Bug #9694

Updated by Razvan-Nicolae Chichirau over 1 year ago

When trying to import binary files such as .pdf, .xls, etc in 4GL and read them as non-binary (@INPUT FROM@ without @BINARY@ option), strange things can happen. More exactly, OE tries to interpret every character being read and this results in a special behavior around the EOF character which is also known as the "substitute char" (hex is @0x1A@).

This problem was found in #9611 and and more rigorously documented in #9611-34.
