Known problems fixed with A.05.01

The following known problems have been fixed with Eloquence A.05.01:

MFORM.PROG

Editing a form with more than 128 lines in MFORM could cause all virtual memory used up by Eloquence. This usually caused a core dump and could even affect other applications.

DISABLE

Returning from a SUB or function caused a DISABLE condition ignored, if a pending ON INPUT interrupt request has been encountered for the parent environment while executing the subprogram.

core dump after ERROR 8

Calling a function or subprogram with improper arguments could cause a core dump (assertion failed: ssp->ofs < seg->symsz). If interrupted at a specific stage, the wrong symbol table became restored.

DBINFO 202 failed on remote database

DBINFO mode 202 on a remote database failed when executed on a database other than the first opened one.

CRTCOLS caused core dump

CRTCOLS= terminates curses subsystem in order to re-program the terminal hardware. When a dialog window was active and curses becomes restarted all windows must be re-created. This could cause a core dump.

refresh caused dialog to disappear

This was caused by a bug in the dialog refresh routine. When only one dialog window was active, the dialog may become destroyed by screen refresh.

POPUP BOX

When a POPUP BOX is executed with Dialog Manager the following problems have been encountered:

dbstore/dbrestore

The default d.dbstore and d.dbrestore script files did not work.

schema

Schema aborted with core dump when a duplicate automatic data set name occured in schema description.

ELOQDB.DLL
