 PE70-0312220: BUX FIX, ENHANCEMENT


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

Platforms: All

* The dbimport utility was modified to output more detailed 
  information on conversion errors.

* The dbimport utility was modified to ignore underflow/overflow 
  conversion failures for IEEE values (#2221).

  values (#2813). A corrupted item value is replaced with a zero 
  value and results in a warning message.

Platforms: HP-UX, Linux

*  The dbexport utility was enhanced to support files sizes beyond
   2 GB (#2537, #2547)

*  The dbimport utility was enhanced to support files sizes beyond
   2 GB (#2537, #2547)


Patch PE70-0312220
------------------

Platforms: All

* dbimport could end up in a loop when trying to import an automatic
  set from a single file export file. Dbimport has been changed to
  skip automatic masters.

* dbimport no longer aborts when a data sets lacks write access.
  A data set without the required write access rights is now skipped 
  and a warning message is output.

* A new -x command line option was added to dbexport and dbimport that 
  allows to specify a list of data sets to be excluded. 
  When the -x option is not present the command line may specify a list 
  of data sets to be processed. With the -x option present, this is
  understood as a list of data sets to be excluded.

* dbimport has been modified on HP-UX and Linux to handle CR/LF as
  a line terminator in a restructure file.
