OpenVMS VAXBASR01_062 VAX V6.2 BASIC Run-Time Library ECO Summary

TITLE: OpenVMS VAXBASR01_062 VAX V6.2 BASIC Run-Time Library ECO Summary Modification Date: 18-MAY-1999 Modification Type: New Kit 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. Copyright (c) Compaq Computer Corporation 1999. All rights reserved. OP/SYS: OpenVMS VAX COMPONENT: BASIC RTL SOURCE: Compaq Computer Corporation ECO INFORMATION: ECO Kit Name: VAXBASR01_062 ECO Kits Superseded by This ECO Kit: None ECO Kit Approximate Size: 306 Blocks Kit Applies To: OpenVMS VAX V6.2 System/Cluster Reboot Necessary: No Rolling Re-boot Supported: Not Applicable Installation Rating: INSTALL_3 3 - To be installed on all systems running the listed versions of OpenVMS which are experiencing the problems described. Kit Dependencies: The following remedial kit(s) must be installed BEFORE installation of this kit: None In order to receive all the corrections listed in this kit, the following remedial kits should also be installed: None ECO KIT SUMMARY: An ECO kit exists for the BASIC RTL on OpenVMS VAX V6.2. This kit addresses the following problems: o An indexed file open failed and it could include loss of memory. o No error occurred for strings with characters having the high bit on. Some examples are: PRINT INTEGER("123") PRINT INTEGER("éä") PRINT INTEGER ("efg") In the above example, only the first line will not result in an error. This first PRINT command converts the characters (number 123) into the integer 123. The third PRINT gives the following error because the characters do not look like a number: %BAS-F-ILLNUM, Illegal number -BAS-I-FROMOD, In module NONAME Finally, the second PRINT should also give the above error, with the result being the integer 2030. o A BASIC output routine, when run in BATCH, does not properly account for international characters (high-bit-on), which causes a variety of strange output, depending on how many such characters are being printed. For a short example, if the command PRINT STRING$(999%,ASCII("é")) is run in batch (BASIC V3.4), the error "%BAS-F-MEMMANVIO, Memory management violation" occurs. o The BASIC function DATE$() formats the year as only two digits. INSTALLATION NOTES: The system does not need to be rebooted after this kit is installed. However, if the system is a member of a VMScluster, the other cluster members should be rebooted or this kit should be installed on each system in order to make use of the new image(s).
