BR Forum

I haven't had any time, very busy week, but I finally dug up BR 4.2 release notes where some HTTP client documentation lives.
Coincidentally, I need to write a BR program that involves HTTP client using GET and POST to talk to a web server. So I will try to post an example asap.

I don't have a sample of using http=client, but I do have samples of uploading text and/or JSON data to a BR web server via POST, as well as getting data from a BR web server via GET. This is not the same as what you asked for, so not sure if this helps any. But if you are interested, I'll dig aroun...

This what the JSON looks like in "pretty" print: { "Level":1, "oper":41, "opername":"MZ", "codes": [ 10, 4, 32, 65 ] } The initial opening curly brace { means that we are looking at an object. On the contrary, "codes", a "key...

I found a Client/Server STARTDIR bug: If your STARTDIR path contains spaces, you will get a 10054 error described here: http://brwiki2.brulescorp.com/index.php?title=10054 Putting quotes around the STARTDIR path does not remedy the problem. Here are some examples: logfile=C:\MyCorp\BR\brlistener_log...

I tried both John's approach and Gordon's approach. They both work and they both took about 0.04 seconds for a 50 MB file with 35000 records. Both approaches are MUCH faster than reading it the way I was doing it with KEYONLY - that took 0.4 seconds, 10 times slower! I guess using KEYONLY makes sens...

There are 2 problems with this function: 1) it only works with keyed files (but that's OK for me because most files I work with are keyed) 2) The way I generate the form statement assumes that the key spec is 'C', so if the key is actually N or B, or some other spec, it won't work I think. "for...

You mean like this? It DID turn out to be faster... !-------------------------------------------------------------------- def library fnrecordsinfile (flname$,kfname$;___,keyform$,datafile,nextkey$*100,nextrec) library 'fileio' : Fngetfilenumber open #datafile:=Fngetfilenumber:'name='&flname$&am...

I want to write a function to give me an ACCURATE record count in a keyed BR file, NOT counting deleted records. We know that LREC counts deleted records and we can't always perform a COPY -D to purge the deleted records in a multiuser environment, as the file might be locked. So instead, here is th...

In BR when you redirect the output of the DIR command to a file, file names longer than 30 characters get truncated. Is there a workaround for this? I am working with a large set of files with all kinds of very long names (30 to 50 characters on average), and need to be able to read these names in B...

When you all disabled SMB2, did you switch down to SMB 1.5? Or SMB 1.0? I seem to still have problems getting kicked out of BR with no error message even after switching from SMB 2 to SMB 1.5

I take that back. We turned off SMB 2 and are still getting reports of people getting kicked out...

Is anyone else using Client/Server BR 4.31 with a Windows server and Windows clients?

If so, what is your Windows server OS version and Windows client OS versions?

When I use "@::" everything works fine, but when I do not, the file doesn't get saved to the server for some reason... On another hand, back to the previous issue: We disabled SMB 2, which seems to have solved the problem with users getting kicked out, but cost us performance-wise... Luis,...

Thank you, Luis, I will try this solution... On another note, I am using PDFLIB.dll to print to PDF, and it works fine for regular BR, but NOT in Client-Server. Here is my open statement: open #255: 'name=PDF:/Adobe PDF,PrintFile='&save_name$&',recl=1000',display,output In non-client server,...

We are having problems using Windows Server 2012 R2 with BR - errors mainly related to file input/output, network errors, record locking and file locking. I've tried both Client/Server and non-Client/Server versions of BR. I've also tried BR versions 4.2, 4.3, and 4.31 - none of them are working wel...
