** Please read this message in its entirety before responding **

To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today,
LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed
bugs which have not been touched for over a year.

There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this
bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the
details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in
getting confirmation that the bug is still present.

If you have time, please do the following:

Test to see if the bug is still present on a currently supported version of
LibreOffice 
(5.2.5 or 5.3.0  https://www.libreoffice.org/download/

If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the version of
LibreOffice and 
your operating system, and any changes you see in the bug behavior

If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to
RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave 
a short comment that includes your version of LibreOffice and Operating System

Please DO NOT

Update the version field
Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker)
Set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular
meaning that is not 
appropriate in this case)


If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a
REGRESSION. To do so:
1. Download and install oldest version of LibreOffice (usually 3.3 unless your
bug pertains to a feature added after 3.3)

http://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/

2. Test your bug
3. Leave a comment with your results.
4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to "inherited from OOo";
4b. If the bug was not present in 3.3 - add "regression" to keyword


Feel free to come ask questions or to say hello in our QA chat:
http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=libreoffice-qa

Thank you for helping us make LibreOffice even better for everyone!

Warm Regards,
QA Team

Bug is still present. Someone claimed that picking a non default language would
make the .dbt file appear. I can't reproduce that. What I did find is that if
save as once, then save as again, yes to overwrite, the .dbt file appears.

That is strange: apparently DBT file is saved only in case the user changes the
default codepage the DBF filter offers.

Created attachment 108475
  -- https://bugs.freedesktop.org/attachment.cgi?id=108475action=edit
dBase DBF files with memo fields.zip

Bug: LO-Calc save as DBF fails to create a memo file when columns contain a
memo field. The DBF file is unusable because it contains memo references to a
memo file that doesn't exist.

Language is not relevant to this bug. Use CP850. This bug applies to all known
versions of LO-Calc up to and including 4.3.2.2

Included are two pairs of test files, one created in dBase III and one created
in Foxpro. LO-Calc imports both correctly, correctly detecting whether the memo
is the dBase DBT or the Foxpro FPT. This means that code to read memo fields
exists within LO-Calc.

The bug lies in LO-Calc save as DBF. To test that you do not need the test
files though they do serve as a handy reference. Create a new spreadsheet and
paste this in using semicolon (;) as the column delimiter.

MESSAGE,C,10;TEXT,M
MESSAGE;Some memo text!
MESSAGE2;More memo text!

Save as DBF: test.dbf

Expected result: TEST.DBF, TEST.DBT or TEST.FPT
Actual result: TEST.DBF

The first thing we notice is that LO-Calc does not ask us what memo format we
want. Foxpro can read DBT but dBase3 cannot read FPT. It is acceptable to
always write a DBT but a better implementation would ask which format is
desired or have a Settings option that specifies which to use. Note that
there are other memo implementations not available to me.

The next thing we note is that a 140 byte DBF file is created but no DBT or FPT
is created. The memo text has been lost on save. We can use Linux hexdump to
see what's inside the dbf.

http://www.dbase.com/KnowledgeBase/int/db7_file_fmt.htm

hexdump -C test.dbf

0080  20 30 30 30 30 30 30 30  30 30 32 1a  | 02.|

If we view the DBF in a hex viewer we see that the first byte is 0x83. The 0x80
signifies that the DBF has standard memo fields. We also see on the right that
the field TEXT is marked with an M for memo. We also see that the file
pointers stored in the DBF data for the memo texts are 01 and
02 which are likely right. It seems that all of the code necessary for
producing a DBF and it's memo file is present in LO-Calc.

LO-Calc just doesn't create the memo file. LO-Calc can read the memo files but
doesn't create them. Attempts to open the DBF with a missing memo file fail
with errors.

Foxpro: MEMO file is missing/invalid.
dBase3: .DBT file cannot be opened.
