HP Eloquence A.04.04 Release Notes

• Fixed problems
• New features

• SR 1653-077370

  Help system does not work correctly as in A.04.02 Highlighting a keyword with TAB is all right -> pressing Return on highlighted keyword should request next helptext. This does not work -> no reaction on Return

• SR 1653-083774

  EDIT statement doesn¨t work when using substrings. It works fine at the HP260.

  10    DIM A$[20]
  20    A$="This is a string"
  40    EDIT "STRING = ",A$[4,7]
  60    DISP "A$=",A$
  70    END
  

  In this program the substring won't be updated correctly.

• SR 1653-084301

  The direct PRINT statement without either a data list or END should erase the content of the specified record and put a EOR into it, but it doesn¨t.

  100   CREATE "FILE1",10,10
  110   ASSIGN #1 TO "FILE1"
  120   FOR I=1 TO 10
  130      PRINT #1,I;"HELLO"
  140   NEXT I
  160   PRINT #1,3
  165   FOR I=1 TO 10
  167      READ #1,I
  170      DISP TYP(-1)
  180      READ #1,I;A$
  200   NEXT I
  205   PURGE "FILE1"
  210   END
  

• SR 5003-190652

  REPORT WRITER behaviour of NUMDETAIL is incorrect in HP Eloquence. TOTALS ON 5 * NUMDETAIL(1) gives invalid results. Last detail line is not taken into account.

• SR 1653-075234

  Eloquence Perform should allow printing on local printer.

  Customer wants to run his program via a perform file with input redirection. This program print on a local printer (PRINTER 10). When the perform is started, the PRINT statement hangs and the terminal beeps.
  This behaviour is caused by the input redirection. In this mode the handshake character can't be read from the terminal and so the program tries to read them from the perform file.

• An one character Edittext displays the inserted character not till the cursor was moved with the cursor keys.

• SR 1653-077628

  Implement a new sort order in the cross reference list Customer asked for a new sorting sequence in the cross reference output. He wanted to get the Variables sorted by names, not by types. It could be useful. The new sort order could be useful for other VARs, too.

• I new ASSIGN option is available --> APPEND

  With this option you can append text to already existing one and if the file doesn't exist, it will be created. This option works only on HP-UX text files. (CREATE "file",0)

• With this version it is possible to get a return value of a HP-UX command into a Eloquence variable.

  100   COMMAND "!tty",Tty$
  110   DISP Tty$
  

• Now it is possible to set the CRTCOLS on 700/60 terminals as at the 700/9X.
