EEP Restrictions

R:BASE executes a RUN command file when you include a Custom EEP within a form. However, there are restrictions on the command syntax and the types of commands you can use in an entry/exit procedure. In your entry/exit procedures you cannot include the following commands:

 

COMMIT

INPUT

QUIT

RBDEFINE

UPGRADE

RESTORE

ROLLBACK

RBSYNC

RECOVER

FLUSH

ON CONNECT/PACK

ON DISCONNECT/EXIT

ON ERROR

ABORT

GET

RBAPP

 

Function Restrictions:

 

In an EEP that uses the CHKKEY function, you need to replace the CHKKEY function with a PAUSE command. Windows interrupts and takes the key specified by the CHKKEY function before the key can be passed to the CHKKEY function; therefore, the EEP does not receive the information that a key was pressed. In programs run from the R> Prompt, the CHKKEY function runs correctly.
