Mishandling of Double Quotation Marks in Dr.Sum

Last Updated:26/June/2018

Affected products

• All Dr. Sum Models Ver. 5.0.00.0000～5.0.00.0020

Summary

Double quotation marks included in query results are not properly handled when stored in in-memory tables. The same issue also occurs for results of queries on views, wherein the results are shown without escaping the quotes.

Because of this, the correct query results are not properly returned to the originators of the request. (e.g. For Datalizer, the results are incorrectly displayed, and/or when used in conditional statements returns an incorrect result.) 

This issue occurs when all of the conditions below are met:

1. Queries made to in-memory objects, whose results contain double quotation marks;
2. The query was made via Java or .NET APIs.
   Exception: Queries made via the DWDbiCursor & DWDbiCursor64 methods of the .NET API

Resolution

The patch to fix this issue will be released and available on the 4th of July, 2018.
