Error 2029 compiling a form with Genero v2.11.xx

[David H.]

When the attached form is compiled with Genero v2.11.02-v2.11.14 we get an error 2029. When compiled with Genero v1.32 it compiles fine....

Hello,
Can you provide the database schema file please?
Seb

Hi Seb.

Please see attached. Hope there is nothing wrong with the schema as I wrote my own function to generate schema's automatically whenever a change in our database structure is detected!

Cheers.

Thanks David,

Actually you have some fields like a2, a5, a8 that are defined with the (old) multi-line field tag, repeating the tag name in each line:

Code (per) Select Expand

UNLOAD[a2                                                                    ]
REMARK[ a2                                                                   ]
      [ a2                                                                   ]
      [ a2                                                                   ]
      [ a2                                                                   ]


This is now interpreted as a list/Matrix field...

You should remove the tag name in subsequent tags.

Sorry little typo in per example, you have actually:

Code (per) Select Expand

UNLOAD[a2                                                                    ]
REMARK[a2                                                                    ]
      [a2                                                                    ]
      [a2                                                                    ]
      [a2                                                                    ]

[David H.]

Cheers for that. The error message sent me looking in the wrong direction totally!

[Sebastien F.]

Hum... yes...

I wonder why we don't have the same error message as Informix form4gl:

Code (per) Select Expand


DATABASE FORMONLY
SCREEN
{
[f1        ]  [f2                  ]
[f1        ]  [f2                  ]
[f1        ]
}
END
ATTRIBUTES
f1 = FORMONLY.field1;
f2 = FORMONLY.field2;
END
INSTRUCTIONS
SCREEN RECORD sr[5](FORMONLY.*);
#
#      Screen record array "sr" has component sizes which either
# differ from the specified dimension of the array or differ among themselves.
# See error number -2029.

Hi Reuben,

Believe it or nor I did actually check there before posting but the way the error was presented:-

 

Code (genero) Select Expand

                                   new_gross_wt,
                                   wt_text,

                                   deprt_cstm_off_key

                               )


Made me think the error was within the screen record itself and not something wrong within the screen section. I think I must have been having one of those days! :-)
