Release Date: 21-April-1995
Affected Versions: Neuralyst 1.40 to 1.40b
Symptoms: Using Edit Mode Lists to enter user values of Min and Max for a column sometimes results in the message “Min cannot be >= Max”.
Problem: Neuralyst Min and Max values can be either symbols or numeric, thus the validation tests for user entered field values, in the Edit Mode Lists command processing, test the types of Min and Max and coerce to the right types if needed. This coercion was improperly done for certain numeric forms, resulting in improper failure of the test. The test will incorrectly fail under the following conditions: (1) The Min value has fewer digits than the Max value, and (2) the first digit of the Min value is greater than the first digit of the Max value. Solution: Entering the Min and Max values for the failing columns directly into the corresponding Min and Max cells for that column will be accepted and treated correctly by Neuralyst during data processing. Ignore “Min cannot be >= Max” errors for directly entered values in such columns when examining them using Edit Mode Lists.
