Error description

  • User has the following record definition, and statement in the
    code to convert the record.
    
    Record RGR-SIKKERHED type basicRecord
      5 TOP-HEX hex(984) ;
        10 CHECK-GUI-NAVN char(8) ;
        10 RETUR-KODE num(2) ;
        10 SIKKERHED-IDX smallint ; // Work index
        10 GUI-NAVN char(8) [50] ;
        10 GUI-KODE char(1) [50] ; // Blank=ok,1+2=sp?r.,3=ej adgang
        10 VERSIONSNAVN char(30) ;
    end // end RGR-SIKKERHED
    
    
    sysLib.convert(RGR-SIKKERHED , ConvertDirection.Local, 'ELACNENU
    ');
    
    
    The conversion only works on the first 51 characters of the reco
    rd. The code is including only one element in calculating the le
    ngth to convert. (51=8+2+2+8+1+30)
    
    
    The problem is reported on 7.5.1.4, but occurs on 7.5.1.5 as wel
    l.
