How to get XFRX version and licence number

LOCAL m.loXFRX
m.loXFRX = XFRX("XFRX#INIT")
?m.loXFRX.getVersion()

m.loXFRX = XFRX("XFRX#LISTENER")
?m.loXFRX.getVersion()

How to get version of hndlib.dll or XFRXlib.fll

SET LIBRARY TO xfrxlib.fll 
?_xfgetVersion()
 
DECLARE INTEGER getVersion IN hndlib AS XFRX_getHNDLIBVersion
?XFRX_getHNDLIBVersion()

LOG file

Another thing that can help us to find out what's wrong is a log file: Before calling SetParams(), please add loSession.initLog(). Then, when you run XFRX next time, _XFRX.log file will be generated in the default directory. This file contains all errors that are trapped during XFRX execution. Attaching this file to the email is a big help for us. The alternative method is setLogFile().
Error messages are print to "Output Windows" too (since XFRX 15.8).

LOCAL m.loXFRX
m.loXFRX = XFRX("XFRX#LISTENER")
m.loXFRX.setLogFile("xfrx.log")
m.lnRetVal = m.loXFRX.SetParams("test.pdf",,,,,,"PDF",,,,.T.)
IF m.lnRetVal = 0
   REPORT FORM test OBJECT m.loXFRX
ELSE 
  ?m.loXFRX.ErrorMessage(m.lnRetVal)
ENDIF

Diagnostic mode

XFRX also has a diagnostic mode (since XFRX 14.6) that you can use to detect bugs and setup errors. You can invoke the diagnostic mode by sending "XFRX#DIAGNOSIS" as the 1st parameter of XFRX and the log file name as the 2nd parameter. When run, the log file will list the version number, registration string, vcx, dll and fll file versions and locations and other information. Please review this file when dealing with setup problems and also please send it to us attached to support questions.

Invoking XFRX diagnostic mode

LOCAL m.lcPath
m.lcPath=JUSTPATH(SYS(16))+"\"
DO XFRX WITH "XFRX#DIAGNOSIS", m.lcPath+"DIAGNOSIS.TXT"
MODIFY FILE (m.lcPath+"DIAGNOSIS.TXT") NOWAIT

External Diagnostic utility

Diagnostic mode is better and more extensive with "each" version. For old and older XFRX you can download external utility. Extract diagnosis.FXP from zip archive and copy it to folder with XFRX. Utility create file _xfrxdiag.log.

E-mail

If you have problems with a particular report, please attach it to your email as well (if possible). Also, if your report is not too entangled with your environment and you'd be able to provide us with sample data that we could use to run your report, it would help us a lot in finding out what the problem is. Do not forget to code snippet of calls XFRX (XFRX#INIT not is XFRX#LISTENER).
