I would not expect one.  However, if I can guess at the reason for the inquiry... I believe that unlike service packs for previous releases this should only update the components that you initially installed.  Or in other words, it should not load files on your system for components that you did not install.

Will there be a VARPG/Code only service pack?

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.
  Changes to WebSphere Studio for AS/400
  • Different versions of WAS from Studio for AS/400 are correctly configured.
  • More detailed diagnostic messages from servlets are provided to help developers identify the potential sources of problems.
  • The Web Interaction Wizard allows the user to delete the last and only one field remaining of a program definition.
  • The Web Interaction Wizard properly handles I/O JSP residing in a subfolder.
  • The Web Interaction Wizard settings of both "Invalidate session" and "No host program call" will persist when creating a new web interaction.
    Changes to CODE/400
    • The problem with verifies with caching indicating that the server is busy, or causing the application to hang, has been fixed.
    • The Check PTF function in the Communications window will work for every server.
    • The CODE Project Organizer will not crash when changing anything on the properties page for a file in the file list.
    • In CODE Project Organizer, empty project menus will no longer appear.
    • In CODE Actions, the help button will work on the Import and Export dialogs.
    • In CODE Editor, setting the interactive debug server will work.
    • In CODE Editor, dialogs may be canceled when prompting for the debug server or setting the default debug server.
    • In CODE Editor, the "Code generated successfully" message from the RPG-to-Java Smartguide will appear in the appropriate language.
    • In CODE Editor, the Browse button on the Pre-defined Message page from the D-Specification Smartguide is enabled in the correct situations.
    • In CODE Editor, printouts will have the document name and page number at the top of the page if EXTRAS is enabled.
    • In Program Generator, submitting an interactive compile when an interactive compile is already in progress will not cause the Program Generator to crash.
    • In CODE Designer, using the Design Page to move fields so that they overlap is no longer prevented.
    • In CODE Designer, field conditioning is now shown correctly in the details view.
    • In CODE Designer, the Designer is now started correctly by the Editor.
      
      Kind regards,
