Cannot Rename field

I tried to rename a field, because I want it to be associated with an existing field. However this does not work. I can find no restrictions in the reference manual and I don't get an error message either. See code below. Is this a bug or a undocumented feature. : ) (The renaming works when the load sequence is reversed.) Other workarounds are welcome.

SET ErrorMode=1;

Qualify *;

Unqualify 'SID*';

LOAD KEY_SIS_C094,

SID_SIS_RSSTE

FROM

(qvd);

LOAD [SID2_SSS_PLANT_/BIC/SSS_PLANT],

SID_SSS_PLANT,

CHCKFL,

DATAFL,

INCFL

FROM

(qvd);

rename field 'SID_SSS_PLANT' to 'SID_SIS_RSSTE';

Hi guys!

I have the same problem in QV10 SR2 build 8935.7.

I have verified that the problem occurs when I try to rename a field that join with other field e.g. MasterCalendar with field Date that I try to rename in SalesDate and a table Sales with field SalesDate.

I think that is a BUG.

This renaming problems occured to me when I have the renamed field in layout as a linked object accross separate tabs.

I actually unlinked all objects and problem disappears.

Additionally you might get problem that the renamed field isn't renamed in expression in some objects in Container object.

I used the dummy workaround that I keep the original object minimized somewhere hidden, so the link between original and linked object in Container is kept and the renamed field is correctly changed in expression.
