ECO KIT SUMMARY:
An ECO kit exists for DECforms V2.1 on OpenVMS Alpha V6.1 or higher.
This kit addresses the following problems:
Problems addressed in the FORMSAECO01021 Kit:
o Problem loading a form created using the Alpha DECforms V1.4(C/D)
translator /NOMEMBER_ALIGNMENT switch.
These old style form's records were treated as naturally aligned
even though the /NOMEMBER_ALIGNMENT switch was specified when
they were translated.
o Form load problem causes a hang condition due to an infinite loop.
When multiple extracted form objects are linked into an image and
they had been extracted using an older version of DECforms prior
to DECforms V2.1, a hang condition may occur. If tracing was
enabled, the trace file would end with the message:
"Converting an old style form object to latest format"
o "Session Not Found" errors and possible PEU call argument errors
resulting in a fatal exception.
These errors are a result of a form object conversion error where
call argument alignment size calculations were performed
incorrectly. This problem typically occurs on OpenVMS VAX but
could occur using VESTed images on OpenVMS Alpha.
INSTALLATION NOTES:
The system/cluster does not need to be rebooted after this kit is
installed. However, if ACMS is running on your system, you will have to
shut it down before installing this ECO. After the installation is
complete, restart ACMS and restart the ACMS application so that the new
FORMS$CIOSHR image will be used.
