Problem Windows implementations of BinaryPageGenerator and ASP Scripting stopped functioning using Plex 5.5 SP1.
Answer With Plex 5.5 SP1 CA decided to change the behavior of character fields in Plex in order to fix a problem with fixed decimal fields.

Unfortunately this had a side effect removing the functionality of storing binary data in Plex character fields.

The problem with binary data is that it might consist of a null (x00) byte which is also used to signal end of string in other implementations.

Workaround Please contact Websydian support at support@websydian.com for information on how to overcome this problem.

This problem will be solved with the Websydian 5.6 release, which is scheduled to be released primo December 2005.
