Subject: ^M is added to source code when copying and pasting

PRODUCT: All versions of Rose RealTime
OS: SunOS
DEFECT #: 56893, 59888
PATCH #: Fixed in latest patch
REFERENCES:

CREATED: 19-OCT-2001
REVISED: 29-OCT-2001

SYMPTOM:

^M is added to source code when copying and pasting from a SUN workstation.

The ^M is added into the petal files and the code generator also puts these in
the C++ source files.

CAUSE:

Using the SUN special keys 'Copy' 'Paste' and 'Cut' (not Ctrl-C, Ctrl-X,
Ctrl-V) to transfer code from place to place within Rational Rose Real Time.

RESOLUTION:

Applying the latest patch to a Rose RealTime installation will prevent this
problem from reoccurring, but will not remove existing ^M characters from a
model's saved files. If your Rose RealTime version is 6.3.132.0 or later, this
problem is not present. If your version number is below 6.3.132.0, there is a
workaround: use the Ctrl-C, Ctrl-X and Ctrl-V keys instead of the SUN
keyboard's special keys.

In order to remove the ^M from all existing files a script is used. This script
will correct any text files found in the specified directory and below (i.e it
recurses the directory structure.) This script relies on the dos2unix command
to achieve this. (If you do not have dos2unix in your environment, the script
can be altered and "sed" can be used instead.)

====================================
#! /bin/sh

if [ $# != 1 ]
then
printf "This script will remove all ^M's from all plain files,\n"
printf "recursively, starting from the specified directory\n\n"
printf "NOTE: dos2unix must be in your path environment variable\n\n"
printf "Usage: rmCtrl-M <directory>\n\n"
exit
fi

for file in `find $1 -type f -name "*" -print`
do
printf "Converting file $file\n"
`dos2unix $file $file > /dev/null 2>&1`
done
exit
====================================

The recommended procedure is:

1) Build->Clean

2) Check out all model files, if necessary.

3) Run the script on the model storage directories to remove the ^M's from the
petal files.

4) Check in all files, if necessary

5) Apply the latest patches to your Rose RealTime installation, to prevent
reoccurrence of the problem or use the workaround identified above.
