MaintDvorak: # 27609 (BDNT19955): DF159297 Planned delivery date/time not right

Date: Tue, 27 Sep 2005 13:36:53 +0200 (CEST)

Created on:  MaintMahler
Type:        bugfix

Problem Description (Customer terms)
When entering a new order line the orderdate and ordertime from the order header will be copied automatically.
E.g. 20-09-2005  13:00:00. When we change this orderdate now with the keyboard, the ordertime still keeps the same value (13:00:00).
When we press TAB after changing the orderdate, we reach the ordertime field. 
Still the value is 13:00:00. However, when pressing TAB now, we leave the field and
the value jumps to 00:00:00. 

This is not OK and will give problems.

Created on:  DevDvorak
Type:        enhancement

Problem Description (Customer terms)
For BIDI support in ERP LN, mirroring is done by BW (in stead of 4GL-Engine).

For alignment of fields (edit boxes and grid cells) special care must be taken to align dependent on the database type.

By default characer windows are in the left to right direction.

This can be overruled by the application by setting the DsNrightToLeft attribute on the main window.
This is for instance done by the report viewer (ottstpdisplay).

Created on:  DevDvorak
Type:        bugfix

Problem Description (Customer terms)
Handling of unexpected characters in BW is not yet correct.
When  a user entered string cannot be converted completely to TSS, 
the characters which could not be converted are replaced by "?" characters.
However in the BW control, still the orgiginaly entered characters are shown.
The control data must be updated as well in this case.

conversion from DBCS to TSS (and not the backend characterset).
