Hi Barry,

If I try
lnprint = Lianja.localstorage.getItem('oPref').NUPDATEDAYS

? lnprint && nothing printed

? vartype(lnprint)

The vartpe for lnprint = C

I would have expected N since it's a number in oPref

I will look into it and fix it. Seems to not work as expected.

In fact i broke it in the last beta.

Thanks Barry,

I thought it was me again

Hi David,

I've corrected that in beta6.

[avianmanagement]

Thanks Barry,

I'll try that out as soon as you upload Beta6

Hi Barry,

That works but I'm still getting something odd

** use select in test
*Lianja.localstorage.removeitem('oPref')
select * from dpref into cursor temp1
select temp1
Scatter name oPref

* ? oPref.NUPDATEDAYS && works and prints 14 as expected
Lianja.localstorage.setItem('oPref',oPref)

? Lianja.localstorage.getItem('oPref').NUPDATEDAYS

Lianja.localstorage.getItem('oPref').NUPDATEDAYS = 2

? Lianja.localstorage.getItem('oPref').NUPDATEDAYS


The result is:




They are both numeric and both have the same length, but the 2 prints with a load of space in front of it as if it's indented,

That’s just cosmetic when working interactively.

you can use ? To look at any object or array.

? opref

Brilliant that will be really useful in development

Hi David

I want to make you aware of sessionstorage also.

https://www.lianja.com/doc/index.php...rage_in_Lianja

This can be used to share data between multiple processes running on a machine.

Thanks Barry,

That is perfect for my needs when I have egg data and need to open another ap and get the values, better that attaching objects on _screen as I do now in VFP.

Also for when prgs need to pass back record objects for other things to work with.

Many thanks

David
