Based on this article, Using Reg.exe to Offset Time Zones From a Windows-Based System, I have a windows command in my site profile that provides a timezone offset.

The command in question is

! REG QUERY ...

This command is visible when I view the source, even if I have &ECHO set to OFF. How would I suppress display of the execution of a ! command?

Since the command is a !, I can't search for in on Tech Support.

Francis,
Exactly what do you have in your site.wfs file?
I've tried to do this under 764 webfocus, and I had to put the command in a fex and use the _site_profile in my site.wfs to include the fex to get it to work at all.
But, when it worked, nothing from this fex came up in my view source.

The site profile I modified is:

Drive:\ibi\client53\wfc\etc\site.wfs

The line I added is:

_site_profile=-INCLUDE SITEPROF

siteprof.fex contains:

SQL SQLMSS SET CONVERSION LONGCHAR TEXT
SQL SQLMSS SET ERRORTYPE DBMS
-INCLUDE TIMEZONE
  

timezone.fex contains:

-*-- System call to write the registry value to a file
! REG QUERY HKLM\SYSTEM\CURRENTCONTROLSET\CONTROL\TIMEZONEINFORMATION /V ACTIVETIMEBIAS > TZ.TXT

-*-- Filedef the generated file so that it can be read by WebFOCUS
FILEDEF TZ DISK ./TZ.TXT (LRECL 80 RECFM V
-RUN

-*-- Loop through the file to find the line that contains the required value
-LOOP
-READ TZ &LINE.A80.
-TYPE &LINE
-IF &LINE OMITS 'ACTIVETIMEBIAS' GOTO LOOP;
-RUN

-*-- extract the value using GETTOK
-SET &HEX=GETTOK(&LINE, 128, -1, 'x', 10, 'A10');

-*-- Decode the hex value returned by Windows to a decimal value
-SET &OFFSET =DECODE &HEX(
- 'fffffd30' '-720', 'fffffd6c' '-660', 'fffffda8' '-600', 'fffffde4' '-540',
- 'fffffe20' '-480', 'fffffe5c' '-420', 'fffffe98' '-360', 'fffffed4' '-300',
- 'ffffff10' '-240', 'ffffff2e' '-210', 'ffffff4c' '-180', 'ffffff88' '-120',
- 'ffffffc4'  '-60', '0'           '0', '3c'         '60', '78'        '120',
- 'b4'        '180', 'd2'        '210', 'f0'        '240', '10e'       '270',
- '12c'       '300', '14a'       '330', '159'       '345', '168'       '360',
- '186'       '390', '1a4'       '420', '1e0'       '480', '21c'       '540',
- '23a'       '570', '258'       '600', '294'       '660', '2d0'       '720',
- '30c'       '780'  ELSE '0');

-*-- Set up the number of hours to offset GMT time
-SET &&OFFSETHOURS = -(&OFFSET / 60);
-*-- Set up the number of minutes to offset GMT time
-SET &&OFFSETMINS  = -(&OFFSET);

This is based on something I found in a tips and techniques posting.

It's the ! REG QUERY line that is displayed in all the fexes - none of the other stuff is displayed.

Thanks.

Francis,

What would happen if you remove the -TYPE &LINE line from your timezone.fex file?

Hope this helps ...

GamP!!!!

Silly me.

Thanks very much!!!!!!!!!!!

No problem. Glad to have been of help.
