Bug Fixes
---------
This patch includes solutions to the following issues.
1. 4146 error in /NOINTERACTIVE batch process
Progress, upon startup, is attempting to determine the
terminal characteristics. Non-interactive processes
(where there is no terminal involved) are not handling
this condition correctly.
2. RMS Windows client -Nn remote adapter name
The -Nn parameter will not accept a parameter greater
than 99. Documentation specifies that up to 1000
brokers/servers are allowed.
3. CDDTODF utility fails on Alpha
The CDDTODF utility would fail on Alpha systems,
producing empty .df files.
4. Progress (72E02) gets errors (Alpha Only)
Alpha systems without UCX are unable to run PROGRESS.
Version 72E02 was linked with UCX sharable images and
would require them to be present during image activation.
5. Compiler errors when using syntax: {{&variable-name}}
The PROGRESS language results in compiler errors if
double braces are used in the 4gl.
PROGRESS errors you may encounter: (247) (254) (198)
6. Extra cursor on the screen
Complex frames (which worked under v6) resulted in
an extra cursor appearing on the screen.
7. Rubout (backspace/delete) key on VT type terminals not
functioning properly
Under Progress V7.2, the Rubout (the key just over the
return key) removed the character to the right of the
cursor. This correction will cause the Rubout key to
remove the character to the left of the cursor; as was
the case in version 6.
8. TERMINAL= function
The TERMINAL= function was not working under V7.2.
This has been corrected and an updated PROTERM.DAT file
is included with this patch. The statement
'TERMINAL="VT300-132".' will set a VT300 into 132 column
mode.
Instructions
------------
1. Create a directory call tmp
$ create/directory [.tmp]
2. Set working directory to [.tmp]
$ set default [.tmp]
3. Unpack files from the tape
$ backup/log <tapedev>:72e04.sav/save *.* !<tapedev> is site
!specific tape name.
4. Copy the files to their appropriate directories.
$ copy/log *.obj proload:[4gl]*
$ copy/log version.; dlc:*
$ copy/log *.exe; bin:*
5. Replace necessary images in shared memory.
6. Relink new executables to include new objects if your
environment requires the use of PROBUILD.COM.
7. Print a hardcopy of the readme.pro before file deletion.
$ print readme.pro
8. Once you are sure that appropriate files are copied and
installed delete the files located in [.tmp]
$ set default [.tmp] !set def to appropriate tmp directory
$ delete/confirm *.obj;,*.exe;,version.;,readme.pro;
