Hi Chen,

As I mentioned in your ticket #5836. the root cause of the issue is line 'ls_old = this.getitemstring(row, ls_column)' in itemchanged event. PowerServer has more stringent type checking than PowerBuilder, and you can't use getitemstring to get the value of a datetime column. Though it doesn’t report any error in PowerBuilder, the return value is null.

Please use the getitemdatetime function to solve the issue.
For example:

string ls_column
datetime ls_new, ls_old

ls_column = dwo.Name
ls_new = datetime(data)
ls_old = this.getitemdatetime(row, ls_column)
IF ls_new <> ls_old OR IsNull(ls_old) THEN
pb_save.Enabled = TRUE
END IF

Regards,
ZhaoKai

"PowerServer has more stringent type checking than PowerBuilder, and you can't use getitemstring to get the value of a datetime column. "



to add to this, you can't use getitemstring on any non-string column, not just datetime. so, for example, you get the same error with number/decimals. which i just ran into due to a typo for the column name today!

did you change anything in the datawindow or database, like the type of the column?

If so, you should do a full redeploy.

I did not change the column type and tried full deploy issue persist.

The column type is datetime , suspect EditMask.DDCalendar = Yes return date instead of datetime in powerserver.

Hi Chen May;

Note that from the PS2020 documentation that the "ASE Native" driver only supports the SAP ASE DBMS version *15.0* and higher. For the older ASE 12.x DBMS releases, I believe that you would need to use ODBC instead.

Hi Chris,

We used latest ASE as below,

Adaptive Server Enterprise/16.0 SP03 PL08 HF1/EBF 29398 SMP/P/x86_64/SLES 11.1/ase160sp03pl08x/3777/64-bit/FBO/Tue Mar 31 20:32:47 2020

Hi Chen May;

Thank you for the ASE version update. In that case you should not be using "SYC" in your DB Profile or your PB native Apps. Instead, the setting should be "ASE".

As for PowerServer then .. make sure that you installed the 64bit ASE DB Client on the PS machine and not any SYC DB Client's. Also make sure that you are using the "ASE" connection option in you PowerServer Tookit's Application Profile for this PB App. This is what the PS Toolkit uses to align the generated SQL for your PS based Web/Mobile app.

Regards ... Chris

Excellent. What DBMS & version are you using and is PowerServer mapped to the same DB instance?

Hi Chen May;

   Does the application work OK when run as a native PB App?

Regards ... Chris
