The following %ff code worked for the past 25 years through version 8.5 (using salflibc.dll, dated 4/29/19);however, version 8.7 using salflibc.dll dated 11/17/20 does not work with the following %ff code. Version 8.7 using salflibc.dll dated 4/29/20 does work however..........

C...Transmission Penalty Factor
i=WINIO@('%ff%tcPhantom Transmission Penalty Fact:%tc %ta'//
1 '%fl%7rf&',iTextColor,-1L,0D0,999D0,dHRDispFactB(1))

Sorry about that.

An adjustment was made for %ff within %ob because it was causing problems. This has had and unexpected impact on some existing code. You may need to modify your code in order to use the latest DLLs.

This may be just a case of (say) replacing %ff by %nl. If it is not obvious then let me know and I will take a look.

%nl does not work with the 4/29/19 DLL so I assume it won't work with the new one either. I have an application with at least a hundred input windows and thousands of input variables. These variables are arranged in boxes as is seen in the code I sent. This is a major issue for me as the code has worked for 25 years prior and the windows are useless if the %ff don't work properly. What is your suggestion if I have a major box (%ob)with several internal boxes that get placed below each other using the %ff format code.

One thing I've used is the %ob option of [bottom_exit]. This forces the next box to be below the current box. Just like of a %ff was issued.

Thanks for the suggestion; however, that doesn't work either. It seems to have something to do with a box inside another box.

Paul,

The the %ob[bottom_exit) doesn't work on many of my input windows. Is there another solution?

I will take a look. It may be necessary to provide a ClearWin+ option that restores the previous %ob%ff behaviour.

I will need the whole of a winio@ construction in order to check this out.

Can you find a simpler/shorter sample of a complete winio@ sequence and either post it here or put it on DropBox.

This turns out to be a regression that has now been fixed.

New (post v8.70) DLLs will be made available shortly.

Paul,

When do you expect the new DLL to be available. Thanks.
