GOAL:
What is the purpose of $DLC/version file in Progress V9?
GOAL:
What changes have been made on $DLC/version file between Progress 9.1C and prior versions and Progress 9.1D?
GOAL:
Why the content of $DLC/version file changed between 9.1C and 9.1D?
FACT(s) (Environment):
UNIX
Progress 9.1x
FIX:
In Progress 9.1C and prior versions, the $DLC/version file is a script which has "echo" in front of version info. In V9.1D, the $DLC/version file is changed to a plain text file including just the version info.
Consequently, the scrips in $DLC/bin such as proserve has changed the way "version" is called.
In 9.1C and prior versions, it is called as "$DLC/version", in 9.1D it is called as "cat $DLC/version" in these scripts.
This is intentional change between 9.1C and 9.1D. The $DLC/version file is not meant to be a script to be executed. It is just a plain text file that contains version information.
