This build adds two exciting new
features to our ever expanding list of reasons to chose PxPlus
for your application.
 |
Need to fax directly
from your application? Don't want to have to buy
dedicated hardware or expensive faxing software. PxPlus now has Built-in faxing
support for an internet based service
|
|
 |
In keeping with our
ongoing commitment to bring you access to some of the
greatest technologies in the market today, this build of
PxPlus includes native support of
MYSQL. This
new interface provides high-speed direct access to MySql
databases on Windows/Unix/Linux without the need or
overhead of an ODBC link. |
The following new +PxPlus
Exclusive features
were added to PxPlus with Build 9162
(click here to view information on the prior build
--9161)
General |
- Faxing support via
the Internet has been added to the system through
the *PLUSFAX* file. This system file allows
for the direct printing of reports for delivery
by Fax to the specified fax number with optional
cover sheet generation.
- Direct access to
MySQL databases was added using the native
database access routines and the new "[MYSQL]"
pathname identifier. This interface is
compatible with the existing ODBC, Oracle and DB2
interfaces but allows access to MySql tables on
both Windows and Unix/Linux systems. (This is a
chargeable add-on)
- The Windows Trace
window has been enhanced to output a trace of all
SQL commands issued by the system when running
against a database.
- The INPUT Directive validation rules have
been further enhanced with this build to include
support for substrings and array elements in
order to assist in conversions of text based
Thoroughbred® applications.
- Background images
are now supported within NOMADS allowing the
application designer to define images (pictures)
that will be used as a backdrop for the
application panel.
- A new Hyperlink style
button allows for the easy definition of
buttons that will appear like standard text-only
Web page links.
|
|
|
Directives |
- Allowed the
application to include default values on the ENTER Directive in order to simplify the
programming of common routines.
- A new SYSTEM_JRNL BEGIN
AUTO directive has been added to
support Dynamic Auto-commits of database
transactions. This feature helps to assure that
all updates are synchronized and improves the
speed of processes that issue multiple updates.
|
|
|
Functions |
- An IDENTIFIER_QUO
option was added to the FIN function to provide the
character(s) used to surround identifiers based
on the database in use.
- An OWNER
option was also added to the FIN function to provide the object
number that 'Owns' a file.
|
|
|
Mnemonics |
- The Mnemonics 'F+' and
'F-' have been added to control the
automatic background filling of fonted,
check_box, and radio button text.
|
|
|
Parameters |
- A new System parameter
'47' was added to the system that will
emulate the error 47 suppression logic found in
Thoroughbred®. Use of this parameter
eliminates the need to manually review all IF
statements when doing a conversion.
|
|
|
Properties |
- Added the 'CurrentItem
property to Variable drop
and list box controls to indicate the current
selection from the list.
|
|
|
Utilities |
- Enhanced the named
window emulation logic to use objects tied to
windows in order to assure that the named windows
table was properly maintained in the Thoroughbred® conversion utilities (*conv.tbd/window).
- Improved the screen
design for Dependancy definitions in NOMADS
|
|
|
Corrections |
- Added logic to the DIR
command to display an error message if invoked
from a non-graphical terminal
- Corrected file
locking for INSERT, UPDATE
and various other directives to assure proper
data file locking on Unix/Linux.
- The printing of
pictures has been corrected to work when running
under WINE in Linux.
- Corrected Daylight
Savings time on SAVE directive
so that the date/time stamps in program headers
are correct.
- Improved FINPUT
emulator for better handing of some of the edit
mode attributes.
