Karen, Cool feature. Don’t hesitate to ask for enhancements, RBTI has been good about listening to developers; worst case they don’t implement it and you have not lost anything… well, maybe 5 minutes typing the request…J Javier, Javier Valencia, PE O: 913-829-0888 H: 913-397-9605 C: 913-915-3137 From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Karen Tellef Sent: Monday, January 25, 2016 4:13 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [RBASE-L] - RE: New Dialog in RBase X Exactly!!! I've always wished we had this, but never had the guts to ask for an enhancement. I'm glad someone did!

Cool. Hopefully, I will get some funds and time to upgrade soon… Dan Goldberg From: <mailto:[email protected]> [email protected] [ <mailto:[email protected]?> mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Karen Tellef Sent: Monday, January 25, 2016 1:56 PM To: Dan Goldberg Subject: [RBASE-L] - New Dialog in RBase X Just want to make sure this doesn't escape everyone's notice. I just had occasion to use this nifty new feature today! Did you know that in RBase X you can now have a "DIALOG" command that accepts a variable other than text? No more need to have a text variable in your Dialog and then do a conversion to get the integer/date/whatever you really need! What happens if you type in an invalid value? If you had your error messages on, you would see the standard "variable not the same type" error message and it would exit the Dialog. If your messages are off, the dialog would just disappear and your variable would be null. So after the dialog, just test if the value is null to see if they typed in something incorrect. Karen
