Default Flash compile problem D3/NT 7.5.6 - 09-06-2010 , 11:16 PM






Just came across this problem on a client's system. Below is a
cut/paste of a simple program that demonstrates the issue. First
result is OK as it is not Flash compiled. Second result is Flashed and
in error.

Problem not seen in D3/NT 7.5.5 or 7.5.7, so I guess it crept in on
7.5.6 and was corrected. Slight alterations to this code will produce a
correct result, so it's an odd bug to be sure. I haven't bothered to
check the TL posted resolutions on this.

001 R = 80000
002 L = 11
003 L = OCONV(L,'MR2')
004 R = OCONV(R,'MR6')
005 A = L * R
006 A = ICONV(A,'MR4')
007 CRT A
008 CRT OCONV(A,'MR4')

Any word from TL?

It might be an odd bug, but anytime the math is wrong on a report or
something, it's a big black eye for the whole system.

I haven't followed-up with TL because the problem is not seen in 7.5.7.
I did glance over the action item resolutions for 7.5.x, and though no
resolution appears to address this bug directly, there were a few
Action IDs that may be related (33139, 31643, 31742). However, none of
those action IDs are for the 7.5.7 release.

One thing for sure that is scary is the volume of Flash related bugs
addressed throughout the 7.5.x releases. At least they're getting
things fixed, I guess.

Kevin,

I am curious if you have tried the 9.0 version and if it has the same
problems.

No, I have not tried it and I doubt that I will, at least until it has
a few service packs applied. This has nothing to do with TL, but
rather, my general reservations about diving into major new releases.

Is 9.0 out or still a beta? If it is still beta, any idea when it
will finally be out? It seems like it has been in beta forever!

As per the TL website, it is still an "upcoming" release.

MV BAse 3.0 has just been released, so I would think that 9.0 will be
out this month ...
