Status: Unverified
FACT(s) (Environment):
CorVu 4.2
Progress 9.x
SYMPTOM(s):
Localized versions of CorVu client not returning data for certain months
CorVu German and Spanish clients not returning data for certain months
CorVu German client returns no data for March, May, October, December.
CorVu Spanish client returns no data for January, April, September and December.
local connect through the standard CorVu CVP##x.exe being used
CAUSE:
The month names had been hard-coded in English in the driver executable and will not match with the localized language files, i.e. there is a difference in the three
letter abbreviation between English and German: MAR/MÄR, MAY/MAI, OCT/OKT, DEC/DEZ.
This means that when using 3-letter month abbreviations in queries, certain data will not be retrieved.
FIX:
The workaround is to always connect using an ABA gateway.
CorVu support and development have been made aware of this issue.
Non-English clients can be downloaded from the CorVu website, currently under:

Note that authorization is required.
