symbol.New Entity with SQL data
This new entity is designed to allow better retrieval of data blocks from SQL defined
databases.
The entity has a Get sequential function with the same parameter interface as the existing
one. The diference is in the way the Select instruction is used. The function uses meat
code to construct a 'Where' clause from the Restrictor and Positioner parameters. In
addition, it also includes any selection fields in the 'Equal', 'Greater then', 'Greater
than or equal', 'Less than', 'Less than or equal', 'Contains' and 'Starting with'
variables. In the existing version, these variables were used to select rows
programatically. The new function includes them in the 'Where' clause with the appropriate
operator.
This function uses the new 'Select where' action diagram instruction.
New National Language
The class libraries now have a Turkish version in addition to all of the existing
languages.
New Server Variant

Default Objects.MDI Template.Common menu
Default Objects.Dialog
Reset the background color to 'No value' for the List control in Control defaults. This brings the control type into line with the other control defaults.
Default Objects.MDI Template.Information.Information Panel
The panel color has been reset to 'No value' to allow the panel to display the correct system color.
Business Entity.List Attributes.Get Sequential
Code has been added to dynamically determine which of two 'Position' instructions should
be used. In most circumstances, the more (SQL) efficient 'Position EQ Restrictor' will be
used. Only when the Positioner variable contains at least one field with a value and this
field is not in the Restrictor, will the current 'Position GE Positioner' be used.
This only affects views designed for SQL databases.
