2.5 testing - where do my SBAS files go?
Sep 18th, 2009 at 1:28pm
Print Post Print Post  
I'm testing 2.5 in it's own directory, C:\Sesame2.5 (my copy of Sesame 2.0 usually runs in C:\Sesame) and am having trouble with Sbasic compilation errors related to my SBAS files.  The application I'm testing resides in C:\Sesame2.5\Miara.  The program is running from C:\Sesame2.5\Program.

Where should I be putting my SBAS files?  Thanks for your help.

In your current working directory (start in directory), probably C:\Sesame2.5 in your case.

Thank you.  Did that.  I think I've localized the problem I'm having, but I'm a bit stumped.

This works when hard-coded in the application:
Code
Select All
On Retrieve Spec Open

// Loads the Dispatchers' sort spec

Var vLoadSortSpec as String

IF ( (sUserId = "Jason") OR (sUserId = "Michelle") OR (sUserId = "John") OR (sUserId = "Chris") )
THEN vLoadSortSpec = @SpecCommand(SPEC_OPERATION_LOAD, SPEC_TYPE_SORT, "Workorder # Descending")

But not when moved to an SBAS file. I get the error that @SpecCommand is an "unknown identifier".  Any ideas?

A little bit of experimentation shows that if I'm firing off Sesame Designer in the Program directory, the SBAS files need to be there too.  So I did that, but the problem mentioned above is still being a pain.

You can also use an absolute or relative path, if you need to be very certain.

Thanks Mark.  Any thoughts on the @SpecCommand kookiness?

Does it say that @SpecCommand is unknown or does it say that spec_operation_load is unknown?

The error reads
Code
Select All
Error while parsing module "WORKORDR (8)":
Unknown identifier.
Line 6, position 35: [Identifier: SPEC_OPERATION_LOAD]
THEN vLoadSortSpec = @SpecCommand(SPEC_OPERATION_LOAD, SPEC_TYPE_SORT ...
                      ^


The ^ mark points to the S in @SpecCommand (in case my formatting of the above gets fungled).

When I click on the line in the error box, my #include line is highlighted,
Code
Select All
#include "WorkorderUsersSortSpec.sbas"


As I said, if I take the SBAS code in its entirety and plug it directly into the app hard code (and rem out the #include statement) the Program Editor is happy dappy.

The code I'm working with is
Code
Select All
// Loads the Dispatchers' sort spec

Var vLoadSortSpec as String

IF ( (sUserId = "Jason") OR (sUserId = "Michelle") OR (sUserId = "John") OR (sUserId = "Chris") )
THEN vLoadSortSpec = @SpecCommand(SPEC_OPERATION_LOAD, SPEC_TYPE_SORT, "Workorder # Descending")


I have similar code in an SBAS file for my Invoice database, doing the same thing (loading sort specs) which is having the exact same problem.  Program editor is fine with all my other SBAS files (although I had to rem out the ones that hide tree items, no biggy there, I'll get to that later).

It's not finding your include file, Scott. It's a path problem. Look at the properties of the icon you are using to start Sesame or SDesigner. Look at the Start In directory. Put WorkorderUsersSortSpec.sbas in that directory.

The two SBAS files are right in there with all the rest which are working, in this case in C:\Sesame2.5\Program.  I'm starting the program by double-clicking on sdesigner.exe in that directory.  But I also did as Mark suggested and hard-coded the path in the #include statement.  Same result.

This makes no sense, Scott. We're missing something, but it's hard to tell what when we're working blind like this. Get online with Support so they can look at your file setup?

Yeah, something is wonky.  However, I'll need to come back to this at another time.  For right now I'm going to hard code it so I can continue testing 2.5.  When I get closer to rollout I'll get in touch with support, see what we can figure out.  It's a fairly minor feature anyway, sorting specs for my users, and I don't see that I'll be changing it often, which is the reasoning behind tossing it into an SBAS file.

I really appreciate all your help, you guys are the best.

It may be the order in which you are including the files. If an include file uses a definition from a different include file, make sure the defining include appears first in the set of includes.

There's no nested #include in this file, just the code I posted above.

Not nested. Just multiple includes that depend on one another for defines. Ray is looking into it now.
