Studio Tech Tip

Did you know: When defining a list using list.$define(param1,param2,...) you can specify up to 255 parameters, that is, you can define a list with up to 255 columns using this method. Using parameter 256 will reset the list definition back to zero columns and any further parameters will restart from column 1. However, it is possible to define a list that has up to a maximum of 400 columns using the $add() method against the $cols group of the list to define each column in turn. The $add() method is specified as follows:

Do list.$cols.$add(columnname,
    Data_Type,Data_SubType,
    Data_ SubLength)

Omnis at LinuxTag
LinuxTag 2005

RD Germany recently attended the LinuxTag show in Karlsruhe, Germany. Over the years this event has grown into the largest show in Europe for Linux related technology.

We showed visitors how to build Omnis web applications in 20 minutes and managed to attract a lot of interest for Omnis Studio. The show confirmed the increasing adoption of Linux for business applications, and in particular for the public sector in Europe, including government ministries, research and the educational sector.
