A New kernel & client release is out.

Kernel 5.5 r303
Client 503

[Ross Bevin]

I advise anyone contemplating upgrading to r303 to hold off for now.

We just went live with r303 on Windows 2000 Server this morning, but had to go back to r216 5 hours later. A user had informed us that a certain report was not printing anything, but should have. On further investigation, I discovered 8 records were selected in sort/select logic but were not getting processed after the sort/select pass. Even though this was just a report we felt it was too dangerous to continue running this release in case this problem occurs in update function sort/select logic as well, resulting in possible data corruption. After reinstalling r216 this report function processed the records correctly.

I have reported this problem to Pro-IV and will keep you posted as to the outcome.

I have reported this bug to Pro-IV in Irvine and they are working on it. I haven't got a case number back yet though. When I convert the files to Pro-ISAM the function works correctly. So this may be only a Pro-IV using SQL Server problem. I will keep everyone posted.

Pro-IV has confirmed that 5.5 r303 has a flaw when using SQL Server. I don't know if it affects other databases as well. They have said the problem is fixed and will be releasing a new build after testing.
