Hi all,

Is there a way of reporting on when Windows/Templates were created/modified in Arev 3.12?

You can check code, as the compilation date is stamped.

The Banded Report writer also date stamps all changes

Is there a way to do this on Windows/Templates or do I need to install an MFS and assume "the horse has bolted".

Any help greatly appreciated.

TIA

Claude

Claude,

Indirectly, you may be able to use the compile dates on the symbolic dictionary items which appear on the Window, and the compile dates on the RBASIC routines which handle the escape logic in the Window.

It's a bit vague, but the best we can suggest. There is no direct date stamp or audit on Windows, save for the presence of .BAK copies of each edited template. If you cleared these .BAK records out at a known date (say for release), you may be able to recognize the records which have been changed subsequently (as these will have .BAK copies present).

An MFS on Windows / Templates is the best way to go here.

We have created a modified TCL window that executes our own logging process prior to:

1. Copy the original version of the record prior to edit/paint

2. Pass the command thru to the TCL processor and await its completion

3. Check after exiting the Paint/Edit for changes (by comparision

 to original version)

4. If Changed log the change and date/time and username

 (in a LOG File)

5. Modify the Source Code (If program) and add/update a Modification

 History section (with a prompted comment)

 or Time Stamp the Window Record.

Work like a charm (tho it took some working out)

This modified TCL also has some quick keys/shortcut keys included for

searching TCL stack and locating/searching for records in Source Files for editing/painting.

Sounds Mahhhhvelous

Are you going to post it, or do you want $$$ for the code?

Regards

Claude
