Based on feedback from our developer community, we will be introducing a PxPlus extension for Visual Studio Code in PxPlus 2024 which is scheduled to be released later this month.

Programming / Re: Source code formatter
« Last post by pwhirley on Today at 10:56:24 AM »Thanks for the input.
I have not used line numbers in my code in many years, so changing line numbers doesn't bother me at all. I also haven't used ED+ in many years, but I'll check it out and see if I can make use of it. I really don't want to have to load individual programs to reformat them. I would prefer to be able to process a whole folder full of source text at once.
Josh, you might want to check out the Eclipse plug-in. Notepad++ is a good editor, but Eclipse is a full-featured integrated development environment which you can use at no cost. With the plug-ins available (https://eclipse.sagemas.com) you get a decent editor and the ability to decompile programs, recompile with error flagging, a to-do list, very sophisticated search tool, integration to SVN or Git and much more. You can automatically save your programs, classes and libraries to multiple locations such as a project space and a test system.
I'll let y'all know if I write something to format or if I figure out how to automate the existing ED+ tool.

« Last post by Allen Miglore on Today at 10:15:51 AM »*IT is much better at working with programs with line numbers. ED+ just treats the line numbers as part of the code, with no functionality to renumber or maintain auto numbering as you insert lines. What I wish *IT had was code formatting with indention of loops and {} if blocks (and code folding would be nice too). It's easy to get lost in long, deeply nested sections. I work with both, depending on if I'm willing to remove line numbers, which for much existing code I can't.

If I remember correctly with ED+, applications and programs that use line numbers would renumber not maintaining the original line numbers. It's been a long while since I tried utilizing ED+ but it was too cumbersome to use with the application I modify and maintain.
I would LOVE to see an add-on to either Notepad++ or Visual Studio Code (Preferred) for PxPlus.

Simply load the program into ED+ then select Tools >> Reformat from the menu bar.
You can then save the resultant as a sequential file.

Programming / Source code formatter
« Last post by pwhirley on May 01, 2024, 05:03:09 PM »Has anyone out there written a source code formatter for PXPlus programs? I use Eclipse with a plug-in developed and maintained by Fred McGuirk. It does a great job of decompiling PXPlus programs into text source, but it does not attempt to do any pretty formatting. I am considering writing a tool to do the formatting (i.e. remove LET, replace "THEN" with "{", indent IF and loop constructs, etc). I don't want to write it if someone else has already done so.

ODBC / Re: ODBC Service Crashing
« Last post by Mike King on April 29, 2024, 05:48:48 PM »Jeffrey
The issue may be related to invalid data in your file. PxPlus doesn't, by default, validate that the data you write into the files matches the data dictionary specifications. On the other hand, ODBC access relies on the fact that the data adheres to the specifications.
What might be happening is that there is a field whose contents is larger than expected thereby causing a memory access problem.
To check this try running the Verify Data option on the Database export utility. Basically pretend you are going to export your data to a database, launch the export utility from the data dictionary and select "Verify Data". It should read through your file and check that the file contents adheres to the Data Dictionary specifications.
Good luck

ODBC / Re: ODBC Service Crashing
« Last post by Devon Austen on April 26, 2024, 09:40:14 AM »The crash is happening in a Microsoft Windows DLL: ntdll.dll.
Is this only happening on this one Windows system?
Is it reproducible on other systems?
