Is "_Tbl-Type" really supported in 8.x versions?

Posted by francois.caron on 16-Jan-2018 08:19

Hi,

I try to compile on Progress 8.2 the script provided in this article https://knowledgebase.progress.com/articles/Article/P105742

but I get the following error message:

** Nom de champ ou de variable inconnu _Tbl-Type. (201)    [Field or variable unknown]
** P:\AppCSPQ\ASUR\Dev\test3.p Ligne 10 incomprise. (196)

However, in this second article https://knowledgebase.progress.com/articles/Article/P128230 , the same attribute is used and it's suppposed to be supported on 8.x versions.

I'm wondering why it doesn't compile.

Thanks

The first KB article is for 9.x (Progress) and all OpenEdge (10.x and higher) versions.  Progress was renamed to OpenEdge at that point.  Version 8 not supported because that field doesn’t exist in V8 schema.

OK but why it's used in the second article which the code shown is supposed to be supported by 8.x versions?

FOR EACH _File NO-LOCK WHERE _TBL-Type = "T",

   EACH _Index NO-LOCK WHERE _Index._File-Recid = RECID(_File):

       DISPLAY _File-name _Index-name.            

END.

The 'where_tbl-type = "T"' clause is used to select application tables.

As an alternative, you could use:

where _file._file-number > 0 and _file._file-number < 32768

That should work on any version.

KB article has been modified to remove reference to version 8.

OK but anyway it seems that a lot of attributes in this script are not supported (unknown) in 8.2:

** Expression apres -- "BUFFER  hBufferHandle" incomprehensible. (247)

** P:\AppCSPQ\ASUR\Dev\test4.p Ligne 15 incomprise. (198)

Widget-type non reconnu pour la fonction CREATE widget. (3184)

** P:\AppCSPQ\ASUR\Dev\test4.p Ligne 16 incomprise. (196)

Attribut inconnu SET-BUFFERS utilis‚ dans widget:attribute phrase. (3406)

** P:\AppCSPQ\ASUR\Dev\test4.p Ligne 17 incomprise. (196)

Attribut inconnu QUERY-PREPARE utilis‚ dans widget:attribute phrase. (3406)

** P:\AppCSPQ\ASUR\Dev\test4.p Ligne 18 incomprise. (196)

Attribut inconnu QUERY-OPEN utilis‚ dans widget:attribute phrase. (3406)

** P:\AppCSPQ\ASUR\Dev\test4.p Ligne 19 incomprise. (196)

Attribut inconnu GET-NEXT utilis‚ dans widget:attribute phrase. (3406)

** P:\AppCSPQ\ASUR\Dev\test4.p Ligne 23 incomprise. (196)

Attribut inconnu QUERY-OFF-END utilis‚ dans widget:attribute phrase. (3406)

** P:\AppCSPQ\ASUR\Dev\test4.p Ligne 24 incomprise. (198)

The main goal was to supress all CR/LF in a specific field ('details') of a specific table ('acheteur') by adapting it for this purpose. I'll forget that, unless I can find another similar script working for this version.

Thanks for your  support.

Yes, that is true.  The code does not run under Progress 8.x (which is 20 something years old).
