Is there any way to obtain the properties for a specific entry in a Radio_Button group? For example, how could I determine whether RB.Ctl:3 is disabled or hidden?
We've got some older programs that will be updated in the future. When they're all done, we'd like to simply remove or hide the specific button that refers to those programs and have conditional references adjust the text accordingly.
Any ideas?

Is there a way to ensure that a particular column is visible in a report-style list_box?
We've got list boxes with only about half the columns visible at a time. If we 'FindItemText$ to a column that is not visible, the line is highlighted, but the actual text can't be seen. This is especially confusing for users when that text appears more than once in the line.
There's a 'TopVisibleItem available for line-based visibility, but nothing I've found for columns. The closest is 'ColumnClicked, but that's read-only.
Thanks, all!

Is there a simple way to have Nomads search multiple paths for a library? This would include a path not in the prefix.
What I had originally thought was something like:
process "MyPanel","MyLibrary",err=*next; goto It_Works
process "MyPanel","../nomlib/MyLibrary"
It_Works:Unfortunately, this doesn't work as intended. If Nomads can't find the library using the language extension options, it bails out without taking the err=*next.
The other option I'm looking into is to simply try to open the library locally, then in the alternate path(s), until it's found and then use the result.
Any other suggestions?

If you are looking for a PxPlus programming position, PM me and I can provide more details.

After a little Thoroughbred with MAS90 over 30 years ago, I've been dealing with BBx, ProvideX, and a lot of PxPlus over the past 20+ years. Extensive experience with Infor FACTS, but also very knowledgeable with NOMADS and adaptable to home-grown systems, including conversions between languages and from CUI to GUI.

If you would like me to help fulfill your programming/analysis needs, please contact me via PM and we can see how we fit.

We're still upgrading many of the program from our legacy system which uses explicit IOLISTs in the programs. As we update file definitions in Nomads, we also need to update some of these IOLISTs. To help, we've got a program that runs through the Nomads Data Dictionary and creates an IOLIST statement for the defined files, including non-normalized variants. These are loaded out to a line-numbered text file, then run through "*pg.cnv" to convert to a tokenized program.

Trying to run it today, I get an Error #19: Program size too large. The program itself is only about 74K. But is there a limit on the number of variables or the size of the variable table? From what I see, we've got about 3200 different variable names defined in the program (before it stopped accepting more). The program itself consists of !Comments and IOLISTs.

Any insights would be appreciated. Thank you!

I've got a file with a secondary key of:
PO_Date/d + PO_Num + Cust + ShipTo + Seq

I can read directly through the file with no problems. But if I want to grab the first entry in a group and skip the rest of the Seq values, I issue:
read (F,key=PO_Date$:PO_Num$:Cust$:ShipTo$:$FF$)

It always goes to the end of file at this point. The file is created properly, with the first field descending and the remaining ascending. Am I missing something?

Thanks, all!

I'm creating a temporary text file so it can be completely done before dropping it into the final destination directory for export. This time, I'm printing the lines to a *memory* file. However, when I try:

create file OFile$ from (OFile)

to create the disk file from the memory file, it throws Error #13. Is this appropriate? Do I have to create a REAL file to be copied?

Thanks in advance!
