Re: Round() slow down calculations

Hi Victorio,

I enjoy optimizing my applications where ever I can.

If you use
a=1
b=3
SET FIXED OFF
Round(a/b, 2 )

your result should be 0.33

Are you saying you get a different outcome?

It's that time - Happy Birthday

Roger, We were both hoping that when 2020 was over we would put a bad year behind us. It seems that we're going to have to put most, if not all of 2021 behind us as well. With all the craziness happening around us, the new normal doesn't look so good. In fact, it looks abnormal. And with all the peo...

Re: XBASE++ 2020: HAS XBASE++ REACHED THE END ?

Jimmy, Exactly what is the miracle you are waiting for or referring to? I get the sense that both you and Joe are saying you can't go on without something. Haven't you both already created software for clients that work? Will that software become useless soon? I understand that programmers seem to t...

Re: XBASE++ 2020: HAS XBASE++ REACHED THE END ?

Hi Jimmy, If I have my facts correct, Xbase++ was started in 1997 and Harbour in 1999. FiveWin started as an add-on product not a standalone Xbase++ language product so it doesn't really qualify. But none of that answers the original question: "Has Xbase++ reached the end?" It's not an issue of whic...

Re: XBASE++ 2020: HAS XBASE++ REACHED THE END ?

I have several software products in various industries all running on Xbase++ code so I use it extensively. What I notice is that my workbench keeps telling me there are new downloads available. So unless there are elves working in the office at night, someone from the Alaska team is writing code to...

Re: First programs under 2.0

Hi Eugene,

I have several different software packages at several different clients.
Everything is compiled under 2.0 and my clients have a mixture of Win7 and Win10 machines.
There are no issues; everything works great.

Hi everyone, We have several documents that we prefill for our users. For instance, we have several contracts that we either have scanned or converted to bitmaps/jpgs. We simply print the image using DCPRINT BITMAP and using DCPRINT SAY, we print data onto the image. The end result is that the user ...

Re: Switching from Alaska 1.9 to 2.0

Eugene,

You may need to re-index your tables when switching versions but that's simple to do.
