You may have noticed things look a little different.

This is because we upgraded our forum to enhance security and take advantage of the latest features offered by the forum software.

The biggest change is to the forum theme. We now have a theme that lets you customize the look and feel to your personal taste.

You can select between a Light and Dark theme mode using the button at the top of the screen to the right of the bell icon.

You can also customize the theme color by clicking the pallet icon at the top right.

We are pleased to announce that PxPlus 2024 (v21) is available for download.

PxPlus 2024 includes new features to keep your applications safe, secure and modern

• The Harvard Business Review reported a 20% increase in cyber security data breaches from 2022 to 2023. To protect your application and your customers' data, PxPlus 2024 is updated with the latest Security modules.

• In speaking with the developer community, we learned that many developers are using Visual Studio Code in other areas of their development teams. PxPlus 2024 includes a new extension to Visual Studio Code, an industry-leading code editor that is the preferred choice for many developers.

• In today's competitive environment, the look and feel of an application is equally important as the functionality. PxPlus 2024 includes modern PxPlus toolkit interfaces showcasing Dark and Light modes, and new tools to update the look of your Nomads and non-Nomads based applications.

• Webster+, launched in 2021, provides developers with the optimal toolset to convert your application to browser based. PxPlus 2024 continues to enhance Webster+ with the ability to create and maintain screen library objects using a Web browser with Webster+ Inspector.

• We made it even easier for you to design your application screens for NOMADS and Webster+ with the new File Maintenance Generator Enhanced Layout.

Introducing our seven part video series on PxPlus 2023.

These videos will showcase many of the new features of PxPlus 2023 highlighting both Webster+ and the PxPlus Database interfaces.

• Webster Setup
• Database Linkages
• Create File Maintenance
• Updating Data Elements
• Using Ordinal keys
• Using the Query System
• Using the Report Writer

For full details on this release please see our Release Info page.

Look at the PxPlus Report writer as a means to generate the report. 

From there you can directly create reports as PDF or HTML (amongst other formats) depending on your needs.

For further clarification on this issue:

When you create a composite string you are creating a variable that when referenced is constructed on the fly from the variables defined in the IOLIST (or parsed in the case of update).

So in your example you have defined a composite string params$ whose value should be derived from the variables param.id$, param,name$, and param.value.

The problem stems from the fact these, as they are true variables, will not be saved when you exit the ON_CREATE or any Method call.  Also as true variables they cannot be defined as properties or local values within the object in the hopes that this will preserve their contents.  The logic that builds the composite string when you reference params$ only looks at defined variable list and not any object related elements.

Normally when running within an object and a variable is referenced the system will look at the property and local variable list to see if the variable is defined and, if not, proceed to the list of true variables.  Composite strings only look at the true variable list as the variable names are dynamically created from the composite string variable name and element in the associated iOLIST.

Actually why not just pass a variable to contain the object handle into the initialization call, set it during initialization, then during the finalization pass the same variable and drop the object.  The variable you pass in should remain localized to the current Query session.

There are any number of ways to accomplish this but the easiest might be using ED+.

Simply load the program you want and launch ED+,  Select the Edit >> Find & Replace >> Find option from the menu bar. 

This will bring up the Find window where you can enter STRING1 and press the ALL button to highlight all occurrences. 

Now if you want you can enter a regular expression, press the .* button enter PRINT|INPUT and press ALL to get all PRINT or INPUT words.  Any regular expression can be used.

There are also things like the LV command line that will list all variables.

Or if you want to migrate your utility, likely you simply have to save it in _cmd/somename then load your program and enter somename to have the system run your code.  The PGM function should work pretty much the same as BBx.  The _cmd directory should be in directory where you started PxPlus.

You would need to test for _EOM$ = $02$ in your 'change/Click' logic.

Actually I generally test for $02$ or $0D$ which is double click or ENTER thus allowing clients which don't want to use a mouse or how have trouble clicking twice rapidly to use the keyboard and just press enter.
