While dealing with strings, we often require certain characters or a substring from given string. Sage X3 provides a special function to extract a substring from provided CLOB or a string.

Syntax: 

mid$(EXP_STRING,EXP_POS,EXP_NB)

Where, 

• EXP_STRING is an expression returning a CLOB or string value.
• EXP_POS is an expression returning an integer value that is the position of the first character to be extracted.
• EXP_NB is an expression returning an integer value that defines the number of characters to be extracted. 

Example:

In below example, 3 characters from 4^th position of a string “Welcome!” are extracted.

Output: 

It gives substring “com” as an output.

Hope this helps!

In Sage X3 we come across issues related to accounting effects not getting posted correctly. Issues such as account missing and unbalanced journals. To rectify such issues we need to find the accounting effects which are getting triggered during the posting of any journal.

To debug this Sage X3 provides an inbuilt functionality “Simulated Entry Generation” which simulates the entry before actually posting the journal.

Navigate: Setup >> Users >> Users >> Parameter Tab >> Accounting Interface

Img 1: User Parameter

1. To activate simulated entry generation functionality just click on a selection and select Yes – If error.

In Sage X3, there exist some standard global variables which provide information regarding current functional processing. For eg., current function, current user, a name of current user etc.

adxmac is a function used to identify the server in which the current folder, or one of its reference folder, is installed. It also allows you to obtain the network name of the client (in version 7 mode, the client is the node.js server)

Syntax: 

adxmac(Index)

Examples: 

# What is the application server name

APPSERV_NAME=adxmac(0)

Description:

An index is an integer value expression that can have the following values:

• ‘-2’ : the client. If using a ‘classic non-browser client’ then this value contains the client name or ip of where the classic client is running. If running a browser client, the web server supporting the browser connection is returned.

• ‘-1’: the process server where the script is executing.

• ‘0’ :the application server where the folder being accessed is installed. If the adxmac(0) is equal to blank (“”) then the application is the same as the process server. To return the server id or ip in this case use adxmac(-1). Note, that most X3 scripting routines that require a server id or ip accept adxmac(0) being blank and resolve blank server names.

• ‘N’: the application server where the parent folder nomap(N) is installed (it is also the folder adxmother(N-1)). If blank then the application server is the same as the process server returned in adxmac(-1).

Syntax:

I= openlog(“TRA”,1)

Fig 1.1: Openlog

This will start writing the logs in the logger.

This log needs to be closed as well, or else it will keep on writing and occupying the space in disk.

This log writing can be stopped with the below syntax:

I= closelog()

Fig1.2: Closelog

After closelog, it will available in the TRA folder in reading mode.
