QUESTION:
I created a new workspace and in there a new project, a web project. When I compile this project the compiler gives the following errors:
----Compiler Error Summary----
Error 4298: C:\Visual DataFlex Projects\Test\AppSrc\WebApp.src (ln 0) Command not found FLEX$INIT
Error 4298: C:\Visual DataFlex Projects\Test\AppSrc\WebApp.src (ln 1) Command not found USE
Error 4298: C:\Visual DataFlex Projects\Test\AppSrc\WebApp.src (ln 3) Command not found OBJECT
Error 4298: C:\Visual DataFlex Projects\Test\AppSrc\WebApp.src (ln 4) Command not found END_OBJECT
Error 4298: C:\Visual DataFlex Projects\Test\AppSrc\WebApp.src (ln 6) Command not found OBJECT
Error 4298: C:\Visual DataFlex Projects\Test\AppSrc\WebApp.src (ln 7) Command not found USE
Error 4298: C:\Visual DataFlex Projects\Test\AppSrc\WebApp.src (ln 19) Command not found END_OBJECT
Error 4298: C:\Visual DataFlex Projects\Test\AppSrc\WebApp.src (ln 21) Command not found SEND
Error 4348: C:\Visual DataFlex Projects\Test\AppSrc\WebApp.src (ln 22) Unresolved control block
What is wrong here? I can compile the example applications without problems.
ANSWER:
The DataFlex compiler uses a file called FLEX.CFL, a compiled command library, that stores the commands that are allowed in the language.
The above errors indicate that the compiler found a FLEX.CFL where the instructions used in the program being compiled could not be found. To fix this error, review the content of the directories specified for your workspace (in its WS file) -- e.g. the workspace DataPath setting could point to a directory that contains a FLEX.CFL from a different version of DataFlex.
Note:
In this specific case, it was confirmed that the DataPath was mapped to the FLEX23 directory and that the same tables plus the filelist that was used in a legacy application needed to be used in the web application.
To solve the problem, the FLEX.CFL was renamed so that it cannot be found by Visual DataFlex. The DataFlex 2.3b application will continue to run without problems; it will only not compile -- for that, the file will need to be renamed back to FLEX.CFL.
