Linking problem in 7.10G

[Deskin, Bob]

I just heard from Allison about the linking problem in 7.10G and I thought
everyone would be interested. The bug # is 245681 and has to do with getting
a data conversion error linking an InterBase long binary to an InterBase
short binary. Turns out that the error existed at least as far back as
7.10E4 (and probably further back) but it was ignored rather than being
reported. During the development of the QTP Tracer (which is Allison's baby
and accomplishment - everyone say thank you to Allison), the code was
changed to report the error so it could be traced. Now the clincher. The
error only occurs when a value that is too large for the short binary is
used. In other words, this is a valid error message. This bug is being
rejected.
