batch file - Install fails for dBASE III Administrator, "goto was unexpected" -

-

i novice programmer/it guy @ family owned real estate finance business. long story short, created dbase iii based application system track customer accounts 25-30 years ago. cost change modern system astronomical , since can code reasonable efficiency keep it. right, using single user version on separate workstations. want install dbase administrator , change things on networked environment. figured going little out of depth able work through it. running on windows xp system, no internet connection, land together.

i got install disk image vetusware. mounted image via virtual floppy. in command prompt navigate disk , follow instructions manual:

  1. insert system disk #1 in drive a.
  2. change default drive typing a:[return]

so far good...i have prompt.

then type: a> install c: dba

i type "install c: dba", launched "install.bat" found on disk, reports "goto unexpected @ time." , returns me prompt.

i post batch file text below. upon execution displays top bit of "echoed" text finishing "...previous version of dbase." next line "goto unexpected..."

it seems wrong install batch file , nothing doing... know that batch file error , not error within program. odd, program mentions dba.com , found on of disks... or guidance can provide appreciated.

thanks lot,

chris

your problem install script written ms-dos command interpreter (command.com) , isn't compatible windows xp command interpreter (cmd.exe). specific problem xp interpreter gives special meaning double quote characters (") while ms-dos interpreter doesn't. causes following line interpreted differently, error, under xp:

if "%1==" goto helpinst

i don't recommend trying "fix" script windows xp compatible. aside fact there number of lines have fix, there's simpler solution. use ms-dos command interpreter. can entering command @ command prompt. follow instructions normal. example:

command  a: install c: dba

i have postgresql db number of tables. if query: select column_name information_schema.columns table_name="my_table"; i list of columns returned properly. however, when query: select * "my_table"; i error: (programmingerror) relation "my_table" not exist 'select *\n "my_table"\n' {} any thoughts on why can columns, can't query table? goal able query table. you have include schema if isnt public one select * <schema>."my_table" or can change default schema show search_path; set search_path my_schema; check table schema here select * information_schema.columns for example if table on default schema public both works ok select * parroquias_region select * public.parroquias_region but sectors need specify schema select * map_update.sectores_point

asp.net mvc - breakpoint on javascript in CSHTML? -

-
i have .cshtml file has javascript tag. within script tag have few lines of javascript. first line of javascript refers property in @viewbag. other javascript lines plain script without mvc related references. observation: can place breakpoints (visual studio 2015) on each of these javascript lines. however, breakpoints has white dot in center of breakpoint symbol (red circle) except line @viewbag reference (this particular line not have white dot in center). it seems breakpoint without white dot hit during run-time. question: can explain going on here? white dot mean? why plain red breakpoint line line hitting breakpoint? the visual studio debugger expecting debug actual server-side code within .cshtml file opposed client-side javascript within it. iirc, visual studio allow debug javascript code expected in internet explorer (and possibly edge), other browsers want use either third-party tool or developer tools (f12) within browser. an easy approach take advant...
