Hi Dario,
in Omnis 8 and higher, there are two methods

iso8601toOmnins()
omnistoiso8601()

which should do the job.

Hi Gianni,

haven’t tried it myself yet.
But here I found new versions of the MacOS client up to version 19.3.
https://www.oracle.com/database/technologies/instant-client/macos-intel-x86-downloads.html

Maybe one of those will work on Catalina

Hi,
which version of the Instant Client did you use?
Has this version been working on earlier versions of MacOS togehtehr with Studio 10.1, especially High Sierra and Mojave?

Hi Gigi,

you’re welcome 🙂

Hi Gigi,
#DEBUG in VS and debugging in Omnis are two different issues, that cannot be compared directly.

Major difference is, that in VS an EXE or DLL is being compiled in Debug or Release mode.
Since Omnis isn’t compiler based, there is no difference between libraries.

But, and maybe this helps, you can determine by code, if your code/library…[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]

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]

Great to hear 🙂
You’re welcome!

Hi Coralie,
I suppose, you’re talking about standard Windows Forms (Fat client), not the jsClient.
There you have (at least) two possibilities:
1. Use a complex grid. Each data column can be represented by almost any control like en try fields, check boxes and of course droplists.
2. Use a datagrid, set the $userdefined property to kTrue, the…[Read more]

Hi Paul,

great to hear, you solved the issue. Thank you for posting the solution!

Hi Paul,

the Omnis list is being mirrored on this site:
https://developer.omnis.net/omnislist

It’s fully searchable with the widget in the right pane or at the page bottom in the mobile version.

Thank you Das,
this is just the input we need.
The Omnis Developer Site is living on the contributions of the Omnis community.
The ‘Omnis General Coding’ area is up right now.

And we’re looking forward to your further suggestions.

Thank you

You’re welcome.

Maybe you can post here, if this product is working for you.
Other developers might have similar needs.

Hi Ghiara,
maybe you should try Code meter from Wibu Systems.

https://www.wibu.com/de/codemeter.html

This is a hardware protection solution (dongle based but also other options available), which seems to be very flexible. It also works with the latest encryption technologies.
Protection can either be integrated in the Omnis source code by…[Read more]

Hi Rocco,

can confirm. It doesn’t work.
A bug has been listed for that issue.

Hi Rocco,

already tried to set the $prefs.$importencoding properties?

Klaus

Hi Rocco,

already tried to set the $prefs.$importencoding properties?

Didn’t know that either. But it sounds really great.
Will try it tomorrow in a project, I’m currently working on.

Anybody heard of CData REST Api Server or got any experiences together with Omnis?
