Cannot compile generated UIB code with strict compile option

Posted by Patrick Tingen on 01-Nov-2017 05:51

I have enabled the strict compile options in DevStudio (Project Properties > Progress OpenEdge > Build > Compile) to accept only full keywords. When I create a new window from within DevStudio that same file holds abbreviated keywords in the generated parts, hence generating errors. The following code is an example of what is generated:

/* Define the widget handle for the window                              */
DEFINE VAR C-Win AS WIDGET-HANDLE NO-UNDO.

/* ************************  Frame Definitions  *********************** */

DEFINE FRAME DEFAULT-FRAME
    WITH 1 DOWN NO-BOX KEEP-TAB-ORDER OVERLAY 
         SIDE-LABELS NO-UNDERLINE THREE-D 
         AT COL 1 ROW 1
         SIZE 80 BY 16 WIDGET-ID 100.

The keywords 'VAR' and 'COL' are causing problems here. If I change it to full keywords, the UIB changes it back to abbreviated keywords the moment I change anything and save it. Is this a known issue?

I thought that this had been addressed before 11.7 shipped but I don't see it in our bug tracking system.  I have logged bug PSC00361794 for this issue.

Hi [mention:931f7f12516e4daa930b60341926d260:e9ed411860ed4f2ba0265705b8793d05] [mention:e666fffb14004b29b4bad87b731999a8:e9ed411860ed4f2ba0265705b8793d05] We're about to hit this issue as well when we enable the strict compile options. Was there any resolution to that Progress bug that was raised (PSC00361794)? I can't see any reference to it in any of the 11.7.x release notes.

Daniel and Patrick, The existing bug is marked as medium priority. Do you feel this should be bumped up?
