Back to article list Search Articles Add Comment Printer friendly Direct link SQL Related Articles: Better SQL Part 5 2002-07-24 -- Dan Pressnell In the demo app at
http://www.icetips.com/downloadfile.php?FileID=59 , the
generic SQL work file sqlfile is declared in the dictionary. That makes it
convenient to use in multi-app programs.
But if you go to the project settings for the app and turn on debug mode for compiling, you start to get an error when you run the program. The FileManager class for sqlfile tells you (over and over) that you haven't called the close method. Because sqlfile is a special utility file, the ABC methods are not applicable to it. But the templates will generate a class for it anyway, because it's there, and one of the things the class does is register a callback interface. That callback interface intercepts the close() procedure (the runtime close procedure, not the class's method), and determines that you are not using "correct" ABC. In this case, the assumptions that the FileManager class is making are wrong. Fortunately, there is a one-line fix to this. It appears that FileManager registers the callback interface only once. You have to unregister it once, and all is fixed. Somewhere after your program starts, put this line: callback(sqlfile, access:sqlfile.filecallbackinterface, 1)A good place to put it is in the AppStartup procedure. That will unregister the callback interface that the FileManager registered for sqlfile, and you won't get the error message any more. I haven't seen any bad side effects from this.
