Error description

  • Rational Business Developer V7.5.1.4:
    
    The EGL COBOL support does not display underscores in
    constant fields on text forms when Highlight=underline is set
    and no value is defined in the field.  The EGL debugger
    correctly displays the underscores.
    
    The COBOL support does not support Highlight=underline for
    print forms but it should support this attribute for text forms.
    

Local fix

  • A testfix is available from support.
    

Problem summary

  • Constant fields defined with underline were not showing
    underline when the field did not have a value.
    

Problem conclusion

  • The generator was checking the value length and ignoring the
    FieldLen. The generator now checks both value length and
    fieldlen for the size of the field.
    

Temporary fix
