Check the value of the 'NE' system parameter.  If off, it will report all errors to the ultimate parent program.

Programming / Errors Bubbling Up
Last post by Jeffrey Ferreira - March 26, 2025, 10:50:59 AM
Hi List,

we have the following situation.
program 1 calls program 2
program 2 calls program 3
program 3 calls program 4

program 4 errors out.
we have a generic error routine where we click a diagnose button.
at just one of our accounts when we click Diagnose pxplus exits/bubbles up to program 1 instead of remaining in program 4.

does anyone know what I might have set to cause this.

Programming / Temporary addition of Index
Last post by pmpenchoff - March 24, 2025, 02:48:44 PM
Good afternoon list,

I am trying to add an index to a VLR file which already has the maximum alt keys of 15. I realize that I could drop one and add a new one but I would require exclusive access to the file. Is there already a function or tool which I could use to index (sort) a file temporarily (maybe a memory file) during the instance of the session?

Many Thanks in advance,

Thin Client/WindX / Re: WindX on Linux
Last post by Mike King - March 19, 2025, 11:54:49 AM
Its been a long time since I did this but if my memory serves me right I created a .BAT file for windows that set the  environment variable then launched pxplus.

Thin Client/WindX / WindX on Linux
Last post by vnges - March 19, 2025, 11:33:54 AM
I am trying to install WindX on Linux using Wine. When I start the application, it states that I have not set the TERM environment variable and it is set to UNKNOWN. I have exported TERM=ansi and TERM=winterm, but it continues to state that the terminal is UNKNOWN. The specific error message:
ERROR:
****
You have either forgotten to to define set the ENVIRONMENT variable TERM the terminal type, forgotten to EXPORT it to Providex, or have set it to UNKNOWN. Please correct and restart ProvideX.

Our application is Terminal based (not web enabled), so I am able to succesfully connect and enter the numbers representing the menu options and move through the application, but it is not usable.

For reference, I am attempting to run this on a Debian 12 installation using the Wine version available in the repos or installed via Flatpak (Bottles).

I searched the forums and found a couple of previous Linux/Unix installations that appeared to be successful, but am not able to replicate.

Any suggestions?

Registration and Setup / Re: User slots
Last post by Michael Greer - March 18, 2025, 04:25:03 PM
Devon,

Can you share the rules for when PxPlus shares user slots.  If I have a +20 and -20, is that the *same* user slot.  One would think.  In my current context folks are logging in to unix and then firing up the PxPlus application.  If they initiate 2 sessions does this burn off one or 2 slots?

Thanks!
Michael

A positive number means a user slot is being used, while negative means it is sharing an existing user slot.

Registration and Setup / User slots
Last post by Michael Greer - March 18, 2025, 11:00:35 AM
I have a customer using facetterm to connect to a linux box and run a Pxplus app.  When they make the first connection their user slot (tcb(27)) shows up as -20.  When I connect a second time from the same IP address the user slot shows up as 20.  Is this the same user slot?  Why is one positive and one negative.  Thanks!

Hi All,
I wasnt sure what section to put this under. Does anyone have any experiences they could share re: integrating their PxPlus Application with Square POS.
