## 3.0 Known Pure Edge ^TM^ Form Bugs 

## 

This list covers the known issues and/or limitations with the DTrade
2 version 2.0 Pure Edge™ forms.

[ISSUE ID: DT2-PE-00001 -]{.smallcaps} **DSP-73 Functional Error
generates an internal PDF Generation Error\
**A PDF generation error is generated if the Industry User submits a
Pure Edge DSP-73 form with "Same as Block 20" selected for Block 22 -
Temporary Foreign End-user where additional pages for the Temporary
Foreign End-user information pre-existed and the data was not first
cleared out. If the additional pages are not deleted first, Pure Edge
does not correctly validate the fields and allows the form to be
submitted.

When the DTC staff attempts to generate the PDF the following message is
displayed:

> *"ValidationException: A minimum of 1_temporaryForeignEndUserList
> object(s) (whose xml name\
> is 'TemporaryForeignEndUser') Are required for class:
> com.wixclique.pdf.pe.schemas.dsp73.version20.DSP73;"*
>
> **Solution:**\
> The Temporary Foreign End-User additional pages must be deleted prior
> to changing the answer in Block 22 to "Same as Block 20".

[ISSUE ID: DT2-PE-00002 -]{.smallcaps} **Extra blank additional pages
when printing PureEdge** **form\
**If the Industry User deletes a page in the middle of a sequence of
additional pages, for example, page 3 of 5, only the data itself is
actually deleted. The actual page, in this instance page 3, is not
removed. It instead will print as a blank form page.

[ISSUE ID: DT2-PE-00003 --]{.smallcaps} **Inability to delete Foreign
Consignee additional pages on DSP-62\
**Industry Users are unable to delete additional pages from the DSP-62,
Block 19 (Foreign Consignee).

When the user selects "Yes" on the delete page confirmation screen, the
application either immediately aborts or a display a similar error
message then aborts:

> *Delete Page: masqform.exe -- Application Error*
>
> *The instruction at "0x00....." referenced memory at "x00000000". The
> memory could not be read.*
>
> *Click on OK to terminate the program.*
>
> **Solution:**\
> The Industry User must first remove the data from all of the fields on
> that additional page prior to deleting the page. This is a known and
> unresolved PureEdge bug.

[ISSUE ID: DT2-PE-00004 -]{.smallcaps} **Ability to bypass required
PureEdge** **form fields\
**Industry Users are able to enter spaces as placeholders into required
form fields, thereby bypassing the form completion rule set. Submissions
containing this type of data input may cause uncertain internal
application behavior.

## 4.0 FAQs and Tips

## This includes application-based workarounds and resolutions that support major functionality.

**Microsoft Vista and Office 2007 documents are not compatible with
DTrade 2.**

**Explanation:**

DTrade 2 is in practice incompatible with the new Microsoft (MS) Office
2007 versions of Word, Excel, and Power Point. All MS attachments must
be saved in either Windows XP or an earlier version. If Industry Users
attach a file created using MS Office 2007, an error will not be
generated when the submission is submitted or received, however, the
application may not be processed by the Directorate.

At this time, DDTC can only accept submissions with attachments created
in MS Office 2007 if the attachments are saved in the prior format.

## 

**Copy and pasting text from MS Word can result in the display of
'unexpected' characters.\
**

**Explanation:**

The copy and paste method use of single and double quotes is not
recommended. The problem relates to a known issue with Microsoft (MS)
Windows "smart characters", where MS substitutes a "curly" quote instead
of a true ASCII symbol. This problem is also common with most Java and
object oriented programming languages.

Industry Users should type these characters directly into text form
fields to avoid the erroneous display of the question mark symbol on the
final PDF license.

\" double quote (must be typed into text field -- form or application)

\' apostrophe (must be typed into text field -- form or application)

Safe special characters that can be utilized via the copy and paste
method are:

. period

, comma

? question mark

! exclamation point

-   dash

\_ underscore

( ) parentheses

: colon

; semicolon

\$ dollar sign

\* asterisk

© copyright symbol

® registered symbol

§ section symbol

@ ampersand

/ \\ forward and back slashes

Ó acute character

Ç French cedille

Special characters that will cause PDF license generation failure,
display incorrectly or in ISO format are:

™ trademark symbol

& ampersand

µ micro

ñ tilde characters

á é acute characters (except ó)

¼ ½ ¾ fractions

{} curly brackets

\[\] square brackets

\<\> greater/less than symbols

£ British pound

\^ circumflex accent or carrot
