Bonus TIPS for Successful Posting

Try a Search First
It is highly recommended that a Search be done on your topic before posting, as many questions have been answered in prior posts. As with any search engine, the shorter the search term, the more "hits" will be returned, but the more specific the search term is, the greater the relevance of those "hits". Searching for "table" might well return every message on the board while "tablesum" would greatly restrict the number of messages returned.

When you do post
First, make sure you are posting your question in the correct forum. For example, if you post an issue regarding Desktop applications on the Mobile & Browser Applications board , not only will your question not be seen by the appropriate audience, it may also be removed or relocated.

The more detail you provide about your problem or question, the more likely someone is to understand your request and be able to help. A sample database with a minimum of records (and its support files, zipped together) will make it much easier to diagnose issues with your application. Screen shots of error messages are especially helpful.

When explaining how to reproduce your problem, please be as detailed as possible. Describe every step, click-by-click and keypress-by-keypress. Otherwise when others try to duplicate your problem, they may do something slightly different and end up with different results.

A note about attachments
You may only attach one file to each message. Attachment file size is limited to 2MB. If you need to include several files, you may do so by zipping them into a single archive.

If you forgot to attach your files to your post, please do NOT create a new thread. Instead, reply to your original message and attach the file there.

When attaching screen shots, it is best to attach an image file (.BMP, .JPG, .GIF, .PNG, etc.) or a zip file of several images, as opposed to a Word document containing the screen shots. Because Word documents are prone to viruses, many message board users will not open your Word file, therefore limiting their ability to help you.

Similarly, if you are uploading a zipped archive, you should simply create a .ZIP file and not a self-extracting .EXE as many users will not run your EXE file.

    Variable type mismatch error

    I am getting the following xbasic stack error when running a page with a UX component on it. I am having trouble understanding what is going on. The error seems to say that there is something wrong with the alpha five code itself when it tries to run the template, or am I not understanding it at all. Help, please!

    Code:
    Thu Feb 14 16:11:52 2019
    
    Thread: AppServerWorker8
    Request URI: /__a5RunDialog.a5w?__pageName=cust_register.a5w&__dialogFilename=CUST_REGISTER&__alias=CUST_REGISTER&__unsaved=no
    Script: " /__a5RunDialog.a5w"
    Line: 169
    x_out = a5_ajax_dialog2(tmpl)
    pTemp = ValidateXFile(pRules, value)
    Script:TEMPLATE line:1
    
    Variable type mismatch: Cannot assign data of type 'L' to variable of type 'N'.
    Execution Stack:
    0#1 evaluate_shared_private(           
    0#37 OOhttpdServerClientMIME(ptemp,"AppServerMain")
    0#2 A5WCallResult = evaluate_a5w_to_response(page_contents,Response,quote(" " + eval_settings.global.Request.ScriptName),eval_settings,EVALUATE_A5W_TIMEOUT,RequestBundle.RequestInfo.Filename.Path)
    0#169 x_out = a5_ajax_dialog2(tmpl)

    Re: Variable type mismatch error

    You'd have to post which Alpha build you're using.

    What this working? Did you update anything? Change anything?

      Ver. 12.3 Build 2682: 4435
      I am running this page and component on my test instance. I was running it before without issue. I did not change anything. I also uploaded an earlier version of the component, but the error is the same.

        Sorry, that build is a bit too old for me... 4 years. I would re-start that instance... see it that helps.

          No, that did not work. Funny thing is that the same page runs fine on other instances??? I also reinstalled the app server used for the instance, too. I also tried assigning the instance to a different app server file on the server.

            This error occurred erratically on one UX component, and also on another UX using that UX as a foundation. I rebuilt the UX from scratch and it is now working.
            The problem seems to be caused by repeatedly changing and saving the component, which also included commented out text and unused x-basic functions. Somehow the UX became corrupted and it sometimes worked but many times did not.
            So again, the only solution seems to be to rebuild the component from scratch.

              Further update. My new form was corrupted, giving the same variable type mismatch error in the x-basic stack when I changed the error settings, under properties. I was also trying to set an xbasic validation rule.
              So one or more of these settings has to do with the corruption. I cannot recover from the corruption, again.

                I have narrowed the cause down to validation Xbasic for the confirm_password field
                this code causes the error
                Code:
                if alltrim(e.data.password) <> alltrim(e.data.confirm_password) then
                validate_confirm_password.hasError = .t.
                validate_confirm_password.errorText = "Passwords must match."
                end if
                However, even if you comment out the code, or delete it, the error continues. However, a work-around is to change the code so that it cannot be evaluated, for instance, by specifying a field name in the evaluation code that does not exist. This does cause an Xbasic error stack log error, but the UX will submit and otherwise work correctly.

                Does anyone know what is wrong with the code above that is causing the error?
