AMT 137
- The AMT Blazor web client rendering has been thoroughly refactored in period leading up to this release. It has undergone several changes to improve performance, stabiliby and maintability of the product. The base and most common AMT controls are now feature complete. In the coming releases, more complex controls, such as the COBOL BMS Terminal, Dynamic Form control, SwitchTo and the Datagrid control, will be improved. Although the AMT Blazor web client has been rigorously tested, we advise you to do the same on your own specific environment.

| AMT COBOL | Developer | Code Logic | #348
The COBOL / XGEN ASeries 'Lock' statement has been refactored to improve performance and maintainability of both the 'Lock First' and 'Lock Next' options. This has been achieved by re-reading the previous record when a lock fails, instead of reading the record twice. |

FIX | AMT 137 | MEDIUM |
| AMT LION | AMT COBOL | Generator | Various | #81932
In the AMT Developer Studio, the logging of the generated items on the screen kept tracking the last item, preventing the user from examining a previous log item. The logging now still automatically tracks the latest log item on the screen, but when an item is clicked, the tracking stops and scrolling stays on the selected item. When the last item is re-selected, the latest logging is tracked again. |

Using the ComScript module with the FileObject or SortObject caused an error: 'Could not connect to the FileController'. This error was caused by the inability of PowerShell version 7.4.1 to load the required assemblies. The AMT ComScript module and AMT Com module now determine the correct assembly to be loaded depending on the local environment. |
FIX | AMT 137 | MEDIUM |
| AMT COBOL | Generator | Code Logic | #82196
In AMT COBOL, the AMT Generator returned an error on a variable with 'PIC S9(18) COMP-5'. The AMT Generator has been changed to accept this picture clause combination. |

Using a NULL value in the UNSTRING command resulted in empty results, and position '0', because of different behaviour of 'String.IndexOf' in .NET 8, compared to .NET 6. The issue has been solved by using the 'StringComparer.Ordinal' internally. |
FIX | AMT 137 | MEDIUM |
