Eloquence A.05.02 Release Notes

Eloquence language

• Fixed problems
• Enhancements

• XPACK / XUNPACK caused a core dump when using REMOTE LISTS

• XUNPACK filter failed to handle array elements properly.

• If the .alt attribute is undefined for an Eloquence dialog, the '&' will no longer cause the next character to be displayed underlined, because "Keyboard Accelerators" are inactive This may be important if you use a StaticText object to output data.

  Please note, that this behaviour is not portable to Dialog Manager as it always enables Keyboard Accelerators.

• cvdlg will now convert dlg files containing the .alt attribute and includes.

• When cloning an Eloquence dialog, some dialog specific attributes were not copied: alt cr, f1 .. f9
  A dialog is cloned using the DLG NEW statement, giving an object path instead of an object class. Please note, that cloning is a recursive operation.
  For example:

     DLG NEW "NewDialog","TemplateDialog"
  

  will copy the properties of TemplateDialog along with all child objects into NewDialog.

• The list and sfarpt commandline utilities failed with the error message "Inconsistent segment header" if the sum of the code size and the symbol table size of a program segments exceeded 64k bytes.

• The LOAD and LOAD SUB statements failed with the error 999 "Program file not compatible" if the sum of the code size and the symbol table size of a program segments exceeded 64k bytes.

• dbimport internal buffer space has been enlarged. When importing a data set which has an entry length close to the database limit of four kilobytes, an internal buffer overflow was possible.

• Requesting a port outside the range of 11 to 20 caused an internal error if leaving Eloquence and the port has not been released.

  For example:

       REQUEST 99
       QUIT
       assertion failed: (port >= 11 && port <= 20 && type == 0)
  

  The range of valid PORT number had been extended to the PRINTER range. However, only PORT numbers between 11 and 20 are able to process input.

• PRINTER IS 8 (deassigning a printer) could result in the unlock of a requested port.

  For example: REQUEST Port ! port is locked PRINTER IS Port ! port is still locked PRINTER IS 8 ! port is unlocked

• TYPEAHEAD CLEAR will no longer beep if typeahead data are discarded.

• The DLG DO and POPUP BOX statements are treated like an INPUT statement. The TSTAT is changed to 1 and the time will not accounted for as execution time by sfa.
