Registration and Setup / Re: SSL libraries on Ubuntu64 bit with PxPlus V10 64 bit
« on: September 10, 2020, 03:53:44 PM »
Hello Mike :
We are trying to get PxPlus V 15.10, with Windx 15.10 plugin, to connect to our PxPlus server. Like I said, it connects fine if the client is Ubuntu 16.04 (32-bit), no delay. We are currently creating Ubuntu 18.04 clients, and those are 64-bit only. The openssl version that comes with the Ubuntu 18.04 packages is 1.1.1. We followed a thread that we found online, and we now have an Ubuntu 18.04 client, that when we issue : openssl version, we get OpenSSL 1.0.2l 25 May 2017. So, in theory, we have an openssl version that is older than the "stock" version that comes with Ubuntu 18.04.5 LTS.
When we attempt to connect to our PxPlus server (which is CentOS 5.10 64-bit), it WILL connect, but takes a full 2 minutes to do so. Any other commands, telnet, ftp, ssh connect right away. We are using WINE 5.0.2 on the Ubuntu 18.04 client. At first, we tried the 64-bit WINE, but that would not connect at all, but the 32-bit WINE connects, but with the funky delay. Thanks, Bill.

Registration and Setup / Re: SSL libraries on Ubuntu64 bit with PxPlus V10 64 bit

Okay, thanks for the information.
How then, can we "tell" Ubuntu 18.04 to use an older version of SSL?
Do we have to install a 32-bit SSL, then make a symlink to tell 18.04 to use that old one?
The behaviour that we are getting now, in attempting to make an Ubuntu 18.04 (64-bit only) desktop communicate with our PxPlus V15.10 server, is that is does it, but it takes around 2 minutes to make the connection. Almost as if it is trying the SSL version that is too recent, then gives up, and eventually tries the older one? When we connect with Ubuntu 16.04 clients (those are 32-bit), they connect immediately. Bill.

Sorry Devon, I should have been more specific.
This is copied directly from the pxpreg -v command :
Professional Serial 134938, 50 users, V15, Registered
Flags:4010b032
Package 7587, Registered
Runtime, Flags:01cf0032
We are on PxPlus Version 15!

Hello List :
We are attempting to upgrade some of our Desktops to Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, which is only available in 64-bit. Prior to that, we used 14.04 and 16.04, both 32-bit, with no issues. We have installed the 32-bit architecture, and the 32-bit ssl libraries, but it still gives us grief. Do we have to apt purge the 64-bit SSL? We have been reluctant to try that, thinking that it might prevent other, legitimate,
programs from working. When we do a dpkg -l | grep openssl, we still get the "too new" 64-bit version :
root@33w9fx1:~# dpkg -l | grep openssl
ii openssl 1.1.1-1ubuntu2.1~18.04.6
Do we have to completely remove it? Or perhaps just create a symlink to the 32-bit one?
Thanks,
Bill.

Thanks Mike. Do I have to install the ODBC driver on the Linux server-side? Or is that only required on the Client?

Hello Forum :
If a PostgreSQL file cannot be OPENed directly, are there any plans to add the possibility?
Thanks,

Programming / Can a Query write its output to a *memory* file?
« on: October 28, 2019, 11:43:22 AM »
Hello Forum :
We are starting to get some of our major files properly defined in the PxPlus Data Dictionary. In so doing, we are beginning to see how powerful and quick that defined Queries can be. Can a defined Query have its output sent to a *memory* file? Thanks, Bill.

Programming / Can a MSGBOX be made to display larger?
« on: September 06, 2019, 12:51:34 PM »
Hello List :
We are moving forward, and testing some NOMADS panels. We use CALLs to the MSGBOX program for a variety of messages. Is there any way to modify the size of the MSGBOX display? We tried padding out the message with spaces, and that does modify the width slightly, until it wraps! It just seems that the MSGBOX displayed is disproportionately small, especially given the typical display size.
Also, the (ahem) aging eyesight of some of us programmers could really use a larger display! We are running Windx 15.10 on Ubuntu 14.04 via Wine.
Thanks,
Bill.

Programming / Re: Providex Plus Button return to Nomads panel after CALL directive. - Closed!
« on: July 30, 2019, 02:33:01 PM »
Hello again Mike :
We found the culprit, and it was code in one of our CLOSE_FILES routine.
We had a PRINT (0,ERR=*NEXT)'POP', that was unconditional. In our character-based programs, that never created a problem, BUT, that command closed our original panel.
On the plus side though, all of our buttons work as expected!
Our apologies for any inconvenience caused........
Bill.

So, we modified the command to an EXECUTE, and appended the MSGBOX at the end.
The MSGBOX does appear, so it is getting that far, but once we click OK on the MSGBOX, the program appears "hung" rather than returning to the original panel.
When we CTRL-C out, we are at a 2} prompt, and a DUMP shows that we are at line 1120 in /0/pxp15/lib/_winproc. The pdf file is created, and it prints, once we
modified a flag to ask it to be printed.
Thanks,
Bill.

Hello again Mike :
The program is passed a Sales Order #, and it reads several files, all of which are OPENed with UNT, and closed before EXIT. The CALLed program does not have any BEGIN or CLEAR statements. There are other CALLs that are made, each having their own EXIT. Ultimately, the program generates a pdf file of a Packing Slip. We put several ESCAPE statements in, to prove that it was executing each of the programs. One other button on the same panel calls a character-based program, the old _mwin.utl, and prompts for <Enter> to exit window. Pressing <Enter> clears the window, and returns focus to the
original panel, as shown in the attachment.
BTW, we are really starting to get pumped up about moving our character-based programs over to Nomads!

Hello Mike :
It does return to the main window, where the PROCESS "CST-MAINT","SUCU.en" command was executed, from a Windx prompt 1}. If we Ctrl-C out at that point, it is at a TCB(13)=2, in program /0/pxp15/lib/_winproc. We are on PxPlus 15.10 running on CentOS Linux, and the client stations are Ubuntu 14.04 & Ubuntu 16.04 running Windx via Wine.
The other buttons on the panel return to the panel after closing them out.

Programming / Providex Plus Button return to Nomads panel after CALL directive.
« on: July 29, 2019, 04:17:49 PM »
Hello Forum :
We have a Nomads panel with several buttons. As shown in the attached Button Properties, the button makes a CALL to a program that generates a .pdf of a Packing Slip. When we click on the button, the pdf does get created, but when the program hits the EXIT directive, it does not return to the original panel. Is there a better method to execute a program, and return focus to the original panel?
Thanks,
Bill.
