PRB: Error When Running Gendbc.prg

WORKAROUND

To prevent this problem, alter the Gendbc.prg program file, or change the setting of EXACT. For example, type the following command in the command window:

   SET EXACT ON
				

Or type the following command in the command window:

   MODIFY Gendbc.prg.
				

In version 3.0, the offending line is 711, and in version 3.0b this line is

1. The line reads:

      LOCATE FOR UPPER(GenViewCursor.ObjectName ) = cViewName AND ;
         GenViewCursor.Objecttype = 'View'
   						

Change this line to read:

   LOCATE FOR ALLTRIM(UPPER( GenViewCursor.ObjectName )) == cViewName AND ;
      GenViewCursor.Objecttype = 'View'
				

This change includes the ALLTRIM function to remove all trailing spaces and changes the equals to double equals to ensure that an 'Exactly Like' match is used. The first time GENDBC is run after the change, it will automatically recompile and run correctly.
