Is anyone aware of a patch for a known Informix bug in 4GL reporting. An
existing 4GL reporting module works using V4.11 of the tools, but does
not work in V6.04 of tools.
Detail :-
FIRST PAGE HEADER
PRINT details
PAGE HEADER
PRINT details
ON EVERY ROW
PRINT details
Problem :-
It prints the first page header first then the rows and then the page
header.
We will only use a 4GL work around as a last resort. Also, there is only
one single mention of a reports page header bug in the release notes and
it does not apply to this particular case.
We are aware of a fix in 7.x of the tools. This is not a solution as we
have compiled and tested hundreds of 4GL modules in V6.04 and as a result
we do not want to start regression testing.
We fail to belive that a BUG like this has been around for so long.
i.e. V4.11 up to 7.x
Perhaps we should rewrite our system in assembler!
