Failures present in RSW6.5 that are corrected in RSW6508 CALCULATIONS The strsearch() function fails to locate Chr(13)'s found in a database character field. Calculations based on date fields where date value is blank return error in version 6.5. Calculated fields with date wildcards do not work correctly. Using functions to convert character to time (CTDT, CTOT) & to return value does not properly return AM/PM. Clicking F1 on a user defined function in functions list gives error "Help topic does not exist." After purging unused calculations/totals you are not prompted to save changes when you exit/open another report. Placing calculated field with the expression ISNULL("XXX") on layout causes GPF at Print Preview. DATA DICTIONARY Certain data dictionaries may result in an Invalid Page Fault in RRW.EXE @0137:0041cdbf Use RRDICT to define 2 constant calc (no table name). Save then open Dictionary. Predefined calc columns have been shuffled "one to the left" If there are two such calcs symptoms are worse- first calc is replicated into two and second is tacked onto end. DATE QUERIES A query on a date field utilizing a wildcard expression does not return the correct data set. The report runs as if this criteria does not exist as part of the query. DROP DOWN PICK LISTS In Win95 select a field as Line Print Logical controller. Access line properties again and field +1 is now selected. Works OK under Win 3.1, 3.11. FILE EXPORT RTF will use reversed page dimensions if you set up a printer driver as landscape and in page layout select first landscape then portrait even if you do not save the report w/ landscape page orientation. RTF does not export backlash character when found in text or data fields. Some of R&R Header does not print when RTF'd into Word 2.0. Prints OK when changed Word Header spacing. Snaking columns causes am RTF to be produced that is unreadable by Word. A GPF in keyboard.drv can occurs when exporting report to text data file. Export to Text Data File using Line Logical property gives incorrect result. May get blank line for each excluded record or may exclude all records. Fixed width export seems to be accepting only 8 characters of a date. Fixed width export drops the last digit of a total on a summary band. INSERT FIELD If you open the Insert Field Dialog and leave it open while you make multiple inserts, R&R will eventually hang. The number of inserts you can do before the hang seems to depend on the complexity of the report. PRINTING Print Preview of report with printing of current pages loses the shading on second and subsequent current page prints. Report prints 14 columns across using only GH and GF. Regardless of how many records print, the last column is always forced to a separate page. RRCNVRT The FIF list in RRCNVRT does not include an HPIV listing. When converting from SQL to Xbase RRCNVRT does not correctly handle DBF names that were quote delimited in the SQL edition. If you convert a report from RP5->RP6 and the saved report used compound indexes (CDX/MDX) for relations, RRCNVRT seems to ignore those relations. When report is opened in RSW gets error that fields from the related tables are no longer in the master table. RRWICON Get 'Invalid Property Value' if R?W.INI has no ProgDir setting. RUNTIME DLL The VBX and the DLL do not support multi-character destination fields. They also do not have an equivalent for Excel Chart or Pivot table. SERIAL NUMBER FILE It appears that under unknown circumstances, using a network dat file, R?W sometimes overwrites byte 0 with a 0 instead of unlocking the serial number thus corrupting the file. SIZING HANDLES Dragging the top right sizing handle upon a graphic that's retaining shape causes the graphic to move upward, while the handle does not do this. TOTALS Clicking on "Every Composite" in reports with 8 group fields causes the top of the list to disappear. USER SQL Editing the SQL SELECT statement in a User SQL report causes date/time fields whose format is not default to revert to default when previewed or printed. VBX Setting valid report directory at runtime appears to be ignored. Using an Access data source, if no MDB reference is saved in the data source, the VBX will produce no report and no error when a report name is specified. Works however if you prompt user for report selection. The VBX and the DLL do not support multi-character destination fields. They also do not have an equivalent for Excel Chart or Pivot table.
