 Hi,

 We have some problems with Forms version 4.5 when we run it in  Unix environment. Anyone can help me?

 BACKGROUND INFO:  · We have an Oracle8 v. 8.0.4.0.0 database mounted  on a Alpha 4100 running O.S. OSF1 v.4.0D 878.  · We developed some applications under Windows 95 using  Forms Builder v. 4.5.6.5.5. This applications were  designed to run in terminal (character) mode on the UNIX machine,  · so we used Forms Generator v. 4.5.10.6.0 to build the  executables and ran them using Forms Runform v. 4.5.10.6.0.

 PROBLEM:  In some cases when making an explicit INSERT into a database  table, the data written in some columns gets corrupted.  For instance if the value to be written into the column  is "ABC12345-1", the value that's actually saved is "ABC 1".

 When using the very same application, but generated with  the Windows Forms Builder v. 4.5.6.5.5 and ran with  Forms Runtime 4.5.6.5.5 this problem doesn't happen.

 PLATFORM:

  1. UNIX ENVIRONMENT: · Alpha 4100 running Digital UNIX OSF1 version 4.0D 878 · Oracle8 Server 8.0.4.0.0 · Forms 4.5 (Runform) version 4.5.10.6.0 · Forms 4.5 (Generator) version 4.5.10.6.0
  2. WINDOWS ENVIRONMENT: · Pentium PC running Windows NT Workstation or Windows 95. · Forms Builder 4.5.6.5.5 · Forms Runtime 4.5.6.5.5

 Any help would be very apreciated.

 Best regards,
