Table 2: Database Issues CR# Description 757989 Updates performed on a primary key in OData DataWindows may miss some values. The default behavior of updating primary keys in an OData DataWindow is to use Delete and then Insert. If the user changes the primary key of a row and saves the changes, the row is deleted and a new row is inserted, with the changed pri mary key value and other column values for the edited row. The columns of the table which were not selected in the DataWindow are missed in the row. In DataWindows using other datasources, you can change this default behavior. That option is not available in PowerBuilder 12.6 for DataWindows using an OData datasource. 756525, 756535 SQL Anywhere update required to use ODataSalesOrder example. To use the OData example of ODataSalesOrder in PowerBuilder 12.6 with SQL Anywhere, apply the latest EBF for SQL Anywhere 16.0. 752713 DateTimeOffset datatype and Time datatype are supported as display-only in OData applications In applications using an OData service, these datatypes are supported only for display. They cannot be used as retrieval arguments. 748612 No support for OData version 3 or later PowerBuilder 12.6 does not support OData Service version 3 or later. 2.3 Known Issues for the WPF Window and Menu Painters Learn about known issues and apply workarounds for the WPF Window and Menu painters in PowerBuilder .NET. Table 3: WPF Window and Menu Painter Issues CR# Description 698145 Error occurs when previewing a window that includes a Visual Object with a namespace. The error reads: Illegal data type: xxx.u_xxx.

Known Issues CR# Description 618528 Menu items that use special symbols in their names cannot be deleted. In PowerBuilder .NET, you cannot delete menus that include symbols, such as "@," "#,""$," and so on, in their names. 612182 PowerBuilder .NET does not properly support the Properties window Events tab. Not all events are listed on this tab, and if you show an object's events in the Properties window, then double-click an event, or click in the drop-down list next to one of the listed events, an error message indicates the event handler is inva lid. 2.4 Known Issues for the WPF DataWindow Learn about known issues and apply workarounds for the WPF DataWindow® in PowerBuilder .NET. Table 4: WPF DataWindow Issues CR# Description 756438 Calling PrintCancel crashes application on Windows Server 2012 and Win dows 8. If the user action calls Print on a WPF DataWindow and then calls PrintCancel, the application crashes. This occurs for both 32-bit and 64-bit applications run ning on Windows Server 2012 or Windows 8 machines. 675761 Select symbol display issue. In a .NET Assembly target's PrintDW at runtime, the select symbol does not ap pear for RadioButton or CheckBox controls. 675595 DW.Print to a physical printer does not work when print.filename is empty.
