Language / conversion of ADJN(
« on: March 20, 2019, 01:13:47 PM »
I am in the process of re-hosting a Business Basic application which uses a function ADJN(. This function converts a numeric value to an 8-character string. Is there any ProvidexPlus equivalent?

This software generates complete screens, such as:

The issue is the "A" which is not double quoted.

Programming / detect embedded quotes
« on: January 25, 2019, 01:32:34 PM »
Does someone have a decent program to identify the location within a string of embedded quotes?
We keep having an issue with operators typing embedded quotes that drives out system nuts.

Is there any problem with labeling the FID(0) with something *other* than a value beginning with a "T"?

Thin Client/WindX / Windx Licensing Issues
« on: October 18, 2018, 11:40:13 AM »
This network is about 30 Windows 10 PC workstations and a Centos 6 Linux server. The licensing issues are getting worse.
Originally, we had one user on her PC that failed to connect and obtain a license from the Linux server using telnet. Ports, cables, the entire PC was changed out with no success. The Windows firewall is turned OFF. There is no anti-virus on this machine.
Other user are now experiencing this license refusal. On first launch, the operator must try 10-12 times to acquire a license.
Where do we look to resolve this issue?

Programming / Windx cannot find Server
« on: September 20, 2018, 12:30:03 AM »
I have a Windx operator on Windows 10, cable connected to the Linux server using two monitors. Occasionally, the Windx side stops "Unable to acquire license from server in time allowed." In an office with 30+ users, this is the ONLY operator and workstation to experience this issue. We have restrung the cable, changed switches and routers, can find nothing to correct this error.
Can anyone offer a suggestion how to fix this, where to look?

Programming / Re: Windx connection fails to execute Linux program
« on: August 09, 2018, 11:01:42 PM »
Allen,
We use "dv" to manage processes which are running independently on their own "terminals" in the event of a error or some other issue. There is no operator on such terminals.

Programming / Windx connection fails to execute Linux program
« on: August 09, 2018, 06:11:45 PM »
Linux system, Windx emulators, 40+ users, SSH or telnet connections.
Attempting to SYS("dv") and the system immediately returns to the "-}" prompt without running the program. Why is this and how to stop this behavior?
dv = Doublevision http://itivity.net/doublevision/

Programming / Re: Very Slow Program LOAD
« on: August 09, 2018, 06:04:18 PM »
Mike,
An INPUT statement is essentially instant. Using only one FIN( function in the called program reduces the delay to an acceptable amount but it is still noticeably slower than an INPUT statement.
