Indeed, but I can't find what needs to be fixed. I simply didn't set my field sizes, and I would expect it to accept any sizes, and I cannot find why it's cutted in the special value of 255. Also note that the schema for TSdfDataset is different then for TFixedDataset. I think the problem is somewhere in TSdfDataSet.InternalInitFieldDefs, but the code is rather wierd and hard to understand. Even the high readability of Pascal doesn't help in a code with a lot of short whiles zero comments. Even worse to debug, today it suddenly started working without any code changes!! =( It also works even if I change MaxRecordLength to 1, which proves that this field is absolutely unnecessary.... I renamed it to DefaultRecordLength. Didn't yet commit. Another wierd thing is that it absolutely does not work (nothing is read from database) if I don't set MaxRecordLength. The property has a default value of 250, which somehow does not work, so I removed the default in the property and initialized the value in the constructor, which works. -- Felipe Monteiro de Carvalho _______________________________________________ fpc-devel maillist - [email protected] http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-devel
