SYMPTOM(s):
Error 142 with variable initial values
Initial value code page conversion doesn't work in OE10
Unable to update Field (142)
Initial value segment is not correctly converted from the r-code code page to cpinternal.
UTF-8 r-code can fail with error 142 when it is run using a non UTF-8 session.
Extended characters in the initial value of a variable can cause error 142, if a code page conversion is necessary (e.g. from r-code code page to -cpinternal), when writing to a LONGCHAR.
For example, with the following code compiled to create UTF-8 r-code, if the code is run in a 1252 (-cpinternal) session, then error 142 will be displayed at run time.
DEFINE VARIABLE c AS CHARACTER NO-UNDO INITIAL "ABCé".
DEFINE VARIABLE d AS CHARACTER NO-UNDO.
DEFINE VARIABLE l AS LONGCHAR NO-UNDO.
d = "ABCé".
c = c.
/* fix-codepage(l) = "utf-8". */
l = c.
MESSAGE "C Init val : " c skip
"D : " d skip VIEW-AS ALERT-BOX INFORMATION.
FACT(s) (Environment):
All Supported Operating Systems
OpenEdge 10.1C
CAUSE:
Bug# OE00172728
FIX:
Upgrade to OpenEdge 10.2B01 or later.
Or alternatively:
- if the r-code code page is UTF-8 then use FIX-CODEPAGE to set the code page of the LONGCHAR to UTF-8.
- Use an assignment statement instead of INITIAL values.
