Hi,

we just found the "feature" again, that in record-sections of db-files, the DTYP field has to be set before the INP or OUT field (at least for INST_IO), it took us an hour or two to track this down.
I didn't search for that in the AppDevGuide and other docs, since I'm afraid (and definitely hope), I'll find that documented, since I found tha last reference to that "feature" on tech-talk back in '99. It was undocumented back then...


Section 6.12 of the latest 3.14 Application Developers Guide contains a subsection 6.12.2 which is titled "definitions" look for

DBF_INLINK, DBF_OUTLINK

In the NOTES it states that DTYP must be defined before the associated INP or OUT field.

I looked and this note appears in the earliest 3.14 version of the appDevGuide.
