Powerbuilder Datawindow Error

Help, our team updated / changed our Laptops from Windows XP to Windows 7 64 bits, which were supplied with the laptop. therefore it is licensed and cannot be downgraded.

When using the datawindow window and adding a second argument

I get column 2 with an invalid name and / or length error ...

I also opened another Datawindow already made from a previous laptop with a few arguments. every 2 arguments. the name is missing .. but when you remove the top. you can see an invisible argument.

Any patch I need to install. I can not continue my programming

The workaround posted by @Slapout did not help me. However, I found a KB article on the Sybase website that helped:

It seems that all HP computer systems come preloaded with Digital Persona. This program is used by a fingerprint scanner built into many of its laptop systems. They also install it on desktop computers. There is a service created with the name Authentication Service or Biometric Authentication Service. These services must be stopped so that the search argument error is resolved.

On the HP Elitebook 2740p, discontinuing the touch panel called Tablet PC Input Service will resolve the search argument error.

Another search software is the DisplayFusion multi-monitor tool. Killing this process will also solve the problem.

I could not find any services with them, but I found DpAgent.exe and several of its options in the list of task manager processes. Killing them, they immediately fixed the problem.

well, for me none of the above methods worked, but I had a workaround. I added the first parameter, as usual, using the data editor. My first parameter name: "username" is a string. I would like to add a second parameter: "password". To do this, I took the following steps:

  • Open the datawindow window (double-click the datawindow object)
  • Click the data source toolbar button
  • Select Design / Convert to Syntax
  • Click back and save the data window.

After that, open the data source:

  • Right-click the datawindow object
  • Change Source
  • String search like: arguments = (("
  • In my case, these were: arguments = (("username", string))
  • Add the second argument this way (in my case): arguments = (("username", string), ("password", string))

So, you just need to copy the first argument after the decimal point. Of course, you must specify the name and type for the second argument, as in my example!

I have this problem too. Here's a workaround:

Create a third argument under the second. Give it the same name and type of second argument. Then remove the second argument and click OK.

This issue may also be caused by entering Unity mode on the VMWare workstation. Once Unity Mode is turned on, an error occurs when adding a second search argument.

If the second search argument already exists, it will actually look empty until you exit Unity mode.

This does not seem to be a problem if VMWare is running in windowed mode, full-screen mode, or full-screen mode superimposed on multiple monitors.

I ran into a similar problem, but it is more a compatibility issue. You need to go to the shortcut properties page and go to the compatibility tab, select "Run this compatibility mode with the program for - Windows XP (Service Pack 3)" - this should solve your problem.

Hope this helps.
