HP ELOQUENCE A.06.10 - patch 9806100

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

This patch fixes a defect of the eloqcore program as released 
with A.06.10. This patch will be integrated in a subsequent  
HP Eloquence release.
You should have installed A.06.10 before applying this patch (it 
should work with previous A.06.xx releases as well, however this 
has not been verified).

This patch requires installation of patch PE61-9805142.
This patch supersedes patch PE61-9805141 on the HP-UX and Linux
platform.


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

Platforms: HP-UX, Linux

* A timed SLEEP statement could hang when used in UNIX background.


Patch PE61-9805141
------------------

Platforms: All

* The FIND statement is aborting with an internal error.
  Assertion failed: tmp_recno == recno_buf_ptr[j], file sort.c, line 2172

  This was caused by a defect in eloqdb6 in the internal idb_scan_rec()
  API function which returns inconsistent data to eloqcore causing
  an internal error in find2().

* SORT BY with multiple tables could fail with an internal error.
  Assertion failed: ofs == no_bytes, file sort.c, line 2553

  This was caused by a defect in eloqcore in the do_sort() function.
  Depending on the number of sets in thread and the number of sets
  which are actually used in SORT BY, the internal offset into
  the sort buffer was wrong.


Patch PEQ61-9805130
-------------------

Platforms: All

* Wrong handling of TYPE scope rules. This was caused by a flaw in 
  the build process.

* TYPES definitions in a subroutine/function are processed before 
  COM/DIM statements.  Previously only during pre-processing of the 
  main program segement, TYPE definitions were processed before 
  COM/DIM statements. 
  This change should have no side effects on existing software.
