HP ELOQUENCE A.06.10 - patch 9807090

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

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 patches supersedes patches PE61-9805141, PE61-9806100,
PE61-9806150, PE61-9806291 (beta) and PE61-9807030 (beta).


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

Platforms: All

* eloqcore fails with an internal error in the FIND or SORT statement. 
  Assertion failed: (pwf->item[0] < iset->s.item_cnt), file sort.c line 1594. 

  This was caused by a wrong assert which could fail when the first set 
  in thread is a detail set.


Patch PE61-9807030
------------------

Platforms: Linux

* The eloqcore behaviour on files opened in UPDATE mode was 
  inconsistent with the HP-UX platform.
  
  When re-reading data from a file opened in UPDATE mode without
  previous locking, the data could be fetched from a buffer 
  rather than re-read from the file. On HP-UX the file is re-read.


Patch PE61-9806291
------------------

Platforms: All

* eloqcore fails with an internal error in the FIND or SORT statement. 
  Assertion failed: (i < bmap_iset->s.item_cnt), file sort.c line 2761. 

  This was caused by a defect in the find1() function (which is used 
  by FIND and SORT) with the new A.06.10 scan db API which fails when
  the first set in thread is a master set and master and detail sets 
  use different items. 
                   
* eloqcore fails with an internal error in the FIND or SORT statement. 
  Assertion failed: (i < bmap_iset->s.item_cnt), file sort.c line 2551. 

  This was caused by a defect in the bmap_item_ofs() function (which 
  is used by FIND and SORT) which could calculate the wrong offset 
  into scan result buffer when a data set contained arrays. 

* eloqcore could fail with an internal error in the SORT statement 
  when duplicate sort variables were used. For example: SORT BY A,B,B 


Patch PE61-9806150
------------------

Platforms: All

* The FIND statement is aborting with an internal error.
  Assertion failed: tmp_recno == recno_buf_wptr[j], file sort.c, line 2182


Patch PE61-9806100
------------------

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 PE61-9805130
------------------

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.
