Error in Compile any Code or Routine In Jbase 4.1

[Ali Neemuch]

Dear All,
I have Install R6 and R8 on same Machine and Jbase 4.1 and Jbase 5.0
every thing is working fine but when i compile any code or any routine
from R6(Jbase 4.1) they give me this error:

Hi,

If you see the below warning,

WARNING: JBC_CCOMPILER_PATH is 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual
Studio .NET 2003\Vc7\bin' which does not match VC++ registry

From the above warning message we could confirm that the Compiler
variables are not set properly in the remote.cmd file. Follow the
below update and include the variables in the remote.cmd file
accordingly


The recommended compilers for Windows are Microsoft Visual Studio .NET
2003
(or) Microsoft Visual C++ Toolkit 2003. Make sure the following
compiler related paths are set as follows:

if the compiler is Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003
***************************************
set PATH=C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\VC7\bin

set JBC_CCOMPILER_PATH=C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET
2003\VC7

set JBC_SHAREDIDE_PATH=C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET
2003\Common7\IDE

set INCLUDE=C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET
2003\VC7\include

set LIB=C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\VC7\Lib


if the compiler is Microsoft Tool Kit
***************************************

set PATH=C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual C++ Toolkit 2003\bin

set JBC_CCOMPILER_PATH=C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual C++ Toolkit
2003

set INCLUDE=C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual C++ Toolkit 2003\include

set LIB=C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual C++ Toolkit 2003\lib


NOTE: Here JBC_SHAREDIDE_PATH is not required.

Rgds,
Harry

Hi AM,

Buddy this is R08 Model Bank Error.

If you want to resolve it, then you can contact me locally as we were
colleagues because I can't send you the solution over internet.

Oops, guess that got missed by the OP.  Kinda confusing rules anyways.

I haven't tested this with jBASE 5.x, but with the more recent releases of 4.1.6.x I'll note that to build correctly you only need to make sure the following variables are set:  LIB, INCLUDE, and PATH.

For example, with Visual Studio Express 2008 installed (on my D drive) under jBASE 4.1.6.3, I manually added the following to my environment:

INCLUDE=D:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\include
LIB=D:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\lib;C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\Lib

(I believe that unless you're going to mix jBC and C, you don't need the second directory in LIB)

And added the following to my PATH:

PATH=D:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\bin;D:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\IDE

I'll note that 'jdiag' complains that I don't have a compiler installed, but it works otherwise.  I did try adding JBC_CCOMPILER_PATH to see if that made jdiag happy but no such luck.  Maybe because I installed the "Express" edition?

You're fired.

This is good to know if it works - most peopel only get it to work by starting the SDK shell then copying all the settings.

For example, with Visual Studio Express 2008 installed (on my D drive) under jBASE 4.1.6.3, I manually added the following to my environment:

INCLUDE=D:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\include
LIB=D:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\lib;C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\Lib

(I believe that unless you're going to mix jBC and C, you don't need the second directory in LIB)

Well, the Windows SDK added bug fixes galore and so on. Best to use the latest Windows Server 2003 SDK (which is a stupid name as it isn't restricted to Windows 2003 Server). You need to upgrade your SDK, when you all get v6.1. Once again, you're fired.

And added the following to my PATH:

PATH=D:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\bin;D:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\IDE

Possibly - install the Windows 2003 Server SDK. But, you're fired anyway. Fired fired fired fired...fired.

Brad,
I've set the environment variables as you mentioned on PATH, LIB and
INCLUDE... but no progress.
So, Jim is rite, you're Fired! :)

Jim,
I've installed Windows 2003 SDK, and set the environment variables
accordingly too... again... no progress.
So, Brad You're Fired too.. :P

Sarfaraz,
Brother, I'll visit your place soon... And plz don't give me any
chance to fire you too... :)

Yep, that is right - Brad is fired always.

As I said, you do not have the environment set up correctly yet, so you are fired.


Try this:

ON your menus you will now have Windows 2003 SDK 6.1, or something like that, under which you will find a CMD shell menu option. Start that, then start the jBASE shell from there. You should find that everything works.

I am guessing that nobody at TEMENOS cares about this issue - it comes up all the time, I tell people to report it, but there are no support bulletins, no advice, nobody seems to want to report it to the jBASE guys to fix this up once and for all, and despite some of those guys being on this list, nothing seems to happen. It can't take more than an afternoon's effort to fix this up and provide a small utility that works out what the compiler is and sets variables and so on accordingly.

Dear all,
I wish to purchase an online replication software for jbase 4.1, I would appreciate some help with names of softwares for consideration.

Thanks

Bernard,

Just curious why you are not using the jBASE Transaction Journal
option. This will journal the data and can immediately replay that
journal on another jBASE server.

Dear Jim / Brad / AM / All,

Previously I mean to say that some libraries files are missing in lib
folder in T24 R8 Model Bankthat why its give you Link error because
RGP_2EMM0006.obj entry in the file but T24 is not able to find out in
library.

So there is nothing to fire me Mr. Jim.

That is why I told to AM to come to me because I already set this
problem and now T24 is running fit and fine.

Thank you very much all of you.

Bye

This is a windows error message, though not one I recognize. Turn it into hex  and look it up (remember that it isn't really negative, it is just an unsigned 32 bit number printed as signed - this should really be fixed. Make sure that you can call the CL command from the shell - if you cannot then EB.COMPILE/jcompile will be unable to call it either.

Well, it is saying that you are opening a file to a variable that isn't called F.something and reading a record into a file called R.something. The message about multiple lines makes no sense without context I think [report this to the helpdesk and suggest it is improved].

Hi All,

 

We are currently running jBase 3.4 on Windows Server 2003. Data entry people are running terminal emulators (NetTerm) to enter, edit, look-up, etc.

 

And we have been limited to working with data in western character (Romanji, apparently) though a principal portion of our business involves Japanese addresses and the use of Kanji characters.

 

So we are glacially investigating upgrading to jBase 4.1 which supports Unicode and will allow the use of Kanji characters (we hope).

 

We've contacted jBase directly but, I was wondering if anyone out there has experience already working with Kanji characters and if they might be willing to share tips, pitfalls, the odd bit of code, a jelly doughnut, whatever.

 

It would be very much appreciated.

 

Thanks,

 

Doug.

In fact the jBASE 4.1 stuff was first tested in Japan with Kanji, so you should be in good shape.

Basically, there isn't much to it on the jBASE side but the kind of things you need to watch out for are:

1) You need to use LENB specifically sometimes LEN always gives the character length, not the number of bytes;
2) You will need to use special functions to test the display width of strings and so on. Some characters in Kanji require 2 screen display positions - don't hack this kind of thing. Doing it properly the first time is best;
3) You might find you need to change some conversion and/or correlative codes to ones that are unicode aware;
4) You may find it difficult to translate some screens so that the Kanji equivalent prompts  fit into the space you were using in ASCII;
5) If using terminal emulators rather than GUIs, the only ones that work well are Vandyke's CRT and Rasmussen Software's terminal emulator;
6) Update your software to be Unicode aware, not Kanji aware, then you can move to other languages a lot easier;
7) Basically, most of the work is going to be in your application;

Jim,

 

Thanks for all this. I'm sure that more questions will pop up but this is a great start.

 

Cheers,

 

Doug.
