Seb provided a copy of the 2.x fgldbsch for us under 1.3x, so we could use the -cv ability to convert LVARCHARs to VARCHARs. A client would also like to have this facility under 1.3 - is there any problem with me passing on the 4gl code and them compiling up their own version? Or will 1.3x itself ever support the conversion?

Hello Steve,

It's not a big deal for us to add this conversion in fgldbsch of 1.33, I will do that right now.
The question is: When will we release an new MR for 1.33?
Nothing is planed yet.

You can pass on the fgldbsch.4gl of 2.xx, but please rename it to avoid any confusion with the original fgldbsch.4gl shipped with 1.33.

Seb

Seb,
As long as we can use the 2.x version back in 1.3 then I don't think a 1.3 change is required (that was just a question to cater for you saying 'no, its not ok'.
I copied all the 1.3 fgldbsch code to 'safe' areas before I started for the client - but I've been using the 2.x in 1.3 code since 2006 without a hitch.

Thanks Seb
