HP ELOQUENCE A.06.00 fixpack 2
Revision: 97-11-06

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

This patch fixes some problems in A.06.00 as distributed on
HP Eloquence media before datecode 71106. This fix is already
included with HP Eloquence media starting with datecode 71106.

This patch includes fixpack 1. Please refer to document README.fp1
for more information.

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.


Fixed problems:
---------------

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
to be more consistent and provide additional features.
Please refer to the document README.utype for more information.

* 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.


Linux platform:

* Switching to 132 columns did not work properly with 70060
and 70092 terminals. (#526)

* Linux terminfo permissions were wrong. Previous HP Eloquence
rpm archives had a minor problem regarding permissions of the
/opt/eloquence6/share/terminfo directory - subdirectories
did not have the 'x' (search) bit set. This caused HP Eloquence
terminal settings be ignored.

To fix this, please log on as root and enter the command below:
chmod 555 /opt/eloquence6/share/terminfo/*

* The Keyboard sequences on the Linux console are not documented.

     ALT + H  - home display
     ALT + L  - lower end display
     ALT + D  - delete line
     ALT + I  - insert line
     ALT + J  - delete to end of screen
     ALT + K  - delete to end of line


Windows platform:

* During debugging, character set mapping for variable contents
was incomplete. This did happen when debugging an application on
a remote system which used a different character set (HP-UX).
Characters besides ASCII were not translated.
