- Additions and changes to IDBTOOLS - version history
- -------------------------------------------------------
-
- Date Description
- """"""" """""""""""
- 22jan95 Version 1.1 released.
- + Functions that returned 0=FALSE, non-zero=TRUE, now
- returns the Visual Basic value for "True", which is -1.
- The problem was that the "Not" operation did not work
- with these routines, since Visual Basic calculates
- BITWISE NOT instead of LOGICAL NOT (which would be a
- bit more inteligent). The only value giving 0 (False)
- after a BITWISE NOT operation, is -1.
- The following tests should now work as expected:
- If Not LicenseIdbTools("UserName","CODEXX") Then ...
- If Not LicenseProgram (......
- If Not Modulus10Valid (.....
- If Not Modulus11Valid (....
-
- + The functions ITabRead, ITabReadFixedRecLen and ITabWrite
- now causes a stopwatch to be displayed as the wait cursor
- while file I/O is in progress.
-
- + Attempt to read non-existent file into a table will result
- in an empty table. This gave an error before.
-
- + Minor modifications to the messagebox text describing
- the shareware restrictions/conditions for using this tool.
-
- + Improved error checking on table handles. ITabDelete now
- put 0 into the handle argument variable after the table
- has been deleted. Use of illegal handles (e.g. 0) will
- give VB Runtime error 420 (Illegal Object Ref.)
-
- + New function: FullPath("..\*.tmp") -> "C:\TEST\*.tmp"
-
- + ITabRead, type=*CSV* will now decode fields surrounded by
- quotes, allowing the given delimiter to be included in the
- data fields. Two subsequent quotes in a field surrounded
- by quotes, will be interpreted as one.
-
- 11jan95 Version 1.0 released. This is the first public release.
- No known bugs. The libraries have been used for approx.
- 2 months by several advanced beta testers.
