If you look at a taf, in a text editor, search for !CST. If you find
any, this is ok if the column it references is a custom column. But
if it is not, and should be a char, or especially date, or tims, then
it is the bug. And you need to fix manually.
You will know if you are bitten by it, if you start having errors,
where you are inserting or updated DATES, or numbers, and it is not
working properly.
It occurs mostly when you use the mac os x dev studio, and are
editing a taf, while you are NOT logged into the datasources the taf
uses.
The best way to keep from happening, is to log in to all datasources
in witango, before editing a taf. This is supposed to be fixed in v6
or v5.75 of the dev studio, but both have become vaporware at this
point.

Wow, I just searched the forum for info on the !CST bug.
None of the postings really described what the bug symptoms are.
One posting mentioned that switching an insert action from using
<@ARG> to <@VAR> caused a problem and they fix by editing xml
datatype from "Text" to "!CST".
I have just completed converting all our T2k Mac tafs to Witango
5.5 on PC using ODBC and are going live in two days. Have ~50 TAFS
with ~500 lines using DataType=!CST. Do I have a disaster waiting
to happen?
