==================================== RELEASE NOTES FOR INFORMIX-ESQL/C for Windows 5.01.WJ1 As Of 03/22/96 ==================================== TABLE OF CONTENTS I. BUGS FIXED WITH 5.01.WJ1II. KNOWN PRODUCT DEFICIENCIES
I. BUGS FIXED WITH 5.01.WJ1 Bug 45063: Data conversion error with Arabic locale. Problem: For Arabic locale, thousands separator is null ('\0'). User string scanning loop in deccvasc(), skipped the actual string terminator and caused data conversion error. Solution: Corrected the string scanning logic. Bug 45462: rtypwidth() returns date length assuming date separator size to be 1 byte. Problem: With certain locales, date separator may be multibyte. Solution: Fixed the logic to handle multibyte separators.
II. KNOWN PRODUCT DEFICIENCIES The following deficiencies are known to exist in the 5.01.WJ1 product. Alternate date formats does not work. (bug 50105) Currently dates are formatted as per Gregorian calendar only, even if the locale file has specified the calendar to be Hebrew or Arabic. Locale setting does not affect datetime formatting. (bug 44954) The datetime format as specified in the locale file (D_T_FMT) is used when functions dttofmtasc() and dtcvfmtasc() are called. However, when a datetime column is fetched into char buffer or when an insert is attempted into datetime column using char string, the format (D_T_FMT) specified in the locale file is not used. Use DBTIME environment variable to affect datetime formatting.
