Using BOX() and AT()

I have written the following script :

code:

COLOR G+/N
	BOX(25,0,29,40,"+-+|+-+|")
	AT (26,1) "Lancement des applications : "
	AT (27,1) "Bloomberg, FactSet, FirstCall Reuters"
	AT (28,1) "DataStreal Advance, FinXS, FinWin"
COLOR W/N
@CRLF

When I ran this script as a stand-alone to test if the placement of the box was correct it showed up correctly on the screen, as seen below :

code:

+---------------------------------------+
|Lancement des applications :           |
|Bloomberg, FactSet, FirstCall Reuters  |
|DataStreal Advance, FinXS, FinWin      |
+---------------------------------------+

However when I integrated the code into my script I get something like the following on my screen :

code:

+---------------------------------------++--------------------------------------
-+Lancement des applications : Bloomberg, FactSet, FirstCall ReutersDataStreal A
dvance, FinXS, FinWin

Does anybody have any ideas why it is doing this? I have other boxes that don't seem to have this problem.

Thanks in advance,
Z.

It should be there for the rest of my script to skip a line before displaying the next bit of info. However, I did take out the "@CRLF" and tried to replace it with a "?" instead, but I get the same results

I will just add a portion of the remainder of the scirpt. For a variety of reasons I can't add more.

Here is what the script looks like :

code:

BREAK ON
$nul=SETTITLE ("Script de lancement des Applications Flux")
;
;************************************************* Les applications a lançait ************************************************
;
COLOR G+/N
	BOX(25,0,29,40,"+-+|+-+|")
	AT (26,1) "Lancement des applications : "
	AT (27,1) "Bloomberg, FactSet, FirstCall Reuters"
	AT (28,1) "DataStreal Advance, FinXS, FinWin"
COLOR W/N
@CRLF
;
;************************************************* Lancment de Reuters XDE4 ************************************************
;
? "Lancement de Reuters Kobrea XDE4"				;Lancement de Reuters XDE4
;	RUN'%ComSpec% /c "C:\DIRECTORY STRUCTURE\kobra.exe"'
;
;************************************************* Lancment de Bloomberg + Excel ************************************************
;
? "Lancement de Bloomberg"						;Lancement de Open Bloomberg
;	RUN '%ComSpec% /c "C:\DIRECTORY STRUCTURE\wintrv.exe"'

I don't know if that will help any because the rest of the script runs just fine.

Jochen Jochen KiX Supporter Registered: 2000-03-17 Posts: 6380 Loc: Stuttgart, Germany	Oh well , How do you start this script ? Standard is a Height of 25 Lines and you start the thing in line 25 ... So at least to be on safe side you should state somewhere before you start the script in your batch : quote: mode con cols=80 lines=30 hth _________________________

I know there is probably a little somethin' somethin' that I'm missing in the script, but I've wasted enough time trying to make my box with the BOX() command. Even though I have 4 other boxes that work fine, if I have to do one of them by hand, hey no biggie. Thanks to all for their suggestions. If I have more time in the future I'll try and figure out where the problem is. Zd.....

I actually hope they would be disabled already in wkix32.exe just waste of exe-size [ 13. May 2003, 14:47: Message edited by: Lonkero ] _________________________ ! download KiXnet

Jochen Jochen KiX Supporter Registered: 2000-03-17 Posts: 6380 Loc: Stuttgart, Germany	Z, think you got me wrong, ok, rephrasing .... What is the console set to regarding Width/Height/Screenbuffersize on the machine this behavior is shown and what version of KiX are you run this with ? It was NT 4 ? Well, here the Box is shown correctly so I guess it is your Console Setting that puzzles it _________________________

The standard setting for the "DOS Windows" is the same for height/width and screen buffer size is : 130 x 300. I'm using the version of Kix 4.20. I don't know what's going on. As I said previously I did one box by hand (not the most fun I've had in a while, mind you) and alls seems to be working fine (for now that is). Thx, Z.

Maybe if you remark Company Confidential Data ? hehe ... I remember the first script I posted here, left in the SMS service account password and at that time the Edit function wasn't available [ 15.
