OpenVMS VAXLIBR02_071 VAX V7.1 LIBRTL ECO Summary

TITLE: OpenVMS VAXLIBR02_071 VAX V7.1 LIBRTL 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. *OpenVMS] VAXLIBR02_071 VAX V7.1 LIBRTL ECO Summary Copyright (c) Digital Equipment Corporation 1998. All rights reserved. Modification Date: 14-Jul-1998 Modification Type: Added Problem Fix to Documentation OP/SYS: OpenVMS VAX COMPONENTs: LIBRTL LIBRTL2 LIBRTL_INSTRUMENTED SOURCE: Digital Equipment Corporation ECO INFORMATION: ECO Kit Name: VAXLIBR02_071 ECO Kits Superseded by This ECO Kit: VAXLIBR01_071 ECO Kit Approximate Size: 1180 Blocks Saveset A - 1170 Blocks Kit Applies To: OpenVMS VAX V7.1 System/Cluster Reboot Necessary: Yes Rolling Re-boot Supported: Yes Installation Rating: 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 LIBRTL on OpenVMS VAX V7.1. This kit addresses the following problems: PROBLEMS ADDRESSED IN VAXLIBR02_071: o The wrong length was returned in the resultant-length field from LIB$GET_FOREIGN in the case that the input string was truncated. LIB$GET_FOREIGN was returning the original length of the string instead of the truncated length. o LIB$CONVERT_DATE_STRING handles 2-digit years from input by selecting the current century as the default to use for the century portion of the date. This behavior may not be desirable for many customers since 00 would be interpreted as 1900 (and then as 2000 on 1/1/2000). Unfortunately, it has been documented since V6.0 and therefore we could not see changing the Y format without disrupting customers who expect this behavior. o LIBRTL bugfix for LIB$CVT_DX_DX. Access violation in LIB$CVT_DX_DX for NBDS to NBDS conversions when the string length is zero. A recent change to LIB$CVT_DX_DX was the cause of the access violation. The string length of zero was not being checked. PROBLEMS ADDRESSED IN VAXLIBR01_071: o LIB$GETJPI returns the wrong privileges when asking for an IMPERSONATE and then a DIAGNOSE. INSTALLATION NOTES: The images in this kit will not take effect until the system is rebooted. If there are other nodes in the VMScluster, they must also be rebooted in order to make use of the new images. If it is not possible or convenient to reboot the entire cluster at this time, a rolling re-boot may be performed.
