You can get a buffer field like so:
hfld = hRecord:GET-BUFFER-FIELD(i).
and then get the field's value:
DISPLAY hfld:BUFFER-VALUE.
See the docs for an explanation of what these do.

how can I check if update was successful when I run this For Each
FOR EACH products
WHERE products.name = "ProductsName":
update price = 1000.
END.
Sometimes this For Each is ok, but sometimes when record is lock it doesn't work. I need run this For Each via WebSpeed and return true when For Each is successful or false when not. How can I get this result?
You should add more details to your request, but try this it might help get you started:
procedure update_items:
define output parameter records_read as integer no-undo.
define output parameter records_updated as integer no-undo.
define output parameter records_locked as integer no-undo.
define buffer item for item.
define buffer item_update for item.
define variable retry_count as integer no-undo.
for each item no-lock:
accumulate 1 (total).
records_read = (accum total 1).
retry_count = 0.
repeat for item_update:
find item_update exclusive-lock
where rowid(item_update) = rowid(item)
no-wait no-error.
if locked item_update then do:
if retry_count > 5 then do:
records_locked = records_locked + 1.
leave.
end.
retry_count = retry_count + 1.
do on endkey undo, leave:
pause 3 no-message.
end.
undo, next.
end.
if not available item_update then do:
/*If that matters you can code for it too*/
leave.
end.
item_update.Price = 1000.
release item_update.
records_updated = records_updated + 1.
leave.
end.
end.
end.
define variable items_read as integer no-undo.
define variable items_updated as integer no-undo.
define variable items_locked as integer no-undo.
run update_items(output items_read,
output items_updated,
output items_locked).
display items_read items_updated items_locked with side-labels 1 col.
Program:It is a just maintenance program, in this one it displays the Item Code in one frame and it prompt for the input. if you enter the item code it has to displays what are the blank fields for that record in pt_mstr and display in one frame(No need to display all blank fields, just first 4 or 5 fields enough). and also in that frame only if user want to update it update directly to main table pt_mstr.
What i tried is, i just write the code for getting blank fields using buffer handle and after that i create one temp table and displaying the fields, i strucked there itself, i am unable to update fields.
My code:
/*Sample Item master Maintenance Program*/
/* DISPLAY TITLE */

IF ((hField:BUFFER-VALUE = "" )) THEN
do:
/* message hField:NAME "test" view-as alert-box.*/
find first tt_temp where tt_part = pt_part no-lock no-error.
if not avail tt_temp then
do:
create tt_temp.
assign
tt_part = pt_part
field1[j] = hField:NAME.
j = j + 1.
end.
else do:
assign

end.
end.
end.
end.
for each tt_temp:
display field1[1] field1[2] field1[3] field1[4].
end.
end.
end.
Are you sure you need your temp-tables to do this? I've created an example using only the actual table (but created a fake temp-table instead). You would have to look into data error handling, data validation, transaction, locking etc before putting this into production of course.
/*First we need some fake data */
DEFINE TEMP-TABLE ttMockedData NO-UNDO
FIELD id AS INTEGER
FIELD dataName AS CHARACTER FORMAT "x(8)"
FIELD dataType AS CHARACTER FORMAT "x(8)"
FIELD dataDescrioption AS CHARACTER FORMAT "x(32)".
DEFINE VARIABLE iId AS INTEGER NO-UNDO.
DEFINE VARIABLE iSearch AS INTEGER NO-UNDO LABEL "Search".
PROCEDURE createData:
DEFINE INPUT PARAMETER pcName AS CHARACTER NO-UNDO.
DEFINE INPUT PARAMETER pcType AS CHARACTER NO-UNDO.
DEFINE INPUT PARAMETER pcDesc AS CHARACTER NO-UNDO.
iId = iId + 1.
CREATE ttMockedData.
ASSIGN
ttMockedData.id = iId
ttMockedData.dataName = pcName
ttMockedData.dataType = pcType
ttMockedData.dataDesc = pcDesc.
END PROCEDURE.
RUN createData("Test 1", "TESTTYPE", "A TEST").
RUN createData("Test 2", "", "ANOTHER TEST").
RUN createData("", "TESTTYPE 2", "").
RUN createData("4", "", "").
/* Program starts here */
updating:
REPEAT:
UPDATE iSearch WITH FRAME x0.
IF iSearch > 0 THEN DO:
FIND FIRST ttMockedData NO-LOCK WHERE ttMockedData.id = iSearch NO-ERROR.
IF NOT AVAILABLE ttMockedData THEN DO:
MESSAGE "Not found" VIEW-AS ALERT-BOX ERROR.
RETURN ERROR.
END.
ELSE DO:
DISP ttMockedData WITH FRAME x1 1 COLUMNS SIDE-LABELS.
/* Is there an empty field? - Then we update! */
IF ttMockedData.dataName = ""
OR ttMockedData.dataType = ""
OR ttMockedData.dataDescrioption = "" THEN DO:
DISPLAY
ttMockedData.dataName
ttMockedData.DataType
ttMockedData.dataDesc
WITH FRAME x2 1 COLUMN SIDE-LABELS TITLE "Complete the data...".
/* This isn't working with temp-tables of course! */
/* Just here to make sure you handle locking! */
FIND CURRENT ttMockedData EXCLUSIVE-LOCK.
UPDATE
ttMockedData.dataName WHEN ttMockedData.dataName = ""
ttMockedData.DataType WHEN ttMockedData.DataType = ""
ttMockedData.dataDesc WHEN ttMockedData.dataDesc = ""
WITH FRAME x2.
/* This isn't working with temp-tables of course! */
/* Just here to make sure you handle locking! */
FIND CURRENT ttMockedData NO-LOCK.
END.
END.
END.
ELSE LEAVE updating.
END.
I am new to progress and I am trying to figure out how to get this working. My task is to Get a list of integer values from user as semi colon separated and message the highest and lowest value on that list. Till now I have used an entry function to help me get just the integers entered by the user one after another. like so
repeat I = 1 to totalEntries:
m = entry (I, Userinput, ";").
display m.
end.
After this I would like to find out the maximum value of all the entries. how can I do this since maximum function accepts more than one value for comparison.
There is no built in function to give a maximum or minimum number from given list of numbers. You need to write your own logic as in most of the programming languages. Here is an example:
DEF VAR i AS INT.
DEF VAR nlist AS CHAR INIT "1;2;7;3;6;9".
DEF VAR imin AS INT.
DEF VAR imax AS INT.
imin = INTEGER(ENTRY (1, nlist, ";")).
imax = INTEGER(ENTRY (1, nlist, ";")).
REPEAT i = 2 TO NUM-ENTRIES(nlist, ";"):
IF INTEGER(ENTRY(i, nlist, ";")) > imax THEN
imax = INTEGER(ENTRY(i, nlist, ";")).
IF INTEGER(ENTRY(i, nlist, ";")) < imin THEN
imin = INTEGER(ENTRY(i, nlist, ";")).
END.
MESSAGE imax.
MESSAGE imin.
As Austin sad, there is no built-in function in Progress to give a maximum or minimum number from a list.
In your comment, you've mentioned that MAXIMUM(1,2,3) worked. Yes, it works, but you have to figure that you're passing three parameters to the function, not a list of numbers inside a single CHAR variable.
To solve your problem you can use the solution given by Austin or you can use two functions that receive a CHAR variable with semi colon separated values and return maximum or minimum values.
Here is an example, based on your code.
FUNCTION iMax RETURNS INTEGER
( INPUT pData AS CHAR ):
DEF VAR iOutput AS INT NO-UNDO.
DEF VAR iCount AS INT NO-UNDO.
iOutput = ?.
DO iCount = 1 TO NUM-ENTRIES(pData,';'):
IF iOutput = ? THEN DO:
iOutput = INT(ENTRY(iCount,pData,';')).
NEXT.
END.
iOutput = MAX(iOutput,INT(ENTRY(iCount,pData,';'))).
END.
RETURN iOutput.
END FUNCTION.
FUNCTION iMin RETURNS INTEGER
( INPUT pData AS CHAR ):
DEF VAR iOutput AS INT NO-UNDO.
DEF VAR iCount AS INT NO-UNDO.
iOutput = ?.
DO iCount = 1 TO NUM-ENTRIES(pData,';'):
IF iOutput = ? THEN DO:
iOutput = INT(ENTRY(iCount,pData,';')).
NEXT.
END.
iOutput = MIN(iOutput,INT(ENTRY(iCount,pData,';'))).
END.
RETURN iOutput.
END FUNCTION.
/****************/
Define variable NumberEntry as character view-as fill-in no-undo.
Define variable UsersInput as character no-undo.
Define variable i as integer no-undo.
Define variable totalEntries as integer no-undo.
Define variable m as character no-undo.
Define variable n as character no-undo.
Define button bFind.
Define frame main numberEntry label "Enter numbers separated by semi colon" skip
bFind label "Find Max and Min" with side-labels. /*Trigger for button*/
On choose of bFind in frame main do: /*Retrieve the users input*/
Usersinput = (numberEntry:screen-value). /*to find out how many characters the user has enterd.*/ totalEntries = num-entries(UsersInput,';'). Display totalentries. /*Logic to extract Users input values one by one.*/
Repeat i = 1 to totalEntries: M = entry(i, UsersInput, ";").
Display m.
End. /*Logic to find the maximum element. */ .....
MESSAGE 'MAXIMUM :' iMax(UsersInput) SKIP
'MINIMUM :' iMin(UsersInput)
VIEW-AS ALERT-BOX INFO BUTTONS OK.
END.
VIEW FRAME main.
ENABLE ALL WITH FRAME main.
WAIT-FOR CHOOSE OF bfind.
You can call iMax() or iMin() and get MAX or MIN values from Progress MAXIMUM and MINIMUM function using a CHAR list of INTEGER values separated by semi colons without need to make a full code block to do the comparision and get the information for each situation that presents necessary.
Hope it helps.
Does Progress 4GL have a function for testing whether a string is numeric, like PHP's is_numeric($foo) function?
I've seen the function example at http://knowledgebase.progress.com/articles/Article/P148549 to test if a character in a string is numeric. Looks like it has a typo, btw.
But I would think the language would be a built-in function for this.
I was looking at this myself recently. The approved answer given to this doesn't work in 100% situations.
If the user enters any of the following special string characters: ? * - or + the answer won't work.
A single plus or minus(dash) is converted to 0 which you may not want.
A single question mark character is valid value which progress recognises as unknown value at which again you may not want.
A single or group asterisks on their own also get converted to 0.
If you run the following code you'll see what I mean.
DISP DECIMAL("*")
DECIMAL("**")
DECIMAL("?")
DECIMAL("+")
DECIMAL("-").
The following additional code maybe useful to get around this
DEFINE VARIABLE iZeroCode AS INTEGER NO-UNDO.
DEFINE VARIABLE iNineCode AS INTEGER NO-UNDO.
DEFINE VARIABLE chChar AS CHARACTER NO-UNDO.
ASSIGN iZeroCode = ASC("0")
iNineCode = ASC("9")
chChar = SUBSTRING(cNumber,1,1).
IF NOT(ASC(chChar) >= iZeroCode AND ASC(chChar) <= iNineCode) THEN DO:
MESSAGE "Invalid Number..." VIEW-AS ALERT-BOX.
END.
Do not need a function can jsut do a straight conversion.
ASSIGN dNumber = DECIMAL(cNumber) NO-ERROR.
IF ERROR-STATUS:ERROR THEN
DO:
{Handle issues}
END.
or if it is always whole numbers can use INTEGER instead of DECIMAL.
The language does not have a built-in "isNum()" type of function.
An alternative to the kbase method would be:
function isNum returns logical ( input s as character ):
define variable n as decimal no-undo.
assign
n = decimal( s )
no-error
.
return ( error-status:num-messages = 0 ).
end.
display isNum( "123" ) isNum( "xyz" ).
This code handles any numeric strings - even if the used Character is longer than the max Decimal length etc.
FUNCTION isNumeric RETURNS LOGICAL (textvalue AS CHAR):
DEF VAR i AS INT NO-UNDO.
IF textvalue = ? THEN RETURN TRUE.
DO i = 1 TO (LENGTH(textvalue) - 1):
INT(SUBSTRING(textvalue, i, (i + 1))) NO-ERROR.
IF ERROR-STATUS:ERROR THEN RETURN FALSE.
END.
RETURN TRUE.
END FUNCTION.
Works 100% of the time
FUNCTION is-num RETURNS LOGICAL
(INPUT cString AS CHARACTER):
DEFINE VARIABLE iZeroCode AS INTEGER NO-UNDO.
DEFINE VARIABLE iNineCode AS INTEGER NO-UNDO.
DEFINE VARIABLE cChar AS CHARACTER NO-UNDO.
DEFINE VARIABLE iCount AS INTEGER NO-UNDO.
DO iCount = 1 TO LENGTH(cString):
ASSIGN iZeroCode = ASC("0")
iNineCode = ASC("9")
cChar = SUBSTRING(cString,iCount,1).
IF NOT(ASC(cChar) >= iZeroCode AND ASC(cChar) <= iNineCode) THEN DO:
RETURN FALSE.
END.
END.
RETURN TRUE.
END.
What is the command to find the number of entries/rows in a temp table? version 10.2b
/* create a temp-table so that we can test this technique
*/
define temp-table ttTest
field id as int
.
create ttTest.
id = 1.
create ttTest.
id = 2.
/* how many records?
*/
define query q for ttTest cache 0.
open query q preselect each ttTest.
display num-results( "q" ).
or you can use clasic FOR EACH:
DEFINE VARIABLE iCount AS INT NO-UNDO.
FOR EACH ttTest:
iCount = iCount + 1.
END.
DISPLAY iCount.
Here's mine, that works for any temp-table :
FUNCTION TT_NBREC RETURNS INTEGER ( INPUT pr_hd_temptable AS HANDLE ) :
DEFINE VARIABLE in_nbrec AS INTEGER NO-UNDO INITIAL 0.
DEFINE VARIABLE hd_buffer AS HANDLE NO-UNDO.
DEFINE VARIABLE hd_query AS HANDLE NO-UNDO.
DEFINE VARIABLE ch_query AS CHARACTER NO-UNDO.
DEFINE VARIABLE ch_table AS CHARACTER NO-UNDO.
DEFINE VARIABLE lg_error AS LOGICAL NO-UNDO.
ASSIGN
ch_table = pr_hd_temptable:NAME
ch_query = "FOR EACH " + ch_table + " NO-LOCK".
CREATE BUFFER hd_buffer FOR TABLE ch_table.
CREATE QUERY hd_query.
hd_query:ADD-BUFFER( hd_buffer ).
lg_error = hd_query:QUERY-PREPARE( ch_query ) NO-ERROR.
hd_query:QUERY-OPEN().
hd_query:GET-FIRST().
DO WHILE NOT hd_query:QUERY-OFF-END :
ASSIGN in_nbrec = in_nbrec + 1.
hd_query:GET-NEXT().
END.
hd_query:QUERY-CLOSE().
DELETE OBJECT hd_query.
DELETE OBJECT hd_buffer.
ASSIGN
hd_query = ?
hd_buffer = ?.
RETURN in_nbrec.
END FUNCTION.
Just pass it the handle of your temp-table and you get the number of records.
It can certainly be improved, but it works fast enough for me.
