v12.6 OS 10.6.8 Hello! I was recently made aware of the fact that, on some web pages, a multiplication sign was displaying as what looked like a square root symbol + a lowercase accented "o".
The database is running in unicode; the web site is using UTF-8. The pages in question are displaying a blob variable that contains about 4000 line items. The blob was created using the constant UTF8 text without length. The only clue I found was a brief note under PROCESS HTML TAGS: "Beginning with version 12 of 4D, when you use BLOB type parameters, the command automatically considers that the character set used for BLOBs is MacRoman." I didn't see that important detail mentioned anywhere but in reference to that one command, but, since text variables can now hold up to 2 GB, I tried substituting a text variable. Doing that did clear up the multiplication sign issue, but now the data was truncated. Only about 3000 line items were displayed. Would 4000 line items be enough to overflow 2 GB? (Each line item contains only around 300 characters.) I can split the data into two text variables, and that appears to work, but it seems like it should be unnecessary. What are some recommended ways to handle this? Thank you all in advance - Janie Janie Marlow [email protected] Travelers Rest, SC ********************************************************************** 4D Internet Users Group (4D iNUG) Archive: http://lists.4d.com/archives.html Options: https://lists.4d.com/mailman/options/4d_tech Unsub: mailto:[email protected] **********************************************************************
