...
Once you solve that, you will have additional, problems because
of_Retrieve() IS NOT the "PFC equivalent of using the non-pfc retrieve()" --
analogous but NOT equivalent. What you will find is after coding the
<<u_dw>>.of_Retrieve(); nothing will be retrieved. That is because (if you
look at pfc_u_dw you will see) of_Retrieve() just calls in turn the
pfc_Retrieve() event on u_dw. SO, you will have to code your (standard)
datawindow this.Retrieve( <<args>> ) into that event -- OR nothing
happens!!!
Your continuing problems maybe resolved by your receiving instruction in the
fundamentals. You should read this article "The PFC Way vs. The OLD Way "
by Enterprise Systems Copenhagen at http://www.es.dk/art/pfcvsold.htm.
Also, you may have other, similar, problems when you try updating; so you
should also read "
The PFC update sequence" at http://www.es.dk/art/pfcupdt.htm.

Subject: PFCSIG: of_retrieve() function
I am using PowerBuilder 6.5 with Sybase 11 on an NT workstation.
As I resolved my earlier problem with connecting to two databases, I
realized that there is an of_retrieve() function that I assume is the PFC
equivalent of using the non-pfc retrieve().... so I thought I'd try it.
The open event of my window use to say ..
ll_rows = dw_1.Retrieve()
And it worked fine. When I changed it to say...
ll_rows = dw_1.of_Retrieve()
or
ll_rows = dw_1.inv_base.of_Retrieve()
I got an error saying that of_retrieve() is an unknown function. I tried
putting
dw_1.of_SetBase(TRUE) in the script as well and still got the same error. I
figure I must be missing something simple...
Does anyone know why it isn't working?
