Error description

  • Environment: Windows
    
    Product name: IBM? Rational? Business Developer
    Program Version    :  7.5.1.7
    Description.
    When including Hebrew characters in printing output these are
    not then shown in the printed file.
    
    An example scenario is where the form has a mixture of English
    characters and Hebrew characters on it. When sending the
    application to the printer the English output is correctly
    represented but the output stops at the first Hebrew character
    where those associated entries are then shown as empty values.
    
    This error occurs when using the EGL debugger and when running
    the generated Java code directly.

    ****************************************************************
    This problem is caused by bug in IBM JDK 6: an exception is
    thrown when JVM tries to determine Windows level.
    

Problem conclusion

  • We implemented a workaround into the product code: we set
    "os.system" property to value parsable to number before the
    characters draw, and then restore the original value.
