HP ELOQUENCE A.06.00 fixpack 3
Revision: 97-11-25

----------------------------------------------------------------------

This patch fixes some problems in A.06.00 as distributed on
HP Eloquence media before datecode 71125. This fix is already
included with HP Eloquence media starting with datecode 71125.

This patch includes the previous fixpacks 1 and 2.

For more information about HP Eloquence media datecode, please
refer to document http://www.hp-eloquence.com/support/datecode.html

The files in this patch set should replace the files originally
distributed with HP Eloquence A.06.00.


Problems fixed with fixpack3:
-----------------------------

Platforms: HP-UX, Linux, Windows

* dbpurge could cause eloqdb6 server panic in checkpoint operation.
  (#593)

* Problem in eloqdb6 server can cause index corruption. (#592)

* The DBROLLBACK statement did not work correctly. (#591)

* DBLOCK in odd mode (blocking on request) may return status
  although lock has been granted sucessfully. (#576)

* SEND SIGNAL # does not work correctly. The given task number is
  internally decreased by one, so either the wrong task is signaled
  or an error 401 is returned. (#572)

* A problem with the DLG LOAD (character oriented) has been resolved.
  After a previous format error has been detected, a subsequent
  DLG LOAD could fail.

* The eloqdb6 http status display has been enhanced.

* The dbvolchange utility failed with "invalid range" when a maximum
  volume size should be set.

* The dbvoldump utility has been enhanced to provide a volume
  overview when the server is not active.


Problems fixed with fixpack2:
-----------------------------

Platforms: HP-UX, Linux, Windows

* Referencing a struct member in a BREAK ON condition did result
in an internal failure on BEGIN REPORT. (#496)

* The message returned by DBEXPLAIN$ contained square brackets
which maked usage with POPUP BOX inconvenient. DBEXPLAIN$ result
format has been changed. (#555)

* The behaviour of user defined types has been changed slightly.
Please see the README.utype for details.

* dberase could result in an eloqdb6 server panic. When erasing
a database partially, it may be necessary to reset detail/master
dataset linkage information. For example when erasing a detail
set, all linked masters must be updated. This could result in a
eloqdb6 server panic. (#556)

* dberase did suspend concurrent database operations. When erasing
a database partially, it may be necessary to reset detail/master
dataset linkage information. Due to the non-peemptive thread
scheduling in the eloqdb6 server this caused concurrent database
operations to be postponed until the dberase operation was
finished. (#557)

* DATE "DD.MM.YY" in HP Eloquence config file(s) resulted in
"%d/%m/%y" format - wrong separators. (#538)

* XPACK and XUNPACK ... USING were depending on space dependend
mode (SI/SD). (#479)

* An interoperability problem between the HP Eloquence IDE and the
eloqsd server has been solved. Debugging a program file where the
file name contained characters ather than ASCII could fail.


Problems fixed with fixpack1:
-----------------------------

Platforms: HP-UX, Linux, Windows

* Using structure members could result in an internal
failure and program abort.

* QFIND on a master data set resulted in a core dump.

* A new error message 905 ("No such member") has been added.
This will distinguish referencing an undeclared member variable
from a undefined type. Previously both conditions resulted in a
runtime error 900.

* The database server could fail to keep track of user licenses
so connections could be rejected with an error message ("No license
slot available").

* The database server had a problem with dbpurge. While the
database was removed, the entry in the sysdb table (server catalog)
was not updated properly so a database with the same name could not
be created again.

* DBGET mode 6 could result in a database server panic.
("Assertion failed: data.size == sizeof(recno_t)")

* schema now enforces the minimum record length correctly
The HP Eloquence A.06.00 database requires a minimum record
length of 4 bytes.
