Hi,

Does someone knows how to configure WebFocus (server/client) so that field:
aaa/I5 = 0;
and
Aaa/I5 = 0;

would be recognised as same field?

the problem is that in reporting object there was defined field 'aaa' after few weeks it was renamed as 'Aaa' and all reports created by user not work now...

Anyone knows how to solve that easy? with a SET or Some variable?

You could try the LET command.

Or do string searches in all the .fex programs in basedir to identify all of the programs that need to be changed. Then run some sort of script to change them en masse.

Find the person responsible .....

And then educate them Wink

Seriously though, Ginny has already suggested changes en-bloc and I guess that's the best way forward.

The best way forward would be to get all occurances of aaa or Aaa to be the same.

Adding in a LET statement will work, but in the future may cause many problems and misunderstandings.

Sometimes you need to do the hard yards to get a more robust system.

And since I'm old school, I never define a field in mixed case, ever. If I want it to look pretty, I give it an AS name.

In the olden days, we didn't have a mixed case option so old habits die hard, but they keep you out of trouble as well.

You might want to consider a 'best practice'.
