Status: Verified
SYMPTOM(s):
Accessing specific properties of a COM-OBJECT results in error 5890
Error occurred while accessing component property/method: <property or method name>.
<COM message>
Error code: <Program name> (5890)
Error occurred while accessing component property/method: <property or method name>.
The parameter is incorrect
Error code: 0x80070057 <Program name> (5890)
Other properties work as expected
ActiveX works as expected when called from Windows Scripting Host script
The COM property is defined as VT_ARRAY | VT_UI1
FACT(s) (Environment):
Progress 9.1x
OpenEdge 10.0B
OpenEdge 10.1A
All Supported Operating Systems
CAUSE:
Enhancement Request# OE00122943
CAUSE:
The COM property contains raw data which exceeds 32K.
Within the Progress client the VT_ARRAY | VT_UI1 COM datatype is mapped to the 4GL RAW datatype, which can not hold more than 32K of data. Therefore the data cannot be retrieved.
FIX:
Enhancement Request# OE00122943 has been implemented
Upgrade to OpenEdge 10.1B or later
If Progress is getting a property value or a method return value that is a byte array (array of unsigned bytes), it can now be assigned it into a MEMPTR variable.
