7.0.1 and the 64k limit for @functions
According to this
fix, IBM reverted the way the >64k data error is handled.
Unfortunately this will invalidate all code dependant on the 'old' method.
You could in fact lookup more than 64k with a @dblookup or @dbcolumn, as long as it was contained in another formula that reduced the data to less then 64k (@subset for example).
Now in 7.0.1 this code will no longer work, so check your applications before upgrading or wait for the fix :-(

So much for backward compatibility. I'm raising a support note. This means a major re-write for us.... :(

I posted an update about this situation here:
http://www.lotusgeek.com/sapphireoak/lotusgeekblog.nsf/d6plinks/ROLR-6LWM7R
Here's what it says:
I have been in contact with the folks responsible for getting this resolved. They have acknowledged that this is a regression bug introduced in 7.0.1, and they are working on the appropriate timely response and resolution. Look for this response next week. Please pass this along as needed.
Stay tuned.

As always, dont go with the newest stuff. Bugs happens, just wait and see until it's stable-then implement.

I heard they have a fix, but Q&A will take some time I guess :(

I opened another PMR to add some weight to that issue. I ask everybody to do the same if he is affected by this issue.

I received a Hotfix, so other customers may get it as well when opening a PMR. I do not think that there will be an immediate 7.0.1a release.
