Hi folks,

I have discovered a filter table loop issue when using the decrypt function 
referencing a table column.  

The workaround I have discovered is simply to reference the same column in a 
separate, redundant, simple set fields assignment.

I post the details here for others to note - possibly even BMC.

ARS 6.3 p 13 Windows (forgive me!)
Oracle 9.2.0.1.0 Windows

Schema:
  X      char 0         used for redundant assignment
  Key    char 30        encrypt / decrypt key
  Src    char 30   DO   encrypt / decrypt src string
  Val    char 30   DO   encrypt / decrypt working string
  t      tbl            table loop table
  tCry   col            encrypted string table column
  tId    col            table column with record id

filter launches the table loop guide
The first one fails!  Val is assigned ""
The second guide succeeds!

guide (failing):
     set fields Val = decrypt(tCry, Key)

guide (succeeding):
      set fields X   = X + tCry + "; "
      set fields Val = decrypt(tCry, Key)

Cheers
