• Environment:
  
   - Operating System:
   Windows XP SP3
   - Product name:
   ClearQuest
   - Product Version:
  7.1.1.3
  
  
  Description of problem:
  
  
  
  When opening a hook or record script using the EPIC editor in
  the RCP Designer the error 'Illegal declaration of anonymous
  subroutine' is displayed in the 'Problems' section under the
  following conditions:
  
  - The Record Type to which the hook or Record Script belongs has
  a Hebrew name AND
  - The Regional Settings are set to Hebrew
  
  
  
  Steps to reproduce:
  
  
  
  - Use attached MS Access database with DefectTracking Schema
  - Set the Windows Codepage to 1255 (install support for
  left-to-right languages) and change the language for non-unicode
  programs to Hebrew, then reboot).
  - Check out the Schema in the RCP Designer and browse to the
  Stateless Record Type with a Hebrew name, expand and drill down
  to the Record Script that is attached
  - Right-click on the Record Script and select 'Open Perl Script
  With ? Epic Perl Editor'
  
  
  Workaround:

  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  The EPIC editor plug-in used for editing Perl code in the
  ClearQuest Eclipse-based Designer does not support UTF-8.
  This causes errors in displaying the pre-log template of
  hook code for some situations.
  

Problem conclusion

• A fix is available in ClearQuest 8.0.1.3.  The ClearQuest
  Eclipse-based Designer now recognizes these cases and
  displays the record's dbname as the prefix. This does not
  affect what is actually stored in the database. The only
  behavioral change is visual.
  

Temporary fix
