DecimalSeparator returns empty value in web function

Operating system: Windows
I am importing invoices and could not figure out why 200.10 becomes 210.00.
DecimalSeparator returns empty value.
Everything is OK if importing is done with periodic task which loads csv file.

Maybe someone has an idea why DecimalSeparator() returns empty value even though the decimal separator is set in the "Company date and numeric format"?

What is more interesting, that output to the log file knows about decimal separator and it is a different separator (dot), than that set in the "Company date and numeric format" (comma). for example:


2023-02-27 08:52:04 AD WARNING: DecimalSeparator returns blank, failing over to company decimal separator ,
2023-02-27 08:52:04 AD LineNr 2 tstr=110.25 SubTotal=110.25 VAT=756.36 Total=866.61

Hi

the programmers said that It sounds like a bug and you should report it and create backup so that we can repeat

please detail every step. are you doing any company switching in import routine is also question. Probably not but this seems like it fails to load numeric format from the company it is importing in


please tell me if you report it thanks

Unfortunately, I could not replicate it with test procedures, but it has something to do with qupdating calls. If I make web procedure updating and all calls are non qupdating, then DecimalSepator is nonblank.
If nonupdating WebStoreTabInvoice() calls qupdating.ImportSalesInvoicesFromArea(), then ImportSalesInvoicesFromArea does not know about the decimal separator:

2023-03-08 11:59:19 AD executing WebStoreTabInvoice CurrentCompany=1 DecimalSeparator=,
2023-03-08 11:59:19 AD ImportSalesInvoicesFromArea DecimalSeparator=

Hi. Try to use SetCompany(x, false); where x is the target company number, even if there is only one company on the server, before you call DecimalSepator().

I am using SetCompany(x, false)

Are you calling it inside ImportSalesInvoicesFromArea or before that qupdating function is called?

It is like this. Just checked again. As you can see ImportSalesInvoicesFromArea() forgets DecimalSeparator.

2023-07-04 17:15:48 AD executing WebStoreTabInvoice CurrentCompany=1 DecimalSeparator=,
2023-07-04 17:15:48 AD ImportSalesInvoicesFromArea DecimalSeparator=

global
updating procedure ImportSalesInvoicesFromArea(...)
begin
Logtext(0,"ImportSalesInvoicesFromArea DecimalSeparator=" & DecimalSeparator);
...
end;

global
procedure WebStoreTabInvoice()
begin
LogText(0,"executing WebStoreTabInvoice CurrentCompany=" & CurrentCompany & " DecimalSeparator=" & DecimalSeparator);
qupdating.ImportSalesInvoicesFromArea(..) //removing qupdating helps to remember DecimalSeparator
queued.StoreResultsEMail(Mailr);
end;

global
procedure WebExtraAPI()
begin

...
oldcomp = CurrentCompany;
//if (newcomp!=oldcomp) then begin <- commenting this out didn't help
if (SetCompany(newcomp,false)) then begin
WebStoreTabInvoice();

end;
end;

We can put this on hold, because there is a workaround.
