README.980116 Revision: 98-01-16 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This is a patch for HP Eloquence A.05.12. It provides a replacement for files as distributed with A.05.12. This patch fixes the following problems: * Unlocking remote databases with DBUNLOCK modes other than one. (#515, G2609512) DBUNLOCK modes other than mode 1 returned status -31 when used with remote databases (through the eloqnd process). * Handling programs with embedded NUL characters (#606, E3271450) The HP260 made it possible to embed NUL characters into strings. While HP Eloquence is able to execute such a program, the program listing is inconsistent, since a NUL character is used internally as a string terminator. This may cause program corruption if such a program line is modified. This patch converts an embedded NUL character into a CHR$(0) expression. Files included: eloqcore list Installation: In order to install eloqcore you need to unpack it with gzip. Gzip is included with Linux and HP-UX 10.x and can be obtained for HP-UX 9.x from this ftp server in the /pub directory. cd /opt/eloquence/bin gzip -dc ecore.tar.gz | tar xf - chown bin:bin eloqcore list chmod 555 eloqcore list
