Mike, I tried doing it as you instructed, but I'm still getting the same error.

DEF OBJECT v,"*VARIANT"
v'val$="false"
v'type$="B"
PRINT v'val$
0
report'export(*v)
report'export(v) !also try this
Error #88: Invalid/unknown property name
Exception occurred (err/ret=2/0)



Have you tried setting 'VAL$ of the *VARIANT object then changing its type?

->def object v,"*variant"
->v'val$="false"
->?v'val$
false
->print v'type$
S
->v'type$="B"
->print v'val
 0
->v'val$="true"
->print v'type$
S
->v'type$="B"
->print v'val$
-1As per the docs, setting the type will cause the *VARIANT to properly convert the value.

Mike, thanks for your reply. Could you give me an example of how to pass a boolean value false because my attempts are receiving the same error?

We try:
DEF OBJECT V,"*VARIANT"
LET V'TYPE$="B"
LET V'VAL$="0"
! LET V'VAL$="FALSE" !ALSO TRY THIS
REPORT'EXPORT(*V)
!REPORT'EXPORT(V) ! also try this

The routine may require that you explicitly pass a boolean.  If so you can likely define a *VARIANT object, set its type to boolean and value then pass that.

Here is some information on *VARIANT

Devon, According to the documentation, I should send true or false. I even tested it with PowerShell and VB.NET, and it works by sending the parameter false, so the problem seems to be in how PXPlus sends the value to the method.

You will have to look at the documentation for the COM object method you are trying to execute. Maybe the arg list is different then you expect?

Here is the documentation for the *windx.utl program. AS Loren said you can use the *windx.utl;get_val to have the env() function run on the local/client machine.

https://manual.pvxplus.com?windx/windxutl.htm

Use a call to *windx.utl.  For example:

call"[wdx]*windx.utl;get_val","ENV(""SSI_BASE"")",VAL$
PRINT VAL$

Can the environment function be used to return environment information from a local machine when in client / server using WindX?

? env("SSI_BASE") returns "" because it is checking for the environment variable on the linux server, but I want to check it on my local PC.

Hi Koe, thanks for your help. Adding * to the constructor worked correctly.



Devon,about the other issue, i can confirm that this method exists. In fact, if we try it without arguments like report'export(), it works, but it displays a dialog box, and we don't want that, I have attached an image of what msg(-1) tells me, but it doesn't give me any indication of how to fix it or what might be causing the exception.
