Mark Phillips replied to the topic Home User path in the forum Omnis General Coding 1 day, 4 hours ago

we use this in Omnis Studio v6.0. “homedirectorypath” is a character variable.

For Mac,

; user home path
Do $runapplescript(‘path to home folder from user domain as string’,homedirectorypath) Returns errcode`
Calculate homedirectorypath as replaceall(homedirectorypath,kDq,”)

For Windows:

If isunicode()
Register DLL…[Read more]

Hi Paolo,

there is a funtion in Omnis Studio called

getenv(NameofEnvoronmentVar)

To retrieve the current user’s home directory under windows it would be

Do getenv(“userprofile”) Returns lcUserProfile

where “userprofile” is the name of the corresponding environemt variable.
The function also works on Mac OS but I don’t know the variable name…[Read more]

Good day,
On a mac, but also in windows, how can I retrieve the path of my home directory such as :Users:illing ?

Thanks to everyone who replied here and privately. I have identified a project for testing the new DML/SQL bridge in Omnis Studio 10. As we progress I will try to share what we learn here.

You need to do the following (assuming Studio 8.0 or higher):
Do $cdevice.$assign(kDevOmnisPDF) ;; Switch to the Omnis PDF device.
Calculate $prefs.$reportfile as ‘full path to PDF file’ ;; Omnis PDF uses the $prefs.$reportfile to determine where to write the PDF.

We’re looking at the Studio 10 DML to SQL stuff, but there still seems to be a few issues. We’re working with tech support to get them resolved because we still have a few DML based clients that we’d like to get to PostgreSQL.

Goodmorning everyone,
I have to save a PDF of several pages on disk but I can’t remember how I can do it
I put the usual dialogues like print page and detstination and then Begin Print Job. The program prints but does not save them anywhere
How do I request to save the file?
Thank you
Mimmo

Brian Steiner started the topic Identify unused variables in the forum Externals 1 week ago

Is there an efficient and reliable way to identify unused variables in an Omnis library? There are two main problems I face:
– reference variables: a variable in window B refers to a variable in window A
– coded variables: variables lnField1, lnField2, lnField3 may all be iteratively called with lnField

Hi Klaus,
I had tried the task type variable but it didn’t work (I don’t how I failed that…). But your solution went great.

Thank you very much once again Klaus,

Regards,
Coralie.
Klaus Schrödl replied to the topic scope variable in the forum Omnis General Coding 1 week, 1 day ago

Hi,
the easiest way would be to make the variable a task var, so it’s “visible” in the whole application. But that’s not a good or elegant approach.
The better way would be to create a public method (starting with the $) in the second form, to make it accessible from outside, i.e. $setmyvalue with a parameter of the required type. And then call it…[Read more]
Monnet started the topic JsForms et valeur d’une variable in the forum Forum Omnis en Français 1 week, 1 day ago

Bonjour à tous,

Je travaille sous Omnis 8.
J’ai une iVar dans un JsForm et j’ai besoin de récupérer la valeur de cette variable depuis un autre JsForm. J’ai essayé plusieurs solutions (qui ne fonctionnent pas) mais je pense que je passe à côté de quelque chose… Une idée?

Merci,
Coralie.

Hi everyone,

I’m using Omnis 8 and Js Forms.
I have an iVar in the first form and I need its value in the second form. How can I change the scope of my var so that I can access it?

Regards,
Coralie.

hi mark.

studio 10 might make conversion a different process. since the DML commands can now talk to postgres (instead of the omnis .df1 database)

might be an avenue to approach..
