  • So not just me forgetting stuff! I feel a little better now ;-)
  • So you did @ DonBakke. Wiki documentation and everything! I knew that as I have seen that in SRP code but for some reason I keep forgetting some of the helpful things I come accross...
  • Ahh. I see your Use Case now. Good options for everyone!
  • I get that @DonBakke. To rudimentarily reiterate what you and @AusMarkB indicated I could replace my OSREAD/OSWRITE with something like: OSOpen FullyQualifiedFileName To filevar then CurrByteMark = Dir(FullyQualifiedFileName)<1> OSBWrite…
  • What are the efficencies in using Dir() or GetByteSize in a OSRead? When logging to OS I normally just do something quick and easy like: declare function Get_File_Format $Insert APP_INSERTS ; // To get CRLF$ and TAB$ SaveTextFile = 1 …
  • @AusMarkB. You are correct! And Double Whammy points for you for joining both Yoda and Don's approved slogan!!
  • I've already dropped the Yoda so I can't do it again but....... Well explained @DonBakke!
  • @DonBakke. Much appreciated. Will Do.
  • @DonBakke, What are these magical tools you speak of? I saw no such product reference on the Website. Closest I got was Sync Server which didnt seem appropriate for this.... Have you been holding out on me? ;-)
  • For those that didnt get the Revlation blast that included the original KB issue as well as a related recent Sprezzatura blog post ... We’re sending this email to alert you to a possible issue in your OpenInsight or Arev system. If your system i…
  • Thank you @DonBakke. That is indeed the missing piece of gold. @JaredBratu, this one is for you:
  • Barry, that is true as far as I can tell too. In order to install the service we use wrapper.exe to install the wrapper.conf (via the batch file). The port actually comes from the eserver.cfg file...which from what I could see is not linked to a p…
  • @JaredBratu Actually I would be interested in that . I have a number of sites with multiple OI instances running. I know that works just fine. I also have a number of sites that have a shell of our "ITMS" system pointing to "OPTO" data just to ho…
  • @DonBakke be like:
  • @albertkurniawan Try and format the date first so you are not passing in a OI date. I like using the SRP_DATE "FORMAT" service for this (I find it more intuitive than fmt/oconv). It is conceivable that both BTree.Extract and RList process the dates…
  • @Don_Bakke. Awesome! I think the beard and glasses give you away? ;-) Hope y'all had a fantastic Chrismas and look forward to a sucessful 2023!
  • Self portrait @DonBakke?
  • Shhhh!!! You're showing our age ;-) Next thing you wil be telling me "not the Dart..definately not the Dart"
  • HaHa!!! Gold @AusMarkB! I like it! I like it a lot... For our non-Australian friends, Don's is a smallgoods company here in Oz (Deli-style cold cuts like salami, frankfurts etc.) Their slogan (and website from memory) is "Is Don, Is Good". Als…
  • Its nice to know we all have those special few cases ;-) Thanks both for the feedback. I think we dont want to go too fancy, nor bullet proof. We just want to give them a reason to pay. Tip the scales in our favor so-to-speak without building a fo…
  • @DonBakke Always present? Sort of. It would definately be controlled manually. I think the idea is to reset that date according to whatever we install that requires a payment that they will try and avoid. New work? Payment terms + leeway. New Lic…
  • Thanks @DonBakke. Definately not bulletproof. I was banking on most of our (newer) Customers not knowing they could just run OInsight.exe ;-) I am intrigued by the API idea. I will discuss it more internally.
  • Thanks @KevinFournier and @AusMarkB That totally makes sense then as to why there is no return!!! I already knew the 'workaround' (i.e. the right way) but its good to have some reasoning behind the why.
  • @AusMarkB Glad to know we aren't the only ones ! Your explanation makes sense and lines up with what we are seeing. I guess internally 20100 must be the start of the Goldilocks of numbers whereby it doesnt try IConv as a fallback...
  • Definately OI. 20100. {nice round number that. conincidence ...?} With the 'fix': 11/01/2023
  • let me take out the fix code and drop a debug to double check....
  • @BarryStevens SRPEditor.ocx supercedes SRPUtil.ocx for all newer versions. However, SRPUtil.ocx is needed if you use any older version of the Editor. Kevin explains here: https://forum.srpcs.com/discussion/1039/srp-editor-3-1-0-0-ocx/p1
  • @DonBakke, Spot on. About the easiest change I have ever made and way better than the rabbit hole I was about to go down! You, sir, are a scholar and a gentleman!
  • Turns out we were both right. It was from Revelation, courtesey of Jared. I reviewed my past emails and Don put me onto Jared who put my onto: https://revelation.com/revweb/KB_Articles/KB0299.htm {for those that like it from the source}
  • Thanks all for the contributions and explanations and clarifications. @DonBakke. Your list is similar to mine (ignoring the windllfiles copied into 'root' by install). I included oiscrctl.dll because my installer wanted it. My only follow up ques…
