The purpose of error 2130 is to protect a program from being edited by a different user once it is loaded. The fact that one person uses EDIT ~ or any other means for modifying a program doesn't seem to override the need for this type of protection. I suggest that you rename a program that you need ...

After discussing this with Dan, I am of the opinion that providing a partially blocked edit feature would be unwise. Entering partially blocked fields can be tricky, particularly if the user arrows across or hits the delete key. It would be a mistake to allow single entry of sensitive blocked inform...

The question has been raised how are RSS feeds viewed. An RSS READER is necessary for this. You can use the Latest Headlines tab in your Firefox toolbar, or go to Firefox add-ons and search for RSS. There you will see a plethora of user rated RSS readers that can be integrated with Firefox. I suspec...

One thing that this changes for me, is now I can begin to delete all of the forum emails I get because they are being saved in a searchable area. Up to now I was saving them for reference.

FYI Concerning PDF printing.. Unlike the release notes, the PDF facility requires a slash after the colon, even though no filename is given in the Name= term. This will be corrected in the next release. e.g. This should work, but doesn't: Name= PDF:, Printfile=work123, ... This does work and will co...

[BR_forum] Bar Codes

Larry- When you say that BR works with any installed font, that tells me you are using NWP. Is that correct? gordon On Wed, Jun 3, 2009 at 12:34 PM, Larry <ltietz@verizon.net ( ltietz@verizon.net )> wrote: Thanks for the help.  We do have a bar code / label printer that works just fine - it has a la...

"you now would have to search your system for all the calls to fn_whatever and see which optional parameters are being used and which are not… then (½hour later) you’re ready to insert a new variable into your def" Not at all. As long as you inserted any new passed optional definitions ahe...

[BR_forum] OOP and BR!

There are a couple of misconceptions here. First, John, what I am describing is: DEF FN_WHATEVER(FIRST_REQ,SECOND_REQ$;FIRST_OPT,SECOND_OPT$,local1,local2,local3$*50) If you need to pass an additional parameter you place it ahead of local1. As for the source line length, that has been expanded to 20...

I realize it would be useful to have a way to declare local variables. However, in the final analysis optional parameters can be used, with proper naming conventions, for local variables. And functionally nothing is lacking because all such variables are created fresh on the stack each time a functi...

[BR_forum] Index Files and "V" fields

If you use BH or BL you don't need to be concerned with native byte sequence. The issue is not Windows vs Linux. It is Intel vs non-Intel. Intel (and knock-offs) store binary data in low to high (unnatural) order, whereas IBM and Motorola chips store bytes in high to low (natural) order. BH and BL o...
