Hi I used to use pb6.5 and use pipelines...if the source column has a width
of 4 and the destination column has a width of 4 BUT the data was length(6)
for example, 555111... the pipeline would not fail but APPEAR to truncate OR
set the data to 0 BUT NOT MAKE THE APP FALL OVER.

In PB 8 when I do this it complains (cannot convert decimal to 9) and falls
over... I think!
Can anyone confirm this?

It does the same thing with DataWindows (which is the heart of a data
pipeline). We found that when we migrated certain DataWindows from PB7 to
PB8, they would stop retrieving data before all the data was returned,
without any error message. We later determined that the problem was the
length of the column defined in the DataWindow. The minute it hit a record
that had more data than the column allowed, it stopped the retrieval.

I already submitted an enhancement request to get an error message when this
occurs. I don't like either the pre- or post- PB8 behavior. I want to know
if there is an issue.
