Ads link errors using REQUEST _ADS xHarbour 99.51 FTDN Nov05

[Rick Lipkin]

To All

For anyone using the latest xHarbour from the Nov FTDN FWH27 build and linking in ADS .. you will need to change your code to use the ANNOUNCE command on the ADS line and not REQUEST .. if you do not, you will get this error ... Error: Unresolved external '_HB_FUN__ADS'

IF xRDD = "ADS"

ANNOUNCE _ADS
* REQUEST _ADS // does not work with latest xharbour cvs
rddRegister ( "ADS", 1 )
rddsetdefault( "ADS" )
SET SERVER REMOTE
SET FILETYPE to CDX

cADS := " Remote 32 bit -b"

ELSE

cADS := " Local 32 bit -b"

REQUEST DBFCDX
REQUEST DBFFPT
rddsetdefault( "DBFCDX" )

ENDIF

SET DEFA to ( cDEFA )
cRDD := dbSETDRIVER()+cADS

No change to the command, it's just that _ADS was renamed ADS, so just
change:

REQUEST _ADS

to:

REQUEST ADS

> Knowing that I had seen this .. I changed the REQUEST _ADS line to

Please restore as per above.

Nop.
