|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|

The CREATE INDEX command is migrated to a DDL for target databases by the COBOL converter. However, functions like DATA() on index keys were not supported. CREATE INDEX now supports the DATA() function. |
NEW | AMT 158 | MEDIUM |
| AMT COBOL | Runtime | Code Logic | #83560
The AMT COBOL EXEC DB2 DIGITS Function was not working properly for .NET and Java. For example, the number -6.28, was returned as 000006 in .NET, and as -00000 by Java. Both platforms now have correct implementations, and return 000628 for the example above. |

| AMT COBOL | Developer | Code Logic | #85762
The COBOL parser produced many errors when something was wrong in the CICS LINK, CICS GET MAIN or CICS VERIFY statements, if the END-EXEC tag was missing. Errors produced now are more meaningful. |
FIX | AMT 158 | MEDIUM |
| AMT COBOL | Developer | Code Logic | #85779
In AMT COBOL, the EVALUATE WHEN statement with complex expressions, like the ones with multiple structures, failed to parse/generate. Parsing/generation is now done correctly. |
FIX | AMT 158 | MEDIUM |
| AMT COBOL | Developer | Code Logic | #85780
In AMT COBOL, EVALUATE with an ALSO condition is not recognized correctly. The check for an ALSO in the parser has been improved. |

NEW | AMT 158 | MEDIUM |
| AMT LION | AMT COBOL | Developer | Code Logic | #85878
The AMT Developer Studio threw an error when a variable with a continuation character was used. Continuation characters in variables now work properly. |
FIX | AMT 158 | MEDIUM |
| AMT COBOL | Developer | COBOL | #85880
In AMT COBOL, EVALUATE WHEN in combination with NOT was not implemented correctly, with parentheses around NOT causing problems. These statements are now parsed correctly. |
FIX | AMT 158 | MEDIUM |
| AMT COBOL | Developer | COBOL | #85889
In AMT COBOL, the PRINT function in the CICS SEND statement was not parsed and threw a error. Now, it is parsed and throws a warning instead. |

FIX | AMT 158 | MEDIUM |
| AMT COBOL | Generator | COBOL | #92105

FIX | AMT 158 | MEDIUM |
| AMT LION | Runtime | AMT Screens | #92542
In AMT Screens, there was no option to export all data in RTQuery. A 'get all' button has been added that downloads all data for the current table or query, which is then available for export. |
NEW | AMT 158 | MEDIUM |
| AMT COBOL | Runtime | Code Logic | #92657
AMT did not support the creation of an index on a temporary table created inside a COBOL program. This construction is now supported. |
FIX | AMT 158 | MEDIUM |
| AMT COBOL | Runtime | COBOL | #92658
The COBOL parser creates sub-items when sorting on groups containing comp fields. Parsing the sub- item could go wrong if items were defined in different groups. Items are now re-used, because they have already been parsed correctly. |
FIX | AMT 158 | MEDIUM |
| AMT COBOL | Developer | Code Logic | #92668
In AMT COBOL, errors with the CICS CALL function were detected, due to the implementation of the (NOT) ON EXCEPTION clause. The support for (NOT) ON EXCEPTION in CICS CALL statements has been reverted. |
FIX | AMT 158 | MEDIUM |

Datacom database stored-procs and functions were not correct, difficult to maintain and had the wrong EBCDIC-ASCII translation. All datacom database functions are now stored in a separate schema, making them easier to maintain. |
