I think the features were added to 7.2 base...but PTF'd back to 7.1.

So they count as "new" in 7.2.

The following link details the new features:

The third new feature listed is: An RDB alias can be specified directly in
an SQL statement using a three-part name

However I am confused. That doesn't appear to be a new feature.

We are on 7.1 and after doing STRSQL, and doing a select * from
RDBEntry.Libraryname.FileName it works just fine using a three-part name.

Also they list this: Allow period separator for qualification of objects
in system naming. What does this new feature mean exactly?

Can anyone shed some light here on these two questions?
