    ABL and Internal-Entries attribute

    Hi, I tried to use "THIS-PROCEDURE:INTERNAL-ENTRIES" statement inside a .cls file, but the compiler returns "this-procedure may not be referenced in a class (12894)". When I call it from another program on my object reference, I get a "Could not locate element ... in class ... '' error...

    ABL : dynamically invoking methods

    Hi, I've searched documentation about dynamic programming in ABL, and I've found information about dynamic-new and dynamic-cast. But there seems to be no implementation of "dynamic-method" or "dynamic-invoke" making it possible to call a method whose name is in a variable. Was my searching too...

    Compile Preprocess issue...

    Hi, I am facing kind of a problem when I compile this following code with the PREPROCESS option : DEF VAR maVar AS CHAR NO-UNDO. maVar = "Ex : "" `abc` "" = "" `ghi` "" ... ". DISP maVar FORMAT "x(40)". The syntax is correctly checked, and the execution result is : [Ex : " `abc` " = " `ghi`...

    ABL and XREF

    Hi, I am wondering if there is a magical option for the XREF compilation which could give me more information about data-members of other classes. As an explanation, here are 2 sample codes : maClasse.cls CLASS maClasse : DEF PUBLIC VAR cls1 AS CLASS maClasse2 NO-UNDO. DEF PUBLIC VAR...

    FIND + methods call

    This is just a warning, for those who do not want to spend time wondering why their program does not work... In ABL, things like that : FIND myTable WHERE myTable.Field1 = getProperty1() AND myTable.Field2 = getProperty2() AND myTable.Field3 = getProperty3() AND myTable.Field4 =...

    Memptr to LongChar

    I have a MEMPTR which contains 40000 characters. I would like to retrieve those chars into a char variable, which is impossible with a standard CHAR var (limit : 32k). That's why I use a LONGCHAR. The following code works, but I think there is a better way to do it. DEF VAR ptr AS MEMPTR...
