unresponsive local variable on a NT Form
« on: July 21, 2020, 10:59:34 PM »
Hello,
I have an app with NT 11.40 and a local variable (byte, no validity checks and Entry ) on a NetWeb Form
My problem is that  there are in a case statement, 8 choices under this local variable and the code is not recognizing the selection.

The variable is called lBreakType
The 8 options are displayed on a Form
and obviously depending on which option is selected, determines the code to run
The embed is Validate All  3End
I have  not edited this code for some time, last leaving it working.

Is it possible NT11.40 now requires Updates to be on a different embed
I have tried the code on the new embed Validate Update but no difference.
I am repeatedly selecting  lBreakType option = 4
(Excuse the stops they are there for a quick and dirty check)
Any guidance as to what I should be looking for?
Thanks
best,
Richard

 an exert of the code:
 IF p_web.GetSessionValue('lBreakType') = 0
            STOP('lBreakType = 0' )
      ELSIF p_web.GetSessionValue('lBreakType')  > 1
            STOP( 'lBreakType GREATER THAN 1' )       
      END 
       
       
      CASE lBreakType !Check whether a Break has been selected
       
       
      OF 0    !Nothing Selected
          loc:alert = p_web.translate('Selection of a Tea or Meal Break ') & ' ' & p_web.site.RequiredText 
         
      OF 1    !AM Tea Break Start Selected     
                 do something and update

Hi Richard, this line:

CASE lBreakType !Check whether a Break has been selected

must be

CASE p_web.gsv('lBreakType') !Check whether a Break has been selected

Thanks for that - yes I have now have  that but for some reason I cannot get it set  the SetSessionvalue wont  work anywhere....
as TRACE is returning 0 for  p_web.gsv('lBreakType')

This code
 IF p_web.GetSessionValue('lBreakType') = 0
            STOP('lBreakType = 0' )
      ELSIF p_web.GetSessionValue('lBreakType')  > 1
            STOP( 'lBreakType GREATER THAN 1' )       
 END

Is not working.
I know the value is 4  which suggests that the setting is not working
So where should I force the SSV once the selection has been made?

The routine was working on NT 11.27 and ST 3.15
However, Without changing any code following  the upgrade to NT 11.40 and the latest ST - it failed.

Hi Richard,

I recommend you
a) set it back to the way it was working before and
b) post an example app so I can duplicate the issue here.

Debugging by random-guessing is seldom fruitful.

cheers
