Critical fixes to the database server
Some of the database server fixes are considered critical, even if
only for corner-cases:
- In rare cases the buffer cache could fail to write a page modification to disk, resulting in an incorrect free-list page link/pointer.
- The database server could abort after an overflow of an internal counter variable.
- Searching an index could cause the database server to abort.

Enhancements added to B.07.10 and B.08.00
database server
Improved database compatibility checks on DBOPEN have been implemented to
prevent opening incompatible databases from newer Eloquence versions. When a dbutil ADD ITEM data set clause is used to add an item
of type P (packed) to a data set, the subsequent restructuring
process now initializes this new P item to unsigned zero.
Previously, a new P item was initialized to binary zero.
fwaudit
When processing an audit file, any comment records are now output to
stderr, no longer to stdout.
Audit comment records are used to record any problems that may have
occurred while the original forward-log was processed. When an archived
audit file is later used with fwaudit, these comment record messages
are now output to stderr. Previously they were output to stdout along
with the clear-text report.
In addition, the warning messages written to comment records have been
revised so that they now clearly indicate that they were created while
the original forward-log was processed.
Enhancements added to B.08.00 only
database server
- A database restructuring could temporarily require significantly more
available disk space in the data volume(s), as compared to Eloquence
B.07.10. This has been corrected.
dbfsck
- The dbfsck utility was enhanced to detect and fix broken links
in the FixRec free-list.
query3k
The QUERY3K utility was changed to ignore a FF character
(formfeed, 0x0c) if it is the first character in an input line.
This allows to use QUERY3K output files with XEQ.
Previous versions of QUERY3K failed with a syntax error.
The QUERY3K REPORT command uses a FF character to indicate a new
page in its output. This makes it difficult to use a QUERY3K
report subsequently in an XEQ statement without disabling the
paging (option NOPAGE or SET LINES=0). However, this was
possible on MPE.
eloqcore
- Extend valid PRINTER numbers from -2:99 to -2:999.
Added the POPUPBOX option to the config file to allow enabling
function keys to interrupt a POPUP BOX statement.
When enabled, a defined FUNCTION KEY or HALT interrupts a POPUP BOX
statement and returns -1 as the selected choice.
This function is enabled in the configuration file by specifying
the option POPUPBOX and the asssociated config value. For example:
option popupbox 7
The option value is bit encoded:
1 = sfk
2 = halt
4 = ESC
Please note that this functionality is not available when using
the DLG driver.
