Latest release
What changed in the latest release
Fixes
- Fixed an issue where row selection was lost after canceling the edit dialog, leaving the Edit, Copy, and Delete actions unavailable for an already-selected row.
- Fixed an issue where searching for InfoObjects with character data type and alpha conversion produced a system error.
- Fixed an issue where editing rows in tables with hidden key fields could clear values of non-key fields configured with "keep target value".
- Fixed an issue where exporting to Excel included additional text columns even when those columns were not displayed in the table.
- Fixed an issue where copying a row did not apply backend default values, so the new row kept the original copied values instead of the calculated defaults.
- Fixed an issue where saving data failed in tables containing an InfoObject whose output length was shorter than its technical length.

Everything before 11.2.1
31 earlier releases, grouped by major version.

- Fixed an issue where calendar month texts could not be displayed depending on user date format settings.

- NetWeaver 7.51 and later: Incoming messages are limited to 100 MB (this limit is configurable via profile parameter); there is no size limit for outgoing messages. Messages sent via system-wide access (i.e. using the connection attach handle) or AMC are limited to 1 MB.
