Update 5.1.2.4 now available -- WDSCI-L

Hi All,

The WDSc 5.1.2.4 update is now available via update manager (Help > 
Software Update > New Updates in the workbench) and will be available for 
download from the website within the next few days.  Here is a list of the 
fixes:

iSeries Web development tools
List of fixes
1.      APAR - SE17663: 
Support Apache Tomcat v4.1 with JDK 1.4. 
2.      Field values are not restored from session variables after message 
control displays a message. This can occur if the input page is the same 
as the output page. 
3.      The Web interaction wizard ignores the usage type of a program 
parameter if it is a structure. 
4.      Enhance the Table Web component to allow styles to be applied to 
individual columns. 
5.      Page up/down of a subfile does not work if the subfile mode is 
write a page at a time and the subfile has editable fields such as a text 
entry. 
6.      When the "Use Java Bean" option is selected in the Web interaction 
wizard, changing bean methods and/or properties results in an exception in 
the wizard, and/or changes are not saved. 
7.      When a code generation template has been customized by the user, 
iSeries Web tools migration cannot determine if the customized template is 
an old version of the template, or the latest one available. Migration 
will always result in a warning code associated with the modified 
template. 
8.      APAR - SE18348: 
When a field is modified in the subfile, the corresponding record in the 
subfile user space may not get updated. 
If a table has a select column, in-line cell styles are not applied to the 
last column. 
The subfile is refreshed even though there is no change to any records. 
Simply tabbing from field to field can cause the subfile to refresh many 
times unnecessarily. 
Paging causes previously selected records to lose their selection when the 
subfile is in the page as requested mode. 
Text entries and text areas in a subfile always have trailing spaces that 
fill up the entire field. This makes it difficult for the user to edit  
those fields. The trailing spaces must be manually deleted every time.  
Paging, selecting records, and editing the subfile can cause intermittent 
exceptions. 
Subfile gets MCH0601 after a large number of records is written to it. The 
number of records that actually cause this exception depends on the length 
of the record also.  Records that are very long can trigger this exception 
after a small number of records is written to the subfile. 

iSeries Java development tools
List of fixes
1.      The program call wizard ignores the usage type of a program 
parameter if it is a structure and incorrect code is generated. Existing 
programs that previously relied on the incorrectly generated code may have 
compile errors after the application of this fix. 

Integrated iSeries debugger
List of fixes
1.      APAR - SE18446: 
The multi-threaded debug launch configuration does not handle parameters 
properly if there is embedded quote or ')'. 

Remote System Explorer
List of fixes
1.      The following ILE RPG editing problem is fixed: Ctrl+M in ILE RPG 
source will no longer 'match' comment lines. 
2.      The following CL parser and prompter problems are fixed:
APAR - SE17233: The CL prompter will no longer incorrectly parse command 
parameters as comments.  For example, the following will be correctly 
tokenized and reformatted such that LIB/*ALL  remains a parameter and is 
not interpreted as a comment, and prompting the command will no longer 
cause the parameter to be dropped: 
DSPOBJ LIB/*ALL OUTFILE(*OUTFILE) OUTFILE(QTEMP/OBJLIST)
APAR SE18053: The CL prompter will now correctly parse a positional 
parameter that is a command type parameter.  For example, the following 
will no longer cause an error message: 
IF &ERRORSW SNDPGMMSG MSGID(CPF9999) MSGF(QCPFMSG) MSGTYPE(*ESCAPE)
APAR SE18732:  The CL parser will no longer incorrectly indent source when 
previous statements contain the text DO enclosed in quotes. 
Specifying positional parameters wrapped in brackets, will no longer cause 
erroneous errors.  For example the following command will no longer 
generate an invalid error when prompted, or syntax checked: 
IF &error (goto endpgm)
Parameter lists specified as positional parameters will no longer 
unnecessarily quote items.  For example, the following will no longer have 
additional quotes added to the parameter list when prompted: 
CALL QUSLFLD ('FLDOO1US  QTEMP' 'FLDL0100' &file &rcdfmt '0')
The following command when prompted or syntax checked, will no longer 
cause message EVFCL0081E to be issued: 
PGM (&file &rcdfmt)
When specifying 'blank' as a parameter value (whether by entering it, or 
when it is provided to the CL prompter as a result of a prompt override 
program), the parameter will no longer appear in the command preview area, 
nor when pressing the Ok button.  For example, prompting the following 
command will no longer cause the EDGESTITCH and SADLSTITCH parameters to 
appear: 
OVRPRTF    FILE(QPDSPSTS) OUTQ(QUSRSYS/BACKUP)
3.      The following ILE RPG program verifier problem is fixed: subfield 
created from LIKEREC on a data structure, where the external record 
contains an indicator, is incorrectly created with the type A instead of 
type N. 
4.      APAR SE17718: If a user right clicked on an iSeries project and 
moved it to a different location on the file system, it would no longer be 
possible to create a new source physical file or member in the project. 
This showed up when a project was shared to a ClearCase VOB in the file 
system. The problem is now fixed. 
5.      APAR SE17501: The Remote Commands view now provides correct output 
for iSeries machines running in the Japanese environment. 
6.      The following ILE COBOL copybook problem is fixed: ILE COBOL 
copybook members are now searched in QLBLSRC in addition to QCBLLESRC 
file. 
7.      The following COBOL outline view problem is fixed: Outline view 
now handles COBOL source that does not contain any COBOL Divisions. 

Thanks.
