r0gerc, I liked his Dilbert comment too. I also love his 10 kinds of people. I have to admit, I am not an instant binary person, but I did finally get it on my own.
I don't think that it is a delayed disk writing. It is a hardware issue that noone here at work seems to understand. We did...
How true. The stories that I could tell.
Again, thanks for all of your help. I will know where to turn next time. Most Clipper problems I can handle. This is hardware. I'm not much on hardware. It came down to the fact that we didn't want to have to test every new PC that we put out on...
I don't have the choice to change to a new compiler or a new language right now. We are converting all of the old clipper apps to VB.NET sometime in my lifetime, but I have to get the new Dell 960s up and running now.
I appreciate everyone's help, but I have to change the INEKY and SECONDS...
What they did that caused this problem was upgrade the CPU from a Dell 755 to a 960. They used the same hard drive. Just moved it from one machine to the other.
We know that it is not the INKEY that is causing the problem. But in using the INKEY, the program is slower.
The free...
The two machines run the same virus software and are Windows XP SP3. Nothing else is running.
I tried the SECONDS() function like suggested and it had the same result as the INKEY on the 960. It took 35 seconds to run.
We have now found other Dell 960s that run the test program with success...
SAY_MSG("BEF WAIT 1 SECOND")
INKEY(1)
SAY_MSG("AFT WAIT 1 SECOND")
INKEY(5)
SAY_MSG("AFT WAIT 5 SECONDS")
INKEY(10)
SAY_MSG("AFT WAIT 10 SECODNS")
The SAY_MSG function writes a line to a text file. The text file contains:
BEF WAIT 1 SECOND 3:13:40
AFT WAIT 1 SECOND 3:13:41
AFT WAIT 5...
When changing from Dell 755 to 960, the INKEY function doesn't work properly.
For example: I wrote a little program that writes the date and time to a file after waiting first one second, then five seconds and then ten seconds. This should take sixteen seconds to run. On the Dell 755, it...
