4D 16.3HF4 Windows 64 bit?

2018-08-22 Thread Ben Kershaw via 4D_Tech
Is there a 64 bit version of v16.3HF4 for Windows? I don’t see any 64 bit Windows versions in the hotfix area on the forums. I see the server, but not the single user/client version. If I need 64 bit Windows clients, am I forced into using an R release? Thanks, Ben Kershaw

Bug in PrintList Pro v6 and only printing break levels

2018-06-19 Thread Ben Kershaw via 4D_Tech
For anyone upgrading to PrintList Pro v6 you may want to know about (what I think is) a bug. If you only print the break levels and not the detail rows using the “PL_SetColOpts” command and setting the third parameter (hideDetailArea) to 1, it will result in an output of “###Undefined value###”
