VS2013 x64 p/invoke issue with C++ functions returning float or double values to C#

I originally posted this on the Windows Insiders forum, but I was directed to either TechNet or MSDN as this was deemed too technical.
I do understand that Windows 10 is still in preview mode, and VS2013 doesn't officially support it yet, but I just wanted to make a note of this, and ensure it gets fixed :)
The issue:
I ran across what appears to be a .Net bug in Windows 10. This issue does NOT appear when using either Windows 7 or Windows 8 Enterprise. This also does NOT appear when running an x86 build. This is an x64 specific issue, and occurs in
both release and debug configurations.
If you have a C++ function that looks like this:
double GetValueDouble()
return 555.555;
And on the C# side:
[DllImport(DLLNAME, CallingConvention = CallingConvention.Cdecl)]
public static extern double GetDoubleValue();
static class Program
static int Main(string[] args)
    double val = GetDoubleValue();
    Console.WriteLine("val = {0}", val);
I'd expect the output to be:
val = 555.555
But I actually get something like this:
val = -2.0608193755203536E+262
This has been reproduced on two different machines, both running Windows 10.
Is this a known bug? I searched the forums, but didn't find anything relevant.

I can repro, but only running under the VS2015 preview debugger. Running the console app directly gives the 555.555 value:

Issue with Submit and Return in passing string/values of longer length.

Hi,
I have a FM which has to submit a report as a job.
I am required to send a string( length could be close to 1024 characters or more than that) to the report as the parameter.
I am using Submit with Return.
1.When I pass my string as parameters, in the report it gets truncated at 60 chars.( though i have defined the parameter of type char1024)I lose the data.
2.When I split my string(aflter logical splitting the lenght is still equal to about 200 chars) and then pass as select options it gets truncated at 45 chars in the report ( though i have defined the parameter of type char1024)and i lose my data.
3.I cannot use Export/Import as I found that it does not work with jobs.
Please let me know how can i sumbit the report as a job while passing it a string of length 1024 characters.
Regards,
Sulakshana
Edited by: Sulakshana Shinde on May 21, 2009 2:44 PM

Option 3 should work, unless you are not using the EXPORT/IMPORT correctly. I believe that you are going across work processes, which means you may need to use the shared buffer or shared memory when using the export/import statements.
Something like this.
Data: lv_value type string.
lv_value = 'SomeValue'.
EXPORT lv_value = lv_value
TO SHARED BUFFER INDX(ST) ID 'SomeUnigueKey'.
See this.

Some issue with the Function Module u0093'SKWF_FIND_BY_QUERY' in a BW ECC6.0

Hi All,
Need some urgent help..
Iam facing some issue with the Function Module 'SKWF_FIND_BY_QUERY' in a BW ECC6.0 system.
As shown below, in the function module, the Table IT_PROPERTIES_RESULT gets populated with some values based on inputs like IT_CLASSES, IT_QUERY, and L.
This updation of IT_PROPERTIES_RESULT table is happening for some of the services sent through IT_QUERY and is not getting populated for some.
call function 'SKWF_FIND_BY_QUERY
exporting
CONNECTION_SPACE         =
    OBJ_TYPE                 = 'L'
PTYPE                    =

ERROR                    =
     tables
     CLASSES                  = IT_CLASSES

     RESULT_OBJECTS           = IT_LOIO
PROPERTIES_REQUEST       = PROPERTIES_RESULT        = IT_PROPERTIES_RESULT.
The values are as follows:-
Values getting populated in IT_CLASSES BW_LO_TRAN               Values getting populated in IT_QUERY 1) BW_QUERY, 2) /BIC/ZSERVICE
I would like to know whether any Standard Customizing BW transaction is present that is maintaining IT_PROPERTIES_RESULT table properties and fetching through this Function Module.
Also, suggest how this issue can be resolved
Thanks & Regards,

Issue with Duplicate FUNCTION

Hi Guys:
I am experiencing some issue with DUPLIATE FUNCTION. What happen is that I have create some BUTTONS on the stage that was used througth out difference scence.....those buttons has same action that point page to particular scence. And this is when I found the DUPLICATE FUNCTION issue.
I found that I could get away by changing the name of the FUNCTION, but as I have quite a lots of those buttons so I really don't think this method is very pratical and organized. So does anyone have any better idea how this can be solved?
Many Thanks!

Thanks so much, this did solve the problem. Studpid me that were trying to add same FUNCTION on each Scene that has the same button. Initially I thought it's more complex in AS3, but seems AS3 is actually trying to make thing easier and more praticler.
Not really good at previously AS, but decided to spend some time on learning AS3.0 now. Hope I could help people like me on the forum with question about AS3.0 soon. Just like the favor you did for me.
Many Thanks!!

As FI consultant, What are critical issues with other Functional Consultant

Hai, Masters
Can you express about Critical issues with other functional consultant with exmples
Regards
Ramesh K

Hi Ramesh K,
I think the critical issue should be the definaition cross application should be consistency( Ex in FI, CO, MM or SD).
And the Main issue is the result updated from FI to other applications or from other applications to FI is correct or not!
With Best Regards,

2. if we can use Out and In out parameter in Function so what is deffernce between procedure and Function.
3. Is there any Other Way Though which we can return more the One values in Function.
Please advice me...
Thanks

Yes/No.
You can return multiple value from function. But, in PL/SQL and not in a SQL.
The following examples demonstrate that -

Can oracle function return more than one value

Hi All
please answer can oracle function return more than one value
need one schenario
regards

Can any function, irrespective of the language, return multiple values?
OF COURSE NOT!!
So why do you think Oracle will now suddenly do it differently than all other languages? Never mind that it is impossible for a function (a unit/module of code) returning a memory address, to return multiple memory addresses. The machine code that does that, has not been yet been designed/implemented.
I am continually amazed that this question is asked. It is about something so fundamental in almost every single 3rd and 4th generation language... something that is taught right at the start... the definition of what a procedure and what a function is.
Sorry, but I simply cannot pull punches on this subject and smooth it over. There is something fundamentally wrong with your training as a programmer if you have to ask such a question about a function.
And whatever programming skills you build on such a foundation, will be seriously lacking.
I kindly suggest that you get back to the very basics of programming - and review and revisit until you fully understand it. There are no shortcuts in becomming a good programmer.

Issues with 'Rounding' function (Word 2007 issue? Works in Word 2003...)

My colleague (using Word 2003) and I (using Word 2007) are working on a change to a template where we include a formula that has the function called rounding.
She (2003) is able to preview the pdf but I (2007) am getting error message: : oracle.xdo.parser.v2.XPathException: Extension function error: Method not found 'round'
All other settings that we have appear to be the same (same config file, same java version, etc)
Does anyone know if there are some changes to Word 2007 that are causing this? And, any ideas on how to resolve?
Thanks for the help!
Background:
-The function is designed provide a total weight value: each individual weight value, multiply by a factor of .80, round up, and then added together to get a total amount.
-Because we also show the individual weight values on the output, (also multiplied by the factor of .80 and then rounded up), we need the factor and rounding to happen before the sum).
The entire set of functions for the total weight value is:
<?xdoxslt:set_variable($_XDOCTX,'sum',0)?>
<?for-each:LIST_G_CONTAINER_NAME1?><?for-each:G_CONTAINER_NAME1?>
<?xdoxslt:set_variable($_XDOCTX,'sum', xdoxslt:get_variable($_XDOCTX,'sum')+ xdoxslt:round((GROSS_WT*0.8),2))?><?end for-each?><?end for-each?>
<?format-number: xdoxslt:get_variable($_XDOCTX,'sum');'9G990D00'?>
space
<?WEIGHT_UOM_CODE?>
Error when attempting to preview the pdf after uploading an xml file:
: oracle.xdo.parser.v2.XPathException: Extension function error: Method not found 'round

Hi,
I took my original file (didn't have the round functionality) and Word 2007 and did the following:
1) Tested with xml to ensure that there are no other issues - was able to preview successfully
2) Added the function you suggested: <?xdoxslt:round(1000.98978,2)?> and saved the change
3) Tried to preview using the same xml and got the same error message about rounding
I can't test on 2003 because my colleague is not working right now (she is the one with that version installed). I will try on 2003 later today (but I am guessing it will work for her because the other rounding function works for her).
Thanks for any other ideas about this.

Slicer Time Dimension Issue with Cube Functions

Hi,
Hoping someone can help me figure out right approach here.
Summary:
Using Excel 2013 connected to a SSAS cube as data source, and cube functions with slicers to create a dashboard.
Have following time dimension slicers; Fiscal Year, Fiscal Quarter, Fiscal Month, Fiscal Week & Date, that are used to slice data based on user selection, along
with a sales measure.
Below is example of Slicer name and CubeMember function for each:
Slicer_Fiscal_Year:
=CUBEMEMBER("Cube","[Date].[Fiscal Year].&[2015]")
Slicer_Fiscal_Quarter:
=CUBEMEMBER("Cube","[Date].[Fiscal Quarter].[All]")
Slicer_Fiscal_Month:
=CUBEMEMBER("Cube","[Date].[Fiscal Month].&[201408]")
Slicer_Fiscal_Week:
=CUBEMEMBER("Cube","[Date].[Fiscal Week].&[201509]")
Slicer_Date:
=CUBEMEMBER("Cube","[Date].[Date].[All]")
Problem:
What I am trying to do is to build a table with cube functions that takes the lowest grain of the slicer time dimension selected, shows the current member, plus
the prior 7 so I can have an 8 period trending view table that I will build a chart from. In the above example that would mean that it would look at Slicer_Fiscal_Week since that is lowest grain that has an attribute other than All, and then show me the prior
7 periods. In this case 201509 means Week 9, so I would want to show in table Week 9 back to Week 2. But if Slicer_Fiscal_Week was set to All, along with Slicer_Date, then Fiscal Month would be lowest grain, so I would want to show Fiscal Months from August
(201408) back to January 2014. I know how to use CubeRankedMember to pull the value from what is selected in the slicer, the problem is figuring out how to pass the lowest grain time dimension so that I can use lag or some other MDX function to get the previous
periods.
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

Authorization issue with upload functionality

Hi,
I have issue with authorization with upload functionality.
we have country as authorization relavant field. if we are giving some country authorization to user it is giving authorization error at upload functionality.
But if we give all country authorization than it is working fine.
Could you guide me how to avoid this situation. We can not give all country authorization to all the users.
Thanks,
Naman Shah

Hi Naman,
For SAP BPS
Here while defining a variable you can set the user authorization and can determine which all records can be seen by the user.
For eg. Create a variable for country with replacement type User-specific values. Here you can assign values to a particular user id.
Please check for more details:

Whitespace in User Account Name causes issues with various functions

I've run into a few issues with users who have whitespace in their account names (for example, a user account name that was: "Joe Smith"). Generally, I think this is a result of windows interpreting the last name as a parameter when it tries to
run a certain function. One place where this occurs and is easily replicated is in the "Troubleshoot Program Compatibility Wizard" which gives an error about permissions, another place this occurs is in the dx9 web installer which gives an error
message concerning advpack.dll
In both of these cases I've been able to 'fix' the issue by relocating the TEMP and TMP environment variables to a folder like C:\TEMP, however I still have some issues with other installers and programs such as the 3rd party Cordova build program and the
android sdk which both get stumped by spaces in the user account name. From my understanding there is no way to change a user account name (not just the name which displays but the name which Windows reads) without deleting the account and copying often several
gigabytes of files and settings over to a completely new account. Is this correct? Is there a way to remove the whitespace from an account name without these hackish workarounds? Is there anyway to report this as a bug to Microsoft in the hopes that they either
remove support for usernames with whitespaces or come up with some way to make their internal features like the Compatibility Wizard operate correctly in these (fairly common) install environments? It's an incredibly pesky bug to identify....

1. Spaces are allowed but not recommended. I would avoid using space(s) in account names.
2. I do not understand what you have prevented from changing user name.
3. For problems with 3rd pty programs ask support/forum of respective software vendors.
4. If you feel like addressing Microsoft, use

My USB drives have "Disk Repair" issues, with "limited functionality."

The only way I can transfer files between my PowerMac G4 with OS X v10.5.2 and my PowerMac 5500/225 with OS 8.6 is with Iomega Zip drives. My 100 MB disks work perfectly in OS 8.6 but they seem to get corrupted when I open them on the G4. I've had this problem with other USB drives on the G4, including an external USB hard drive and my USB SD card reader. Things will seem to work fine transferring files but then I'll get the following message:
*+Disk Repair+*
+The disk "disk" was not repairable by this computer. It is being made available to you with limited functionality. You must back up your data and reformat the disk as soon as possible.+
Then I drag the files over with the Zip drive until everything blows up and I have to reformat the disk. I'm scared what might happen with the SD cards, if that will have any effect on the camera or if the disk will stop working entirely. The external hard drive was the first to blow up but we didn't know that this was going to be a trend so we had returned that to Best Buy. It had worked beautifully under OS X v.10.3.
Does anyone have any ideas on what is going on here and how to fix it? I do not have vast sums to upgrade hardware and software nor do I even really want to. I'm quite fond of the old Power Mac 5500 and OS 8.6.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!

Have you tried backing up again by manually running a Time Machine backup? Unfortunately, if your backup is corrupted I don't know of a way to fix it except to start over.

Function - Return More than One Value in a Concatenated String

Hi,
Is it possible for a function to return a concatenated string(combining more than one number). I am trying to return the PO number by inputting and invoice_id and code number but an invoice_id can have more than one PO with the same code number. I would like to concatenate the PO numbers with commas e.g.
10124, 10090, 10987
At the moment the function returns null for these cases that have more than one PO number.
Thanks

Also is is possible to create another function that can be called in the same script using the PO number as an IN parameter in SQL. See SQL below:
select cck.concatenated_segments as "Segment" ,

I am using func_get_po(i.invoice_id, cc.code_combination_id), I would like to call another function in this script that uses the PO number as an IN parameter.
For example func_get_po_requester(i.invoice_id, cc.code_combination_id, func_get_po(i.invoice_id, cc.code_combination_id))
Would this work?

Issue with Bookmark functionality (using java script) in WAD.

Hi,
I am working on a WAD report and instead of using the default bookmark functionality within WAD, i use a java code to get the bookmark url in a new window.
But the problem is the java code is not working consistently at all times.
Issue1: If i click on the bookmark button on the report for the first time, it will open up a new window with the bookmark link. But if i close that new bookmark url window and again click on the bookmark button, a new window is opened which displays the template corresponding to the bookmarkk generated earlier (the report in its executed form), instaed of the bookmark url.
Can anyone help me to correct this issue. At any time i click the bookmark button i want to get the bookmark url opened in the new window, instead of the template.
Issue2: The bookmark is not at all working at particular times. It will show error message at the bottom the page. What I am thinking is, this is because of the misalignment of the java code when you sava the WAD report. The java code is so sensitive that it gets realigned each time you save the WAD report. But sometimes even without making any changes also it is not working.
If anyone has any suggestion or inputs for solving these issues pleese help ASAP. The java code i used is given below.
function createBookmark()
var bwUrl="<SAP_BW_URL CMD='BOOKMARK'>";
child1=window.open(bwUrl,'win1','width=1,height=1,alwaysLowered=0');
window.focus();
//Ensure that BW completed generation of the bookmark url.
now = new Date();
startTime = now.getTime();
delayTime = 3000;
//Set timeout to 3 seconds
waitTime = startTime;
//check if the bookmark url is ready and timeout after the specified time (delayTime).
while (waitTime<(startTime+delayTime))
now = new Date();
waitTime = now.getTime();
//BW identifies a bookmark using BOOKMARK_ID. The presence of this string
