(All) #577

HTML :IN :ML generated "MAXLEN=n" rather than "MAXLENGTH=n" attribute.

 

(5.0) #582

The TVM_*() functions did not handle comma-type edits for input.

(ie: "12,345.67" was treated as "12".)

 

(4.9) #581

Add PFMEMOINSERTMODE=ON to set insert mode on by default in the

memo editor.

 

(All) #585

    PFCHECKLOCK does not report errors on "-p" lookups if you
    modify fields after a WRITE.

 

(All) #???

Enhancement to PFTMP for specifying temp directory:

 If PFTMP is not set, then use TMP. If both are unset, use TEMP.

 

(All) #???

Tweak to the above: some versions of Windows allow for a list of

directories in the TMP/TEMP variables, separated by semicolons.

In such instances, filePro will use the first directory listed.

(And, change the Unix version to do the same, should there be a

version of Unix that allows a colon-separated list of directories.)

 

(All) #615

runmenu was using PFTEMP rather than PFTMP to store menu batch files.

(Quickstart) #616

SHOW statements were truncated to 255 characters.

 

(All) #617

Fuzzy browse lookups with processing caused non-global dummy fields

to be cleared. ("Normal" browse lookups were okay.)

 

(All) #619

Fix case where "node_addr(x!=y)" error would be generated.

 

(All) #621

If you have an unprotected lookup to the current file, and find

the current record, do a GETNEXT, modify that record, and CLOSE

the lookup, the modified record will remain locked.

 

(All) #628

If you have a lookup dash in @ENTSEL processing on a file with no

automatic processing, it is possible to get DKNF errors displayed.

(Note that the indexes aren't actually corrupted in this case.)

 

(All *nix) #???

Pressing "N" or "I" in the monochrome attribute editor of dscreen

caused the display to fill with text.

 

(fileProGI) #???

Shrinking a memo in the GI memo editor caused the tail end of

the original memo to remain.

 

(Some *nix) #???

Running menu items with the "no return" flag ("#") could cause

the stty settings to get confused.

 

(All) #275

Using F8/Options to set the processing password in *cabe would

cause subsequent tables loaded in the same session to have the

same password assigned.

 

(All) #588

A "lookup - r=nn" which fails due to an EOF condition would cause

the current record to be unlocked.

 

(All) #601

Using block functions to copy processing lines from beyond the

last one could cause garbage to be copied.

 

(All) #602

fPTransfer now copies "map.new" files as a map.

 

(All) #604

Pressing F6 in ddir does not bring up the config editor if the

highlighted name is not a valid filePro file.

 

(All) #610

PFLOOKWIZPROT=ON was not recognized properly.

 

(All) #612

ddir did not empty the blob file on kill data / retain formats.

 

(All) #613

Lookup aliases in the format "letter-number-others" (ie: "d4a")

would fail syntax on assignments.

 

(All) #614

You can now do COntains comparisons on memo fields.

 

(fPSQL) #618

fPSQL did not recognize 4-digit-year date fields, nor PFSYSYR4=ON

 

(UnixWare only) #640

Some configurations of UnixWare do not allow a setuid program

when running as real-uid root to execute child processes.

 

(UnixWare only) #641

An incompatibility in UnixWare running OpenServer binaries caused

SLEEP to be ignored.

 

(All) #635

dxmaint -M "" did not override PFQUAL environment setting.

 

(Linux only) #642

Fuzzy searches on Linux did not return results consistent with

other filePro systems.

 

(All) #637

Extended selection sets didn't work if comparing to a value with

a colon in it.

 

(All) #591

RAND("-1") didn't properly seed the random number generator on

some systems.
