Good morning,

I’ve just upgraded to 7.7.6.7 and have a couple of Q’s:

1) My previous Imports used double quotes consistently around field names such as "[F1]" – does this mean I need to change each and every one now to remove this? If so, is there a function to change this throughout to make the conversion easier?

- These field are now being imported with quotes around them in the data

2) I can’t find the menu item referenced in #3 below “Correct calculations” – Can you tell me where this is located?


Thanks


*****************************************************

7.7.6.7

Various bugs fixes

Repository creation wizard was introduced


7.7.6.6

Problem with null dates was resolved

7.7.6.5

Major update

Calculations and scripting language changes


Syntax is slightly different now


1 source fields are always strings

a) no need to use "[F1]"

b) [F1]+[F2] will concatenate two fields

if you want to add them use conversion functions

StrtoFloat([F1])+StrtoFloat([F2])


2 use single quotes instead of double quotes

eg GetSystemVariable('SYSTEM_DATE') GetSystemVariable("SYSTEM_DATE")


3 in order to make conversion easier we have added new menu item

"Correct calculations"


4 Lots of new functions, procedures and language changes (see documentation)


Date time fields support

Default Format was changed to YYYY-MM-DD HH:NN:SS.ZZZ for ODBC and SQL server connections

They also support fractions of seconds now
