Size Feature and DataPage

bfire85
FYI

The new size feature in PC-DMIS 2017 R1 does not import into DataPage+ 5.2 SP1. I use an external command to call up the DataPageStats.exe file. I have submitted a ticket about this into Tech Support.

UPDATE from Tech Support: The external command to DataPageStats.exe does not work, however the STATS/ON does work. He will be submitting a ticket to the software development group to fix this issue.

  • I'm curious for those using the external command method to create the .XML stats file. How are you dealing with updates to Datapage+ with that file path embedded in your programs? Do you edit the path when you update? I know you can install / overwrite to a neutral directory, or perhaps embedd the external command call in a subroutine so it's only a single change, but it seems using STATS/ON would be much easier to maintain.

    It does need to be updated occasionally (as found by bfire here with SIZE) to support new commands, or changes to existing commands. My concern was that when these changes occur it would potential force me to update hundreds of programs with a new file path, a small edit, but still.

    bfire has a really elegant solution below, but I'm still concerned about users who weren't thinking ahead. The Stats/On option is tied to the PC-DMIS version (rather then the Datapage version) so I've always recommended that direction when asked. I was using this thread as a bit of a sounding board to see what I was missing.
