1. Errors not not thrown when literals are used with Unicode/National keys * Not a bug * Functions as designed.
2. Records not read when using a group field that includes Unicode characters. * Fixed * Tested May 23 engine

• • Literal values are entered as a string of single-byte characters with an 8859-15 (RAW Alpha) encoding. The string of bytes representing the literal characters is later used as a constraint for the key specified on a corresponding BEG READ or READNEXT statement. No conversion or transcoding of a literal BEG AT/END AT value is performed regardless of the type of key field specified on the corresponding BEG READ/READNEXT statement. This means that literal values on a BEG AT/END AT statement should probably only be used when the key field on the corresponding BEG READ/READNEXT statement is a RAW alpha field.

• Test with Raw operands
• Test with Group operands
• Test with UNICODE and NATIONAL operands
• Test literal operands with Raw keys
• Test literal operands with National/Unicode keys (should be error)

BEG AT / END AT Statements

Overview

• RAW operand:
  • No change from the current behavior.
• Group operand:
  • No change from the current behavior.
• UNICODE or NATIONAL operand:
  • No change from the current behavior.
  • Must allow for length to be longer.
• Literal operand:
  • All literal values are considered to be RAW alpha values and encoding of 8859-15.
  • Unicode escape sequences are NOT honored.
  • Literal values CANNOT be used to specify the range of records to read when the corresponding key field is a UNICODE or NATIONAL alpha field.

Test Plan

Do RAW operands worl correctly?

Do Group operands work correctly?

Do UNICODE and NATIONAL operands work correctly?

Do literal operands work correctly with non UNICODE or NATIONAL keys?

Are correct errors thrown when trying to use literlas with UNICODE or NATIONAL keys?
