e***** IT companies.
The example I gave above was very simplified and the file name included letters, numbers and symbols that increased at different rates.
As a favour to the project team I spent some time decoding the file names to decimal numbers for loops and then re-encoding the decimal numbers back to names. We put test batches through last week and they worked quickly and flawlessly.
Another set of test batches today and they are not working.
Call the help desk. The file name format changed over the weekend and they told their customers a year ago via a service bulletin!
We weren’t a customer for this product a year ago we were using the specifications document you issued as being up to date at the start of this project in January!
Are there any other surprises! I feel a project manager needs to sit down with the vendor to sort this!
I’m spitting feathers as I didn’t have the time to do the favour in the first place!
