Any help?

Re: Variable in Dialog Doesn’t Honor Number Formatting

[Sannyasin Siddhanathaswami via 4D_Tech]

Thank you Miyako!

I changed the compatibility setting, but that didn’t help for this.

I then traced and found, as you suspected, that the variable was text. Makes 
sense, as it’s a enterable box. Declaring it properly fixed the issue.

Thanks!

did you use C_REAL or C_LONGINT?

what does the debugger/runtime explorer say?

the value type in property list does not set the variable type except for form 
local variables.

64 bit. I'll add that to the mix.

Thanks.

Re: SET PRINT OPTION Fails on a New Macbook Air

[Jeffrey Kain via 4D_Tech]

Not sure if you're on 32-bit or 64-bit, but printing on 64-bit is fussier -- it 
wants to have paper sizes assigned with SET PRINT OPTION that match exactly the 
printer you're printing to, otherwise it sets OK to zero and it won't print.  
The workaround I found, since different drivers have wildly different paper 
sizes, is to use the variation of the command that specifies a print area in 
pixels instead of a named paper size.

I'll give that a shot. I print the file with no extension then rename it 
afterwards.

Tom,

if I remember correctly from one TAOW case I handled few years ago, this could 
happen if your $DocPath doesn’t end with .pdf extension.

SET PRINT OPTION Fails on a New Macbook Air

[Tom Dillon via 4D_Tech]

4D 17.1

SET PRINT OPTION(Destination option;3;$DocPath)  // PDF

$DocPath is validated

Prints to a PDF on my iMac (10.13.6). On a client's Macbook Air (10.14.4) it 
creates no document and ends up printing on the default printer.

Any ideas on why this computer wants to make me sad?

BTW, the DB folder is at the hard drive level. There is a PDF Invoices folder 
in the same folder as the DB.

Thanks Y'all!

Re: v17 64Bit Label Format Numbers

[Keith Culotta via 4D_Tech]

Not to get too off point, but if a field is dragged into the Label form and 
changed to a 4D command, the command gets executed...at least the ones I tried  
I got "ALERT"ed once for each record in the selection.  After that the label 
printed with: ALERT("Test") on each label.  BEEP worked the same way.

It will also print the value for [Table]Object.FirstName when a field has been 
so edited.  However, like the String command, only one label in the selection 
will print when that appears on the form.

4D Write Pro (where is list of reserved attributes?)

[Jeremy French via 4D_Tech]

Can I change a 4D Write Pro table’s id attribute to some custom value?

A recent 4D Tech Tip "Write Pro Object Attributes" says:

"With a 4D Write Pro object custom attributes and values can be assigned to the 
4D Write Pro object as long as the attribute is not a reserved attribute.”

Where do we find a list of the reserved attributes?
