Problem with loading delta.df via a program

[m.blankestijn]

Hi there,

I've got this program that loads an delta.df and afterwards compiles some procedures.

To load the delta.df I use loaddf.r.

It works fine for 99,9% of the time.

Sometimes though DB changes are not made and compilation is not executed.

The problem occurs when the delta.df contains an error.

In sequence:

1 Error occurs
2 An alertbox pops demanding to be pressed
3 Program halts due to the unpressed alertbox button
3 The nightly backup procedure kill's all sessions

Is there something I can do to prevent the procedure from waiting for the button to be pressed?

Kind regards,

Marco

Hi Marco,
Try running loaddf.r from a window which contains a message-area and make sure the SESSION:APPL-ALERT-BOXES is set to FALSE.
It could write the message into the message area instead of to alert-box.

We use the character based version of progress, so we can not use the message area. Other suggestions?

Kind regards,

Marco

Another possibility could be to take the source code of loaddf.r, modify if so it wouldn't display alert-box on error and use the modified version instead.

When I'm using Load_DF or Load_D I always redirect the standard output, like this:

OUTPUT TO VALUE(cTmpFile) NO-ECHO.
RUN Prodict/Load_DF.p (cDfName).
HIDE MESSAGE NO-PAUSE.
OUTPUT CLOSE.
