INTRODUCTION
============
These Documentation Update Notes (DUNs) contain changes to the printed
manuals. These give information that was not available when the manuals
were printed. You may want to mark the changes in your manuals.
These Documentation Update Notes also give a list of on-disk documents.
ON-DISK DOCUMENTATION
=====================
This release includes the following on-disk documents:
main.1 - Release Notes
dun.1 - Documentation Update Notes
changes.1 - Compatibility With Previous Releases
early.1 - Release Notes for Early Release Features
The following on-disk supplements should be regarded as additional
chapters, or additions to chapters, in the books shown:
COBOL User Guide:
signals.1 - Signal Handling
COBOL System Reference:
file.1 - File Structures
For details of on-disk documents covering Early Release features, see
the on-disk document early.1.
Corrections and additions too small for separate on-disk documents are
given in the section "Changes to Printed Books" in this DUNs document.
CHANGES TO PRINTED BOOKS
========================
For clarity, the notation and layout in this section are slightly
different from those in the printed books. For example, headings are
underlined and command lines are indented. Parameters in command lines
(which in the printed books are in italics) are here enclosed in < >.
COBOL System Reference
======================
Chapter 12 (File Handler Utilities)
-----------------------------------
o Page 12-42. In the list of files for demo4, amend the first line to
read:
convert1.int (convert1.cbl, convert1.idy)
o Page 12-42. Change the last section on the page to:
convert1 Demonstration Program
The convert1 demonstration program contains code for creating and
writing records to an indexed file containing fixed length records.
This file has both data compression and key compression active. To
create the file demofile4, type:
cobrun convert1.int
-added V3.2.20
Chapter 26 (Run-time Configuration)
-----------------------------------
o Page 26-4. Add the following new run-time tuneable:
bll_cell_address_check
Syntax: bll_cell_address_check={true|false}
Value: TRUE or FALSE
If TRUE, a test is run to determine if the top
bit of the address of any BLL cell is set. If
this bit is set, RTS error 181 "Invalid parameter
error" may be returned when testing the address
of shared memory.
If FALSE, the test is suppressed. This is the
recommended setting if BLL-cells are being
allocated in shared memory.
Default: TRUE
Appendix E (Directives for Compiler)
-------------------------------------
o Page E -52. In the entry for DATACOMPRESS, below the line:
1 Specifies run-length encoding
add a new line:
3 Specifies run-length encoding for Dbouble-byte Character Set
and change the first line of the "Remarks" paragraph to:
The only values that can be specified for data compression
supported by this system are 1 and 3.
-added V3.2.20
Appendix P (Windowing Support for Text-based Systems)
-------------------------------------------------------
o Page P -17. In the section "Demonstration Programs, after the
paragraph that ends "...rendition of boxes and lines", add the
following with "Windows" in the left margin:
The Windows versions of these two demonstration programs are
mfwnote.cbl and mfwcalc.cbl. To link both mfwnote and mfwcalc,
enter:
link mfwnote+mfwcalc+adis+adisinit+adisdyna+adiskey+
panels+cobwin2,,,coblib+ doscalls;
To link mfwcalc on its own enter:
link mfwcalc+adis+adisinit+adisdyna+adiskey+panels+
cobwin2,,,cobl ib+doscalls;
-added V3.2.20
