"mod Harbour is an extension module for Apache that provides full support to execute PRGs and HRBs files from the web. If you are a Windows developer, you can build the web from your Windows 10 and then simply run your PRGs on Edge or Chrome powered by Apache on the Windows 10 bash using the mod Harbour extension. When everything is ready, simply take your PRGs to your dedicated Linux web server where you can install the mod Harbour for Apache." -- .~. Might, Courage, Vision.

[NF] X# and Visual Studio 2019
by Johan Nel 27 May '19

27 May '19

Hi VFPers and X# lurkers, After some requests about other programming languages MS released a new build for VS 2019 and X# is now fully supported in VS 2019. See the announcement on the XSharp website. https://www.xsharp.info/articles/vs-2019 I have also posted this message on Foxite: https://www.foxite.com/archives/x-fully-supported-in-vs-2019-0000466364.htm A new build of X# is taking shape and I will keep you up to date regarding VFP syntax support.

RE: Filtering Oddity

Gene, Not to beat a dead horse.... While I think these may have been mentioned in various places.... 1) It used to be that a Select statement would be optimized by VFP to open the source table again, in another work area, and then set a filter on it. This was a problem when people thought they had a cursor and updated the contents, only to find out they had edited the actual data. So they added a "nofilter" clause that forced VFP to create a new cursor and not use the original approach. 2) I haven't seen any discussion on set relation - which might also do what you want (but I haven't actually tested it so may be wrong.) 3) You can use the browse for .... command (I tended to use this over set filter, especially since I could then use "browse last" as well.) As I recall, this worked the same as set filter but didn't require the literal values that set filter do. 4) Of course, Select is an option - but then you may have to guess if VFP did #1 or if it actually created a cursor and your edits are thrown away when you close it. 5) I can't remember, but did set filter allow you to reference a variable? And, if so, did changing that variable then change the effect of the filter? If so, this might also be an option.

I inserted a debugging browse statement in a branch that I was going to add some error reporting to. The branch, oddly, did not get executed. Dig, dig ... use cwkf set filter to validto>={^2019.01.01} count browse Lots of rows. Oh, the filter needs to be extended. set filter to filter()+" and empty(wfccccd)" VFP: Nice try. (Actually, "Command contains unrecognized phrase/keyword." set filter to (filter()+" and empty(wfccccd)") VFP: Don't be silly. (Same error.) Putting an avaluate() around it does not work either. ("Syntax error.") I do know that I can do f=filter()+" and empty(wfccccd)" set filter to &f but in the heat of debugging, I would prefer just one statement. Is there a way to extend a filter in one statement without retyping the current filter expression? Sincerely, Gene Wirchenko [excessive quoting removed by server]

Hi all I have data like this: Tablename Auditdate Auditsize CTRAN 01/01/2019 25 PTRAN 01/01/2019 30 STRAN 01/01/2019 35 CTRAN 01/02/2019 30 PTRAN 01/02/2019 35 STRAN 01/02/2019 40 CTRAN 01/03/2019 35 PTRAN 01/03/2019 40 STRAN 01/03/2019 45 And I want to process it in such a way that it ends up like this TableName 01/01/2019 01/02/2019 01/03/2019 CTRAN 25 30 35 PTRAN 30 35 40 STRAN 35 40 45 I realise that the dates would have be converted to valid field names. Anybody have ideas/suggestions? Does anybody know of a tool that would achieve this? Many thanks Paul Newton

You can just watch the value of variable f. A valid filter expression stored in variable f will not produce error. What are you trying to do when you said "...would prefer just one statement.... in the heat of debugging"?
