Unicode in Action names

[Toth, Istvan Zoltan]

Hi,

I have a problem using unicode character in Action name.

What I'm trying to do is to use the '[ch931]' (U+03A3: Greek Capital Letter Sigma) in the name.

1) I select the character in the Character Map,
2) then Copy it to the clipboard
3) paste it into the name field of the Action

All goes well until I open the action again. Then the character is converted to 'S'.

Also when I save and re-open the project, all of these characters are converted into 'S'.

I've tried to use JET 4.0 but seen no difference.

Operating system: Windows 8
Program version (from About dialog): 10.0.1005 - Unicode
Database version (from About dialog): 4.01

My questions are:

1) Am I doing something wrong?
2) Should this work at all?
3) Would DBMS solve the problem? (To be honest I wouldn't like to set it up right now).

Thank you for your help,
Kind regards,
Istvan

I have the same observation. Interestingly, when you create a class with a '[ch931]' in the name it shows correctly in the project browser - until you reload the project. I tested the same with notes fields and the behavior is the same - it's translated into a 'S'. As EA claims to have Unicode support you should report this as a bug (link at bottom right of this page).

Are you using a JET 4 repository. (Downloadable from http://www.sparxsystems.com/bin/EABase_JET4.zip)

If you're using the standard base model for .eap files distributed with EA, then the file format doesn't support unicode.

argh - yes, it's still set to Jet3. Is there any good reason that the default is Jet3 and not 4?

Licenses, distribution rights etc. (ie. Not a technical reason)
