Tagxxx() functions

Post by Karl-Heinz »

Hi Robert and Chris,

While trying out some Tagxx() functions i noticed some problems. The sample uses a structural and a non-structual compound index. Each CDX has 3 Tags

-TagCount () does not differentiate whether a CDX is specified or not. The func always returns the number of all available (6) TAGs.

-The Tag() function needs a parameter check since I always have to type e.g. Tag ( , 1) instead of Tag (1)

-My FP-DOS Order() results are different than the X# Order() results. I created a Order_Fix() function that shows the same results as FP-DOS. Maybe someone from the VFP community verifies that ?

the required DBF and CDXs are attached.

Code: Select all


/*

	FP-dialect
   
	xsharp.core
	xsharp.rt
	xsharp.vfp 

*/

FUNCTION Start( ) AS VOID 
LOCAL cPath, cDBF, cCDX AS STRING 

    ? RddSetDefault() // "DBFVFP"
    ?
    
	cPath = "d:test"
	
	cDBF = "small.dbf" 
	cCDX = "small1x.cdx" 
	
	
	DbUseArea ( TRUE, , cPath + cDBF )  // auto opens small.cdx  
	
	DbSetIndex ( cPath + cCDX )  // open small1x.cdx
	  
	DbSetOrder ( 5 )
	
	? "Total No. of Tags" , DbOrderInfo(DBOI_ORDERCOUNT )  // 6    ok 
	?  
	? "No. of SMALL Tags" ,  DbOrderInfo(DBOI_ORDERCOUNT , "SMALL" ) , "must show 3" // 6 instead of 3  , VO shows correctly 3
	? "TagCount() SMALL" , TagCount ( "SMALL" ) , "must show 3" // 6   instead of 3
	? 
	? "No. of SMALL1X Tags" , DbOrderInfo(DBOI_ORDERCOUNT , "SMALL1X" ) , "must show 3" // 6 instead of 3  , VO shows correctly 3
	? "TagCount() SMALL1X" , TagCount ( "SMALL1X" ) , "must show 3" // 6   instead of 3 
	? 
	? 
	
	FOR VAR i = 1 TO TagCount() 
		 ? Cdx (i) , TAG_FIX( i ) , TagNo ( Tag ( , i) ,Cdx(i) )  
	NEXT
    ?

	? "*" , Order("small" )		// wrong  "d:testsmall1x.cdx"

Karl-Heinz ,

Thanks for the report. This is indeed not correct.
We'll fix this, but this will not be included in build 2.5 that we'll release any time now.

Hi Robert,

should i open a ticket ?

BTW. I subscribed to the "Announcement" option a few days ago, but I didn't receive a notification about the new build. When I log in, i see the button text "Unsubscribe", so I'm registered, right ? Did anyone who signed up receive a notification ??

Karl-Heinz,
Yes please open a ticket.
And w.r.t. the announcement: I see no subscription to the Announcement forum in your forum profile.
I have added this for you now.
There are several others (Wolfgang, Johan, Karl) who were subscribed to this forum and they should have received the notification.

Robert,
Nope, no mail. Got two from the forum re my Xide question, but none other...
EDIT:Strange, while sitting at the strand, i saw a message on the mobil, about 17:53 - but back in the house it seems to be gone. Never mind...
Regards
