5.6.07 Release Notes

 

(All) #964

 

ddir/dprodir would display "datax3" rather than "data"

 

(All) #967

 

In the memo editor, using the up and down arrows, if the cursor

is in a column on the source line beyond the last column of the

destination row, the cursor may be placed in the wrong location.

 

(*nix only) #968

 

When running without the license manager under Unix/Linux, *report

and *cabe would not release the session upon exit.

 

(All) #969

 

TAB characters in help files were not properly handled.

 

(Sun) #1011

 

Files > 2gb cannot be accessed on SUN OS

 

(All) #975

 

Added the following flags to swapcpu:

 

-Q - Quiet mode. Supresses "file already in destination order"

messages.

 

-CN - Convert to native byte order.

 

-CF - Convert to foreign byte order.

 

(All) #976 swapcpu index already swapped crash segv

 

Running swapcpu on a file with an index already in destation byte

order could crash swapcpu.

 

(All) #992

 

The following scenario corrupts the index, possibly giving a DKNF

error in the future:

 

A new key is being inserted into the index. (Or, an existing key

is being modified, and the new key value is being inserted.) The

leaf node into which the ken would be inserted is full, as are

both of its sibling nodes. (Meaning a new leaf node gets created

by splitting the current node.) The parent node needs to be

updated to insert the new leaf node. The problem comes when the

parent node, and the parent's right-side sibling are full. (And

possibly the left-side sibling as well, in which case we need to

continue up to the grandparent node, where the same situation

occurs.)

 

(All) #1042

 

Blobfix doesn't fix the internal record number reference within

the blob header. This does no affect anything at runtime, but

does make examining the structure for debugging purposes more

difficult.

 

 

(All) #1047

 

If you have more than ome memo fieidl in a record, update one of

them, and then execute a "memo ... delete" on the other one, and

the other memo field never had any data in it, the blob file can

be corrupted.

 

(All) #1059

 

In *report, if you CALL a process from within @WBRK or @WGT, and

that processing table DECLAREs new variables, referencing those

variables can cause *report to crash/freeze.

 

(All) #1064

 

OPENDIR()'s return value was truncated to the last 3 digits, so

if more than 999 files are returned, the return value was wrong.

Note, however, that all files were returned.

 

(All) #966

 

If you have a lookup file with memo fields, and to a COPY to that

lookup, the memo fields won't be copied correctly.

 

(All) #970

 

If you have an array aliased to fields which includes a memo

field, executing "CLEAR arrayname" will crash filePro later.

 

(All) #1003

 

If you defined memo dummy fields or variables in a file which has

to "real" memo or blob fields, filePro would crash upon access to

those fields.

 

(All) #1012

 

If you have a filePro map with empty field names in the middle,

any reference-by-name of the first field after the blank field

name(s) will not work correctly.

 

(All) #1017

 

If you concatenate fields such that the combined length is greater

than 32,767 you would get an out-of-memory error.

 

(All) #1027

 

In *report, if the first assignment to a dummy field that is not

declared in automatic is in a CALLed table, then *report may crash

at a reference to a dummy field dome within @DONE processing.

 

(All) #1028

 

Under certain circumstances, using "@" in an edit cn crash filePro.

 

(All) #886

 

Attempting to use sockets without a socket license could crash

filePro rather than give an error.

 

(All) #963

 

In the meo editor, if the cursor is on the last line of a word-

wrapped line of text, and is on the first line within the memo

editor window, and the rest of the window is fil;led with

additional text, then placing the cursor at the end of the test

on that line and backspacing such that the now-shorter text

would re-wordwrap to take less lines, taking the cursor to the

text which has been re-wordwrapped to the previous line (ie: the

one above the top of the window), can cause filePro to crash.

 

(All) #1002

 

If the width of a listbox was at least 78, and dropshadows are

turned off, the contents of the listbox are shifted right 2 by

columns.

 

(All) #1048

 

DECLARE EXTERN in sort/select processing for a vairable which is

DECLAREd GLOBAL within automatic processing could cause a

"variable already declared" error after sort/select processing

was finished.
