It's called "failure to trim replies". It recognizes its own footer

in a quote, and considers that and anything below it to be waste.

So this is being called before the afterInit() of the bizobj has run?

Can you change getDataTypeForField() to the code below, and let me

know what it prints out?

def getDataTypeForField(self, fld):

"""Given a field name, returns its Python type, or None if no

DataStructure information is available.

"""

lp = dabo.dBug.logPoint()

print "\n%s" % lp

print "VF KEYS: %s", str(self.VirtualFields.keys())

if fld in self.VirtualFields:

return type(self.getFieldVal(fld))

ds = self.getDataStructure()

if not ds:

return None

try:

fldInfo = [rec[1] for rec in ds

if rec[0] == fld][0]

except IndexError:

raise ValueError, _("Field '%s' does not exist in the

DataStructure") % fld

return dabo.db.getPythonType(fldInfo)
