Re: Anybody knows this bug ?

}Would Mr Leffler care to state what version of RDS 4 it will be fixed in? Not really, because I already stated which versions it will be fixed in: versions 4.16 and 6.04. This bug first surfaced in version 4.14.UC1, if the PTS database is to believed, but not in time (or with enough priority) to be fixed in version 4.15.UC1. It will be fixed in 4.16.UC1 -- the fix is already coded. The corresponding family 6 versions are 6.02.UC1, 6.03.UC1 and 6.04.UC1. If you need a fix to it more urgently than that, you will have to negotiate with your technical support contacts. And you'll need to make the business case. Note that it only affects I4GL-RDS and I4GL-ID (p-code). You can still use the I4GL (c-code) system without problem.
