FWD » Core Development » Database

OK, I resolved the issue for myself. It is a weird FWD conversion issue. In my .df file I had a permanent table called ttw and non-default buffer xtt for tt for some reason was converted as a buffer for ttw and not tt. The testcase was converted to a compilable state, that's why I didn't notice it. I removed ttw from .df and the issue is gone.

What should I do with this task?

ADD TABLE "ttw" 
  AREA "Schema Area" 
  DUMP-NAME "ttw" 

ADD FIELD "ff1" OF "ttw" AS integer
  FORMAT "->,>>>,>>9" 
  INITIAL "0" 
  POSITION 10
  MAX-WIDTH 4
  ORDER 100

ADD FIELD "ff2" OF "ttw" AS integer
  FORMAT "->,>>>,>>9" 
  INITIAL "0" 
  POSITION 20
  MAX-WIDTH 4
  ORDER 200

ADD FIELD "ff3" OF "ttw" AS integer
  FORMAT "->,>>>,>>9" 
  INITIAL "0" 
  POSITION 30
  MAX-WIDTH 4
  ORDER 300
  extent 5

ADD FIELD "ff4" OF "ttw" AS integer
  FORMAT "->,>>>,>>9" 
  INITIAL "0" 
  POSITION 40
  MAX-WIDTH 4
  ORDER 400

ADD FIELD "ff5" OF "ttw" AS integer
  FORMAT "->,>>>,>>9" 
  INITIAL "0" 
  POSITION 50
  MAX-WIDTH 4
  ORDER 500
  extent 5

ADD FIELD "ff6" OF "ttw" AS integer
  FORMAT "->,>>>,>>9" 
  INITIAL "0" 
  POSITION 60
  MAX-WIDTH 4
  ORDER 600
  extent 5.

Please run the test in OpenEdge with the same .df schema as you originally used in FWD - if OpenEdge behaves the same as FWD, then we can close this.

No, 4GL doesn't behave in this way.
