RE: Have i found a Bug. Locator ??

---------- From: Manzanares[SMTP:fm@ils-cargo.com] Sent: Friday, February 13, 1998 12:20 AM In Informix 7.12. I have a report with a locator variable. The report print false when this variable is defined with LOCATE IN MEMORY. With Informix 5.0 the report print correctly. The report print correctly with the version 7.12 only with a LOCATE IN FILE. BUG ??? JL: Maybe, but you've got some convincing to do first. Which product(s) are you actually using? I suspect that you're using I4GL 6.0x with a 7.12 OnLine, but you could conceivably be using NewEra. What were you using with the 5.0x OnLine? What sort of report are you printing? Is it a 1-pass or a 2-pass report? Do you have an ORDER BY clause (as opposed to ORDER EXTERNAL BY clause) in it? Despite the questions above, the change in behaviour suggests a priori a bug. But to report it to Informix, you will have to deal with all the questions above. And, if at all possible, you should produce a very simple program which replicates the problem. I'd guess it might be 15 lines in MAIN and perhaps 30 lines in the report, plus an SQL script to create a table and an unload file to populate it and an explanation of what the problem is in a README file...
