According to the documentation, we can get detailed file information by opening a directory with opt="+INFO". This provides:

• File name
• File type ("F" for file, "D" for directory)
• File size in bytes
• Date created
• Date last modified
• Date last accessed

I'm presuming this is the order the data comes back in. If that's the case, how can I get a Creation date that's after the Last Modified date?

Thanks for any clarifications.

Is there a way, other than AUTOEXEC.BAT or PxPlus.ini, to set the value of FID(0) on the client before establishing a WindX connection through SimpleCS using .windx files?

Thanks in advance!

We've just upgraded from v13.10 to v17.10 (YAY!). We created a process to go through to update all of our client PCs at locations around the country. Installations ran fine.
Until this particular laptop.
I went through the usual routine, but when I got to the point of testing the connection, I got an Error 61 (see attached). I tried uninstalling/reinstalling, to no avail. Looking through other posts, I tried to access WindX Security from the underlying PxPlus window, but it's not there to reset.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks in advance!

Since migrating from BBx a couple of years ago, the users on the system love the Viewer. However, they hate that they can't copy text from the viewer to paste into Excel, Word, whatever.

Does anyone have any insights into a text-oriented Viewer alternative that would allow that? Currently, we're only outputting basic text (with some occasional bold modifiers); no 'text' or other mnemonics.

Thanks, all!

Is there a way to prevent a tab on a folder from being created based on Pre-Display factors? Example: Prevent the tab from being created based on whether contingent files exist. If the file(s) exist, create the tab, else skip it.
Thanks!

v13.10 almost on v17

While we can get where we are when outputing to a serial file by checking KEC() for the file, is there a way to determine how many characters have been sent to a piped channel? If I open (ch)"|process_prog...", can I know how much went out before I close (ch)?

Thanks!

I've tried to use CREATE FILE across a WindX connection, but it doesn't seem to work:

create file "[wdx]C:\Users\James\Documents\Foo.pdf" from "/tmp/Foo.pdf"
generates Error #12. If I open the file and try:

create file "[wdx]C:\Users\James\Documents\Foo.pdf" from (1)
it generates Error #13.

I'm guessing that this is not part of the current design. If not, could it be considered for the future?

We're going through the process of upgrading our legacy system to modern times. WAY back, there was a field count limit to files, and we've still got a number of "master files" that are split between 2 or 3 actual files with similar names. We're defining each of these in the Nomads Data Dictionary.

When we do get to the point of being able to combine the component files into a single master file record, is there a way within Nomads to blend the files? E.g., Copy the primary Customer Master record to a new file, then add the fields from the secondary (and tertiary, etc.) file to the end of the new file. I know the fields can be copied out to the Global Dictionary and back in, but is there some other method that could preserve the field sequencing so we can minimize the manual intervention?

Thanks for your thoughts!
