4.8.09 Release Notes

Changes from 4.8.07 to 4.8.09

 

All

If PFWGT0=ON, then report will now print headings and grand totals.

 

All

Change HTML :BA for <BASEFONT> to HTML :BF, as :BA is already used

for <BASE>.

 

Unix

Fix Unix code for HTML and JSFILE :CR when checking for leading "/".

(Would prepend $PFSERVROOT even if it started with "/".)

 

All - QuikStart (rcabe)

It was possible for an array reference to return "bad assignment at

position indicated" even on valid references, at runtime.

 

All

If you are inserting a duplicate key, in a record higher than any

of the other records with that key, and the block in the index that

stores that key is continued into another block, but it is not this

key that is continued, the key is inserted into the continued-key

value rather than the correct key value. This can cause "deleted

key not found" errors.

 

Unix

Fixed Unix OpenDir()/NextDir() problem of not returning filenames

in the same format as the DOS version.

 

Unix

Fixed Unix OpenDir()/NextDir() problem of not having the dates line

up correctly.

 

Unix (SCO/iBCS2 only)

Fix occasional "too many open files" on systems with NFILES > 64

 

All

Add PFUFLAG=ON to *report to force "-u" operation.

 

All

Add PFBLANKOV=ON to cause math arithmetic involving blank dates to

return "/OV" (which is apparently how the Sun version used to work).

 

All

If you are browsing on a demand index, and use a selection set which

causes no records to be selected, pressing up-arrow generated an

"invalid index" error.

 

All (cosmetic)

dxmaint's list of automatic indexes overwrote the filename/indexname

info on line 20. Move dialog box up.

 

All

If you have a shared index block that is continued into the next block,

but the continued key has only a single instance of the key within this

block, and you delete that key, the rest of the continuation chain is

left dangling. This can cause "delete key not found" errors.

 

All

New variable (since 4.8.01, but missing from the prior readme) called

PFCONFIG=pathname allows you to specify the full path to an alternate

filePro configuration file.
