Language / Parameter 'TJ' limit
« on: September 20, 2023, 08:08:49 AM »
I'm using the 'TJ' parameter to troubleshoot an intermittent issue and found that a setting of over 10000 causes an error 41.

1}set_param 'tj'=10000
1}set_param 'tj'=10001
Error #41: Invalid integer encountered (range error or non-integer)
1}

Will you please update the manual to show this limit?

Programming / need to skip the passworded programs
« on: August 18, 2023, 01:14:40 PM »
How can I programmatically tell if a program is passworded?
I have a process that copies all programs and I need to skip the passworded ones since *ufc errors on them.
fin() and fib() don't seem to hold that info.

TIA

Programming / Create an Excel file in Linux environment
« on: August 10, 2023, 07:26:20 AM »
Is it possible to create a .xlsx file (not .csv) in a Linux environment only. There is no access to Windows or Excel or even a machine running those. First choice would be to use only pxplus, next best would be to look for some java that might have that capability.

Just wondering if anyone else has tackled this challenge.

Programming / VLR File sizes and BSZ setting
« on: January 21, 2022, 10:24:35 AM »
For VLR files I have a note of the following file size limitations.
BSZ values and files sizes for VLR files
0=2GB, 4=8GB, 8=65GB, 12=98GB

Yet we have a VLR file where BSZ=4 and it is 28GB.
Are my notes wrong?
This is what I'm seeing:
 -}end
 -}delete
 -}?prm('MB')
  0
 -}?fin("/facts93/data/GL/GLYJNL","FILE_CREATE")
 KEYED "/facts93/data/GL/GLYJNL",[1:1:2]+[2:1:4]+[3:1:4]+[4:1:4]+[5:1:5],[1:1:2]+[2:1:4]+[6:1:10]+[3:1:4]+[4:1:4]+[5:1:5],[1:1:2]+[2:1:4

So what gives???  :)

BTW: The online documentation still shows the max file size for Pvx data files as 2GB with a note about the 'MB' param. I believe that limitation was removed some versions back.

Registration and Setup / PxBasic
« on: January 13, 2022, 01:47:28 PM »
Are there plans to update PxBasic? I notice the download is about 10 years old. Does it even run on Windows 11?
This would be for personal, non-commercial use.
