HD92089: PROBLEM WHILE SAVING CONSTRAINTS WITH SPECIAL CHARACTERS

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• SCENARIO:
  1.Open 3DCom.
  2.Open VPM search result window.
  3.Create an element in VPMENV.Part:Part_A
  4.Create an element in VPMENV.Part:Part_B
  5.Create an element in VPMENV.Part:Part_C
  6.Copy&Paste quantity Part_B two times in PSN of Part_A.
  7.Copy&Paste Part_C behind Part_B.
  8.Attach provided CATPart to VPMENV.Cad of Part_C.
  9.Change your "User Interface Language" to German:
  Tools-Customize-Options.
  10.Restart Catia and load created structure into it "Open as
  new product".
  11.Switch assembly into design mode.
  12.Move given Part_B.2 200mm on x-axis.
  13.Create "Kontaktbedingung" from blue plane of Part_B.1 to
  Part_B.2
  14.Run update.
  15.File-Save and Close Catia.
  16.Restart Catia and load structure into it "Open as new
  product".
  17.Switch assembly into design mode.
  18.Create "Kontaktbedingung" from yellow plane of Part_B.1 to
  Part_B.2.
  19.Run update.
  20.File-Save and Close Catia.
  21.Restart Catia and load structure into it "Open as new
  product".
  22.Switch assembly into design mode.
  23.Please notice that there are two Constraints with the same
  name "Fl?chenkontakt.1".
  24.Move Part_B.1 along all three axis using the compass.
  25.Move Part_B.2 along all three axis using the compass.
  26.Do not run update.
  27.Try to save movement to 3DCom using "File-Save".
  .
  RESULT:
  There's an error message while the changes are saved to
  3DCom, strange names created for Fl?chenkontakt, the
  special character is replaced by "~Af?x".
