The version on the Community Downloads doesn't work on Solaris. If you're planning to use it on Solaris, get the ARFperl from Remedy's KB. Just search the KB for arfperl. It's KM-000000020600 The Solaris version is arfperl_unix2.tar.gz and it's 290KB.
There's also a bug in parsing the output. If a $NULL$ field is passed as an argument and isn't changed, perl sees it as an empty string "" and it's returned as a $NULL$. If your script sets variable to "", it's returned as " ". Line 374: if (myString != NULL) should be changed to: if (myString != NULL && myString[0] != '\0') I don't know if all versions have this bug or whether it's related to the database. Sybase can't have empty character fields, so it replaces them with a single space. -----Original Message----- From: Carey Matthew Black [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, July 14, 2006 4:14 PM To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Subject: Re: Does $PROCESS$ have a character Limitation using Solaris 9 Jack, http://www.bmc.com/arsystem/dev_community/ --> Community Downloads (on the left) AKA: ( http://liberty.remedy.com/arsys/servlet/ViewFormServlet?mode=Query&form= DevDownloadsStart&view=web&server=action1&username=ARWebUser&pwd= ) Login Select "View All Utilities" Find "arfperl 5.0" (not sure if there is a version 6 of this) OR Find "AR System Scripting Plug-In for Java" Your choice depends on what ARS version your using and which language you want to use.

Do I need to compile the ARFPerl Plugin? If so, where do I get this from? Thanks!
