Fixing Compatibility Between HCL Notes 12 and Notes 9 Regarding the GetDocumentByKey Method

Problem Description:

When I compile an application in Notes 12 that uses the following code:

Dim aKey(1 To 2) As String

aKey(1) = "ABC"

aKey(2) = "123"

Set doc = view.GetDocumentByKey(aKey)

The HCL Notes 12 client works correctly and finds the document, but the Lotus Notes 9 client does not find the document.

Solution:

I found a solution that works correctly in both LN9 and N12:

Set doc = view.GetDocumentByKey(Split(Join(aKey, "|"), "|"))

This approach is interpreted correctly by both versions.

Compile on: HCL Notes 12.0.2 FP4

    Are you using a 64-bit 12.0.2 client? If so, that sounds very similar to a number of 64-bit related bugs having to do with LotusScript arrays. For example, https://support.hcl-software.com/csm?id=kb_article&sysparm_article=KB0102291 and https://support.hcl-software.com/csm?id=kb_article&sysparm_article=KB0109692

    If you are using a 64-bit 12.0.2 client, you should consider opening a ticket with HCL about this. Unfortunately, with some of these bugs HCL decided to fix them by requiring you to update your 32-bit client instead of fixing the problem in the 64-bit client compiler. Which means it's possible that the only way it will work on a Notes 9 client is to always compile the LotusScript code on Notes 9 (or any 32-bit client).
