    Question [SOLVED] Dbtool - does the 2. SQL Width Scan w/Fix Option only fix the tables with errors?

    To only apply for table 61 you need to enter 61 not all for <table> It has been quite a few years since I used DBTool to adjust padding but the last time I did I recorded the screen and if any help have listed: DATABASE TOOLS MENU - 10.2B...

    Understanding Temp-Table Records

    Because DISPLAY ONE is appearing in the REPEAT block and straight after you create the temp-table it will display the current temp-table created thus you see all the temp-table records and numbers being created from 1 to 174. For DISPLAY TWO it is not in any block and is just displaying a...

    Question how to display browser fields dynamically

    Firstly, the row display trigger is the wrong place to hide and view browse columns so needs to be applied in a separate place. Secondly, to hide or view a browse column you use the VISIBLE attribute. This article hopefully will help: https://community.progress.com/s/article/P167681

    Error Error with ODBC - Date Field

    I have rarely had to access data via ODBC or SQL so do not know the cause, but wonder if the date for that particular record is being stored incorrectly. Are you able to read records using ABL code and if so and the value is an invalid date value can you correct the value? If not, does using...

    Question Locate table errors from "dbtool" report

    As Tom points out, DBTOOL is just giving information of the problem table and fields not the actual RECIDs of records that are the cause of the error. One idea is you could adapt the code in this article to list RECIDs/ROWIDs/key index fields so you know the specific records...

    As Cringer points out this works as expected and the attached images show this: PDSTest1.png - Variables defined for the whole procedure and the internal procedure are listed. PDSTest2.pmg - Only variables defined for the internal procedure are listed because they have the same names as the...

    How to get selected row in Browse

    Is the button in a completely different procedure to the browse and thus does not know anything about the browse? So you cannot do something like this to see if a row is selected in the button trigger?: message browse brws:focused-row browse brws:num-selected-rows view-as alert-box. If this...
