Invalid conversion error when using TEXT datatype in INPUT

Hello,

when I use the INPUT statement with a TEXT datatype I get an "Invalid conversion" error after finishing the INPUT with the accept key.

Here is a minimal example:

t1.4gl:

=====

main

define b1 text

open window w1 with form "f1"

locate b1 in file "/tmp/b1"

input b1 without defaults from myblob

close window w1

end main

=====

f1.per:

=====

database formonly

screen

{

[a ]

}

end

attributes

a = formonly.myblob type text;

=====

compile with

4glpc t1.4gl -o t1.4ae

fcompile f1.per

then run t1.4ae, press "!" to start DBEDIT, write some text, close edtor, finish INPUT with accept key:

Err:Program ./t1.4ae stopped at 't1.4gl', line number 5.

Error status number -30284.

Invalid conversion.

4gl function call stack :

MAIN

I seams the the INPUT statement accepts the datatype TEXT but returns it als CHAR?

see also the attached debug.out.gz

I used version 1.2_34 from aubit.com (not the latest CVS version, had some problems to compile on my machine).

System: ubuntu linux 13.10 64bit (compiler: gcc (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.8.1-10ubuntu8) 4.8.1).

This happens with A4GL_UI=TUI and also with XML (ventas client).

thanks for any help!

Walter
