Re: Subfile Does Not Display in WebFacing - But Data isthere -- WDSCI-L

Displaying the HTML source was a good idea. But I'm not sure what the data is telling me.

Here's what the subfile source looks like from a subfile page that does display correctly:

<TR id="l1r12" class="subfileRecord1"> <TD colspan=1> </TD> <TD NOWRAP colspan=3 rowspan=1>Pla</TD> <TD colspan=1> </TD> <TD NOWRAP colspan=1 rowspan=1> </TD> <TD colspan=1> </TD> <TD NOWRAP align=right colspan=4 rowspan=1>1001</TD> <TD colspan=1> </TD> <TD NOWRAP colspan=68 rowspan=1>JONES MARY                                      Pro Se              </TD> </TR>

And here's what the source looks like from the one that does not display correctly. It does not appear to contain a subfile and some of the fields have a value of $Unamed...

<TR id="l1r21" class="trStyle"> <TD colspan=1> </TD> <TD NOWRAP colspan=6 rowspan=1>Action</TD> <TD colspan=1> </TD> <TD NOWRAP colspan=1 rowspan=1><INPUT id="l1_DSP010ER$CODE" previousValue="N" class="wf_cs wf_borderOff wf_ri_default wf_field" VALUE="N" SIZE=1 MAXLENGTH=1 STYLE="width: 1.2em" ></TD> <TD colspan=3> </TD> <TD NOWRAP colspan=2 rowspan=1>Ln</TD> <TD colspan=1> </TD> <TD NOWRAP colspan=2 rowspan=1><INPUT id="l1_DSP010ER$D" previousValue="00" class="wf_cs wf_rightJustify wf_borderOff wf_ri_default wf_field" VALUE="00" SIZE=2 MAXLENGTH=2 STYLE="width: 2.4em" ></TD> <TD colspan=1> </TD> <TD NOWRAP colspan=6 rowspan=1>Search</TD> <TD colspan=2> </TD> <TD NOWRAP colspan=22 rowspan=1><INPUT id="l1_DSP010ER$SNAME1" previousValue="" class="wf_cs wf_borderOff wf_ri_default wf_field" VALUE="" SIZE=22 MAXLENGTH=22 ></TD> <TD colspan=1> </TD> <TD NOWRAP colspan=10 rowspan=1></TD> <TD colspan=1> </TD> <TD NOWRAP colspan=20 rowspan=1>CONTINUE NEXT PAGE  </TD> </TR>


The above code appears in the source right where the subfile should be.

Could it be the way the RPG program writes the screen to the buffer maybe? Possibly some odd method that is not accounted for by the Webfacing tool? The reason I suggest this is because this is a fairly old application, written by someone who knew RPGII very well, but did not really feel comfortable with RPGIII. It's just possible that they were using some old RPGII coding techniques to maniuplate screen data that the Webfacing tool wasn't expecting.

Maybe.

I don't know that to be the case. This is one of those monolithic old programs that is close to six thousand lines of code and the thought of digging through it to figure this out or rewrite it is horrifying. :-)

I was hoping to find a solution or at least a work around that I could apply through WDSC rather than having to dig through this program code.

Also, this program is at the heart of the application that is to be webfaced so if it doesn't work then the whole webfacing project is not going to be able to be used.

So I guess I may be stuck debugging line by line anyway...but...if there's any way around that....I'd be willing to pay as much as two dollars and seventeen cents for a solution. :-)

Have you tried to right-click and 'View source'? Sometimes you can see
data in the source for a browser window or at least tell why it's not
visible from the rendered source.

I don't know why it would not be displaying the subfile control record.
The
call to the program to display that subfile is the same from green-screen
and from the web. There's no reason that I can see why the Subfile Control
record would not be showing.
To me, it appears that it's only the data that is not visible. It's there,
just not visible.
