WIDE CHAR error

Hello,

I'm getting <WIDE CHAR> error in one of my routines, I was thinking a corrupted data or disk out of space or no mount database but all seems to be OK?

I'm running Cache 2014.1.2 and the same routines and data works in our client main server with not problems but having the same copy in their backup server is generating <WIDE CHAR> error, some other reports works but this specific doesn't?

Thanks

I guess this is related to the difference in your Cache installations. Check your locale definitions! It can happen, if you export

unicode data and import them in 8-bit Cache instalation.

Yes, I think that's what it is.

Cheers

You can use the $ziswide intrinsic function to check whether a global is portable to an eight-bit instance.
