Status: Verified
FACT(s) (Environment):
Progress/400 DataServer
Progress 8.x
SYMPTOM(s):
The incremental .df for Progress/400 version 8 does not contain the foreign-name
Progress/400 V8 Incremental Utility does not dump any foreign information
Progress/400 version 8 Incremental Utility creates a Progress format delta.df only.
The client is version 8 as well
CAUSE:
This behavior is as designed.
FIX:
The behavior is as designed. When the delta .df is loaded in the AS/400, it automatically truncates any object name greater than 10 characters to create the AS/400 name and creates the foreign information necessary.
In version 9, the incremental utility has two choices - one to create the df in a Progress format and the other one in an AS/400 format. If the AS/400 format is chosen, all the foreign attributes are written to the delta.df.
