COBOL COBOLVAXE01053 VAX Cobol V5.3 for OpenVMS VAX ECO Summary
NOTE: An OpenVMS saveset or PCSI installation file is stored
on the Internet in a self-expanding compressed file.
The name of the compressed file will be kit_name-dcx_vaxexe
for OpenVMS VAX or kit_name-dcx_axpexe for OpenVMS Alpha.
Once the file is copied to your system, it can be expanded
by typing RUN compressed_file. The resultant file will
be the OpenVMS saveset or PCSI installation file which
can be used to install the ECO.

as the ECO Release Notes, COBOLVAXE01053.RELEASE_NOTES.
You must first restore the saveset COBOLVAXE01053.A
and then specify the installation file COBOL053 when

ECO KIT SUMMARY:
An ECO kit exists for VAX Cobol V5.3 on OpenVMS VAX V5.5-2 or higher.
Problems addressed in the COBOLVAXE01053 Kit:
o A runtime problem with RMS Special Registers has been corrected
which would cause an ACCVIO on OPEN or result in incorrect values
for RMS Special Registers.
o An edit has been applied in order to support APPLY DEFERRED-WRITE
for ORGANIZATION SEQUENTIAL at runtime.
Problems addressed in the COBRTLVAXE01053 Kit:
o This ECO kit contains corrections to the VAX Cobol Run-Time Library
which are equivalent to the corrections released with the VAX Cobol
Run-Time Library supplied with OpenVMS VAX V6.2.
o In addition, this ECO also corrects the following problem.
When reading from the process permanent file, SYS$INPUT, in batch,
the EOF is ignored if the ACCEPT statement has both a PROTECTED and a
DEFAULT clause.
INSTALLATION NOTES:
o Set default to a directory of your choice.
o Use the VMS BACKUP Utility to unload the installation files from the
COBRTLVAXE01053.A saveset to your directory. For example,
BACKUP COBRTLVAXE01053.A/SAVE *.*
This command will place four files into your directory.
COBOL053.A;42
COBOL053.B;42
COBOL053.C;42
COBOLVAXE01053.RELEASE_NOTES;11
o Copy the release notes, COBOLVAXE01053.RELEASE_NOTES, to
SYS$HELP. For example,
COPY COBOLVAXE01053.RELEASE_NOTES SYS$HELP
o Install this kit using the VMSINSTAL utility by logging into the
SYSTEM account, and then follow the installation instructions given
in the VAX COBOL Installation Guide which was supplied with VAX COBOL
V5.3. For example,
@SYS$UPDATE:VMSINSTAL COBOL053 [location of the saveset]
The system does not need to be rebooted after this kit is installed.
However, if you have other nodes in your VAXcluster, follow the
instructions in the VAX COBOL installation guide for installing
VAX COBOL on a cluster.
