We've run into an issue after merging a git branch and refreshing a pbl in powerbuilder 2017 R3. This happend on two datawindows in the same pbl, but we can't reproduce this issue. Hence the low priority.
I've attached two screenshots that contain the relevant parts of the datawindows. the pb_dw_before.png shows the state of the datawindow before the merge, the pb_dw_after.png shows the faulty characters after the merge, altough the datawindows in question were not changed on our master branch.
We could retrace our steps for this issue:
- new branch from git repository
- open powerbuilder
- modify existing datawindows in edit source to add new parameters for functions
- save and close powerbuilder
- push to repository
- merge from master
- refresh pbl
- push merged branch to repository
We think that up until step 6 or 7 everything was fine.
After deleting and readding the function in the datawindow the code seems to be alright.
This happend with two of four datawindows in the merge, all in the same pbl.
My best guess is that during the refresh something went wrong with importing or regenerating of the datawindows.
We're using PowerBuilder 2017 R3 Build 1858, git version 2.22.0.windows.1.
Any idea what could have caused this issue?
