Suddenly errors for property commands are popping up, which we have

vZRisk is an integer count of how many Risks exist for ZID, then the
Refreshlist
changes the total on the screen. Has always worked. Still does, but
it also now
brings up this error message.
COMPUTE vZRisk AS COUNT ZID FROM Z_Risks_Info WHERE ZID = .vZID
PROPERTY vZRisk RefreshList 'True'
-error- Property 'Refreshlist' not found in component 'vZRisk' or
assigned value
is invalid.
This now happens for every Property Refreshlist in the database at work. This
started about 3 days ago. Did reload and rebuild. No changes to CONFIG that I
remember. This happens in compiled and non-compiled versions. Using
1/9 update.
No findable virus. Stumped for cause and solution. Next step erase R:Base,
reload from disk and apply update.
Tom,
FWIW ...
Prior to the official release of R:BASE eXtreme 9.5 (Update 5), any invalid or
mistyped PROPERTY/GETPROPERTY "property" keywords were ignored and no
validation
was performed to identify the invalid "property" value used.
Did you know that PROPERTY and GETPROPERTY command errors can now be
displayed if
a "property" value is invalid? This enhancement applies to both forms
& reports.
Syntax:
SET CHECKPROP ON/OFF
The default value is set to OFF.
A simple example to illustrate the use of this new setting:
Let's say your form On After Start EEP includes the following code:
PROPERTY <ComponentID> VISBLE 'FALSE'
RETURN
Notice the misspelled "VISBLE". The valid keyword however is "VISIBLE".
Before, this was ignored and the property keyword was never
validated. The users
will report this as a bug, because the PROPERTY command doesn't work. Really?
Using the latest Version and Update 5 of R:BASE eXtreme 9.5, Build:
9.5.5.20109:
SET CHECKPROP ON (the DEFAULT is set to OFF)
Now if you run the form with same misspelled property keyword, you will get an
-ERROR- Property 'VISBLE' not found in component <ComponentID> or the assigned
value is invalid.
This new setting will help you to revisit your code so that you can correct the
syntax as well as use a valid property command without wasting valuable time of
members of the eXpanded R:Dream Team to debug your forms and reports, etc.
Note:
The errors are only displayed if a new operating condition CHECKPROP is set ON.
(CVAL('CHECKPROP'))
Returns the current status of CHECKPROP setting.
SHOW CHECKPROP
Displays the current status of CHECKPROP setting.
Very Best R:egards,
Razzak.
