Harry,

This functionality is pretty favorable for a generic object or called program, passing the "file, kno, begin, end, where"

When I trace a program in one environment I get this.  Centos7  to Windows via windx SSH
Any Ideas of what to try to fix it?  Nothing other than Host -> programs selected.

Thanks Mike,

Have had a copy of the OLE safe array logic for years.   Works fine on a windows server. 
I've never been able to successfully use the OLE interface from Linux.  Always get an error too difficult to figure out somewhere.   *obj/excel almost worked.  At the bottom is an error probably tied to the largest windx string size which I am not sure of but 30,000 characters got the same error.

Devon,

Retried today and it works as expected. 

I had just set my 2018 license and had not rebooted when I got the error.  Yesterday I was getting red text and a syntax error doing x=x$ and vice versa on line one and two with line numbering off, (my normal), and could save the program with warnings.  Since it was all syntax errors on save,  it was blank on re-opening.  I think the 2018 was a Direxions version so perhaps it updated, or a reboot corrected the issue.   

Otherwise very convenient indeed as this is one of the few typos I am prone to make in UltraEdit text coding and should fix itself on pasting.   

Had some questions on these system parameters and was wondering if
anyone has experience to share.

'AC'         Auto convert numbers & Strings
Appears to be a command line input only parameter.  Both Editors choke in 2018. 
Since it is new in 2017 I assume there is a reason for it, perhaps SQL? 

'AD'         Auto-DIM's an array.
Does the Auto Dim just work on {all} assignments? 
Tried  for loop and got the expected error assigning an array element to an undeclared array element. 

'BT'         Binary Test: 1st Read
Not sure how this is different.  Thought isz always meant binary.

This one looks useful.  But I still get an error 43 on a 17 digit number and 15 digit plus 4 commas mask.  Does it need to be combined with something? 
'F,'         Suppress Commas on Numeric Overflow

On a new RedHat install, I am getting a lot of special characters
For instance when I type  the following, the replies are unintelligible.
I do not see an term=ansi /export term in the instructions.  Would that help?

The static download to the clients works well for stuff that doesn't change often like button images and avoids repetitive network load.  Not answering your question, but I don't see a large upside to creating the dll for distribution or client loading given Austen's observation other than obscurring your graphics.
