We wouldn't let Violaine go. Now everybody on the CODE/VARPG team has dropped from exhaustion and gone on vacation ;-) The PTFs were approved last Thursday. I gave the web designer the info yesterday to put on the web site. The page is on our review server and will be released shortly. Here is a cut and paste of the info from the internal web site. IBM VisualAge RPG and CODE/400 VisualAge RPG and CODE/400 V3R2M2 Service Pack 002 Note: If you choose not to download the service pack but rather, would like to order it through IBM support, please refer to the following PTF numbers: PTF - SF57934 (mandatory - base fixes) and PTF - SF57900 (for CODE/400 fixes only) PTF - SF57876 (for VARPG fixes only) Fixes and Updates Included in Service Pack 002 CODE/400 Fixes What's Fixed in VisualAge RPG What's New in VisualAge RPG CODE/400 FIXES The following CODE/400 fixes are included in this service pack: Communications Performance without STRCODE This Service pack includes performance improvements for communications without the STRCODE command. You MUST install the appropriate AS/400 PTF. For the PTF numbers, refer to the CODE/400 AS/400 PTF web site. CODESRV The NOTAG option has been fixed for the CODESRV PUT command. CODE Designer The CODE Designer has been enabled for use without the STRCODE command. CODE Debugger Fixes have been added for DBCS enablement of the CODE debugger. You MUST install the appropriate AS/400 PTF. For the PTF numbers, refer to the CODE/400 AS/400 PTF web site. CODE Editor While editing an HTML file, you can select the Launch browser menu item from the Actions menu to invoke a web browser on the file. The INDENT option for RPG files now correctly handles the ELSE and END statements of a CAS group. The FIELDS macro has been fixed to work when the editor is invoked from the icon or from the command line. This problem only occurred on Windows NT. [ Back to Fixes List ] What?s Fixed in VisualAge RPG The following problems have been fixed in Service Pack 002: Fixed a problem where the string 'text' in a filename would cause AS/400 information dialog to fail. Changed the runtime behavior when the sign on dialog is canceled. If the sign on is canceled during an implicit file open, the *PSSR is called, if it exists. Otherwise, the default RPG handler is invoked. For explicit file opens, if an error indicator or error extender is present, it is set. Otherwise the default RPG handler is invoked. This behavior also applies to Java applications. Fixed the problem where field names were corrupted when using a VIEW in the Define Reference fields function. Fixed the problem where the PAGEEND event was being erroneously issued when a record was in open edit mode and the up/down keys were pressed. Fixed the problem where a project could not be saved to a LAN drive if the user had only partial write authority to the drive. Fixed the problem where the GUI Designer would close when saving a message in the Define Messages dialog. DBCS: Added translation tables required when using workstations without Client Access installed. Fixed the problem where an erroneous PAGEEND event was signaled adding a record to a subfile. Fixed the problem where the Tips & Techniques link from the Help menu goes to wrong VARPG web page. Fixed the problem where the READC operation code for a subfile did not detect the change in a 1-digit numeric field. Fixed the problem where the compile would fail if referenced bit maps or icon file names had embedded blanks. Fixed the problem where the program would abend using an ActiveX part to insert Excel Workbook. Fixed the problem where the RGB value for certain colours was not returned correctly for a GETATR. Fixed the problem where the Close button on the Package progress dialog was being ignored. Fixed the problem where leading blanks were being removed from subfile fields causing data alignment problems. Leading blanks are no longer removed. Fixed the problem where in certain cases the GUI Designer would crash when attempting to use Database Reference to create entry fields on NotebookPage without Canvas. Fixed the problem where two Click events were being signaled with a single click on the Canvas part. Fixed the problem where application package would in some cases copy files to the wrong diskette causing the install to fail. The following fixes are applicable for programs created using the Java build option: Fixed the problem where message '9998 Internal failure occured' was being issued setting the ATTRVALUE attribute for a component reference part. Also fixed the problem where the VISIBLE attribute for the component reference part was being ignored. Fixed the problem where the %CHARACTER event attribute was not returning the correct value for the VKEYPRESS event. Fixed the problem where using the CLSWIN attribute on a window would end the application. Fixed the problem where button labels using the caret (^) symbol to indicate a message label, were being displayed with a question mark (?). Fixed the problem the image on a Canvas part was not being displayed when the program was being run as an applet. Fixed the problem where the VISIBLE attribute for the ODBC part was being ignored at runtime. Fixed the problem the shortcut key was being captured as data when pressed in an entry field. Fixed problems with the READE operation code. Added a fix to improve runtime performance accessing AS/400 data files. Added DBCS support Fixed the problem where the 'Open Immediately' check box in the Window settings notebook was being ignored at runtime. DBCS: Fixed the problem the runtime error message dialog contents were unreadable. Fixed the problem where cursor would not move to correct position after executing a VKeyPress action subroutine. The JDBC/ODBC Interface is now functional. Prior to this fix, the JDBC/ODBC interface part could not be used. If you are creating a Java application that uses the JDBC/ODBC interface part, the end user (the user running the application) must install the varpgjdb.jar file on their workstation and add the file to their CLASSPATH since the Packaging utility does not include this file. The varpgjdb.jar file can be found in the \ADTSWIN\JAVA directory. [ Back to Fixes List ] What?s New in VisualAge RPG The following enhancements have been included in Service Pack 002: Support for Printing Windows and Images A new attribute, PRINT, has been added to the Window and Image part to allow printing of the window's client area or the image. This attribute is settable only and requires a string value. The string is used as the print job name, and title. When this attribute is set, the common print dialog is displayed allowing the user to choose the printer and setup options. Enabled and Visible Attributes for Notebook Pages By setting the VISIBLE attribute of the Notebook page part, you can determine, at runtime, which pages should appear in a notebook. By setting the ENABLED attribute to 0 for a notebook page part, you can prevent the user from selecting the page. Transparency Background for Static Text Part Prior to this change, when a static text part was placed on a canvas with an image, the static text part was always surrounded by a solid rectangle. By the clearing the 'Fill Background' check box in the Style page of the settings notebook of the static text part, the rectangle surrounding the text now becomes transparent allowing the image to show through. New *ACTION value for STYLE Keyword The*ACTION message style is now supported by the STYLE keyword to complement the same style provided in the GUI designer. The *ACTION style supports the following BUTTON combinations: OK OK, Cancel Retry, Cancel Yes, No Yes, No, Cancel Abort, Retry, Ignore Secure Socket Layer (SSL) Support for Java Applications SSL support provides security for your data over the internet by providing data encryption and decryption. See the Secure Sockets Layer section in the online Help found in service pack 002 for more details. Ability to use the VARPG Security file for Java Applets The VARPG security file, containg the user ID and password, can now be used for Java applets generated by VARPG. This eliminates the need for the end user to log on to the applet each time it is started. See the Security File section in the online Help found in service pack 002 for more details. Graphic Data Type Java Programs The Graphic Data type is now supported for Java programs. See the RPG Considerations section for restrictions. To test Java applets, that use the graphic data type, in the GUI designer, the varpg.jar and varpgdbc.jar files must be in the CLASSPATH. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Edmund Reinhardt, AS/400 AD Tools, reinhard@ca.ibm.com Dept 607, IBM Canada Lab TL 778-4392 Phone 448-4392 Dave Mahadevan <mahadevan@fuse.net> on 08/10/99 09:34:29 PM Please respond to code400-l@borzak.com To: code400-l@borzak.com cc: Subject: Re: Code TCPIP portsreinhard@ca.ibm.com wrote: > Violaine is away on vacation and she is the one who would know the > answer to > your question.
