DEV: Extend Baan code without sources

[Punitha]

You are right Mark! "pre-select" is the idea...

I have attached here, my modifications to the template generated by "RUSH".

I have highlighted in "YELLOW" on my modifications.

Thanks everybody,

hi all,

All discussion looks great and really worthwile. One thing that is confusing for me. The library (4GL Programm) generated by the RUSH, how I use it? I mean where that library (4GL Program) will be add/use, with the actual session or where ? for example I want to extended the functionaliy of a print session (cisli2405m000). Can I add the generated library (4GL program) to a device script to load the print session in the bakgroud and print the report?

Thanks in advance

I never have tested it but this maybe another solution.

bic_cstub6.1 [-s] [-a] -d <library> -o <object>

this function converts a baan dll ( I suppose and program script too ) in a c source. Of this way ( if this works like help says ) let you have the source of all object of baan and changes their funcionality.

Anybody have tested something about?

Hi All!
Could you describe all problems and solutions with check.input functions and g_check_input_funcs?
I saw the one (but there are several):

The original script:

declaration:
 extern	domain tcdsca	one,two
 long error
before.program:
  error=true
choice.cont.process:
before.choice:
 check.all.input()
on.choice:
  message("Are you here? How could you manage this?")
after.choice:
  error=true
field.two:
check.input:
     error=false
field.one:
check.input:
   if error then
    message("Something wrong")
    set.input.error("")
   endif

In this case you'll see the questions

The Rush script (only part!)

before.program:
  parent.object.function.id = get_function(parent.object.dll.id,"before.program")
  parent.object.error = exec_function(parent.object.dll.id, parent.object.function)
field.one:
check.input:
  parent.object.function.id = get_function(parent.object.dll.id,"check.input.one")
  parent.object.error = exec_function(parent.object.dll.id, parent.object.function)
field.two:
check.input:
  parent.object.function.id = get_function(parent.object.dll.id,"check.input.two")
  parent.object.error = exec_function(parent.object.dll.id, parent.object.function)
choice.cont.process:
before.choice:
  parent.object.function.id = get_function(parent.object.dll.id,"before.choice.cont.process")
  parent.object.error = exec_function(parent.object.dll.id, parent.object.function)
on.choice:
  parent.object.function.id = get_function(parent.object.dll.id,"on.choice.cont.process")
  parent.object.error = exec_function(parent.object.dll.id, parent.object.function)
after.choice:
  parent.object.function.id = get_function(parent.object.dll.id,"after.choice.cont.process")
  parent.object.error = exec_function(parent.object.dll.id, parent.object.function)

In this case you'll see the message "Something wrong"

The sample is simple, but the idea was, can i recognize the check.input's order?
Maybe I did some mistakes, sorry

[lbencic]

I may be missing something too, but I think this would depend on the Form Field Order. If the field 'one' is first on the field order, it would generate this message. If it is after the field 'two', it should not.

Did not test this though, is that true? If not, maybe you can trace the calls and see when that variable is set to false.

[goooch]

Hi Lisa!
The Field order is not responsible for check.input order while check.all.input works
I think the order of sections check.input in the program is responsible (if I change the order of the sections in the last sample and the result will be the same as the first).
The function g_check_input_funcs has this order, and this function is used
where check.all.input happens
Ok, I can manage the order of check.input sections
but how can I be sure that the order is true (the same as the original)?
Of course, i can follow the field order, but if the originator did not followed this way?

I met this problem with tdilc1122 program. I' ve done the rush script with the alphabet order and has an unexpected result. Restoring section in the field order I have it Ok. I (Everybody?) need the universal remedy
Thank you

did any one try extending a DAL using rush dll

[SriksAdi]

Hi All,
I am on BaanIVc4 - SP15.
I tried to use RUSH with Sales Orders and Display Customers List.
In both the cases, I could successfully generate the script. But on compiling the generated script, I am facing these compilation errors:

ptccom1510010( 56): Error: Function 'before.program' already declared.
ptccom1510010( 65): Error: Missing RETURN(..) in function 'g_check_input_funcs'
ptccom1510010( 77): Error: Missing RETURN(..) in function 'library_has_maintable'
ptccom1510010( 89): Error: Missing RETURN(..) in function 'tcedi0052.get.next.btno'
ptccom151001g( 116): Error: Function 'library_has_maintable' already declared.
ptccom151001g( 121): Error: Inconsistent number of args function 'g_check_input_funcs' line ptccom1510010(61)
ptccom151001g( 122): Error: Function 'g_check_input_funcs' already declared.
ptccom151001g( 123): Error: 'count' not declared

I have commented a few functions before.program(), g_check_input_funcs(), library_has_maintable(), tcedi0052.get.next.btno and g_check_input_funcs and it went through.

Does it have a fix or shall I continue to comment the script ?
On problem I forsee in commenting is the before.program of the parent would not be executed.

PS: Attached is the script generated by RUSH

Hi...
I tried using the extended code, I create a dll - tccomdllrushwith rushdll.bc
and 3gl program script tccomrush3gl,compiled, create run time dd.
Now when i try to run that 3gl through Run Program / Session in menu browser, message : cannot start session appears.

Please help me out.

[mark_h]

The session script should still be a 4gl script - so I am not sure what you are referring to.

[kysersoze12]

Highly useful utility .Excellent work buddy .
I was confused when first time I saw your scripts .I had to think really deep to understand what you did .I now realise when we compile 4gl script .It is compiled into 3gl .In 3gl object our session choices and field sections are stored as functions .Great work .

I also wanted to inform you that I got an error "array index out of bound" while creating decompiled script of tdsls4101m000 .

This part of code did not work for me :(. I am trying it on LN and my server is on NT.

temp.file = creat.tmp.file$(bse.tmp.dir$())
options = "-e " & strip$(directory) &  " -qo " & temp.file
ret = run.baan.prog("bic_info", options, RP_WAIT)
|hopefully the above works on NT!

run.baan.prog returns 1 (ret=1)

I have read some threads and understood that you have to be physically on the NT server. Is there a solution for this problem?

Any ideas?

Hi ~VAMSI,

I am copying a standard baan form into my dev VRC then I am adding a new field to it .And I am including this into the program script (Qkey).
However at the execution at the form level the field is not recognised and I get " unknown form field refb.f" error message.

The question is it possible to add new fields to the original baan session?
Then how to do it?

Thanks for your Help!
