HD63986: THE INCORRECT RESULT BETWEEN TWO SCRIPTS WITH THE SAME FU NCTION

APAR status

• Closed as Permanent restriction.

Error description

• Prob: The incorrect result between two scripts with
  the same function.
  .
  Operation:
  1. Create two scripts with the same function
  but they output a different result.
  For example:
  ===== Script File 'AAA.bs'
  Function MyFunction(ApplHndl As Long,Sstr As
  String,FirstPar
  As Long,SecondPar As Long,ThirdPar As Long ) As
  Integer
  MsgBox "AAA"
  End Function
  .
  ===== Script File 'BBB.bs'
  Function MyFunction(ApplHndl As Long,Sstr As
  String,FirstPar
  As Long,SecondPar As Long,ThirdPar As Long ) As
  Integer
  MsgBox "BBB"
  End Function
  .
  2. They are hooked on different operation by Script
  Maintenance
  For example:
  _________________ Before _____________ After
  ___________ Instead Of
  . . . .
  . . . .
  Check Out | MyFunction (AAA.bs) | . .
  Check In | MyFunction (BBB.bs) | . .
  . . . .
  . . . .
  3. Run above operation in order to launch script
  4. When run Check Out operation
  =====> Launch BBB.bs script : OK
  5. When run Check In operation
  =====> Launch BBB.bs script : NG
  .
  The hooked script does not launched correctly.
  .
  Remark:
  - I reproduced this problem on L1 SMARTEAM
  V5R17SP3.
  - When re-open Script Maintenance after step2
  already hooked AAA.bs replaced to BBB.bs.
  - When hooked only one script (AAA.bs or BBB.bs)
  it launched correctly.

Problem conclusion

• THIS PROBLEM IS PERMANENT RESTRICTION IN
  SMARTEAM
  Documentation will be provided in R18 SP1 GI
  (General issues) as follows:
  Function names in scripts
  ====================
  When the same function is used in different scripts
  which are attached by hooks, incorrect results
  occur.
  To ensure that scripts are launched correctly,
  provide different function names in the scripts.
