Hardware / Monitor suggestions
« on: November 12, 2024, 06:35:38 pm »
Hi,

I'm planning to purchase a new monior, minimum 32 inches, must have DP and/or HDMI.
Noticed that there are lots of relatively cheap 60 Hz available, what's the minimum "good" Hz these days?

Any recommendations?

Setup & Installation / No mouse/keyboard after BIOS update
« on: November 10, 2024, 05:33:04 pm »
Hi,

I've successfully updated BIOS on my Thinkstation P520 but now the USB mouse and USB keyboard are not working in AOS 5.0.4 nor in AOS 5.1.
(All works in Win10)
The new BIOS, S03KT67A, is quite different from the old one so I'm not sure if there is a setting somewhere that needs to be changed.
(I've never run this system in UEFI and it looks like all CSM settings from old BIOS are intact.)

Setup & Installation / Switch from CSM to UEFI
« on: October 28, 2024, 05:22:56 pm »
I have a system with AOS 5.0.4 and Win10 installed on separate disks, (using AirBoot, CSM).
Does anyone have a "step by step" for how to switch from CSM to UEFI ?

Programming / Start program from VX-Rexx
« on: March 22, 2024, 09:54:21 pm »
Hi,

I have a cmd file with this line;

address cmd.exe "start /C /min P:\test\pdftotext.exe source.PDF input.txt"

and it works fine (converting the pdf to txt).

Trying to run the same line in VX-Rexx is not working.

Got some good tips in the below thread:

https://www.os2world.com/forum/index.php/topic,2932.msg32804.html#msg32804

I've tried any "combination" I could think of but no success.
At one point I got the error message "private_alloc failed, error code = 0x00000137".

Anyone who knows how to get it to work in VX-Rexx?

Setup & Installation / DB2 v. 6.1 / Java
« on: February 22, 2024, 04:55:23 pm »
It seems like DB2 requires an older Java version than the OpenJDK that comes with ArcaOS.
The DB2 java apps works with jre.exe and not java.exe.
Tried to install Java 1.4 but got some error.

Is there a work around to make DB2 work with OpenJDK, or any other solution?

Setup & Installation / AOO4.11.1/Firefox/Seamonkey trouble
« on: June 07, 2023, 02:30:16 pm »
After installing AOO 4.11.1 I cannot start Firefox or Seamoneky.

Following from popup.log:

06-07-2023  14:11:58  SYS2070  PID 0031  TID 0001  Slot 007c
P:\SEAMONKEY\SEAMONKEY.EXE
ICUUC->STDCPP6.__ZNSt18condition_variableC1Ev
127

06-07-2023  14:12:01  SYS2070  PID 0032  TID 0001  Slot 007c
G:\PROGRAMS\FIREFOX\FIREFOX.EXE
ICUUC->STDCPP6.__ZNSt18condition_variableC1Ev
127

AOO writer/calc starts ok but when opening an existing spreadsheet I get the warning
"Not all attributes could be read"
After clicking ok on the warning the spreadsheet is displayed as normal.

Any ideas?

Programming / SQL running total
« on: May 19, 2023, 05:54:52 pm »
Hi,

This statement works with SQLite;

select amount, (select sum(t2.amount) from example t2 where t2.id <= t1.id) as accumulated from example t1 order by id

Does anyone know how to make it work with dBase (IV/V)?

(I've found many examples for other databases but none of them works with dBase.)

Programming / Rexx cumulative values
« on: May 14, 2023, 05:26:48 pm »
In a VX-Rexx program I have this container, QRY_2:

|TEKSTFELT | TALLFLT1 | TALLFLT2 |
|aaa       |     10.00|          |
|aaa       |     10.00|          |
|aaa       |     10.00|          |
|bbb       |    100.00|          |
|bbb       |    100.00|          |
|bbb       |    100.00|          |
|ccc       |   1000.00|          |
|ccc       |   1000.00|          |
|ccc       |   1000.00|          |

Running this code (from a push button):

ok = VRMethod( "QRY_2", "MoveFirst" )
do while( ok = 1 )
    call VRMethod "QRY_2", "RowData", "data."
    str = ""
    do i = 1 to data.0
        str = str data.i
    end
    say str
    ok = VRMethod( "QRY_2", "MoveNext" )
end

Results in:

aaa 10.00 DATA.3
aaa 10.00 DATA.3
aaa 10.00 DATA.3
bbb 100.00 DATA.3
bbb 100.00 DATA.3
bbb 100.00 DATA.3
ccc 1000.00 DATA.3
ccc 1000.00 DATA.3
ccc 1000.00 DATA.3

The problem is that I need the third column in the container, TALLFLT2 (displayed as DATA.3 above), to get updated with cumulative values from column TALLFLT1, also it must «reset» when the value in TEKSTFELT changes, like this:

|TEKSTFELT | TALLFLT1 | TALLFLT2|
|aaa       |     10.00|    10.00|
|aaa       |     10.00|    20.00|
|aaa       |     10.00|    30.00|
|bbb       |    100.00|   100.00|
|bbb       |    100.00|   200.00|
|bbb       |    100.00|   300.00|
|ccc       |   1000.00|  1000.00|
|ccc       |   1000.00|  2000.00|
|ccc       |   1000.00|  3000.00|

Ideas are welcome.

Utilities / Intersolv/ODBC
« on: April 17, 2023, 09:36:17 pm »
Some time ago I bought the Intersolv DataDirect ODBC Pack and I got it in unopened condition.
The software came on three diskettes and they turn out to be for Windows only!
On the box it is clearly stated "OS/2 2.x " under "System Requirements".

Does anyone know where I can obtain the ODBC drivers for OS2?

Programming / SQL VX-Rexx
« on: April 10, 2023, 08:25:26 pm »
Hi,

I have a sql query created with DBExpert, and it works fine in DBE.

When trying to use the same SQL statement in VX-Rexx I get this error:

[ODBC dBase driver] [dBase] Extra characters at end of query: JOIN.

VX-Rexx is set up to use the same odbc driver as DBExpert so I suspect that VX-Rexx is "doing"
something to the sql statement before sending it to the driver.
(Simple SQL statements without "JOIN" works fine with VX-Rexx.)

Has anyone experience with this?

Applications / GS adding text to pdf's
« on: February 28, 2023, 04:22:56 pm »
Hi,

I'm using gsos2 to add text to pdf-files and it has worked fine until I had to insert some special Norwegian characters.
Instead of inserting the characters æ, ø and å it creates blank spaces. (The ps-file that gsos2 uses for adding the text
shows the special characters correctly.)
The third line in the attached test.pdf is added by gsos2, should be identical to the first word in line 1 but three special
characters are missing.

Ideas anyone?

Applications / DMARC error
« on: August 17, 2022, 01:26:17 pm »
Hi,

I'm sending a lot of e-mails with Seamonkey 2.35 and it woks fine.
However, I've now been informed by one recipient (a company) that the e-mail I sent them has a "DMARC-error".

Got the following info from them;
---
Error info: Sender Policy Framework (SPF) error.

DMARC error. This error means that the message failed authentication tests and is not DMARC Compliant.
A DMARC Compliance failure means that both SPF & DKIM verification tests failed.
---

Anyone who knows aything about this?
