Hi,

I am working now with AFS (BIVc4 SP8) for a couple of months and I have a basic question I hope someone can answer.

I got my hands on two different documents on AFS:

-BaanIV Application Function Server (draft)
(BaanIV)
-Developer's Guide for Application Function Server
(Baan OpenWorld 2.1 2.2) - U7690B US

The first one is the older document.

I noticed the syntax for many of the functions is different in each document.
One example is stpapi.insert that is void in the first document and returns a long in the second document. This happens with a lot of other functions.

However, the syntax that is recognized by the compiler in the sites I've been is the one form the first document (older).

So, my questions are:

-Is this normal? (Perhaps the older syntax is the only one that works with BIV)
-Should I (or can I) update some dll, like ottstpapihand? If so, what is the solution number or procedure.

Thanks
Fred

Hi,
Yes, the stpapi functions has been updated very frequently in the solution 10923. so You can check out that.

If you upgrade your SPs you will get the new one.

or you can just install the solution 10923.

In systems, where this object(ottstpapihand) is not upgraded, it will behave the older way..
Hope this helps

Thanks, Arun Prasath for your prompt answer.

Checked the Knowledge Base and noticed that 10923 corresponds to 130401 for BIVc4.

Will try it and post the result.

Hi,

Installed 130401 and now I have the new syntax.
Also discovered that the first SP for BIVc4 that provides this functionality is SP9. Until SP8 we have the old one.

Thanks Arun
