---------------------------------------------------------------------- ELOQUENCE B.07.10 - patch PE71-0704300 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This patch provides enhancement and/or defect fixes for the eloqcore program as released with Eloquence B.07.10. This patch will be integrated in the Eloquence B.07.10 release. Eloquence B.07.10 must be installed before applying this patch. Severity: PE71-0704300: ENHANCEMENT, BUG FIX Superseded patches: PE71-0602284: BUG FIX PE71-0602100: BUG FIX Note: This branch of eloqcore patches DOES NOT support the new MEMSIZE feature to extend the available variable memory. Please refer to the patch PE71-0704301 for this functionality. Patch PE71-0704300 ------------------ Platforms: All * A SORTORDER configuration option was added to eloq.config and the user/group specific configuration files. SORTORDER may be used to specify the sort order that is used for string comparisons performed by the SORT BY statement and the LEX function. If SORTORDER is not defined, an OS specific collating sequence is used as defined by the LANG, LC_COLLATE or ELOQLANG environment variables. This is backwards compatible to previous eloqcore versions. If SORTORDER is present it specifies an Eloquence specific collating sequence. Syntax: SORTORDER spec spec - The collating sequence is defined as a language specifier and either a "fold" or "nofold" modifier separated by a @ character, such as "french@nofold". A "fold" sort order interleaves upper- and lowercase characters, such as AaBbCc...Zz, where a "nofold" sort order separates upper- and lowercase characters, such as "ABC...Z abc...z". On HP-UX and Linux the available collating sequences are installed in the /opt/eloquence6/lib/nls/collate directory. On Windows they are installed in the lib/nls/collate subdirectory below the Eloquence installation directory. * This patch incorporates the database client library B.07.10.09. This database client library version fixes problems related to database caching. This library also changes the DBFIND behavior to reset the current record number. For details please refer to patch PE71-0704100. * Handle segment total overflow more gracefully (#2960) A program that exceeds the limit of the backwards compatible program format may fail to load. This change attempts to work around the problem. For new programs it is recommended to use the newer program file format introduced with A.06.00. * SYSID$ could return garbage when the hostname exceeded 20 characters (#3069). Eloquence was improperly terminating the string when the hostname was truncatedto 20 characters. Platforms: HP-UX and Linux * The EQ_SHELL environment variable may be used to specify the shell that is used by the non-interactive COMMAND "!..." statement to process system commands (#3355). By default the /bin/sh shell is used. * The IDLOK terminal option is enabled by default. It was initially disabled to workaround a problem in the HP-UX xcurses library. The EQ_USE_IDLOK environment variable may be used to specify the use of the idlok terminal option. A zero value disables use, a non-zero value enables this option. Platforms: Windows * The keyboard mapping was incomplete (#2913). The following keys and key combinations are now correctly handled: Alt+L - move to end of display Alt+S - halt / single step (also Shift+F1) Alt+G - advanced step (also Shift+F2) PAUSE - equivalent to Alt+S (halt / single step) also in combination with Shift and/or Alt Ctrl+PAUSE - equivalent to Ctrl+Y (suspend program execution) * Some special keys were not correctly handled and caused eloqcore to abort unexpectedly (#3065). * Changed the Windows file version to "7.1.0.16" Patch PE71-0602284 ------------------ Platforms: Windows * A WAIT or SLEEP statement on Windows could cause the next DLG DO to return a rule value of -32768 (#3033). * Changed the Windows file version to "7.1.0.8" Patch PE71-0602100 ------------------ Platforms: All * When caching is enabled a status code -809:225 could be returned on a database request. This patch incorporates database client library B.07.10.03 that fixes this problem. For details please refer to patch PE71-0602090 Workaround: To workaround this problem the EQ_DBACHE environment variable may be set to disable the use of caching: EQ_DBCACHE=0 * Changed the Windows file version to "7.1.0.7" Installation: ------------- Please download the patch archive that corresponds with the installed release.
