OpenVMS ALPDCL01_062 Alpha V6.2 - V6.2-1H3 DCL 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 DCL on OpenVMS Alpha V6.2 through V6.2-1H3.
This kit addresses the following problems: 

  o  During a terminal hangup condition, the DCL handler would
     close open RMS files prior to image rundown and, consequently,
     prior to execution of any image exit handlers.  This would
     cause a variety of symptoms including execution loops with
     condition handlers and loss of data with language RTLs that
     buffer file data.


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
