Error description

  • Rational Business Developer V7.5.1.6:
    
    The following message is received when changing a numeric form
    field to a non-numeric type using the EGL Text Form Editor in
    the Design view:
    
      IWN.SYN.2109.e 15/139 Syntax error.  Delete this token.
    
    The following is an example of a form with a numeric form field
    before it is changed:
    
      form TSAMPLE type textForm{FormSize =[24, 80],
        Position =[1, 1]}
    
        field1 num(21, 2){position =[8, 20],
          fieldLen = 21, validationOrder = 6, color = defaultColor,
          highlight = noHighlight, align = right,
          intensity = normalIntensity, protect = Protect,
          sign = none, numericSeparator = yes, zeroFormat = no};
    
      end
    
    The following is the form after the type for form field1 was
    changed from a NUM to CHAR.  Note that there is a comma after
    the last field property which should not be there which causes
    the syntax error.
    
      form TSAMPLE type textForm{FormSize =[24, 80],
        Position =[1, 1]}
    
        field1 char(21){position =[8, 20],
          validationOrder = 6, color = defaultColor,
          highlight = noHighlight, align = right,
          intensity = normalIntensity, protect = Protect, };
    
      end

    from a numeric type to non-numeric type in the form editor
    

Problem conclusion

  • Unsupported attributes removed from field attribute when the
    type changes. However if they were last attributes then the
    previous attribute remains with an extra ','. The extra ','
    is now being removed.
