[comp.databases] Sybase problems on Interactive

luciano@ghost.unimi.it (Luciano Candiani) (05/03/91)

Hi,
I have some little problem with Sybase for Interactive: 
can someone help me, please ?

		"Machine Configuration"
Machine:		AT clone 386/25
Math co-processor:	Intel 387
Memory:			2Mb +
			8Mb by SIM modules
Hard disk:		200Mb
Monitor:		VGA

O.S.:			Unix System V/386 Rel. 3.2
DBMS:			Sybase Rel. 4.0

		"Bugs encountered"
1) Defining into a form, with APT, two fields
	*Field 1: __________
	 Field 2: __________
   where the Special Attributes of the 2nd field are:
	   Entry values: via SQL on demand
	   Values SQL: select xyz from my_table where
		       xyz = '{Field 1}' order by xyz
			       ^^^^^^^ *see before
   during the execution of the form itself using the command ^V
   on the 2nd field the following message is displayed:
	"No non-null values for this field"
   But this is not true.

2) Defining into a form, with APT, a DATATIME field
	Field x: ___________________
   during the execution, giving a dummy value as input on that
   field (Example: 1 <RETURN>) the following message is
   displayed:
	"DB-Library: Data-conversion resulted in overflow"
   Then the program aborts.

3) Defining a form, with APT, of length more than what is showable
   during the execution of the program, the scroll arrows of the
   form
			  ^
			< + >
			  v
   result not enabled; the form will scroll only when we reach a
   field in the side non visible.

Note:
   The bugs 1) and 2) are not present in the SUN's Sybase
   version while the bug 3) in the SUN version is true only for
   the left/right arrows.

		"Question"
Does someone know if exist (and where I can buy it) the Sybase
termdef for X-terminal ?

(Sorry for my English) Thanks in advance

(reply in e-mail if you want).
