V4R5M1 WDT400 Service Pack 1 -- CODE400-L

Hello all,

Service Pack 1 for WDT400 V4R5M1 is now available on the web for download from http://www-4.ibm.com/software/ad/wdt400/support.html SP1 is a self extracting and installing executable, just download and run it to apply SP1.

I recommend that you download and install the SP1.

Note: If you are a WebFacing "early adopter" then you will need to re-run the WebFacing installer _after_ applying SP1.

Here are some of the changes listed in the readme.

Changes to VisualAge(R) RPG

The problem where %Index and %ColNumber of SELECT events from subfile were not correctly set when triggered by using keyboard has been fixed.
The problem where setting the title label of a window will cause the static text parts on a notebook canvas to disappear has been fixed.
A new feature has been added to the graph part: using a ColorArea of 10, the background color of the legend area can be changed.
The GUI designer problem where a Slider part's font if set to something different than the system default cannot be persisted has been fixed.
The GUI designer running on Win2000 can use the new IBM Distributed Debugger.
The VARPG java runtime properly supports Java Extension Mechanism. If the varpg.jar is put into jre\lib\ext then both the generated java applet and java application will work correctly.
The VARPG application installation has changed so that if you install an application onto an older version of the runtime, you will receive an error message indicating that the runtime should be upgraded first before installing the application.
The packaging of a Java application will not mistakenly generate an error message saying there is not enough disk space.
The problem that in some cases SUBDUR incorrectly calculates the difference between two timestamps, when the result is in hours, has been fixed.
The problem of getting incorrect conversion results after moving a time field (format *USA) to a time field (*ISO), when time is between 12:00 am and 12:59 am, has been fixed.
The problem of getting a Host services internal error when running an installed VARPG application, when both the development and run-time environments are installed on the PC, has been fixed.
