Tally ERP 9 Release 1.52

Few weeks back, I had written about a problem in Tally ERP 9 Release 1.51 relating to pushing and pulling data programmatically.

This was later on confirmed to be a BUG in Tally ERP 9 Release 1.51 by Tally Solutions, Bangalore. The same has now been rectified in Tally ERP 9 Release 1.52

$$FullList function

$$FullList Function

The $$FullList function returns incorrect results in Tally 7.2 in certain cases, but works fine with Tally ERP 9 Release 1.5.

Scenario

Step 1)
Enter a Sales voucher with following items :-

Name    Qty     Rate   Amt
Item A    5      100   500
Item B    5
Item C    5      150   750

Step 2)
Use the following SELECT-SQL to retrieve data from Tally :-

Select $$FullList:InventoryEntries:$BilledQty,$$FullList:InventoryEntries:$Rate From CompanyVouchers

Result:-

Case a) Tally 7.2

Qty           Rate
5 ,5, 5       100

Case b) Tally ERP 9 Release 1.5

Qty           Rate
5 ,5, 5       100, , 150

Attempting managed execution inside OS Loader lock

I am trying to link my VB.NET / C# application with Tally using RTSlink DLL. But I get this error while calling Open() function :-

"Attempting managed execution inside OS Loader lock. Do not attempt to run managed code inside a DllMain or image initialization function since doing so can cause the application to hang. "

Tally 9 - Support for UNICODE characters

Support for UNICODE characters is available in Tally 9. This post deals with some issues relating to UNICODE.

1) When we programmatically import / export data from Tally 9, the default character-set used by Tally Software is ASCII.

2) However, in case if NO Company is opened in Tally 9 and we programmatically send a SQL-Request to Tally (like to check if any company is open or not), the RESPONSE received from Tally is always in UNICODE. This may cause error as generally the Tally Integration programs written now-a-days do not provide support for handling UNICODE characters. This prima-facia appears to be a BUG in Tally 9, but has not been confirmed by Tally Solutions, Bangalore as of now.

BUG
Tally 9 returns data in UNICODE even though the character-set is set as ASCII (i.e. UNICODE="No"). This occurs when we send a SQL-Request to Tally when NO company is open in Tally 9. It does not occur in any other situations tested by us till now.
