Error: 1017 - Compiling a component without entities is not allowed

I got the following compiler error in uniface 9.7:

error: 1017 - Compiling a component without entities is not allowed.

Which entity should i use? Does it matter?

Solution

  • When you want to implement functionality in Uniface that does not need to interact with any entities, you have two options:

    1. Implement your code in a Global Proc instead of in a Component.
    2. Implement your code in a Component and paint a "dummy" entity on it. A dummy entity is an entity that does not exist in the Model (and therefore also not in the database)
