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.

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.
