I have seen this mistake a few times now so I felt it deserves an article.  It occurs when you attempt to use the ATTRIBUTES clause on a DYNAMIC ARRAY OF RECORD.  It looks like the ATTRIBUTES clause is being ignored but what has actually happened is that you have put it in the wrong place, you have added it to the RECORD when you should add it to the ARRAY.

One of the characteristics of our community is that having mostly come from Informix-4gl backgrounds, they have practises that were determined by what Informix provided many years ago.  In some cases, Informix did not dictate something and so Informix-4gl users developed their own way of doing things.  These are of course all different.
 
One of those areas was how finished applications were bundled and deployed onto production servers.  You would have developed your own procedures  for figuring out what files to bundle up and ship to your customers, and then how to install it.  No two Informix-4gl developers would have the same set of procedures.
 
Within the Genero stack we have endeavoured to provide a more complete ecosystem for you to build, and deploy applications.  This include the concept of a Genero Archive.

When working with and manipulating XML data and files, a question gets asked as to whether to use the om package, or the xml package.
 
To understand the difference between these packages, you need to go back into Genero history.  At the inception of Genero, there was only the om package, the xml package was introduced later in version 2.10.

When the front-end applies a sort to the rows in a table, a question that then gets asked is how can I change the current row so that it is the first sorted row.

With the 5.00 release,  a decision has been made to move to a version numbering scheme that is more in line with the principles of Semantic Versioning.  Hence the release of Genero in early 2024 is version 5.00, it is not version 4.10.

Good evening,

I inserted the use of fglritchtext into a form which works correctly on my server.

Once I have sent the forms and the form to one of my client's servers, the form opens correctly but remains completely blank.

The two servers have the same version of fourjs on the server side and client side.

How can I understand where the problem lies?

Thanks

Thank you Roland for reporting, I have fixed it.

Best regards,

Christine

Hello Christine,

there's a typo in the attached document. In appendix A the EOL dates for Rocky Linux 8 and 9 are mixed up. Rocky Linux 8 was released earlier, so the support period is also shorter than for the newer version.

Kind regards
Roland
