This what I ended up doing . Created a dummy app Put the binary in the extras folder. Compiled it Zipped it Sent it by Wetransfer This seemed to work. Thanks for all the suggestions. Platypus looks interesting Thanks -pm Sent from my iPad > On 10 Apr 2017, at 15:37, James Crate via 4D_Tech <4d_t

[Off] Saying goodby to Larry Sharpe

2017-04-10 Thread Lee Hinde via 4D_Tech
Larry’s family held a send-off/wake/goodby dinner in Larry’s honor on Saturday night in Pacific Grove, CA. The 4D connection was honored with Larry’s 4D cap getting a place on the memories table. Among the things I never knew (or had forgotten) was that Larry was a track star in school. One

Good point... a parameter definitely makes sense for this command. There must be something already there internally since Find In Design and the Compiler modules can already do it. -- Jeffrey Kain jeffrey.k...@gmail.com > On Apr 10, 2017, at 12:46 PM, Drew Waddell wrote: > > I'd rather have a

We use it with 4D V15.3, there aren't any serious problems with. Not tested with V16 yet. We implemented some minor changes in the past, mostly cosmetically by the help of a trainee. We plan an overhaul of the component to adapt it better to our processes. Unfortunately the trainee isn't availab

Hi All, If you are not signed up yet for Roadshow and class and one is near you sign up. I know it is hard when a consultant to give up one or two billing days. I always view it as follows. If I get one or two nuggets that I can use within the next few months it is worth it. Needless to say I f

4D unit testing framework

2017-04-10 Thread Jeffrey Kain via 4D_Tech
Is anyone using that unit testing framework donated by Mark Schaake in v15/v16? Most of the activity in the Google Group was from 2010 with a few posts from 2014. Just wondering what the current status is with the newer versions of 4D? Thanks, Jeff

RE: 4D Server Crashes When Tracing Buggy Web Connection Code

2017-04-10 Thread Epperlein, Lutz (agendo) via 4D_Tech
To refer to the original cause of the crash ... Unfortunately the compiler doesn't find such problems (negative array index variable), this is a typical runtime problem. All what you can do is to write "defensive" code, e.g. checking the value of an index variable, using error handler, don't cha
