HP ELOQUENCE A.06.30 - patch 0103300

----------------------------------------------------------------------

This patch fixes a defect of the eloqcore program as released
with A.06.30. This patch will be integrated in a subsequent
HP Eloquence release.
A.06.30 must be installed before applying this patch.

This patch replaces patch PE63-0007280, PE63-0010300.

Severity:
 PE63-0103300: BUG-FIX
 PE63-0010300: BUG-FIX
 PE63-0007280: BUG-FIX


Fixed problems:
---------------

Platforms: All

* A rounding problem has been fixed which could affect string conversion. 
  For some values the result was truncated instead of rounded.

  FIXED 0
  DISP VAL$(1234.568)
  -> results in 1234 instead of 1235

* The number of databases which can be opened simultaneously from 
  HP Eloquence has been extended from 20 to 50.


Platforms: HP-UX 10.20 and 11.x

* An experimental version of this patch using the X/Open Curses library
  has been released. Previous HP Eloquence versions used the old
  HP Curses library.


Patch PE63-0010300
------------------

Platforms: All

* Printing specific numeric values could cause a crash in eloqcore due
  to a buffer overflow.

* Pressing the HALT function key (system functions) did not trigger
  ON HALT in a WAIT statement.

* A failed DLG SET .driver could result in an unexpected termination
  of HP Eloquence.

Platforms: Linux

* ON DELAY did not work correctly. Only the first timer interrupt was
  processed. After that any ON DELAY timer interrupt would be ignored
  and a timed WAIT would never expire.

Platforms: HP-UX

* A DBLOCK on a remote database running on an x86 platform (Linux, 
  Windows) could crash eloqcore with a SIGBUS due to an alignment 
  violation.

Platforms: Windows

* The PAUSE key can now be used as a HALT key.

* ON DELAY did not interrupt an INPUT statement.

* Under certain circumstances eloqcore did not start-up in background
  mode. This especially happened if "Hide local EloqCORE console window"
  was checked in an HP Eloquence start file configuration.
  Error message: Failed to get screen buffer info

* Given an unknown hostname or IP address in DLG SET ".driver" could
  cause eloqcore to hang infinitely.


Patch PE63-0007280
------------------

Platforms: All

* Matrix operations could fail with an internal error if the
  destination matrix had more elements than the source matrix.
