4.31 String in Browse causes bad routines

[ccordes]

Hi
I am just moving to 4.31 because of some newly weird behavior in 4.30.
I had in 4.30 a browse that has some strings without fields - just display. These are generating empty-named routines. Like this -
value::   Routine

Do I have to have a field associated with every column in a browse now?

Hi Chris,

No, not a field. A unique equate.
Because of EIP being added to the browses it's important that each column has a unique equate.

In your case below you have column(s) (probably buttons) that have no equate.

Hi Chris,

Incidentally, this is not the only change that might affect your app.
Check out the version history notes - there are 5 things that have changed sufficiently to need documentation - which sounds like a lot, but isn't really <g>...

Thanks Bruce,
That did it. I thought I tried that but I guess not.

A couple of things got me - Headers with HTML - thanx for the check box
p_web.gsv(something )  in the title. Used self.gsv and set the session variable in the procedure setup. A little ugly.

BIG - moving the browse record stuff into a routine killed my hijacking of the process loop. Ack!
In several reports, I use the template report process to collect data and fill a queue. Then I finish the loop by processing the queue and letting the the template generate all the web stuff. Works great but moving the code put my break statement inside the routine. - wha-wah.
An embed just after the Do BrowseRow might help.

In this same area, I have a report that calls another process that fills in  the <TD> with another table of data. Pretty neat. BUT the div tags (I think) are causing extra line breaks. I'm still investigating.

All that being said, so far it is a worth while upgrade. I was able to add my template changes for the Suckerfish menus without incident.
And since you added the HTML checkbox for headers and such, I didn't need to fiddle with any of that.

Probably should of put all that in a separate post.

Thanks,
chris

Hi Chris,

If you rename the object in the WebHandler procedure to "p_web" then the Session values are visible from there.
Alternatively set the Page Title to anything you like. (It was blank before, so set it to '' if you prefer).

added.
