thanks.....

GOT IT!!!! It was something STUPID on my part (as I expected.) System environment had include as c:\exp19\include. User environment had it as c:\exp19. changed to add 'include'; and it worked. I'm a TERRIBLE proofreader... Nowadays I'd be called dyslexic (I look at a stop sign and sometimes it says ...

My bad... I meant to say whether I use vx or xpp from a command line. I have xpj files that worked on my old computer and get the preprocessor error on new one. Copied entire Alaska, exp19 and project files to new computer. I've done this a few times in the past without issue. Using Alaska build 355...

I'm dead in the water..... my old computer has given up the ghost. My 'new' laptop (well, new to me) can't compile anything that uses express. Admittedly, I'm semi-retired (and only semi-programming literate) but I still occasionally get custom requests... and I got one today. I can't do anything fo...

Running the echo command shows the right value. I get the error whether I run from VX 2.0 or pbuild from command line - and only ha...

I've got old shit (ok, I'm old also)... I replaced my laptop and am trying to get alaska/express working on the new one. I copied the whole alaska folder and exp19 folder (told you it was old) onto the new computer and edited the environmental variables as follows: include: C:\ALASKA\XPPW32\INCLUDE;...

RESULTS...... If I wrap the upc string with single quotes, it goes as text... but with the quotes around it (shows in excel as '1234567890', not just the numbers. If I try chr(39) before the string, it shows as the number with a single quote before it. if I try the column formatting, it crashes on t...

Thanks.. I'll try that tomorrow - it's turkey day here and have family over

It IS a string... the field I get the data from in the dbf file is a character field (CHAR 20) and the variable I use is a character (local cUPC :="")

I don't understand... UPC code is in the middle of a string of values separated by commas If upc for an item is '1234567890' then the line would look like: [format] productID, price, vendor, UPC, description, date sold [data] ITEM123, 45.75, VENDORNAME, 1234567890, Left Handed Metric Widget, 10/15/2...
