It sounds like BREAK FILE nnn would be used quite a bit.

Good suggestion. I'll put it on the 4.4 list.

4.3 is in "bug fix only" status.

The idea in calling a custom function is to allow one program snippet to check for any number of conditions. Defining a debug function would not affect normal processing because normally the BREAK IF command would not be issued. I thought about issuing a temporary, immediate statement that would be ...

Gabriel.. I'm sure you realize that some of your challenges are not experienced by the majority of BR users. Most of us do not have to deal with someone else's spaghetti code. On the other hand I have a feature in mind that would solve your problem, along with many others. I didn't want to pre-annou...

A few items I have not been aware of that ease debugging are: * The BREAK command can name a user defined function instead of a label or line number. This will cause the program to enter step mode when the function is entered. * Break line references can refer to clause numbers as well. e.g. BREAK l...

In this case your intent is to access web services. This can be done with HTTP client. My earlier posting was concerning the provision of web services. For that you would need to use the BR Web Server. You can do both in a single application but the 2 are not the same and they don't overlap in any m...

The most popular underlying protocol for supporting Web Service communication is HTTP. Please note we are not speaking of HTML. HTTP is a stateless (each transaction stands on its own) protocol for managing the transfer of data. Typically the protocol that underlies HTTP is TCP. TCP handles the reli...

Another Win 10 background process imposed by default is called Telemetry by Windows. It is essentially data gathering on everything you do under Windows. I found it to be consuming an inordinate amount of CPU and disk processing on my Win 10. Here is a procedure for disabling it: https://winaero.com...

Do you use FileIO?

Microsoft, in its infinite wisdom, has once again intruded upon its users to do them a favor and speedup their future use of applications by downloading many megabytes of data in anticipation of the users possible use of those applications. It doesn't tell you what it is doing, or let you select whi...

I have pretty much avoided all Microsoft products except Windows and Visual Studio over the years for obvious reasons (mainly their propensity to intrude). So I switched to Chrome some time ago. Then, when Google started snooping around and gathering information on anything I do on the web, I switch...

Anywhere that serves hot dogs is ok with me.

OK Everyone.. Please connect now.

So we will have only 2 people attending?

Please check in here (rsvp) if you would like to attend a 1/2 hour webinar this Wednesday.

OK Google meet it is.

Now who wants to attend?

Greetings. We had originally planned to do a "10,000 foot" seminar wherein we would provide an overview of the tools we recommend for development of web applications in conjunction with Business Rules applications. Since we didn't do that last fall and the conference is just around the cor...
