Problems with inf 4.10
Posted in 1992
>I was in the process of upgrading a large application to 4GL 4.1 when >I discovered that most of the display screens were getting fouled up. >In 4.1, when returning from a lookup screen where a selection was made >and the information was used to populate fields, the ring menu line would >be displayed beginning at the upper left hand corner of where the lookup >screen was. This occurred in nearly every instance where a lookup screen >was used. If a small window was used for displaying warning messages >(near the bottom of the screen) it would cause the ring menu to become >skewed. >I have reported this to Informix and it has been logged as a bug. >In the meantime, I had to abort plans to upgrade and have remained on 4.0. >There are, no doubt, ways of working around the problem, but the number >of screens affected was so large, I decided to wait. >jmn@pdx.csd.mot.com We have bought StarserverE about 3 months ago. We got informix 4.10 yesterday. I installed it on the new machine, and moved a 4gl prog from our current machine (informix ver 4.00). I compiled all the modules and upon running the screen is totally messed up. The "help line" of the menu option prints on line 1 where the menu options should be. When I did query and entered some data the screen got garbaled again. Upon pressing escape, first I got a coredump, and now if I do the same, it aborts with the error message "No Form has been displayed". I've recompiled all the modules several times. We're running Sys V Rel 4.0 Ver 3.0 on the new machine. Any one out there have any idea/remedy for this problem? Mukesh (mukesh@elsouth.wsnc.org) (919-668-4848)
