DECforms FORMSVVME0422 DECforms V2.2 OpenVMS VAX ECO Summary

TITLE: DECforms FORMSVVME0422 DECforms V2.2 OpenVMS VAX 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. Copyright (c) Compaq Computer Corporation 1998, 1999. All rights reserved. Modification Date: 2-AUG-99 Modification Type: Updated Kit Supersedes FORMSVVME0322 PRODUCT: DECforms for OpenVMS COMPONENTS: FORMS$CIOSHR.EXE FORMS$MANAGER.EXE FORMS$MGRDDIFSHR.EXE FORMS$MGRXMSHR.EXE FORMS$MSGMGRSHR.EXE FORMS$MSGMGRSHR_HEBREW.EXE FORMS$PORTABLE_API.EXE FORMS$RT_IVP.EXE FORMS$SDA.EXE OP/SYS: OpenVMS VAX SOURCE: Compaq Computer Corporation ECO INFORMATION: ECO Kit Name: FORMSVVME0422 ECO Kits Superseded by This ECO Kit: FORMSVVME0322 FORMSVVME0222 FORMSVVME0122 ECO Kit Approximate Size: 2340 Blocks Kit Applies To: DECforms V2.2 OpenVMS VAX V6.2 - V7.2 System/Cluster Reboot Necessary: No Rolling Re-boot Supported: N/A Installation Rating: INSTALL_UNKNOWN NOTE: This ECO kit will revise DECforms from V2.2, V2.2-1, V2.2-2, or V2.2-3 to V2.2-4. Kit Dependencies: The following remedial kit(s) must be installed BEFORE installation of this kit: None In order to receive all the corrections listed in this kit, the following remedial kits should also be installed: None ECO KIT SUMMARY: An ECO kit exists for DECforms V2.2 on OpenVMS VAX V6.2 through V7.2 This kit addresses the following problems: Problems Addressed in the FORMSVVME0422 Kit: o Eliminates the potential for a loop when DECforms is used without ACMS. When an IFDL REFRESH Response Step is interrupted by an asynchronous SEND request, a loop can result that prevents both the REFRESH and the asynchronous SEND from completing normally. Problems Addressed in the FORMSVVME0322 Kit: o Corrects the situation which led to the following error messages always being displayed in an ACMS SWL file: %ACMSTU-I-RECEVT, Log Event -FORMS-F-FATINTERR, fatal Internal Error. -FORMS-F-INTDATCOR, internal data corrupted at 10 in FORMS_WMG_OPEN_DISPLAY -FORMS-F-MGRCIOBASE, FORMS$MANAGER base = xxxxxxxx, FORMS$CIOSHR base = xxxxxxxx -LIB-F-BADBLOADR, bad block address Once the problem occurred, all subsequent ACMS logins would be rejected. o Corrects a bug reported in the Y2K "sliding window" functionality seen when the IFDL statement "Output Picture For Date" is used. o Corrects a resource de-allocation problem in an ACMS environment. The ACMS TSC process was not releasing it's device channel because DECforms had not executed its cleanup code. To ACMS, it appeared as if a user was still logged on. o Corrects a "hang" condition in the DECforms window manager code triggered when ACMS users disconnected from a LAT session and deleted the device they were using. o Modifies the handling of date input to allow for interpretation of two digit years inside a specified "sliding date window".

INSTALLATION NOTES: The ECO4 (FORMSVVME0422) saveset contains an updated DECforms V2.2 run-time system with the release notes replaced by this file (FORMS022_E04_README1ST.TXT). Installing ECO4 will perform a complete replacement installation of all DECforms run-time components. To install ECO4 invoke the VMSINSTAL command procedure, as outlined in Chapter 3 of the OpenVMS System Manager's Manual, and follow the instructions in the DECforms Installation Guide for OpenVMS Systems. ECO4 assumes that DECforms V2.2 has previously been installed on the OpenVMS system. Correct operation of DECforms cannot be guaranteed unless this ECO is installed over DECforms V2.2. Installing this ECO over any other version of DECforms is not supported and will result in unpredictable behavior. ECO4 can be installed over ECO1, ECO2, and ECO3, and the installation of ECO1, ECO2, or ECO3 is not a pre-requisite to install ECO4.
