Bug Fixes

The following issues have been fixed in V4.2.3:

• Oracle Forms' playback files:
  • Record numbering in forms playback files was not always correct.
  • Cell comments weren't always saved.
• 'Cannot open clipboard' error could occur during a Copy & Paste load.
• Files saved without extensions did not have an extension automatically appended.
• If an error occurred when opening a file DataLoad would prompt the user as if the file was being saved.
• Pasting data into a forms playback spreadsheet could cause a "divide by zero" error.
• Command groups could be missing from the command group drop list in V4.2.2.

Command Definitions

The following command definitions have changed in V4.2.3:

• Closing bracket on *PB was a ) and not a }.
• Certain commands kept the Alt key depressed for longer than was required, meaning focus remained on the menu after a menu call.

* = Fully implemented in DataLoad Professional. DataLoad Classic contains a trial version of this functionality to enable it to be evaluated before a purchase of DataLoad Professional.
