Object Text Export Variations

Hi there, ive got the case here that if i export an object from two different databases, the show some strange changes. Not like one object has changes that the other dont has (thats the case, true), but they also show differences in places where they should not have differences. Like this one: Table 13 from DB1:

...
{ 5055; ;No. of Opportunities;Integer;FieldClass=FlowField
                                      CalcFormula=bla bla bla WHERE Condition1
                                                                    Condition2
                                                                    Condition3
...

Table 13 from DB2:

...
{ 5055; ;No. of Opportunities;Integer;FieldClass=FlowField
                                      CalcFormula=bla bla bla WHERE Condition1, Condition2, Condition3
...

Notice the difference after the WHERE clause in the calcformula. I dont get why there should be changes in here since the user (programmer) does not have any influence on such things. Just as useless as it would be. But it makes the merging of these two versions a little [:(!] bit difficult … Anyone knows the reason for this behavior? Ah … yeah, both the same versions (3.70) and both opened with the same client (3.70.A).

We’ve seen this happen when an object isn’t compiled.

both objects are compiled. The difference is DB1 is my develop database where i do my modifications. DB2 is a database created from a backup from the production database which a partner sent me where he did some changes. Id like to merge that thing now … and i dont get how i could avoid such things …

Will you have the same problem if you do the following test? 1- Open DB1 with your client 3.70A 2- Do a minor mod to table 13 (doc) 3- Recompile and save table 13 4- Export table 13 as text (only table 13) 5- Open DB2 with your client 3.70A 6- Do steps 2, 3 and 4 Please let us know…
