Hi folks,
In my 4.5 application I employ a basic application logging. After
each Form program or .cmd that performs table updates, I
write one line to an ASCII file with the procedure run, date and time
stamp. If needed I read the file back into a table and generate a
report for the user to re-run those procedures after restoring
the database from backup.
For example, after running the command Bounce, I execute the
following code in my .rmd (formerly .cmd).
OUTPUT hist.bak APPEND
WRITE bounce .#DATE .#TIME h
OUTPUT SCREEN
In R:Base 4.5 the result in the hist.bak file would be:
bounce 04/21/2009 23:50:22 h
In R:Base 7.6 I am getting the following result:
WRITE bounce .#DATE .#TIME h
bounce 04/21/2009 23:50:22 h
OUTPUT SCREEN
I've scoured the command index reference for an alternative
and haven't found it. I also tried creating variables and
then changing the Write command to write a variable string
directly to the file but that didn't work for me.
Any suggestions or hints? I would prefer to keep the log
writes to a file outside of R:Base because it's a log from
the last backup forward.
TIA,
Ed
