Thanks to all of you !!
When I'm trying to make APPENDs from one computer to another, in a peer to peer Windows 95 network, one record at a time, in a loop, numeric fields that look like this in the sending machine (assume 10 bytes lenght):
[ 458.23] fine, but the receiving file (with identical structure) in the other computer, receive, in an erratic pattern, this:
[ ! 458.23] , or this:
[ 458/23]
Both are unusable. Clipper cannot workaround with this fields, and reads them as 0 value (zero). !! even in a DBedit.
The "!" symbol, in the first case, can be manualy erased and the field works, but the "/" symbol in the second case, cannot be erased and I need to edit it entirely manualy (it works like a real "." symbol in a numeric field in Clipper and Dbase, where you cannot position the cursor in it).
It can occur in a few records, in many, or in not one at all. Erratic.
No viruses found. The routine was working fine until January / 2000. Formerly was working in a Novell Netware. Since 1997 in a Windows 95 network.
The applications are running in leader mark machines (not clones). UTP wiring with 1 hub.
I changed the strategy of the routine, and with the help of batch files in a DOS shell, the system is working, now, properly but dirty from my programmer's view, and I need a cientific explication to this case.
Compiler: Clipper 5.2. Link: Rtlink.
Thanks to anyone who has an idea about what happens !!
