Just wondering if there will a way to do exports or reports that are xml.  We currently use csv but have been asked by our clients to supply data in xml format.

You can already do this in Sesame 2. XML is just ASCII formatted a particular way. You can use the File I/O commands to write out whatever XML you need.

Sesame 3 - Breaking News
Sesame 3 now has Replacement Macros. This lets you define blocks of text for yourself that you can insert into fields at will without requiring any programming. This includes commonly used notes, standard blocks of text for documents, etc. If I save "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog." as replacement macro "QBF," all I have to do is type "QBF%" into a field to insert that chunk of text. Now, since some of you folks are advanced users, I'll also point out that you can include @Eval macros (another cool new feature) in the replacement text that lets you include calculated values, run SBasic, etc. For example, if I add this line to my sesame_replacement_macros.txt file:
#define EVL=The full name is @eval{=(First + " " + Last)} ... then I can type EVL% in a field in a Customers record to calculate the full name.

How do we use that? In Sdesigner as property of Element? Increment in time in minutes or seconds?

It is used in Runtime, not SDesigner. You highlight the value and type < or > to change the value. You can change the increment for time values between minutes or hours based on whether you type < or Alt+<. Same with > and Alt+>.

In Sesame 3, SBasic now lets you group a list of elements and refer to that list by the group name. Anything you do to the group will be done to each element in the group. For example:
Code
Select All
// Group the Company, Add1, and First elements
GroupElements("Test", Company, Add1, First)
Color(@("Test"), 2, 1) // Color each of the elements in the group


You can also map a list of values to the elements in the group with one line of code.
Code
Select All
//Places "one" in Company, "two" in Add1, and "three" in First
MapValues(@("Test"), "one;two;three")


That's a great feature... will really make it much easier to great dynamic forms. Can't wait to get Sesame3.

Sesame 3 now has an HTML View Window. This is like the WriteLn window, but it can render simple HTML, including images and tables. If you need to display formatted output, this new feature is a great way to do it.

Another note about the HTML View window: You can have clickable links in it that run SBasic. So, you can include links in the HTML that post values, add records, run reports, send emails, or do anything else you can do in SBasic.

This Sesame HTML viewer is very cool. I was just thinking about this while parsing HL7 (format used to exchange data, more like CSV), how to present data to user and giving them option to do in the form of clickable link. Looking forward to working with this.

Erika,

The HTML window really made my weekend. Can't thank you enough! And now, it sounds like it's even BETTER than I thought?

Are you saying that we can have a link that, when clicked, can 'jump' the user to a selected record (or set of records)?

Yep. The example I was working with allowed the user to click on the origin of one of the Gem Types, like Brazil, and open the Gems subform standalone with all the Gems from Brazil retrieved. Plus, it's non-modal, so it can stay up until you're done with it like the WriteLn window does.

ABSOLUTELY PHENOMENAL! Sounds like it will enable all kinds of possibilities.

I use the WriteLn window to display a lot of information, so this will be very useful. I have to ask, when is Sesame v3.0 due to be released? No more toying with our emotions! Is there a beta program?
