oBrw:report() still need help..

[James Bott]

Harvey,

I think I mentioned before (in another thread) that you should consider moving your filter data to a database so you don't have to recompile your program to change them.

It appears that you have three groups of data (three filters). I assume that you have an accounts file, so you should be able to add a field to that file that contains the filter group. Then you can tag each account with the group that it belongs to. Of course, the tags could be changed in a data entry screen so you don't have to hard code them and they could be changed at any time.

This is just an example--I would have to know more about your filter groups to propose a good solution.

This is probably not something you want to get into now (during your conversion) but it is something to think about for the future.

Regards,
James

Antonio,

There is a bug in xbrowse. When you have a filter set and oBrw:refresh() is called, it crashes with the error below. This is the line where it is crashing. I don't know why it thinks eval() is a method.

Code: Select all  Expand view

            if ! ( ::cAlias )->( Eval( bFilter ) )

Code: Select all  Expand view

Antonio,

OK, I think I have a solution. bFilter was not actually a codeblock. This is from the method DelRepos().

Regards,
James

Code: Select all  Expand view

elseif ! Empty( cFilter := ( ::cAlias )->( dbFilter() ) )
            //bFilter  :=  ( ::cAlias )->( &cFilter )
            cFilter  :=  ( ::cAlias )->( &cFilter )
            if ! eval( {|| cFilter } ) //( ::cAlias )->( Eval( bFilter ) )

Thanks to James problem solved.

I'm sure he'll be making some recommendations on xbrowse.

He has been a gem in his help....
