I have a PROIV file called EMPFILE.PRO DEFINITION (in PROIV V6.1) as follow :-

EMPFILE.PRO

AK - EMP_NUM - A5 (I store the employee number)
A - PATH - A60 (I store the PATH of my client machine where the .gif/ .jpeg file is)
A - FILENAME - A20 (jpeg,gif AND bmp files)

In my screen I pass through the emp_num and that will be associated with the employee's picture on local hard drive where the path is pointing to the files.

After read no error LOGIC on EMPFILE.PRO in the function I would expect :-
PATH = "c://temp/"
FILENAME = "Steve.jpeg"

I would then say in the Logic after I have found the record.
$$PATH = PATH (ex EMPFILE.PRO)
$FILENAME = FILENAME (ex EMPFILE.PRO)

$$FILEPATH = $$PATH + $FILENAME
UMSG($$FILEPATH,-1) the results would be - c://temp/Steve.jpeg

When I enquire ,on the screen,the emp_num which is associated with Steve.jpeg, I would like to display Steve.jpeg on the screen,which would be Steve's picture.

I tried using #A = CLIENT.GetPATH($FILENAME,$$PATH) No Luck.
I have done this many years ago,I cannot remember what method I executed.No BLOB's required.

Any ideas?

Please find the attached prototype screen that is running using BLOB database datatype on http protocol.I am trying to achieve the same output in PROIV screen to display the associated picture to the employee record.

Thanks,
Matthews

Matt,

Perhaps it's that I'm working with an antiquated system that rarely changes its version of ProIV (Glovia ), but the last time I checked, it wasn't possible to access files that are on our computer's HD (PATH = "c://temp/")...we must upload files to be used by Glovia to the ProIV directory. Please let me know if this has changed in a newer version of ProIV because I am tired of doing so, but perhaps uploading the jpg to your ProIV directory will solve your problem of not being able to view it.

Hi Andy.
We have opted to put all picture under PROIV's default client directory and the programs are running fine and displaying picture for that particular record.We have to leave with it at this moment.
Thanks Andy,

Image caching is your friend....

[Matthews Estrice]

The application has been running for 4 years,cache as yet.We have stressed tested the requests,we did not encounter the cache.The picture is made up of button and an Icon Property.I sometimes call 8 .gif files in one function and do a permutation of pictures.

Hi Andy,

But my understanding is that we can display files on client's PC (path = "c:/temp" etc.) even the Glovia server is running on Unix say for example.

My test is on Glovia 6, Proiv 4.6r534, Sun Solaris platform.

If you put a jpg in EGMS and defined SYDOCLKS as using local, then you can specify in EGMS an image file for an item using local drive. I am using c:\temp which access my pc's jpg but I believe I can also use //sharedserver/ if my PC can access a window based network drive.
