hi,

just tried to put this in the bug tracker on the website, and it wouldn't 
let me (it kept saying all the fields were empty...really, they weren't), 
so, i figurerd here was as good a place as any...

product: witango dev studio 5.5.3 on mac os x 10.2.8

summary: 5.5 beta adds extraneous quote-chars to search actions with 
custom columns

description: with a taf file created using 5.0 (or tango2000), if i have a 
custom-column in a search action, the xml that is generated has some extra 
quote (") marks.

reproduced: every time

steps: using an oci connection (don't know if this is important)

1. make a taf in 5.0 with a search action that contains a custom column. i 
have always used a concatenated string.

1a. run this using 5.0 server on mac os x...all ok

2. open this taf in 5.5 and make a change to force a save (i have changed 
the sort order of the search..and then changed it back)

2a. run this new file on same server...oops


actual results: when the search action is performed, i get...


Error
 An error occurred while processing your request:

  File: scottlocal.taf

 ORA-00972: identifier is too long

   File: scottlocal.taf
 Position: RecordList
 Class: Internal
 Main Error Number: -101
 

 General error during data source operation.
 

 
expected results: the search

additional info:
i'm using the scott/tiger database as setup by the install as an 
example...i discovered this when using 5.5 to modify my real live taf 
files.

my custom column is defined as...

to_char(scott.emp.deptno)||' '||to_char(scott.emp.empno)


in 5.0, the xml which is produced is...

<ColumnName><![CDATA[to_char(scott.emp.deptno)||' 
'||to_char(scott.emp.empno)]]></ColumnName>


in 5.5 the xml is...

<ColumnName><![CDATA[to_char(scott."emp.deptno)||' 
'||to_char(scott.emp.empno)"]]></ColumnName>



the same extra "s appear in the sort section as well (i figure, if you fix 
one, you'll fix both...)


i can send you two taf files if you need them (but re-creating the problem 
is easy)

cheers,

russell
