So it affects inserts or updated DATES or NUMBER data types.
Does Witango throw an error, or is this a silent failure?

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?
