Weird VarChar field udpate behavior

[jda]

Hi Ruslan,

I have a routine that changes the case of the text in a field (e.g. 
ruslan to RUSLAN). This works fine for an indexed VText field (where 
s = "RUSLAN"):

         myCursor.Field(fldName).setString(s)
         myCursor.updateRecord  //ruslan -> RUSLAN

However, it does NOT work for an indexed VarChar field -- the text is 
*not* updated:

         myCursor.Field(fldName).setString(s)
         myCursor.updateRecord  // ruslan -> ruslan

I can *force* it to udpate by doing this:

         myCursor.Field(fldNames).setString("")
         myCursor.updateRecord
         myCursor.Field(fldNames).setString(s)
         myCursor.updateRecord

Looks like there may be an optimization in Valentina's code that 
mistakenly ignores case when updating VarChar fields (but not VText 
fields).
