Err=99 - NEW() not supported

(1/2) > >>

Lawrence_Leavell:
Somehow, both of our systems are reporting NEW( not supported.
How did this occur? How to correct it?
<<< *winproc, level 3 >>>
0036 IF %nomads=0 THEN LET _X=NEW("*obj/nomads")
?SSN
1700-664-0666769

Mike King:
The NEW itself may not be the issue.  It may be that some aspect of the initialization of the Nomads object is not supported.  Some possible causes:


* Activation key is for prior release
SSN just indicates what EXE is installed, not what release is active/enabled.  Issue a PKG command to confirm the activation level. 
* Wrong library installed
You have a newer library installed on the system than the EXE
* You are running and older WindX version than the host.
This can cause the Nomads initialization to detect that some functionality it needs is not available

James Zukowski:
Different, but somewhat related:
We rattled our brains a bit here trying to instantiate the *obj/excel object. We were also getting Error #99. Then I tried:
X=new("[lcl]*obj/excel")
and it worked. Could the documentation be updated to reflect the self vs client (WindX) usage, please? I presume it would also apply to *obj/word.

Thank you!

Mike King:
You can only instantiate the interface to Excel or Word on a system that runs Excel or Word.  This means if your host server is Linux/Unix you MUST use WindX and include [lcl] or [wdx].

If however your host is Windows the system will determine based on the presence of the prefix which Excel/Word to load/interact -- the one on the server or the one on the workstation.

Mike King:
Oh -- I should have added, although it probably goes without saying, you need Excel / Word installed.
