Are ISPEXEC services available in ISPF panel REXX? - panel

Here's an ISPF panel definition:
)BODY
Hello, world!
)PROC
*REXX
ADDRESS ISPEXEC "CONTROL ERRORS CANCEL"
*ENDREXX
)END
The panel displays fine, but the imbedded REXX immediately fails:
*-* ADDRESS ISPEXEC "CONTROL ERRORS CANCEL"
+++ RC(-3) +++
A return code of -3 typically means that the command environment doesn't know what to do with the command.
It seems reasonable that an ISPF panel would be able to cope with an ISPF request. Any idea what's going on?

*REXX code cannot issue ISPF service requests as per note 5 in the article:
The *REXX statement.
I'd suggest having a good read of the article.

MikeT is absolutely correct as is stated in the ISPF Dialog Developer's Guide. I would suggest downloading the ISPF PDF's if you will be maintaining or coding ISPF services

ms access "enter parameter value" when I enable macros

I have an issue in MS Access.
I have a report that calls a query where the results are filtered with a value taken from the form that calls the report.
The condition on the field looks like this: ​[FORMS]![Main Menu]![Combo42]
When I open the project with the macros DISABLED the report works okay.
But when I enable macros (either from the enable content pop-up yellow line that appears on top or enabling all macros in the trust setting ) and I try to open the report the "enter parameter value" pop up appears.
It looks like when the I enable macros "Combo42" field becomes unaccessible from the query.
I have tried all the possible combinations from "trust center" settings menu even though only the "enable macros" seems to have any affect.
Is has to be setting related because the issue appears only on "freshly installed" office that I installed by my self (i tried many versions) but when I use pre-configured office (i.e. company laptop) the issue doesn't appear.
Does anyone has any idea why this is happening?
Thanks
UPDATE!
after some time investigation tying to answer some questions i found the solution here
MS Access VBA code editor character encoding and copy/paste
different outcome same root cause.
Have you tried renaming the reference to a valid field name after enabling Macros? This can help:
Enter Parameter Value

CodeIgniter Blank Page

n00b here. After searching the forums I have not yet come across this problem as I am experiencing it.
I have a CI site that was working correctly until about three days ago. My problem is as follows:
On button click - Page Loads correctly.
On Enter press - CI Blank Page of Death loads.
For example: When I login, after the login process has run it must reroute me to the Dashboard, unless I still have a temporary password where I get rerouted to the "Change Password" screen first and then to the Dashboard.
AS LONG AS I USE THE BUTTONS AND CLICK THEM EVERYTHING WORKS.
On ENTER PRESS, I get the Blank Screen of Death.
However, on TAB to BUTTON and then ENTER it works.
The problem is not consistent however. I have some processes that do not have views attached and NONE of them will run - hit ENTER and get blank. They are all failing on ENTER PRESS.
I am slowly going off my trolley. Logging is ON, Directories for cache and logs are 775. NOTHING is showing in my logs...
First Try to active error handlers for displaying of errors for addittional info to post here what error is occuring..
// change settings for error handler to show errors
// $this setup is used for checking errors for development to be shown....
ini_set('display_errors', 1);
error_reporting(E_ALL);
by the way if your using CI version 2 higher
you can see it in its index.php file an configuration for displaying error also.
define('ENVIRONMENT', 'development'); //just set up environtment to development
Even though there are accepted answers I wanted to add a way that worked for me to figure out this problem.
Usually the "Blank Page" indicates a PHP parsing error somewhere in the code. Strange thing for me was that on my local MAMP based test server the code ran fine. I FTP it to my hosted server and all of a sudden, blank page of death.
Even though I had errors on, log errors on, display errors on, nothing appears in any log file.
I was able to find the error by a funny little trick. I added an echo line in CodeIgniter.php in the system/core. Obviously hacking the core was not a great idea but all I wanted to do was to see how far it was getting in the load process.
When my echo appeared after trying to load a page on the remote hosted server it also displayed the parsing problem in a derived controller! Not sure why the error did not come out without the "echo" added. But adding it seemed to trigger some output to be generated, IE my echo line and the PHP parse error was appended.
Not sure if this will help anyone but it turned out to be a nice easy way to find the error which only showed on the remote server.
Obviously, don't forget to put your core file back to its original state without the echo.
This was fixed by copying the application into a fresh CI 2.3 install.
I have no idea what actually caused this "erratic" behaviour.
The application worked correctly as designed whenever a BUTTON was CLICKED but gave the blank death screen when ENTER was PRESSED.
This inconsistent behaviour is what threw me. The fact that my logs (CI and APACHE) also showed nothing was also very strange. Had this been a parse error, surely the behaviour on "Click" and on "Enter Press" should have been the same.
My non-view controllers for various ad-hoc admin jobs are now also working correctly, which they were not before, as they use "Enter Press" (having no buttons to "Click").
I am still going to invite best guesses as to why this behaviour occurred the way it did.
Surely someone out there (Phil Sturgeon et al) with extensive CI experience has encountered this non-consistent blank screen behaviour and knows what caused it.
Thank you to all the people who took the time and effort to assist me!!!
Big UP!!! StackOverflow!!!

Error in BIO read. Program will now exit

A message box periodically pops up with the title "Event Notification Application" and the text "Error in BIO read. Program will now exit"
Can anyone tell me what this error message is about? It occurs in a production environment and I have no idea where it's comming from.
Any clues very much appreciated!
We had this error message on an IBM xSeries and it was caused by the LSI MegaRAID Storage software. Use Process Explorer and check the properties of the pop up.
If it's actually BIO_read (with underscore), then it would be related to OpenSSL. Of course, whoever put the message there might have dropped the underscore - so I'd look for applications using the OpenSSL DLLs (libeay32.dll, libssl32.dll).
I've used Process Explorer to diagnose these issues before: start it when the message is showing, click the bullseye icon on the toolbar and hold it down, then drag over and release when the bullseye is on the target window. The process will be highlighted in the main program area. Also, check your Application event log for errors, and see if you have any services that are set for automatic startup that are not running after you close the error dialog.
For what it's worth, I'd bet this issue is related to an auto-updater for some software installed on your machine. Try to identify those auto-update services (I bet McAfee has one) and disable them for a time (if that's safe.) Only disable one at a time so you can be reasonably sure which one the culprit is; be sure to enable it if it is ruled out.
Best of luck!
Do you have norton installed? It seems to be related to Norton 2000's live update.
Try disabling that and see if the error goes away.
The culprit was some raid software.

Windows7 explorer context strip hook?

Hy everybody,
I'm wondering if it's possible to add a new button via C++ or C# to windows 7 explorer "context strip"(don't know if this is correct name) - like on picture below.
My reason for this is because a lot of times I'm switching on&off "Show hidden files, folders and drives" functionality under Tools->Folder option->View. Therefore i want to simplify this process with a click of a button.
I was looking into ShellExecteEx function, but I am not sure I can do that. Can Anybody direct me in right direction?
thanks,
regards
I highly recommend using AutoIt for this task. Second URL comes complete with examples of how to insert buttons in various programs - however, be sure to read complete topic for misc. updates to the provided code.
See:
http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=9517
Btw: I misread topic to begin with; gui 'context' related material in Windows is often taken to deal with right-click menus
Edit: limit on urls for new users on Stack Overflow mean I had to cut out some of less essential links - google away.
To answer part of the question, I think it is possible as for quite some time we've seen small programs to add a "New Folder" button to the explorer. I think those still works with Win 7.
Look at http://tools.tortoisesvn.net/StExBar for example
[Edit] Forgot to clarify that Source Code for StExBar is on Google Code

Save information from MS crash reporter?

On Windows XP when a process crashes, we get a dialog box with a link:
"To view technical information about the error report, click here."
The "click here" link brings up a whole lot of information in a window, but no obvious way to save it to a file. Is there a way? It would be very nice to be able to send that data to several different external vendors we're working with.
The only other option I see in the dialog box is to send it to Microsoft, but this crash is likely not Microsoft's fault and there is no reason to send it to them.
If you are a company, you can register with Microsoft to be able to download WER reports.
As of when you see this dialog box, you should still be able to manually attach a debugger (e.g. Visual Studio) to the crashing process and take a look at any available exception records. Alternatively, I believe you should be able to register Visual Studio to handle these crashes instead of the normal error reporting mechanism. This article seems to have more information about that option:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/5hs4b7a6.aspx
Hope this helps...
Maybe a bit late for '08 question, but anyway, you may use Error Report Grabber software for this task
