Are you using Windows or OSX. If you are I think you might need to type in the message box of the stack you are using
set the externals of this stack to "./VXCMD_Macho_MC"
so that the stack knows to use the Xcmd (p 4 of the VXCMD docs). You have to quit Rev or purge the stack from memory and then start afresh before the property is registered. If your file path or Xcmd is different then modify the set command accordingly. I think the macho version doesn't ship with OSX Rev so you will need to download it from Paridigmasoft.com. I don't know about windows but I think you need VXCMD_Win_MC.dll. That is what the docs say.


If you get the externals set to your stack you should be able to type
 put valentina("version")
into the message box and have the version returned.

Can anyone give me some clues about using Valentina from Rev via the XCMD?

I've been able to use it via the revdb functions with some limited success,
but had some crashes (sadly not been able to pin down) and I think not
everything can be done via the SQL interface - for example, I've not been
able to create a new database from scratch. So I'd like to dig into the
direct interface.


I've looked at the documentation, both Rev's and Valentina's, but not got
anywhere.


As I understand it, Rev ships with the Valentina XCMD already integrated it.
Is that right, or should I need to do install anything else to get working?


My first - perhaps it's my only - problem is the name of the function. The
documentation from Rev is nowhere (that I can find) explicit about this.
The documentation from Paradigma suggests that there should be a function
called "Valentina", eg that there should be possible to execute
put Valentina( "Version" )


When I attempt the above, I get "error in function handler". (I also tried
it as a handler rather than a function - just get the equivalent, "no such
handler".) Do I need to do something else to make the Valentina functions
available? Or is just a slightly different name?
