Re: Sequence of actions in a button

The automatic action is always the last thing 4D will execute.

Re: Number formating problem when connecting via Citrix

Hi Dave,

I have seen similar problems on Windows machines.  Check the regional 
settings to make sure the Date, Time and Number formatting is setup as 
you would like for use with your database.  The Windows settings 
over-ride what you have setup in the forms.  On Macs, you should also 
check the Date and Time preferences -- as these can cause problems with 
date and time formatting.  I'm not sure about currency formatting on 
the Mac.

HTH,
Jack Harvey

Thanks Dave.  I think you may have answered my question here.  I'm getting
confused between the return value of a method and the returned value of a
SOAP declaration.  I was thinking that the returning value has to be set as
a $0 argument, and that the SOAP DECLARATION statement was simply changing
the WSDL so that an external application could understand the name and type
of the $0 variable.

However if I am getting this right, the SOAP method returns its value into
whatever is declared as the SOAP Output value, right?  Therefore the 4D Text
Array type is 'legal tender' here.  And the $0 value is irrelevant.

Can you confirm I'm understanding this correctly?  

Thanks,
Myles

A SOAP method may return one or more outputs and is not just limited
to a value that can fit in $0. You may return:

-- a normal $0 result.
-- a process variable
-- a process array

Pretty much all of the data types are supported, including BLOBs. You
can return three arrays as easily as one, you just need to make three
calls to SOAP DECLARATION.

It might be more helpful if the SOAP DECLARATION command were named
BIND 4D VALUE TO SOAP VALUE. Something like that... All SOAP
DECLARATION does in this case is::
-- help 4D figure out how to configure the automatic WSDL file
-- tells 4D which of the available values to include in a response

So, returning multiple arrays is really a snap. Just be sure to:
-- populate the arrays normally

Check the Windows system settings for number and date formatting on the 
Citrix machine.  That's the machine that is running 4D Client, so maybe 
the system formatting is set to something weird and 4D Client is 
picking it up -- like it does for date formatting.

It's a long shot, but it's the first thing that came to mind.

This is the new behavior of the 4D Preferences window.  If a preference 
is not "appropriate" for the structure file, it is invisible in the 
Preferences window.  This relates to 4D structure files that were 
upgraded to 4D 2004 or created new in 4D 2004.  Some preferences set 4D 
to be compatible with older versions of 4D.  What this basically means 
is that when you create a new structure with 4D 2004.2, some 
preferences are not needed.  So 4D doesn't display them and let you 
access the compatibility feature.

In your example, you can no longer set the platform for a database.  4D 
always uses the default platform -- Windows 2000/XP or Mac OS X.  So 
newly created structure files with 4D 2004.2 don't have this 
preference.  If you open a structure file created with an earlier 
version of 4D, the preference is available.

Re: Newbie Webservices Questio

Myles,

In 4D, simply declare your arrays as usual and indicate the proper  
type in the SOAP DECLARATION (text array, longint array, ...).
I have it working with Excel and VB .NET.
If you are sending arrays in your soap call (receiving arrays in 4D),  
they must be declared in the Compiler_WEB method or 4D will not  
populate them.

cheers,

Thanks Tim and Jack. I am having the problem even with a new database. (I 
created a new database and used the built in template called invoicing). 
This makes me think there is not much I can do on the 4D side. 

I find citrix a little confusing at times. Correct me if I'm wrong, but 
every Citrix connection is new instance of Windows 2000 on the Citrix 
server. When I connect to the Citrix server I can go to the control panel 
called Regional settings. I don't see anything strange there. Is there 
anywhere else I should check?

(BTW - 4D Windows 2000 clients connecting without Citrix do not have this 
problem.) I am wondering if I should reinstall 4D Client on the Citrix 
machine.

Any other suggestions would be appreciated.

Re: 4DIC TCP_ReceiveBlob in 6.5.8?

Dan,

I have been faced with the same problem.
I am successfully using 4D internet commands version 6.7.1 with 4D 
version 6.5.9r2 on MacOS (9 and Classic), in development as well as 
compiled+merged and server.

I've seen some crashing problems when trying different combinations of 
4DIC and 4D 6.5.x, but the above mentioned works fine.

Re: SRP - Print to disk


Doug

SRP does this when it reaches a page break.

It's a bug, unless it's been fixed in a later release (Mike?).

We don't bother with SRP's Print to Disk feature, if someone wants a custom
export, we code it and deploy it with FootRunner.

If it's not fixed in a later release, then I wouldn't mind seeing this fixed.
