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.

    Filter Character Variables

    Hi all,

    I have a Character field value and named "WEEK" and wrote the filter which is not working.

    Code:
    DIM vdate as D 
dim vWeekNo as c 
dim vYear as c
vWeekno = if(vdate =ctod(" "),convert_type(week(date()),"c"),convert_type(week(vdate),"c"))
vYear = if(vdate =ctod(" "),cyear(date()),cyear(vdate))

[COLOR="Red"]vFilter ="week="+s_quote(vWeekNo)[/COLOR]
vOrder="lookup(\"emp\",\"emp_id=\"+quote(emp_id),\"alltrim(Emp_fullname)\")"
 
vDaylist = table.external_record_content_get( "ws_week",\
"lookup(\"emp\",\"emp_id=\"+quote(emp_id),\"alltrim(Emp_fullname)\")+' '+week+' '+Mon_Date+' '+Tue_date+' '+Wed_date",\
vOrder,vFilter)
    So I added on the vDate filter value as,
    Code:
    vDate = {12/8/10}
    and this code works well.

    What is wrong with my filter?
    Is it because on the "convert_type()" of the vWeekNo?

    Re: Filter Character Variables

    Sorry, I see the top line of your post where you say the field is character.

    Code:
    vOrder="lookup(\"emp\",\"emp_id=\"+quote(emp_id),\"alltrim(Emp_fullname)\")"
    Shouldn't this just be.

    Code:
    vOrder="alltrim(Emp_fullname)"
    to set the order to fullname?

      your script says:
      dim vdate as d
      OK.. vdate now is blank
      Then it says
      vWeekno =if vdate is blank, do this else do that
      It is blank.. always.. each time you run the script.

        Stan,

        I think you missed my point. Here, I attached full scripts.
        When I change the vDate value, I want to get the No of week and Year value.

        My question(just realized) is this, My xDialog script event does not bring the value of vWeek and vYear.

        Do I have to use the eval(), REPLACE_PARAMETERS() or somthing else to act and refresh the No of week field?

        Code:
        DIM vdate as D 
'vdate  ={12/7/10}
dim vWeekNo as c 
dim vYear as c
[COLOR="red"]vDate = if(vdate =ctod(" "),date(),vdate)
vWeekno = if(vdate =ctod(" "),convert_type(week(date()),"c"),convert_type(week(vdate),"c"))
vYear = if(vdate =ctod(" "),cyear(date()),cyear(vdate))[/COLOR]

[COLOR="Blue"]
vFilter ="week="+s_quote(vWeekNo)
'vFilter = replace_parameters(vfilter,local_variables())
vOrder="lookup(\"emp\",\"emp_id=\"+quote(emp_id),\"alltrim(Emp_fullname)\")"
vDaylist = table.external_record_content_get( "ws_week",\
"lookup(\"emp\",\"emp_id=\"+quote(emp_id),\"alltrim(Emp_fullname)\")+' '+week+' '+Mon_Date+' '+Tue_date+' '+Wed_date",\
vOrder,vFilter) <-- Ignore Righ now[/COLOR]

DIM varC_result as C 
varC_result = ui_dlg_box( "Weekly Work Schedule", <<%dlg%
{region}
Date:| [%DATE;P=popup.calendar(dtoc(vdate));I=popup.calendar%.20vdate!vdate_Change];
week:| [$r$.5vweek];
year:| [$r$.5vyear];
{lf};
Weekly Schedule:|[.90,15vLists^$$vDaylist];
{endregion};
{line=1,0};
{region}
<*15OK> <15Cancel>
{endregion};
%dlg%,<<%code%
'Event for date
[COLOR="red"]IF a_dlg_button = "vdate_change" then
	vWeekno = convert_type(week(vdate),"c")
        vYear = cyear(vdate)[/COLOR]

[COLOR="blue"]'vLists=""   
    'vDaylist = table.external_record_content_get( "ws_week",\
"lookup(\"emp\",\"emp_id=\"+quote(emp_id),\"alltrim(Emp_fullname)\")+' '+week+' '+Mon_Date+' '+Tue_date+' '+Wed_date",\
vOrder,vFilter) <-- Ignore Righ now[/COLOR]

    a_dlg_button = ""
end if
%code% )
        Thank you

            Re: Filter Character Variables

            You need to dim the variables as shared to access values established elsewhere.

            Code:
            DIM shared vdate as D 
'vdate  ={12/7/10}
dim shared vWeekNo as c 
dim shared vYear as c
            I see values when I change

            week:| [$r$.5vweek];
            year:| [$r$.5vyear];

            to

            week:| [.5vweek];
            year:| [.5vyear];

                Do you have any idea how the "$r$" was put there? The only thing that makes sense to me is if it was supposed to be %r%.

                  I meant for "Read only".

                    The directive for that is %r%, not $r$. Link to wiki.

                      I didn't get far down your script to even look at the xdlg and clearly missed your question. I was stopped dead in my tracks as I read the first few lines.
                      Sounds like you got the issue resolved, but while you are at it you might remove these 2 lines in red:
                      DIM vdate as D
                      dim vWeekNo as c
                      dim vYear as c
                      vWeekno = if(vdate =ctod(" "),convert_type(week(date()),"c"),convert_type(week(vdate),"c"))
                      vYear = if(vdate =ctod(" "),cyear(date()),cyear(vdate))

                      They belong in the code section of the xdlg. They do not serve any purpose where they are right now.
