Undocumented value in syscolauth.colauth

Using OnLine 5.00, if you create a view which contains a virtual column, Online sets systabauth.tabauth = "S-*-D---" (assuming full privileges on the underlying object). It also creates syscolauth entries for each of the non-virtual columns in the view, but instead of a colauth value of "-U-" SELECT * FROM syscolauth; reports colauth values of "-UX". However, SELECT * FROM syscolauth WHERE colauth = "-UX"; returns zero rows! Further investigation shows that colauth actually contains "-U\\330", ie the third character is ASCII 216 (d8 hex). The dbaccess front-end appears to be expecting and intercepting this value and replacing it with an "X"!!! Does this mean that we have some kind of undocumented feature here, or is it just another "bug"? Any of you gurus out there have any ideas? graeme -- Disclaimer: The author's opinions are his own, and not necessarily those of Pyramid Technology Ltd. or Pyramid Technology Inc. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- -m------- Graeme Sargent Voice: +44 (0)252 373035 ---mmm----- Senior Database Consultant Fax : +44 (0)252 373135 -----mmmmm--- Pyramid Technology Ltd.
