MessageBox from 4GL ( BPM )

system · May 23, 2009, 2:42pm

Mark,
Finally I have some time to go back to reading Vantage group posts.

If I will have such action like ''Show informational message based on
the designed template'' then I will be using it. Unfortunatelly there
is not such action in Vantage 8.03.305H. This is the main reason why I
was looking for possibility to popup message directly from 4GL code.

So far without success.

Sometimes when I am writing some 4GL code I would like to check values
of some variables on certain stages. Therefore I would like to have a
possibility to display some information during code execution using for
it i.e a MessageBox.

So far I am unable to do this, any help is welcome

thanks in advance

Hey, Grzegorz

At Perspectives yesterday, they suggested using the Message command and the
message doesn't popup but they do go to the AppServer log.

I'm open to correction on this, but I believe that because the BPM is
running on the server it can't display a MessageBox.

As Mark suggests, the Message command writes to the
MfgSys803.server.log (in ..\epicor\mfgsys803\Server\logs). This can
be very useful for code-checking.

Â My error, the syntax I provided is good for 4GL procedures, etc.--I didn't notice the 'BPM' requirement in your subject line.

An interesting note is that a BPM runs 4GL stored on the serverÂ and it can display a message.Â If anyone figures out how to do this with custom 4GL code I would be interested.

The BPM Show informational message calls a 4GL procedure on the server

{lib/PublishInfoMsg.i
&InfoMsg = "your message here"}

So you may be able to construct your message and try calling the
procedure in code - I have not tried to see if it would work.

Could you supply the syntax you would use in a BPM for this?Â I tried a couple of different versions of:
run lib/PublishInfoMsg.i(....) with no success.

Nigel,
how you'll then explain this:

I have wrote a 4GL code (BPM) for sending e-mails using;
run SendEmail.i (don't remember right now syntax, but for sure it runs
some 4GL procedure) I did a mistake and did not specify a recipient.

What happend when action triger the procedure was a MessageBox with
information that e-mail wasn't send because of missing recipient. Based
on this I am almost sure that there is possibility to popup a
MessageBox from 4GL.

I got it to work in a BPM.ï¿½ The syntax is:
{lib/PublishInfoMsg.i &InfoMsg = "'your message here'"}

You have to have the brackets, and if you use a literal string, then the string has to be quoted inside the quotes.

I was wondering if anyone has a list of the "include file references" that are used by the condition and action statements in a BPM, and a list of their arguments?Â This would be very usefull in creating custom source code.

As I wrote yesterday I was tried to use it today.
But I have an error message:

Error Detail
============
** "lib/PublishInfoMsg.i" was not found. (293)

I know that it can be problem with ProPath but I was search through
the files on Vantage server and I couldn't find the file.
Could someone give me a full path to this file on your server?

I am on 8.03.305H

It may not exist on 8.03.305 - I do not have a installation of
8.03.3xx to check. I know they changed the BPM quite a bit between
8.03.3 and 8.03.4

On 8.03.405a it is in Epicor\Mfgsys803\Server\Lib

But as far as it is only a file for poping up the message (and it not
doing anything else) it shoud be possible to put it to my library
directory and use it (if it not have any additional 'includes')
Am I right?

I found aswer in Help system of Vantage. The topic is "4GL Action".
For my Vantage 8.03.3x the aswer is following:

{lib/PublishEx.i &ExMsg = "' My error message' " }
{&THROW_PRIVATE}.

It seems that I was to fast...
the code I provided is working, but its functionality is different
than I expected to be.
This is purly an Exception. It means that it stops processing the
code that is after this exception.

So I am still looking for MessageBox for 8.03.3x without stoping the
execution of the rest of the code.

Can you remind us what is the business problem that you're trying to solve?
BPMs have a way to raise a message window already.

Mark,
I did not notice that you post answer to my question. Sorry.

The reason why I prefer to use a MessageBox from 4GL over a 'Raise
exception' is that:
1. 'Raise exception' is stopping the execution of your code
2. In 4GL you can put message in any point of your code
3. The data that you can pass to message box from 4GL can be selected
from ANY table, not only ttTables that you are limited to in 'Raise
exception'
