BR forum is back up
After an unauthorized impact to our server that took the wiki and forum down, I needed to use a consultant to figure out how to recover the forum. This person was unavailable for some time. The forum has now been updated and appears to be fully functional. Note that I cannot login under my regular b...

As indicated via the email list, there will be a series of webinars concerning how to use SQL in BR applications. In other words, how to migrate your BR internal files to an SQL server of some type. This announcement is a status report on the webinars. Luis has been supporting SQL in his application...

Top of Page
One of the more frustrating things to do is to attempt to stabilize a page, both the background image and the overprint data, when printing multiple pages using either PCL or NWP. I have found that beginning the printing with TOP0 or TOP4 etc., before printing the background image works most of the ...

Re: Record Layouts
Have you considered using an independent (Parent=NONE) window and not affecting the non-GUI window?
So if I wanted to convert some lookup sub-windows to ScreenIO, they would pop up and then go away.

Re: Record Layouts
Ahh found it. It says it was authored by Chris. I'm going to add that function to the context manager.
While I'm at it .. what do you do to partially upgrade legacy programs (with ScreenIO) that don't run in GUI mode? Do you need to switch to GUI mode in order to utilize ScreenIO?

Record Layouts
Does anyone here have a utility program that creates filelay layouts from context records?
Filelay layouts are used by by FileIO and/ScreenIO, and Context data is used by ODBC.

Re: proc parameters
I have the impression that John uses the PROC ED command to work around his preference to avoid using the EDITOR config statement because the EDIT command itself responds to a simple E command which can be accidently entered. I also have the impression that John wants to be able to call N++ from the...

Re: Mixing Keyed and Relative File Access
When you are working intensively with keys and record numbers I would encourage you to consider using ISAM indexes . I don't know if you can mix index types, but it's worth checking. You could use the program I submitted above to check that. ISAM indexes can be normalized very fast with Index Reorg....

Re: Mixing Keyed and Relative File Access
I seem to recall that some years ago we added the updating of keys when REC= was used to update a file properly opened with keys. However, it would be very useful to write a test program for checking this issue, including secondary keys. Any volunteers? As for efficiency, the address out sort is ver...

Re: Thanks to Susan and all Presenters
Greetings. While recovering the Business Rules cloud server I included a fairly complete history of our conference presentations, including the conference books. We are missing the thumb drive files for 2012 and 2016. If anyone has them I would appreciate getting a copy to post. We do, however have ...

Event Driven Architecture and concurrency
It has come to my attention that the world of computing has rapidly evolved in the past 3 or so years. Concepts that originated much earlier have been and are being adopted at an accelerating pace. In particular, the emphasis on having many or at least several "objects" processed by a sing...

At long last we have recovered the server that was seriously hacked last year. It now serves the wiki, the forum (bulletin board), the web site, and the FTP site. In order to recover we had to install an upgraded OS fresh and reload everything from backup. Then shortly after doing that viruses in th...
