RE: Strange QtmhCvtDB problem

Joel,

Sounds to me like either your file is not what you think it is,
or one of your other variables are not long enough - I always place
in my code the same copy member, and it is heavily padded.

Good or bad, it keeps it simple.

I have run into this with short variables, and also with a test
and a live DB file which where not exactly the same layout.

HTH

Subject: [WEB400] Strange QtmhCvtDB problem


I'm experiencing a strange problem with QtmhCvtDB.

I have a web page submitting the following form:

<form name="update" method="post" action="myCGI">
<input type="hidden" name="STATS" value="p76453tr">
<input type="hidden" name="SESSION" value="jsmasi-bracjoelc81853682">
<input type="hidden" name="AUTHCODE" value="*SUPER">
<input type="hidden" name="CLIENTID" value="demo">
<input type="hidden" name="AXTYPE" value="R">
<input type="hidden" name="AXLOC" value="SWVA">
<input type="text" name="BEGDATE" value="08/05/2002">
<input type="text" name="ENDDATE" value="08/05/2007">
</form>

In debug, the Environment variable String passed to QtmhCvtDB look like
this...

STATS=p76453tr
&SESSION=jsmasi-bracjoelc81853682
&AUTHCODE=*SUPER
&CLIENTID=demo
&AXTYPE=R
&AXLOC=SWVA
&BEGDATE=08/05/2002
&ENDDATE=08/05/2007


The file used by QtmhCvtDB is defined like this:

A          R AUTH5R
A            STATS        128
A            SESSION       60
A            AUTHCODE      15
A            CLIENTID      15
A            AXTYPE         1
A            AXLOC         10
A            BEGDATE       10
A            ENDDATE       10


But after the call to QtmhCvtDB the last variable (ENDDATE) in the DS is not
populated...

STATS OF ENVDS =
          ....5...10...15...20...25...30...35...40...45...50...55...60
     1   'p76453tr
'
    61   '
'
   121   '        '
SESSION OF ENVDS =
         'jsmasi-bracjoelc81853682                                    '
AUTHCODE OF ENVDS = '*SUPER         '
CLIENTID OF ENVDS = 'demo           '
AXTYPE OF ENVDS = 'R'
AXLOC OF ENVDS = 'SWVA      '
BEGDATE OF ENVDS = '08/05/2002'
ENDDATE OF ENVDS = '          '


The fields are all named correctly, the data is present.  What else couldbe
causing this?  I've never had a problem with QtmhCvtDB before...
