We have just installed c4 (incl sp9 and some weekly patches) and upgraded to portingset 6.1c.06.02

After the upgrade one of our customized scripts is malfunctioning:
Somewhere in the script a select statement was done to select all items without a "/" on position 8. (special items in our company)
it said something like :

select ...
from psfrm010
where
and psfrm010.fitm(8;1) <> "/"
...

it was this line that caused the problem.

Nothing was selected although lots of items fulfill the conditions.

During some more testings I changed the line into

... and psfrm010.fitm(8;1) not like "/" ...

and now it works.

It must be something to do with the newer tools version (somewhere in a service pack) or the portingset.

I have no clue yet on any specific objects or programs to check.

Has Baan changed the functionality in order that a "/" is a special character in sql in c4 ?

today i installed the portingset 6.1c.06.03 and the problem is fixed. We can use the '<>' operator again without any problems.

Portinset fixes document said "The Oracle level-2 drivers returns wrong results on queries containing a SUBSTRING expression."
