Re: [U2] Clearing Input Buffer

Ding, ding, ding; we have a winner!

Apparently the scanner I was using had a CR suffix.  When I changed it to a Tab 
suffix it worked fine without needing to clear the buffer.

Thanks for all the input.

You can also in the after routine of the second field, do a raw char input 
loop, until there are no further raw chars to input.

You'd probably be better off trying to find the configuration barcodes for the 
scanner that control what character it sends after the data.

Subject: [U2] FW: Clearing Input Buffer

I have an input screen (built with System Builder) where data can either be 
entered manually or via a barcode scanner.  The screen has 3 text boxes for 
input.  The barcode option fills two of the text boxes and is supposed to land 
on the third box to await input.  However, the scanner must be adding an extra 
return or something because when I scan it  the third field's Process After 
executes.

What can I do to flush the input buffer at the end of my validation routine on 
my second field...or is it better to do this on the Process Before on my third 
field.

It's more of a nuisance but it would look more professional if I could make it 
clean.

I would think flushing the input buffer in either location would be
sufficient, assuming the problem is as you described.  I've seen situations
where there's something in the second field, for example, that is data
stacking something new and the data stacking from the gun is conflicting
with that.  If you're confident that's not the case, flushing the input
before that third field should suffice.

Re: [U2] Unidata 7.3.x

2013-02-22 Thread Doug Averch
Hi Jeffrey:

The main one for us was native JSON formatting through the UDO.  That
allows us to create and decipher JSON within UniBasic without a lot of code
that we had before.

However, the documentation is marginal and there is no examples.  I worked
on on this for many hours and was close to getting it working.  I had to
have help from Dan at Rocket Software to figure out what my problem was.  I
posted code a while ago on this listserver.
