Sales & Purchase issues

[Vincent (Bryan) Coen]

Found an issue in Sales that having started work on Purchase will end up having a similar possible issue, namely:

Programs that use Open Item files may not be working on the data data areas due to the way I coded the DAL processsing from within the programs, simply, I copy the RDB data across to WS but may not be using the specific area. Have now dry checked Sales and it looks ok but . . .
Testing will show it up by the obvious show of junk data.

I will try and ensure that Purchase Ledger is coded to use the FD definition as a WS area and keep all group moves before any processing.

Will start on this from 18th Dec (17).

Anyone testing the nightly builds should report any issues found here and/or the bug reporting tools.
Please advise HERE if you are testing this nightly release but initial testing should be with the Cobol files in use as there are loads of programs in the ./common directory to transfer the Cobol file data to RDB which you must have set up by :

1. Running the currently included mysql/ACASDB.sql which holds the current RDB design, then setting the ACASDB to have user access for the Linux / Windows test user. Here I am using a test user as seen in the file ACAS parameters as user dev-prog-001 and here is the current content of this file that sits in the system data directory ACAS :-

DBHOST=192.168.1.5
DBUSER=dev-prog-001
DBPASSWD=mysqlpass
DBNAME=ACASDB
DBPORT=3306
DBSOCKET=/tmp/mysql.sock

This rdb dump does not include any of my test data as some tables are large (sales and purchase customer ledgers).

These setting are also in the system.dat file for the RDB parameter values.
You will need to change the DBHOST address which in my case is a Mac Pro OSX system but when I play with the RDB in my local machine it is 192.168.1.3 and yes I have two copies of a rdb running with the local running mariadb and the Mac using MySQL.

WARNING: The nightly archive builds come directly from the WIP (Work in Progress source code) and have in many instances NOT been tested by me. How ever, the data load programs have been (as far as I remember).

All programs have now been converted over to v3.02 using the FH and DALs.

Next is unit testing for Cobol files.

The above mentioned bug has needless to say, been cleared some time ago.

[Vincent (Bryan) Coen]

Some new bug & feature requests from client MPI have been added into tracker as found them from the v3.0 releases and not sure they have been fixed. marked as to be tested for.
I am currently 'assuming' that they have been all fixed but testing needs to be done to confirm this.

New found bug that apples to sales and purchase for invoices and autogen (recurring invoices) that prevents operations using the invoice line item records in the four tables.

This is a Critical error and is being worked on - see Tracker for the full bug report.
