Hi

Since PB22 (build 1892) we do have problems with XML export from datawindows.

We use the following function toi retrieve XML from a datawindow:
Describe('DataWindow.Data.XML')

 

The problem is that de decmal sign sometimes is set to a comma, instead of a point.

When that happens once, all the other exports that works fine before do also export the wrong decimal sign.

Ex. I have three datawindows with a SSQL with decimal columns in it.
When the first and second export fine( with a point as a decimal sign) and the third exports a comma as a decimal sign.
Then the second time the first and second datawindow export a comma as a decimal sign too.
It keeps getting wrrong. I have to close the application. After that de the first and second datawindow export fine again.

When I export the third datawindow right after the start of the application, all the three export a comma as a decimal sign.

It seems that something in the third datawindos does broken the XML export function.
I tried the SetCultureFormat() function. Just before the Describe:

                    IF lds_sub.SetCultureFormat('sDecimal=.    sThousand=    ') <> 1 THEN
                        MessageBox('SetCultureFormat lds_sub', 'error')
                    END IF

But that did not help. The SetCultureFormat does return a 1.

Is there a know problem with the decimal sign in the 'DataWindow.Data.XML' ?

We like to deplooy our application with the PB22 version, therefor we need a fix for this problem.

Hi Hans,

If this wasn't happening before pb 2022, I think it should be reported as a bug: https://www.appeon.com/standardsupport/newbug

I agree with Miguel. If it looks like a product bug rather than user mistake, please open support ticket. Thanks!
