Error description
There exists a built in DXL Library sample script 'Convert Symbol characters to Unicode' which converts Symbol characters in string values and text values to equivalent Unicode characters. However, if the Attribute which would be modified also contains OLE(s) in it, then running the script deletes all OLEs present in the Attributes. Steps to reproduce: -------------------- 1.? Have text in Object Text or any other Text type attribute which contains symbols that would be modified when the 'Convert Symbol characters to Unicode' script is run AND add either one or more OLEs in it. They can be of any type. You can use the attached Module archive for testing. 2.? Click on Tools ? DXL Library ? 'Convert Symbol characters to Unicode' run. 3.? You would notice that when the script is run, the OLE(s) are deleted from the Attribute(s)
