• Change the form databaseName property to the corresponding database,
• Change the Formfield widget from Field to another widget (Edit, for example).

The value is not supported in this version of Genero.

Change the property value or upgrade Genero.

The column using an aggregate is not an 'Edit' widget type.

• Change the widget type to 'Edit'.
• Remove the aggregate.

Error due to fgl not set well.

When using gsform, the compiler is not working correctly.

• Check whether FGLDIR is set.
• Check whether BDL is licensed and working.

Open the wcsettings file in Code Editor and add the missing property then reload the directory and the form file.

Children are out of container bounds.

• Increase the size of the parent
• Decrease the size of the children

Widgets share border or overlap with each other.

• Move them so they no longer intersect or are adjacent.
• Delete them.

• Reset to a supported property.
• Change version to corresponding valid version or later.

Cannot have two or more containers without a layout in a parent container, except for layout tags (containers in grids).

Layout the containers vertically or horizontally.

Nested grid / ScrollGrid (layout tag ScrollGrid) cannot contain these children: Table, Group, ScrollGrid, GridNested Group /Scrollgrid (layout tag Group) cannot contain containers other than: HRec, Table, Tree

Re-arrange your elements using layouts.

Parent container required.

A container is required between the form and the element:

Figure 1. Form without container

• Draw a grid or scrollgrid around the element.
• Move the element into a Grid, Group, scrollGrid.

Figure 2. Form with container

• Change the characters to a supported one.
• Change the encoding.

No element below layout tag before Genero 2.01.

Figure 3. Form with element inside grid below layout tag

You cannot have elements inside the grid below a layout tag (container inside grid.)

Move the elements to another grid and layout both grids vertically.

• Increase layout tag width.
• Shorten name attribute.

Non container widgets not beside table in grid before Genero 2.10.

Cannot have widget beside layout tag table, this feature has been implemented in version 2.10.

Figure 4. Form with widget beside layout tag table

• Change Genero configuration fgl to 2.10 or later
• Move the widgets into another grid and layout both grids horizontally

Figure 5. Form with widgets into another grid and layout both grids horizontally

This node is missing its required children. Item is missing in the TopMenu or TopMenuGroupor Toolbar or ActionDefaultList. Widget is missing in group, hrec etc

• Add an valid child.
• Remove the container.

ActionDefaultGroup is defined without any attribute applicable to current Genero version.

• Delete it.
• Set one of these attributes: title, image, accelerators ...
• The contextmenu attribute is available since version Genero 2.20, but not before that.
• The validate attribute is available since Genero 2.1x, not before that.
• The Accelerator4 is available since Genero 2.00, not before that.

There are two or more records of the table container that are exactly the same, i.e. they have the same order of recordFields.

• Reorder the recordField(s) in record that is duplicate.
• Delete the duplicate record.

Widget left edge cannot be shared with table right edge. For any Genero version, Genero form compiler needs a space to the right of the table.

Enter a space to the right of the table.

An old widget (canvas) that is no longer supported was present in the imported form and removed from the document.

Create another element for this widget, or ignore the error.

Old widget %1 was transformed to %2 during import.

An old widget that is no longer supported was present in the imported form. It's been transformed into the form element.

Check that the transformation was correct, or fix it (some attributes may be incorrectly set).

Expected ValueChecked to be different from valueUnChecked.

Checkbox valueChecked and valueUnchecked attributes cannot have the same value.

Change one of the attribute values.

The Genero configuration is not valid.

Check Genero license, directory, and Genero Desktop Client.

An unexpected internal error occurred during compilation.

Contact your local support Center.

A temporary per file cannot be deleted during the compilation process, probably because the user opened the file or changed the access rights.

Close the temporary file, or set the access rights to read write.

All available field identifiers are used during per file generation.

Enlarge some field's gridwidth.

Unable to create per file during form compilation.

The Value is not compatible with data type set. This error occurs when defaultValue and include property value are incompatible with dataType property.

Change defaultValue or include; enter a value compatible to data type format.

Rearrange record fields.

Set a valid value, i.e. a name of one of the tree's children, for these properties.

An include string is set while dataType is not supported (for example, interval).

Some data types have a limitation of size (for example, integer).

Change data type (for example, from integer to bigint), or modify value so that it is valid.

Matrices corresponding to the Screen Record need to have the same repeat count (number of rows * number of columns).

• Change the row count or the column count.
• If the current screen record is an array and any of the screenRecordItems correspond to a FormField, convert it to a matrix.
• If the current screen record is not an array, and any of the screenRecordItems correspond to a Matrix, convert it to a FormField.

The formfields corresponding to the record field in the same record must belong to the same container.

• Move the record field to the correct record.
• Move the formfield to the right container.
• Remove the record field or formfield.

The first Tree widget column is not an Edit or a Label.

• Insert an Edit or Label as the first column.
• Change the first column to an Edit or Label.
• Re-order the columns to have an Edit or Label as the first column.

An invalid name that was present in the imported form was transformed to a valid and unique name. A valid name is not blank, and is made up of these characters: A-Z, 0-9, "_". You may edit the transformed name.

• Force overwrite (-i option).

The layout tagged container is too small to hold identifier. Any user defined properties will be ignored. This is a warning message.

Increase width of container.

The text property value cannot contain newline characters, '\n' or '\r'.

Delete or replace these characters.

The file chosen for import has an incorrect extension.

Select a file with a per extension to import.

Check the build rule; if correct, contact your FourJ's Support center.

Change position of widget.

The property stepX must have a value greater than 1.

• Edit stepX property.
• Uncheck repeat property.

Change table position.

Invalid file, closing tag does not correspond to the opening one.

The file is invalid; it contains mismatching tags and XML parsing is not possible.

Invalid file, orphan closing tag.

Minimum of one unit empty space is required on all sides of layout tag containers.

Re-size layout tag container or its children.

Set a valid value from available WebComponents.

The WebComponent is invalid as it does not satisfy XSD file rules.

Open wcsettings file in code editor and rectify in accordance with XSD validation.

The WebComponent XSD file that is used for validating WebComponent XML files is invalid.

• Take a clean copy from of file.
• Undo all changes done manually.

The text property value will be ignored as it is blank. This is a warning message.

Solution: Since property value is blank, it plays no role, and is ignored.

The value of property 'expandedColumn' or 'isNodeColumn' is same as either 'idColumn' or 'parentIdColumn' of tree widget.

Change the property value of either of the properties so that expandedColumn and isNodeColumn do not have the same value as either idColumn or parentIdColumn.
