Error description

• When PERL action_initialization hook for a record type with
  certain double-byte names has syntax errors, IBM Rational
  ClearQuest Designer fails to show the syntax errors in
  validating the schema. It returns the following error instead:
  
  ERROR : CRMCU0027E An error was detected retrieving information
  from the ClearQuest database.
  There is a reference to an object that does not exist:
    Object Type: Hook
    Object:
  This error was detected at: ClearQuest Core:adscriptdef.cpp:149
  
  It should return an error like below:
  
  Error : CRMMD1093E EntityDef '?record type?: Validation failure
  from the HookDef language processor:
  EntityDef '?record type?, ActionDef 'Submit', HookDef of type
  'ACTION_INITIALIZATION':
  syntax error at (eval 5) line 8, near '# $actionname as string
  scalar
  
  This problem happens with a record type which has some
  double-type characters in its name (Chinese or Japanese).
  It occurs with Chinese or Japanese OS or English OS with Chinese
  or Japanese code page.
  
  It happens in both Eclipse-based Designer and Windows Designer
  of ClearQuest version 7.1.2 or 8.0.0.

  If a ClearQuest schema has a record type name with certain
  double-byte characters, it fails during validation with an
  "Object that does not exist" error.
  

Problem conclusion

• A fix is available in ClearQuest 8.0.0.10.  ClearQuest
  schema validations are now successful for record type names
  with any valid double-byte character.
