What’s new in DataEase 7.2?

First of all create the following CDFs:

1) Function Name: IsFile
CDF library name: osfunc.dll

Return type: String
Create 2 parameters :
1-Name: Path/File Name        Type: String
2-Name: Attributes to find      Type: Int

2) Function Name: RenameFile
CDF library name: osfunc.dll
Return type: String

Create 3 parameters :
1-Name: Old File Name             Type: String
2-Name: New File Name           Type: String
3-Name: Notify User (Y or N)   Type: String

Close and re-open your DataEase application (to register the CDF’s).

Copy and paste the following sample DQL code into a new procedure and amend where necessary (such as filenames). Compile and run:

define temp “tRet” number .
define temp “tOldFileNameAndPath” text 20 .
define temp “tNewFileNameAndPath” text 20 .

tOldFileNameAndPath := “C:\MyOldFile.pdf “  .
tNewFileNameAndPath := “C:\MyNewFile.pdf “  .

if IsFile (tOldFileNameAndPath, 00 ) = “True” then
tRet := RenameFile (tOldFileNameAndPath, tNewFileNameAndPath,”N”) .
else
message concat(“Please ensure file “, tOldFileNameAndPath, ” exists before proceeding”) window.
end

The CDF description:
Function Name: Keystrokes
CDF Library Name: demacro.dll
Return type: Int

One Parameter:
-Name: KeysString  
-Type: String

The button action should be set to [Execute CDF] and the argument (including the quotation marks) is: KeyStrokes(“_tab”) or, if a combination of keystrokes is required, the argument is KeyStrokes(“_shift(_tab)”).

if Data = blank then
Data.value := current date .
Data.show () .
end

the field “Data” will not display the current date if you go to it and press the “TAB” button.

That is because all Values in OML is text so you just have to make sure that the value you insert is also text.

if Data = blank then
Data.value := jointext(current date,”") .
Data.show () .
end

All data types in DataEase is automatically converted in DQL and BRL, but in OML you have to insure that you use the right format.

define temp “tNumberValue1″ number.

for Form1
;
tNumberValue1 := Field 3 .

list records
Field 1 ;
Field 2 ;
tNumberValue1 .

export to “c:\test.csv” .
.form header
Field1~Field2~ Field3
.items
@f[1,1]~@f[1,2]~@f[1,3]
.end
