[RBASE-L] - RBG11 | Enhanced DB Grid | Cell Entry Fail

[Bruce Chitiea]

Might be the cold pills. Dunno.

Issue: A Grid cell will allow key press, but will neither accept nor 
display typed data. Cell cursor does not move.


(1) 3-Column Enhanced DB Grid (EDBG), correctly displays TEXT data from 
a temp table in read-only columns #0, #1.


(2) I need to enter CURR data in the verified-editable, blank cells of 
item_amount column #2.


(3) All cursor navigation keys are active [ Arrows | Tab | Enter ]

(4) Properties Editing, Show Editor Checked

(5) There are no Column #2 configurations beyond Width and Clickable 
Title.


(6) Issue.

Thoughts?  and thanks,
bruce

Re: [RBASE-L] - Version 11 | Sorting

[Bruce Chitiea]

Steve: If you're gathering slave table data with a SELECT statement 
within an EEP's code, you can likely use:


SELECT t1.whatever, t2.entryDate +
FROM masterTable t1, slaveTable t2 +
WHERE t2.someColumn = t1.someColumn +
ORDER BY t2.entryDate DESC

Hope that helps.

Happy 4th!, Bruce

Subject [RBASE-L] - Version 11

I’m not happy with the sorting of a slave table’s data in one of my 
forms. It naturally wants to sort ascending by the date it was entered. 
 But I would prefer it to sort descending (from newest to oldest). What 
are my options for doing this?




Thanks!

Re[2]: [EXTERNAL] Re: [RBASE-L] - restricting a db edit to certain characters

[Bruce Chitiea]

Dan:

I'm reading you to mean that the dash character is the only 
non-alphanumeric you want the dbEdit to accept (e.g. no '#', '%' etc.); 
and that the dash character is not necessarily present.


In mask terms, this suggests a mask with a string of 'c' (arbitrary 
characters permitted, but not required) spanning the width of the 
column, capable of accepting ANY character in ANY position and ANY total 
character count. There appears to be no ability WITHIN the mask to 
weed-out all non-alphanumerics besides the dash. There's always the 
approach of putting a validation routine in the On Exit EEP which 
converts any non-dash to a dash, but this introduces an opportunity for 
damage if the operator mistakenly enters, say, an underscore, in a 
position intended for an alphanumeric.


If your users are hitting a column of existing part numbers, how about 
substituting a DBLookupComboBox with a type-ahead in place of the 
DBEdit? All entry issues solved. In your distributed environment, this 
could always be initialized as a per-user temp table for performance 
purposes. On the other hand, if this is about a new entry into the 
column ... more thought required.


Has the Great Mojave heated up yet?

Best, Bruce

It is a single text field that will only accept A-Z, a-z, 0-9, or dash 
character. It can vary in length.




So it can be

123A-1

23a

35a33

Etc

In the dbEdit control Properties, on the Effects tab, have you beat on 
the "Input Format Mask"?




But questions:



- Are you looking to restrict entry of certain characters [e.g. 'A' but 
not 'a' | 'Aa'-'Yy' but not 'Zz' | 0-8 but not 9 ]?


- Are you looking to enter numbers, letters and dash(-) all within the 
same dbEdit control, or separate controls?


- Do you mean numbers of INTEGER datatype, or ALPHANUMERIC digits?

- Are you looking to combine numbers of INTEGER datatype with ALPHA 
text?

Re[4]: [RBASE-L] - Disappearing RStyle error list

[Bruce Chitiea]

Within RBEdit ten-five and eleven, see "View" on the top-of-screen 
command line. Is "Error Messages" checked? On both versions, that 
toggles the Error Messages window at the bottom of the screen on/off. Is 
that it?

Subject [RBASE-L] - Disappearing RStyle error list

This happens to me on and off.  I RStyle something, it'll report the 
errors, but I don't get the box that explains what each error is.  I do 
get the highlighted rows, so I can sorta see where the errors are, but 
I need the explanation sometimes.


I've looked and can't find a setting to turn this back on, and I don't 
see any gutters that I can grab and expand, in case I had accidentally 
closed the space up.


Anyone have a clue for me?

[RBASE-L] - Still an Ampersand Variable Crash Test Dummy

[Bruce Chitiea]

All:
RGB11

An automated SELECT statement assembly routine produces the variable:

v006_select_statement

... from multiple variable segments, which contains a single, 
no-line-break string such as:


SELECT _columnList  INTO v006a_hsldOrder_1 INDICATOR vind1,  
v006a_titleCode_1 INDICATOR vind2,  v006a_firstName_1 INDICATOR vind3,  
v006a_firstInitial_1 INDICATOR vind4,  v006a_familiarName_1 INDICATOR 
vind5,  v006a_middleInitial_1 INDICATOR vind6,  v006a_middleName_1 
INDICATOR vind7,  v006a_lastName_1 INDICATOR vind8,  v006a_nickName_1 
INDICATOR vind9,  v006a_genCode_1 INDICATOR vind10,  v006a_degCode_1 
INDICATOR vind11   FROM _sourceTable  WHERE _sourceTable_key = 
.v006_personID


When run at the R> Prompt, all variables resolve correctly, every time.

But, running within an EEP as:

_select_statement

... produces:

-ERROR- Syntax is incorrect for the command SELECT (2045)

What might I be missing here?

Re: [RBASE-L] - Concatenation in an update statement

[Bruce Chitiea]

Just a quick shot. IF ... IF there's only one  in field1, the 
SSUBCD function can see it as the "custom delimiter":


SET VAR vfield_1_entire TEXT = 'Smith a.4503'
SET VAR vfield_1_last4 TEXT = (SSUBCD(.vfield_1_entire,2,'.'))

Result:
SHOW VAR vfield_1_last4 = 4503

The length of the field after the  is not an issue, so long as 
there's only one period, and, the unit number you want is the only item 
after the period. There are other functions available to help you focus 
down if these qualifications don't hold up.


Next, if you always use "UNIT", you could modify the above to be:

SET VAR vfield_1_last4 TEXT = ('UNIT' & (SSUBCD(.vfield_1_entire,2,'.')) 
)


Result:

SHOW VAR vfield_1_last4 = UNIT 4503

"UNIT" might be presented in variable form if there are other 
descriptors involved e.g. "Floor", "Suite", etc.


Concatentation is a simple matter of throwing them together:

SET VAR vfield_2_raw TEXT = '13566 Jones Road'
SET VAR vfield_2_complete = (.vfield_2_raw & .vfield_1_last4)

SHOW VAR vfield_2_complete = 13566 Jones Road UNIT 4503

Gotta run, sorry to leave you hanging, but someone will pick it up.

Subject [RBASE-L] - Concatenation in an update statement


Good afternoon everyone:

I am working with Myron at the Sun City West Posse in Sun City West, 
Arizona. I am trying to update a field in my table using that field and 
concatenating something to it.


In Excel, it would look like this:

Field 1  Field 2

Smith a.4503  13566 Jones Road  13566 Jones Road UNIT 4503

 concatenate(field 2," UNIT ",right(Field 1),4)
UPDATE tableName
set field2 =  (Code needed here)
Where


I am trying to add the text field 'UNIT' and the last 4 positions of 
Field 1 to the existing field 2 in the existing table. I couldn't find 
a concatenation function or a function capable
of grabbing the last 4 characters of another field. Is there a way that 
this is possible?


Thanks,
Larry Haas

Subject Re: [RBASE-L] - Disappearing text - an interesting discovery



Not a solution to my problem, but we did "discover" the command  SET 
REFRESH [x]


The help description:

SET REFRESH specifies how often R:BASE refreshes the form or the Data 
Browser, and displays current data. It also automatically recalculates 
lower tables in forms. Specify zero to turn the setting off. When 
REFRESH is set off, R:BASE tells you of edits when you save or delete 
a row.



So this is like the "auto save" that we've been talking about.
The default is 0, and I checked all the programs and forms and we 
don't set or change it.  I checked the value going in to the form and 
it is at 0.  I put a 'set refresh 0' before bringing up the form, just 
in case, and it still disappears

the value.  But a "landing spot" isn't going to help here because if 
the user is taking a long time to type in the big memo field, it 
will blank out the field as the person is typing.   It isn't based 
on inactivity.  That's why they type outside RBase and copy it into

So -- is there an "auto save" somewhere?  Either a form setting or a

The fact it happens after 30 seconds would appear to indicate there 
might be a timer that refreshes the form every 30 seconds, and if the 
variable has not been saved it might reset it to the original, 
unchanged value.
In the old days we used to place a dummy field behind the last 
variable to provide a landing spot as was mentioned.
If the form is doing an auto save, there is a system variable you can 
check to see if there are pending changes and stop the save and 
return to the variable field with a message.

Another thought..If you are using just variables on a form, the

this all the time with variable forms, set up a dummy variable field,

1.  Form is based on a table brought up with "edit using" on just

2.  In addition to table fields I have a variable edit and a 
variable memo.  Both variables are initialized to null on the

Whether you are on the text edit or the memo edit, they will

 Not just at end of day, after another heavy process, etc.

Because they often type long notes into that memo field, and they

My off-the-cuff reply involved assigning the value of your on-before

exit from the variable edit control and a RECALC VARS to make the

Re: [RBASE-L] - Disappearing text

What happens if you define the variables as Form Variables?

Subject [RBASE-L] - Disappearing text

Version 10.5.  Client says this happens in a couple forms, but was 
sporadic.  Finally there's a form where the issue is easy to replicate 
so I have something to work on.


Issue: if you type something in a variable edit field and are just 
sitting in that field, if you wait about 30 seconds the text will 
disappear.  The value of the variable is truly null when you exit the 
form.


Specifics:

1.  Form is based on a table brought up with "edit using" on just one 
row of data.  No processing is done before the form is brought up.  
Literally one line of code in the main menu option.


2.  In addition to table fields I have a variable edit and a variable 
memo.  Both variables are initialized to null on the form's 
before-start EEP, one is text type and one is note type.


3.  The disappearing happens on both of the variable fields.  Whether 
you are on the text edit or the memo edit, they will disappear.  Only 
the one you are on will disappear; if you had entered data in the other 
variable it sticks around.


4.  Entering text into a DB Edit field and sitting on that field will 
not disappear.


5.  Doesn't seem to be a case of memory build-up.  If you go into the 
application and this is the first thing you do, it will happen.  Not 
just at end of day, after another heavy process, etc.



Weird, huh?  But I can replicate it every time on this one particular 
form


Because they often type long notes into that memo field, and they 
aren't fast typists, they have been typing the notes in Word and then 
copy/paste into the field and move off the field asap.

Bound form.



Is it possible to access a value just entered into a DB control for 
processing, BEFORE the record being entered is saved to the table?




For instance, once a date value is selected from a DB Date Time Edit 
control, how might one grab the year to a variable within the control's 
On Exit EEP like:




SET VAR vYear = (IYR4(selectedDate)) {for use in constructing a 
down-stream value }




I mean, the selectedDate value hasn't yet been entered to a table ... 
and it's not a variable, so ... what would I target?




Thanks much

Re[6]: [RBASE-L] - Forms | Accessing a DBcontrol value BEFORE it is saved. | Fail

[Bruce Chitiea]

Karen: Thank you. I had hoped that my example would show the results of 
the two approaches to GETPROPERTY, as I understand them. "Open", meaning 
the GETPROPERTY standalone, "func" meaning the GETPROPERTY function 
approach. Each approach relied upon variables created within the On 
Before Design and On Before Start EEPs, anticipating that the DB Date 
and Time Edit (dbDTE) control does, in fact, have a TEXTVALUE property. 
Each of these was then targeted in the On Exit EEP of the dbDTE control, 
the output being shown in Variable Labels, as shown in the sample form 
below. Put them together:


The "Open" approach:
SET VAR vtest_open_TEXTVALUE TEXT = NULL
GETPROPERTY cid_dbdte_eventDate TEXTVALUE 'vtest_open_TEXTVALUE'

... which mirrors your recommended syntax, and:

The "Func" approach:
SET VAR vtest_func_TEXTVALUE TEXT = NULL
SET VAR vtest_func_TEXTVALUE = 
(GETPROPERTY('cid_dbdte_eventDate','TEXTVALUE'))


... which follows the example within R:SYNTAX.


Note that no error is thrown by either syntax. It is possible that 
TEXTVALUE does not exist as a property within the dbDTE control. R:Docs 
displays neither VALUE nor TEXTVALUE.


'Tis a mystery. I'll try it with TEXT.

Always appreciate your help, Karen.

Your syntax for 'SET VAR vtest_func_textvalue' is incorrect.  That will 
never work.  You don't use "set var" with a "getproperty"


I use the getproperty often and don't have an issue.  Brought up one of 
my apps and I see that I've done it a couple different ways and 
apparently both of them work!  But I don't think I've ever used on a 
date/time edit



SET VAR fTOldQty TEXT = NULL
GETPROPERTY units TEXT 'fTOldQty'


SET VAR vText TEXT = NULL
GETPROPERTY NoUnitsSell TEXTVALUE vText

Consider using the GETPROPERTY command to capture the control's

Subject: [RBASE-L] - variable gauges



Hi I am playing with variable gauges for the first time and they are 
pretty cool. The only thing I have not figured out is how to only have 
the major tick labels to be integers.




In this example I have 31 as the max and 0 as the min.  as you can see 
the middle one is 15.5







Is there a way to only display integers on the labels?

Re[2]: [EXTERNAL] Re: [RBASE-L] - variable gauge set max value

[Bruce Chitiea]

Dan:

Just spitballin' here:

Perhaps variable veshipnum needs pre-formatting to provide the quoted 
PROPERTY syntax:


SET VAR vapos TEXT = 
SET VAR vgaugeParam TEXT = (.vapos + (CTXT(.veshipnum)) + .vapos)

... alternately:

SET VAR vgaugeParam TEXT = ( (CHAR(039)) + (CTXT(.veshipnum)) + 
(CHAR(039)) )


... then:

PROPERTY cvgshipped 'SCALES[1]->OPTIONSVIEW->MAXVALUE' .vgaugeParam

(I'm presuming here that veshipnum is a DOUBLE datatype, any rounding 
not shown.)


Hope that helps, Bruce

Subject: [RBASE-L] - variable gauge set max value

Using 10.5 latest



I have a variable gauge that the max value will need to be set 
dynamically.




I think I found the correct rdocs reference:



PROPERTY  'SCALES[n]->OPTIONSVIEW->MAXVALUE' 'n.nn'



So I have my command



PROPERTY cvgshipped 'SCALES[1]->OPTIONSVIEW->MAXVALUE' .veshipnum



Which does not work. I have tried to set SCALES[0]  in case it is zero 
based.




Anyone have blues clues?



TIA

[RBASE-L] - Variable Date Time Edit Control | "Automatic Open"

[Bruce Chitiea]

All:

I cannot find an RBG11 PROPERTY dedicated to auto-opening a Variable 
Date Time Edit control.


Neither AUTODROPDOWN or MAKECLICK apply to the control (according to 
R:DOCS); as apparently confirmed by their failure to have an effect.

  I'm converting parts of something I did several years ago into a

Bruce,

Be sure to place a Variable Memo object on the report, with "Suppress 
Empty Lines" enabled from the right click context menu.


The variable should be a NOTE data type, which combines the various 
TEXT strings.


An example is detailed within the Line Compression page in the R:BASE 
Tutorial:

Doug:

Ran an experiment defining the address string within a view-creating 
.RMD file. Included the string first as a literal, then as an ampersand 
variable within the AS SELECT. Fail. Tried each approach where the 
(CHAR(013)) was inserted as a variable value. Fail.

Bruce, it looks like the (CHAR(013)) is being ignored.
I'm not sure if column names (Addressee, Department, etc) can be 
concatenated with "variables", ie, (CHAR(013)).
Might be a PITB, but what happens if your read Addressee into variable 
vAddressee, Department into vDepartment, etc.,

and then
SET VAR vMailTo text =(.vAddressee + (CHAR(013)) + .vDepartment + 
(CHAR(013))  + etc...)


What happens if SET ERR MESS ON is applied - invalid column name?
Just a stab in the late Sunday dark.

Kayza:

I can't speak to what RBTI might have up their sleeve, but a brute force

I love what I’m seeing.



I may have missed it, but are there any new data types and / or 
“standard” formats for field entry? Specifically, I’m looking for some 
way to make sure that people put valid email addresses into email 
fields. So, to make sure that you have < something>@.




Obviously no filter is going to catch everything, but I’d love 
something that would catch something like myname@gmail (missing .com) 
or mynam.gmail.com (has a dot rather than @ after “myname”)

[RBASE-L] - Mailing Address Line Feed Fail

[Bruce Chitiea]

All:
I need to concatenate mailing addresses with variable line counts, for 
envelope printing. For example:


Addressee
StreetAddress
CityStateZip
or:
Addressee
Department
Corporation
StreetAddress
CityStateZip

A Report Variable is placed within the Page Header of a table-bound 
Report to serve as the printing breakpoint.


Simplified to focus just on line feeding[1] (ignoring the IFNULLing 
required for variable line counts), the variable:


( Addressee + (CHAR(013)) + Department + (CHAR(013)) + Corporation + 
(CHAR(013)) + StreetAddress + (CHAR(013)) + CityStateZip )


... produces this string, exactly where the address should be, one per 
envelope:


AddresseeStreetAddressCityStateZip
or:
AddresseeDepartmentCorporationStreetAddressCityStateZip


Thoughts? And thanks.

change.

Re: [RBASE-L] - mystery character

[Bruce Chitiea]

Dan: Happy-at-the-limit-New-Year:

I presume that the data displayed in the Parts Master - View Mode is 
pulled directly from its source table, and that the " ' " character is 
otherwise your default for encapsulating text strings within code.


I've seen this sort of weird formatting show up when pulling HTML data 
into non-HTML text columns. The alpha-numerics display correctly, but 
punctuations look look like something from the Planet Zog style manual. 
Guessing that what's happening here is similar: a formatting mis-match 
resulting from a search routine which can't handle an apostrophe 
embedded within an expected result.


I'd look to see that the search code can handle an apostrophe orphaned 
within a returned text string.


Can you use a different character (e.g. a " - ") in its place, and see 
what happens?

Re[2]: [RBASE-L] - forcing email address format

[Bruce Chitiea]

Kayza:

For "one-off" domain verifications, R:BASE includes a very basic 
'R:Whois' plugin within the Utilities> Plugin menu.


Plugin rwhois opens a dialog which accepts a manually typed domain name, 
returning whois info, which may then be copied to the clipboard (from 
which to initiate a parsing process.)


I've not experimented with automating this, but, being R:BASE, wouldn't 
be surprised if that can be done.


Best wishes for a chancy 2024.

Kayza,



There are several methods and tools you can use to validate an email 
address.


Online services that automate the process of checking email addresses 
for validity, such as Verifalia, Email Checker, Email Hippo, Hunter 
Email Verifier:, Verify Email Address, etc.
Manual Validation: This involves checking email addresses manually for 
validity
Check the syntax: Ensure that the email address follows the standard 
syntax rules. The email address should contain an @ symbol and a valid 
domain name.
Send a confirmation email: Send a confirmation email to the email 
address and wait for a response. If the email b ounces back or you 
don't receive a response, the email address is likely invalid.
Check the domain: Use a WHOIS lookup tool to check the domain name for 
validity and activity. If the domain is inactive or has expired, the 
email address may be invalid.
Using the Manual Validation approach, you could use R:BASE Functions to 
accomplish your goals of collecting valid email addresses.




I hope it helps!



Very Best R:egards,



Razzak

Perhaps test for the value of system variable RBTI_DIRTY_FLAG before

Subject [RBASE-L] - Know when data has been changed in a row of data in 
a table.



Subject: Know when data has been changed in a row of data in a table.

Background:

Using a form to enter or change data that is in a row in a table.
The application has code in place to record who is logged into the 
system.
When exiting, with or without data changes to the row of data, the form 
has code in the exit button that uses an update command to take the 
logged in username and update the column in the row of data ‘last 
updated by’.

Goal: only do that update if the data has actually been changed.
R:Base has a way to check if data has been changed in a row of data 
when a table is opened and a column in a row has been changed. The save 
button on the bottom of the screen (the check mark) changes from grey 
to a color.


Is there a way to know, using code, if the data in a row in a table has 
changed? This would allow control over the update statement on exit.


Thanks in advance.

Myron Finegold

Re[2]: [RBASE-L] - Calculating Age in Years, Months | PRIVATE

[Bruce Chitiea]

I apologize for using the word "ugly" .

Rather, your code is elegant in that it really could not be reduced 
further without one helluva lot of work, as the 2016 approach suggests.


I should have remembered my 9th grade geometry final, where, confronted 
with a jungular tangle of lines, I brute-forced my way to QED through 
thisHere angle equals thatThere angle in 23 steps. Thought I was all 
that.


The girl next to me reached QED in three.

As to being more versed ... doubtful.

Hi, Bruce -

Thanks for your time and response. I spent an inordinate amount of time 
and effort to create a working formula, and thought there must be an 
easier way. I had in mind a function similar to DATEDIF in Excel.


Glad to have the opinion of someone more versed in R:Base than I am. I 
will use it - as is - in all its ugliness, since it works.

Alternately, from the list in 2016:

SET VAR vElapsed_HR  = (ROUND((.vElapsed_MIN/60),3))

Maybe there's some gold there.

Hello All -

I am wondering if there is a more elegant way to find the difference 
between two days expressed as Years, Months, than what I have been 
using, below, which produces the results nny nnM, but seems clumsy:


(CTXT(INT((DOD - DOB)/365.25))+'Y')&(CTXT(INT(MOD(DOD - 
DOB,365.25)/30.44))+'M')


Where 'DOD'=Date of Death, 'DOB'=Date of Birth, 365.25=number of days 
in a year, and 30.44=number of days in a month.


Seems to me this should be a commonly needed calculation.

Re: [RBASE-L] - Calculating Age in Years, Months

[Bruce Chitiea]

Charles: Played with it a bit, searching for elegance. The only fully 
duplicated segment 'DOD - DOB' is wrapped on all sides by unique 
function strings, so atomization likely creates more work than it's 
worth. So, ugly it may be; but if it works ...


Alternately, from the list in 2016:

CLEAR VAR v%
CLS

SET VAR vBegDATE DATE = NULL
SET VAR vEndDATE DATE = NULL
SET VAR vBegTIME TIME = NULL
SET VAR vEndTIME TIME = NULL

SET VAR vBegDATE = (RDATE(4,21,2016))
SET VAR vEndDATE = (RDATE(4,27,2016))
SET VAR vBegTIME = (RTIME(10,20,0))
SET VAR vEndTIME = (RTIME(14,15,0))

SET VAR vBegDATETIME = (DATETIME(.vBegDATE, .vBegTIME ))
SET VAR vEndDATETIME = (DATETIME(.vEndDATE, .vEndTIME ))

SET VAR vElapsed_MIN = ((.vEndDATETIME - .vBegDATETIME)/60)
SET VAR vElapsed_HR  = (ROUND((.vElapsed_MIN/60),3))
SET VAR vElapsed_DAY = (ROUND((.vElapsed_HR/24),3))

SHOW VARIABLES V%

RETURN

Maybe there's some gold there.

Subject [RBASE-L] - Calculating Age in Years, Months


Hello All -

I am wondering if there is a more elegant way to find the difference 
between two days expressed as Years, Months, than what I have been 
using, below, which produces the results nny nnM, but seems clumsy:


(CTXT(INT((DOD - DOB)/365.25))+'Y')&(CTXT(INT(MOD(DOD - 
DOB,365.25)/30.44))+'M')


Where 'DOD'=Date of Death, 'DOB'=Date of Birth, 365.25=number of days 
in a year, and 30.44=number of days in a month.


Seems to me this should be a commonly needed calculation.

If I understand correctly, by Universal Key you mean a Primary Key 
with Foreign keys linked. I personally would not use a real or double 
type as Primary key, precisely because of the problems you are 
encountering. You can have the same value generated at different time 
and depending on how is computed can default to a different valuer, 
or two different values that default to the same value. All my 
primary keys, and by extension foreign keys, have the type INTEGER or 
TEXT.


Now, if you want to change the type, you need to go to all the linked 
tables, disable the primary/foreign link to the primary table an 
rename them to a temporary name. Then, you can go to the primary 
table and change the type to what ever you need it to be, and the n 
go back to the secondary tables and change the name back to the 
original at which time they will adopt the new type and then re-ink 
them to the primary table, makes sense? There is a rename command, 
but if I recall correctly, will not work with linked columns. If you 
are going to do this, I would suggest converting your REAL values to 
INTEGER and use them as the primary key.


At one time, I had the need to change the text length of several

[Bruce Chitiea]

I try to have all calculation and data-formation issues squared away 
before applying display formatting. So, from R:SYNTAX, this might be 
helpful:

(BRND(arg1,arg2,arg3))

Rounds REAL, DOUBLE, or CURRENCY data to a specific number of decimal 
places and allows specification of the number of significant digits to 
return. Arg1 is the value to be rounded. Arg2 is the number of 
significant digits to return, and Arg3 is the precision. The precision 
is specified as a decimal number, for example, .01 rounds to two decimal 
places.


In the following example, the value of vresult is 1234.57.

SET VAR vresult = (BRND(1234.5678342,8,.01))

***

The datatype may then be easily redefined to suit your purpose, so that 
display formatting is reliable child's play:


SET VAR vresult DOUBLE

SET VAR vresult TEXT

SET VAR vresult CURRENCY

you could get different representations to the screen.


Looks like the 000.## type of formatting might be truncating.  In my 
example, it would display as 104.30 or 104.309 even tho the number is 
actually 104.31.  Someone else suggested using the ROUND function if 
you know how many decimal places you want displayed.

This is an unusual situation where the number stored could possibly be

Hey Tony, thanks. Good philosophy.

I had thought of SET ZERO OFF as a LOCAL toggle, not as a database 
default (RTFM, my bad. ) I'm gonna go conservative at the local level 
with this approach:


IF varname IS NOT NULL OR varname > 0 THEN
--do the [ > 0 ] thing
ELSE
--do the [ NULL | < 0 | = 0 ] thing
ENDIF

Morning Bruce,

Interesting question over the morning cuppa. In general I consider that 
the "IF varname > 0" is a comparison statement and setting zero on or 
off doesn't affect the outcome, in saying that however should there be 
a calculation i.e. set var vresult = (.v1 + .v2 + .v3) prior to the 
comparison logic I personally set zero on if there is any chance of one 
of the variables being a null value as it may return a null causing the 
'IF" statement to fail if zero was off. Anyway just my thoughts on how 
I use SET ZERO.

Hey, thanks. I'm fully booked today, but I'll get back to you soon.

For an R:BASE feature perfectly suited for menu-at-the-desktop, take a 
look at the R:BASE External Form File (.RFF) structure.

Dear Bruce,

Your solution appears more comprehensive and elegant than I envisioned.

My suggestion was more along the line of an R:Base feature included 
with the program.


Please share how you do this, as it also suggests some strategies for 
organization, and sub-directory management.


All the best,

Randy

OPEN this database.


I would like a choose command that lists all my files ending in .RMD.

That way I can select the RMD file, and use:  RUN name.RMD which will

Do users with multiple databases have a desktop icon for each

Re[2]: [RBASE-L] - creating text file with blank spaces in tact

[Bruce Chitiea]

James:

In broader context, I cannot swear that (CHAR(160)) serves as a "hard 
space" across the entire family of True Type fonts likely being used by, 
say Lacerte.


But I'm guessing you're not the only one tormented by gov't 
punch-card-era data formats.


So, maybe try an enhancement request (or two) along the lines of:

SET TRIM ON/OFF -- toggle all TRIM variants (default: ON)

(NTRIM(text)) -- Prevents trim of leading and trailing blanks from text.

I was mainly trying out different values. Over the years, I have been 
using mixture of methods developed ad hoc to handle federal and state 
government uploads. I have been alternating between char(00) and 
char(32). Now, I am trying to figure out something that works reliably 
on all submissions and did not even consider extended ASCII. char(160) 
could be a game changer for me. I will see in the months to come.

PS. It's nice to know there is a (CHAR(160)) hard space.  The result 
is similar to using a font that is not proportional, so number and 
other columns remain aligned on successive rows.

Bruce,
Thank you for the suggestion. char(160) works like a charm and does 
not get truncated. I will try this when I upload files next time. 
Hopefully the extended ASCII blank space is accepted. If there are any 
problems, I'll seek further assistance.

I'm trying to generate a text file shaped like a rectangle, where

create a rectangle that consists of 3 rows, each with 50 columns. 
However, I'm encountering an issue where the blank spaces are being

Subject [RBASE-L] - Refresh DBGrid after delete?


I have a single-table form with an Enhanced DBGrid that list invoices.

Double-clicking an invoice row in the grid brings up an invoice edit 
form in which user can delete the invoice.

The row Is deleted from the invoice table.

The DBGrid double-click EEP is:
EDIT USING Invoice8 WHERE INVOICE# = .vInvoice# MDI
PROPERTY TABLE Invoice 'REFRESH'
RETURN

But I can't get the deleted invoice row to be removed from the Enhanced 
DBGrid when the edit form closes.

Clicking a column header for sorting removes it.

I've tried the above Refresh table property, and table Close and Open 
with no success.


Any cures for the Friday Blues please?

[RBASE-L] - Enhanced DB Grid | Does not populate fully

[Bruce Chitiea]

All:

RBGX5E - current

Issue:
An Enhanced DB Grid (EDBG) control populates with only the first row 
drawn from its temp table source.


Background:
-- the source temp table is configured as a slave table in the Select 
Tables
-- the source temp table is created and fully populated in the On Before 
Design and On Before Start EEPs


-- One approach placed properties within the On After Start EEP:
-- -- PROPERTY cid_edbg_test ENABLED 'TRUE'
-- -- PROPERTY cid_edbg_test REDRAWGRID ' '
-- -- PROPERTY cid_edbg_test SET_ACTIVE_CONTROL 'TRUE'
-- -- PROPERTY cid_edbg_test MAKECLICK ' '

-- The EDBG displays that first row perfectly. Nuthin' after that'

-- Another approach moved the 'REDRAWGRID' statement into the On Entry 
Into the DB Grid EEP. No difference.


Any thoughts or experience?

Many thanks, Bruce

Try holding down the [ctrl] key and hitting [break] three or four times

Hi,



Can you tell me how to get out of an infinite loop or a process that’s 
taking too much time?




Right now, I end the task using windows. The problem is that when I 
re-enter R:Base, a new user is added. How do I reset the number of 
users?




Thanks,

Try replacing your DBText fields with DBMemos and mark each memo 
"stretch".  I have notes that at one time I had to do that to suppress

Hi Bruce,

I have tried various things as suggested. and more, including just 
having one series, but the only control that I can get to adjust the 
label spacing is the minimum separation. Not sure what is awry here as 
I have managed to get this to work previously.


Thanks for your help.

Hi Bruce,

Thanks very much for taking the time to reply. I am just back home so 
I will look at this tonight. To answer your questions though:-


1. The data is from three tables with different time stamps. I can 
force the start time to be the same as this is just one day's data. 
The sampling interval differs. Not ideal but one set of data 
(pressure) was sampled at a higher rate than the temperatures.


2. The two hours came from a drop down list.

I will let you know how I get on.

Thanks again.

It's been a while since I've standardized my axis' configs, rusty now 
on charting anomalies.


First the data.

(1) Date/Time is captured in 1/100th second intervals, with values 
presumably recorded in each of the three tables; sourced from a 
family of sensors performing a whole lot of sampling. Do discrete 
data points in each of the three tables align upon a common date/time 
value, e.g. all three tables have a data point containing dateTime 
value 08/06/2023 03:09:03.03? (meaning they share a common Label 
value. If not, there's a View trick to overcome the anarchy for 
charting purposes.)


(2) Do all three series share the same horizontal spatial 
configurations of the series chosen for labels?


(3) How does R:Charts recognize the Scale Increment text value "Two 
Hours"?


(4) My experience of axis configuration is similar to yours. The 
frequency and spacing of Labels seems to depend on the frequency and 
spacing of Tick Marks. I can't say I know everything about that. But 
note the variance of minor/major Tick Mark spacing along the axis. 
The spacing of the minor ticks in the first and sixth segments is 
reduced relative to those within the second through fifth segment, 
suggesting a "crowding" . Take a shot at standardizing the spacing:

-- Chart Editor > Chart > Axis > Bottom Axis >
-- Ticks Tab: Reduce the "Minor" Count to = 1 (or 0, as the Minor 
Ticks aren't very useful here)
-- Labels Tab > Styles Sub-Tab: Play with the "Min. Separation %" 
value


(5) Thinking, too, that the width of each dateTime value may be a 
factor. Granted, your Labels Tab > Style Sub-Tab > [x] Multi-line 
staggers the Labels; but note the uniformity of the vertical margin 
spacing between the top and bottom row. You may be "minned out" for 
horizontal adjustment. Perhaps redefining your Label value solely as 
a Time data type might provide lateral flexibility?


Hope there's something there for you.

If that silence is of more than a few days duration, no answer.

Comms nationally are taking a beating this week, what with storms, heat 
and solar activity. Here in SoCal we're having Spectrum and Verizon 
issues.


Guess we'll find out.

All:

Running the PRINT command without reference to subtable and subColumn

Re: [RBASE-L] - Copy of files suddenly stops working | Question

[Bruce Chitiea]

Jim:

Are you backing up only .RX? files, or do you have a mix in the source 
folder?


If just the .RX? files, there's the old R:azzak trick, run from an .RMD 
file within the database folder:


SET VAR gv_rbaseName TEXT = NULL [1]
SET VAR gv_targetPath TEXT = NULL
SET VAR gv_fileName TEXT = NULL
SET VAR gv_fileSpec TEXT = NULL

SET VAR gv_rbasename = (CVAL('DATABASE'))
SET VAR gv_targetPath = ''

SET VAR gv_fileName = +
( (CVAL(.gv_rbaseName)) + '_' + (FORMAT(.#NOW, '-MMDD-HHNN')) + 
'.rmd' )


SET VAR gv_fileSpec = (.gv_filePath + .gv_fileName )

OUTPUT .gv_fileSpec
UNLOAD ALL
OUTPUT screen

A lot more reliable that COPY, with an improved likelihood of recovery 
in a pinch.


Best, Bruce

Subject [RBASE-L] - Copy of files suddenly stops working


Good Moring, group:

I have a Utility Billing program running at several villages, and the 
backup routine which does a backup to an external drive has failed 
lately at 3 clients with the same error message of 'cannot open source 
file (2085).  I wrote the routine years ago, and it is quite simple.  I 
create a variable of 'location/name/time/date' for where we are sending 
the data to (VF_TO}'.   This is because the operator may do multiple 
backup on any given day.


The command is:  COPY C:\UBILL\*.* _TO

Sample trace attached.  Am i doing the simplest way for a backup or 
others have a better way. ??

Any 'blues' clues.

Thanks for any assistance.

Jim

I think you have lost a chunk of code and a period. You're trying to 
get COPY to execute an ampersand variable and I don't believe it will. 
However, if you put in a period between the & and VF_TO, I think you 
will be in good shape.


SET VAR VF_TO TEXT = ('COPY C:\UBILL\*.*'& . VF_TO)
_TO

Dear R:BASE,

I have a coming printed volume with ca 8000 rows with Medieval Swedish 
commodity prices in (of course) R:BASE. The rows are originally in 
Swedish alphabetical order and every commodity are sorted in 
chronological order. All thanks to a unique key, tran_id, where the 
lower tran_id the older a price. My scholar colleagues in this long 
time-consuming project suddenly  wanted the volume to be published in 
English, so I added columns for that translation. Only a few goods 
have the same name and spelling in Swedish and English and the 
publisher want an export i excel in English alphabetical order. Said 
and done, R>... ORDER BY commodity ASC.


To exemplify below with selected columns: almond comes in the 
beginning of my export in English. But when the data is being exported 
the chronological order is "forgotten". This is no cow on the ice, as 
we say in Sweden, because it can be fixed in excel by going through 
commodity after commodity. Just want to check if there is an SQL way 
of ORDER BY first and second?


I wish the whole R:BASE society A HAPPY MIDSUMMER!

[RBASE-L] - Building Ampersanded PROPERTY-Set Variables

[Bruce Chitiea]

All:

I'm attempting to build an RBASE_FORM_ACTION library of frequently-used 
PROPERTY sets - reduced to single variables - for ampersanding wherever 
they're needed. Should speed things up and eliminate error and omission.


The required single quote characters are embedded using SET VAR vapos 
TEXT = 


--assemble 


SET VAR v502_button_pullEnter_ACTIVATE TEXT = +
('PROPERTY cid_pb_pullEnter ENABLED ' + .vapos + 'TRUE' + .vapos + 
(CHAR(013)) + +
 'PROPERTY cid_pb_pullEnter COLOR ' + .vapos + 'WEBGOLD' + .vapos + 
(CHAR(013)) + +
 'PROPERTY cid_pb_pullEnter SET_ACTIVE_CONTROL ' + .vapos + 'TRUE' + 
.vapos )


--test result 
PAUSE 1 USING .v502_button_pullEnter_ACTIVATE +
OPTION MESSAGE_FONT_NAME courier new |MESSAGE_FONT_SIZE 12



--initialize buttons --
_button_pullEnter_ACTIVATE
...


The individual statements work fine; and, at least the PAUSE construct 
looks right.


Any ideas on what I'm not seeing here?

Thanks, as ever, Bruce

[RBASE-L] - Performance: EEP v. Custom Form Action

[Bruce Chitiea]

Just wondering - maintenance considerations aside - if there is a 
performance gain for code embedded in CFAs vs. EEPs for individual Form 
controls.


Say that in an On Click, or On Exit EEP I have variable-driven branching 
logic directing the process to one or more blocks of static 
data-crunching code:


(Courier New font)
All code within an EEP:

IF vdecision = 1 THEN
 {run this here gnarly block of static instructions}
ELSE
 {run that there gnarly block of static instructions}
ENDIF

Using Custom Form Actions:

IF vthisHereDecision = 1 THEN
  PROPERTY RBASE_FORM_ACTION thisHereGnarlyBlock ' '
ELSE
  PROPERTY RBASE_FORM_ACTION thatThereGnarlyBlock ' '
ENDIF

Thoughts?

RE: [RBASE-L] - Scaling a form that is large to fit on a laptop display

[Bruce Chitiea]

That’s the great thing about MDI forms. They don’t have to be closed. They can 
be parked here or there, or rolled up and available. The information in one or 
more forms can change with changes in another, so the info can always be fresh. 
I recommend giving it a look.

The Goal: to be able to scale the form to fit on a laptop. The form is 
1863 wide and 1066 high. The Border Style is set to sizable. The setup 
works fine on 24 or 27 inch displays.

All:

Thank you for your assistance, and apologies, I've wasted your time. The 
observed error resulted from my failure to copy the 8/25/2022 
RDocumenterX5.rbm file into the RBGX5E folder, as instructed.


A reminder to me to pay attention while performing updates.

All:

For years now, the Norton 360 anti-virus module has played nice with 
the excluded RBGX5E.EXE program. No issues.


Of a sudden, running the R:Documenter Plugin results in:

-ERROR- Function sequence error. (2677)

(2) Norton does not support exclusion of .RX? files.

Two questions;
(1) In your experience, are there any ancillary R:BASE files which

(2) Which antivirus program/suite has never blocked your R:BASE 
activity?


All experience and suggestions appreciated.

Hey thank you. I keep hearing good things about Defender. As for the

[Bruce Chitiea]

Thank you, Steve.

"For years now, the Norton 360 anti-virus module has played nice with 
the excluded RBGX5E.EXE program. No issues."


Like most of us R:BASEers, we've played with anti-virus and security for 
several decades. The landscape is always shifting. Maybe we're spoiled 
with R:BASE's security envelope appearing as such a stable envelope. So, 
to have the activities of an internal plugin being flagged for hitting 
an .RX1 file is something of a shock.


Still, as far as I'm concerned, Norton has screwed the pooch by not 
providing this system owner with a manual override, and then killing the 
RBASE executable to rub it in. If I confirm that I trust it, dammit, 
it's trusted.


Switching security envelopes on multiple systems is not a task to be 
undertaken lightly. No one on this list is an IT cherry, so I hold the 
recommendations of all in high regards. Nonetheless, I proceed with 
caution.


Best to all, Bruce

Bruce,



Rather than excluding a folder, have you tried excluding the RBGX5E.EXE 
file itself and other .exe files associated with Rbase as needed?  
Especially since I gather Norton 360 has identified the .EXE file as 
the culprit. In the past, this could be done.  EXE files can be 
notorious triggers, especially since anti-virus programs focus on 
executable files for obvious reasons.




We use Eset at work on about 10 desktops with Rbase with no problems, 
although we are using our IT vendor supplied version.

Bruce,

Have you tried Webroot <https://www.webroot.com/us/en>?

It works on a different method than the others: rather than match
against a downloaded database, it watches processes and, when it sees
something new, lists everything it does. If it then decides it's
hostile, Webroot kills the process, reverses the list of actions it 
took

and quarantines the villain. An additional advantage is that it is very
unintrusive i.e. it is not constantly popping warnings and doesn't hog
the CPU.

[RBASE-L] - Norton Anti-Virus and the R:Documenter Plugin

[Bruce Chitiea]

All:

For years now, the Norton 360 anti-virus module has played nice with the 
excluded RBGX5E.EXE program. No issues.


Of a sudden, running the R:Documenter Plugin results in:

-ERROR- Function sequence error. (2677)

... and, after terminating the running instance of RBGX5E.EXE,  Norton 
smugly announces that:


"Data Protector blocked a suspicious action by RBGX5E.EXE".

What I know from testing:
(1) Norton does not support exclusion of the database folder;
(2) Norton does not support exclusion of .RX? files.

Two questions;
(1) In your experience, are there any ancillary R:BASE files which 
require exclusion?
(2) Which antivirus program/suite has never blocked your R:BASE 
activity?


All experience and suggestions appreciated.

Flooded SoCal Regards, Bruce

Karen,

Try this.

GATEWAY EXPORT XLSW +
.. set up location of your file here ….xlsx +
SELECT * FROM (table you created with the info) +
OPTION COL_NAMES ON +
|SHEET_INDEX 1 +
|RAW_GEN ON +
|BLANK_IF_NULL ON +
|BLANK_IF_ZERO OFF +
|SHOW_PROGRESS ON +
|MERGE_DATA ON +
|TAB_NAME ( name of tab in the workbook)

This overwrites the info in the tab you are pointing to.
I use this to add info to multiple tabs in one Excel book.

Re[2]: [RBASE-L] - RCharts Plugin

[Bruce Chitiea]

Richard: Good. You're on your way.

Regarding the Error Variable. The value of the error variable resets for 
each command run. If you wish to evaluate it, you must capture it 
immediately.


(1) Create the error variable with an unambiguous name, e.g. SET ERROR 
VARIABLE verrorVar
(2) Create the error "capture" variable with a name describing it's 
role, e.g. verrorCapture
(3) Set the value of the capture variable to the value of the error 
variable IMMEDIATELY after the command you're evaluating,


example:

SET ERROR VARIABLE verrorVar
SET VAR verrorCapture INTEGER = NULL
COMMAND_BEING_EVALUATED
SET VAR verrorCapture = .verrVar
IF verrorCapture = 0 THEN ; do something R:BASEey ; ENDIF

If you don't have one already, I highly recommend an R:Docs 
subscription, which provides a listing of error codes and descriptions.


Feel free to reach out with R:Charts questions. Happy to help. Not so 
happy to show how little I actually know.

Subject Re: [RBASE-L] - RCharts Plugin


Bruce,

Thank you for your advise.  What I learned in the meantime is that I 
can use the PLUGIN command without specifying an image size.  That 
wasn't the source of my error message.  The error message resulted 
instead from the command

R>  SHO vResults
My problem was that the PLUGIN command does not create this variable, 
so it didn't exist to be shown.  I didn't know that to test with this 
variable, you first need to define it as the error variable with the 
command.

R> SET ERROR VARIABLE vResults
After doing this, the error message went away and the value of vResults 
was shown as 0.


Thanks for your help.  Now that I have an initial R:Chart chart 
displayed in a form, I can now experiment with the other option 
parameters to try to get to the real capability I am trying to 
implement.


Richard

I am attempting to use PLUGINs for the first time, with RChart being 
my guinea pig.
I am still using RBase version X, and trying to decide if RCharts is 
valuable to me before I upgrade.


I used the RChart desktop icon to launch RCharts and create a chart 
file:  MidTerm.RBC

My databases and this chart file are stored in folder D:\RBxData\
My goal is to insert the PLUGIN command into a form's EEP to initiate 
the display of this chart in a separate window (either as a chart 
within a separate form or otherwise).
But before doing so, I tried testing the PLUGIN command from the R>, 
using the syntax from RCharts help file.


After navigating to D:\RBxData\ and connecting to the database 
containing the table with the chart's data, I used this command at the 
R>

  R>PLUGIN RCharts vResults |FILENAME MidTerm.RBC
  R>SHO vResults
-ERROR- Invalid parameter ( 639)
  R>PLUGIN RCharts vResults |FILENAME D:\RBxData\MidTerm.RBC
  R>SHO vResults
-ERROR- Invalid parameter ( 639)

I noticed that all example charts in the sample database bundled with 
RBase are displayed within a report.  This is done by inserting an 
IMAGE object into the report, using the PLUGIN command to save the 
chart to a file, and then retrieving this file into the report's Image 
object.  Does this also work for forms by placing an IMAGE object into 
a form?  Is it even possible to display charts within a form?


Based on the examples, and thinking my only option is to save the 
chart to a file (rather than display it real time without a form), I 
tried to create a .JPG file using the PLUGIN command:
  R>PLUGIN RCharts vResults |FILENAME MidTerm.RBC |SAVE_TO_JPG 
D:\RBxData\MidTerm.JPG

  R>SHO vResults
-ERROR- Invalid parameter ( 639)

My installed RBase files are stored on a separate drive partition F:\

far), I provide this info anyway.

   F:\RBaseX (RBase is installed in this folder)
   F:\RBaseX\RChartsX (RCharts is installed in this sub-folder)
   F:\RBaseX\RDocsX (RDocs is installed in this sub-folder)
   F:\RBaseX\...
   F:\RBaseX\RChartX.RBM  (This key RChart file is in the RBaseX folder 
with

   F:\RBaseX\RBGX.EXE   the RBase software)

My experiments show I need help to get started using RCharts.  I am 
hoping that some of you RChart gurus can help me get going in using 
RCharts within a RBase application.

Latitude model numbers come with a prefix, e.g. "15-3560"; and the 
battery voltages (e.g. 14.4v, 14.8v) and ratings (e.g. mAh/Wh) are model 
dependent. Beware the simple listing: "battery for Dell Latitude 3560 
laptop".


A quick Google of "Dell Latitude 3560 Battery Replacement" brought up a 
respectable range of battery-oriented resellers. Some provide more 
information than others.


As for price, my practice is to pay the extra if it's USA manufactured.

I did a search on Amazon, and the battery that came up was for an 
Inspiron.  So that made me a bit leery.  I thought the same, tho, just 
check the ratings of the seller

Hope you all don't mind a hardware question.

Need to replace my Dell laptop battery.  Seems I've heard warnings 
about not getting "cheap" batteries.  Battery for the Latitude 3560 is 
not even available on Dell's website.  Search shows everything from $23 
from Secure-Battery.com to $90 from Parts-People.com


This has been my warrior development machine for a long time and I 
don't have plans of replacing it anytime soon.


How do I know if "cheap is good"?  Typically it isn't.

Hi Bruce,

There is an article here

which explains the delights of Windows timestamps. Having learned 
more than you might have wished, you can find the utility equivalent

there are a couple (?) of Windows command line utilities called 
Touch. One is downloadable

Re[5]: [RBASE-L] - GATEWAY IMPORT Fail | Success, Notes and Postscript

[Bruce Chitiea]

All: Thank you. For any other professional trainee (best viewed in 
Courier New font):


The successful integration of the .RGW import specification file looks 
like this:


GATEWAY IMPORT CUS .v04_fileSpec_importSource +
APPEND stage2_atomized_tt +
OPTION SPECIFICATION_FILE_NAME stage1_list_prepared.rgw

As noted below, the .v04_filespec_importSource variable concatenates the 
source file with the source path. "Ampersanding" this variable also 
works.


In the above code, the stage_1_list_prepared.RGW file is found in the 
same folder as the .RMD file. But what if the .RGW file needs to be 
stored elsewhere?


SET VAR +
v04_importSpecFilePath = 'D:\WORKBENCH\RBMS\FNAME_2\2-FILE_LIST\', +
v04_importSpecFile = 'stage1_list_prepared.rgw'

SET VAR +
v04_importSpecification = (.v04_importSpecFilePath + .v04_importSpecFile 
)


GATEWAY IMPORT CUS _fileSpec_importSource +
APPEND stage2_atomized_tt +
OPTION SPECIFICATION_FILE_NAME _importSpecification

Note that the variable v04_importSpecification MUST be ampersanded.

**
Postscript.

The process of defining the .RGW file in the GUI is sensitive to the 
number of non-null populated columns found in the source-file sample 
used to capture the column mappings. It is possible that the sample used 
may not be representative of every row in the real-world data set, e.g. 
may not contain the maximum number of non-null column values (this is 
especially possible if one is testing with a small source data set, to 
avoid hard-resetting one's way out of eternal loops with the real-world 
data set.)


In my case, the target output table contains fifteen (15) columns; my 
small source sample contains only eleven (11) non-null columns. The .RGW 
file - editable with RBEdit, captured the following [Mappings]:


[Mappings]
Count=15
Map0=stage1_filenameID = Field1
Map1=rbms = Field2
Map2=soNum = Field3
Map3=custTextCode = Field4
Map4=docCode = Field5
Map5=docDateRaw = Field6
Map6=docNum = Field7
Map7=docField08 = Field8
Map8=docField09 = Field9
Map9=docField10 = Field10
Map10=docField11 = Field11
Map11=docField12 =
Map12=docField13 =
Map13=stage2_column_count =
Map14=walkListID =

There's the prospect that an attempt to import the real-world data set 
might fail, should rows contain data in Fields 12 through 15. Simple 
solution: edit the .RGW file:


...
Map11=docField12 = Field12
Map12=docField13 = Field13
Map13=stage2_column_count = Field14
Map14=walkListID = Field15

The successful tests reported above were performed with both the 
original and modified .RGW files.

Hey Jim, Happy New Year, and thanks. Great minds.

My original code, which I simplified for presentation to the list, 
looked like this:


  SET VAR  +
v04_folder_lists = 'D:\WORKBENCH\RBMS\FNAME_2\2-FILE_LIST\', +
v04_fileList_stage1 = 'stage1_list_prepared.txt'

  SET VAR  +
v04_fileSpec_importSource = (.v04_folder_lists + 
.v04_fileList_stage1)


  GATEWAY IMPORT CUS _fileSpec_importSource +
APPEND stage2_atomized_tt +
OPTION FIRST_ROW 3 +
|SEPARATOR ( +
...+

Also tried the import source as a dot variable. Since the GUI import 
succeeded, now attempting to integrate the .RGW file into the code.


Always appreciated, Bruce

The file path set to a var is normally better because you do not have 
to worry about spaces, etc.


At least that has helped me with my RGW spec code.

Thank you, the GUI import succeeds. An .RGW file was generated during

Bruce,

Are you able to complete the process using the manual GATEWAY IMPORT 
GUI interface?


If successful, you may create the "Import Specification (.rgw)" file 
to automate the entire process.


Hope that provides you with some blue's clues!

Thanks, Tony.

Per R:azzak's suggestion, I'm going to run the spec file approach to 
control for possible ghosts in my machine. But your offer of code is 
most appreciated; I may be back to you.

Hey Bruce, Happy New Year mate.
 Sorry I've been absent on line for abit rolling out the version 2 of 
the new aquaculture system.


 Anyway to your issue, I have to import external data from numerous 
devices, CSV base but in different column orders.


 The primary data needs to be stored in a set table format in the 
system so to get over this I use the import gateway create temporary 
table command followed by a series of alter table commands the match 
the required format.


I know which line the headers are in and that's what I use to alter the 
column headings to.


So I was thinking you might let gateway do the initial import and 
manipulate the column names once the data is in R:Base.


Happy to send you some code if it helps

Re: ***SPAM*** Re: [RBASE-L] - Bit Button On-Click EEP variable values 77, 99

[Bruce Chitiea]

Perfect! "Plagiarizing with Pride" ... and attribution in the EEP 
headers.


These fit right in with the other eggs scattered throughout the tall 
grass, awaiting discovery; and suggest uses for other arbitrary 
pass-along values.


Happy New Year, Sir!

Bruce,

Apparently, you are using and/or recycling Razzak's sample application 
forms in your own application, or at least trying to recycle. That's 
great!


However ...

The value assigned for the button [Continue]  vButton = 77, and value 
assigned for the button [Cancel]  vButton = 99, is the indicator as to 
how the form was closed. Then, based on the returned value you can 
continue or cancel the process as you see fit.


There is more to that logic in my complex applications.

Hope it helps!

Very Best R:egards,

Razzak

Thoughts? And thanks.

Fw: Re[2]: [RBASE-L] - capture autonumber field value | COUNT=INSERT

[Bruce Chitiea]

All:

I searched R:SYNTAX for "COUNT = INSERT" (Found under "WHERE (Short 
Name: WHER)" | "Basic WHERE Clause Conditions")


Can someone clarify?

"Refers to the last row inserted in a table by the current user, even if 
it has been modified by another user. "


Q. If I am the "current user", does COUNT=INSERT reference MY last row 
when "another user" ADDS one or more rows after mine?


"If there is not a newly inserted row in the table ..."

Q. What is the time frame/session condition which determines "newly"?

Thanks much, Bruce

Dan,

SET VAR vLastValue INTEGER = 0
SELECT colname INTO vLastValue INDIC iv1 FROM tablename WHERE COUNT = 
INSERT


Alternatively, you could also try:

SET VAR vLastValue INTEGER = 0
SELECT colname INTO vLastValue INDIC iv1 FROM tablename WHERE COUNT = 
LAST


Hope it helps!

[RBASE-L] - Reports | Subreport configuration issue

[Bruce Chitiea]

RBG5XE latest

Q. What might drive this behaviour?

With all tables defined around a common key, and with Child Subreports 
1-4 successfully established and previewing correctly, Subreport 5 
defies configuration.


The Subreport 5 configuration tab provides only a Detail band, No Header 
or Footer Band.


I've rebuilt and restarted the Report to reverse the data sets of 
Subreports 4 and 5. Subreport 4 (formerly 5) configures correctly, but 
the new Subreport 5 (formerly 4), now exhibits the same behaviour: 
Detail Band only. Positioning Subreport 5 so that Shifting Relative To 
... is not a factor makes no difference.


Thoughts?

[RBASE-L] - Do you have an R:BASE Fund Accounting App?

[Bruce Chitiea]

All:

Having recently stepped into the treasurer position of my Rotary 
Club[1], I'm looking for tools to manage finance and contacts involved 
in fund raising (e.g. food bank collection, golf tournament, car show) 
and charitable distribution (e.g. food bank, scholarships, merit awards, 
global grants ...).


One highly desirable capability would be to manage a checking account as 
an array of sub-accounts into which deposits can be distributed as funds 
arrive; and from which funds may be disbursed at the conclusion of a 
campaign.


The virtue is that any member can see at a glance the non-co-mingled 
balances collected for each effort, and rolled-up totals at each higher 
level.


Example of account structure and rollup balance result:

-WFB Checking 26,500
--Deposit {deposit and distribute}
--Reserve ..10,000
--Operations ... 7,000
--Impounds . 9,500
---Car Show ...1,500
---Christmas Basket ...1,000
---Food Bank ..1,000
---Golf Tourney ...1,000
---Polio Plus .1,800
---Red Ribbon Week 1,000
---Scholarship 1,000
---The Rotary Foundation ..1,200

If you've developed such a system targeted to non-profits, would you 
kindly give me a call at (909) 238-9012 to discuss possible terms of 
use?


Much appreciated! Bruce
