SBAIR example

[JD Kromkowski]

Looking at SBAIR example. “Build” (and “rebuild”) unsuccessful. This is message: Cannot open file ‘errors.sma’ Please advise.

[JD Kromkowski]

Upon further investigation, I see that the "errors.sma" is only located in
the SIMPOLinclude directory.

I did "save as" and put in in the same dir as the other .sma, but then
building results in this error.

Cannot open file 'uisyshelphdr.sma'

Same issue. Same fix on my part.

So what this suggests is that somehow the "include" setting in SETTINGS
is not working correctly because I can see that the "SIMPOLinclude"
directory is listed under "included".

Any further thoughts?

Moving on (with my work around to build)

An error is through because the form (I think) can't locate the .png logo
in drive "X:etc, etc" which is probably the name of your drive where the
png logo was located.

Presumably that .png should have been included in this directory:

C:SIMPOLProjectstutorialsbairbin

and "checkin.sfx" would need to be modified to point to the correct
location of the .png

Am I on the correct path?

Goodness. Thanks for that. Yes, the png path probably needs to be
removed so that it looks in the current directory. I will adjust the
sample and update the installer. It also is strange that it is not
finding the errors.sma and uisyshelphdr.sma if the correct include path
is present.

Thinking a bit more about this, I am going to update the formlib.sml to
check the current directory if it cannot resolve the path. It already
does this when opening tables.

I have figured out why the "include"setting was not working. (Which by
the way doesn't work in any of the tutorial examples)

If you take a look at Settings > and the "includes and libraries" tab,
you'll see
under the include folders

C:SIMPOLinclude

But this is wrong. It should be

C:SIMPOLinclude

How did I figure this out. I manually when and added the C:SIMPOLinclude
directory WITHOUT removing what was there. When you do this you will see
both entries and the difference the "" makes. Because now the projects
will build properly.

My bill will be in the mail. 🙂

Thanks for that. I will double-check the installer script. These have to
be adjusted after the projects are installed, so it is the installer
script at work here.

Sorting wiht "scaninavian" characters (åäöÅÄÖ) is not correct.

Sorry, Scandinavian… my bad english 🙂

That is not terribly surprising. The current sort order is viable for
most European languages, but as I recall, in the Scandinavian sort
order, the special characters are sorted at the end of the alphabet,
rather than inline, which unfortunately directly conflicts with the sort
order as used in other European countries. The index order that you
require can be added to the product, we would just need to define it. It
would then appear as a sorting algorithm for the indexes.
