Windows server 2003 sp2
RELEASE Information : Major 4.1 , Minor 6.13 , Patch 6169
(Change 89144)

I have the following DICT term in that works in 3.4.1 but does not in 4.1:

01 A
02 0
03 ORIG AMT
04
05
06
07 MR2,
08 F;2;8;S;+
09 R
10 10

In 3.x it gives me the sum of all the vm amounts in attr 8 added to attr 2.

In 4.x it gives me the separate values in attr 8 without summing.

Any ideas?

I don't have 4.x, but what happens if you try reorder it as F;8;S;2;+

Richard,

This is a known bug and is fixed in jBASE 4.1.6.16

Nice try, Kevin...but it's the S;amc that's broken, regardless of its position in the F-code :-(

It can be made to work on jBASE 4.1.6.16 as long as you set 'tconv_no_replace = false' in the 'Config_EMULATE' file. Yes, this too is a bug as Summing should not be dependent on the value of 'tconv_no_replace'. This will be addressed on 4.1.6.17.

Note that this is not a problem on jBASE 5.2.

If it’s anything like 5.x then the I-type version will probably work. In our experience I-TYPES are much more likely to work as expected in 5.X

SUM(fieldname8)+fieldname2

Same result, but according to Devsup it is a know bug fixed in the later version. I'll just upgrade to that. Thanks anyway Kevin.

I am only running 4x at one site. All my other sites are 3.4.x,
