The AMT Generator has been enhanced with a startup parameter that automatically shuts down the generator after all requests have been processed. This behavior can be enabled by adding the /STOPWHENREADY option to the command line. |

| AMT LION | Runtime | AMT Screens | #98261
INC: 1386657 In AMT Screens, executing a SetFocus event that targeted a control on an invisible tabsheet could result in a blank tabsheet being displayed in the page control. Similarly, when the currently active tabsheet was set to invisible via code, a blank tabsheet was shown instead of switching to another visible tab. The control library has been enhanced to prevent blank tabsheets from being displayed: - SetFocus events targeting controls on invisible tabsheets are now ignored. - When the active tabsheet is set to invisible, the page control automatically switches to the first available visible tabsheet. - When navigating between tabsheets using the arrow keys, invisible tabsheets are skipped. |

| AMT COBOL | Developer | Code Logic | #98690
In AMT COBOL, the SORT statement using INPUT PROCEDURE and OUTPUT PROCEDURE could generate calls to incorrect sections when the specified section referenced labels outside its own section. This issue has been resolved by updating the parser optimizer to correctly handle cross-section label references. |

| AMT COBOL | Developer | Code Logic | #99738
In AMT COBOL, the parser incorrectly interpreted DB2 SQL column names such as MONTH, YEAR, and DAY as function calls rather than column identifiers. This has been fixed: the parser now correctly treats these keywords as column names when they are used without parentheses. |

| AMT LION | AMT COBOL | AmtTools | File Controller | #100458
The sorting functionality of the AMT File Controller has been enhanced to support INREC control statements. |
NEW | AMT 170 | MEDIUM |
| AMT COBOL | Developer | Code Logic | #100883
The AMT COBOL parser did not correctly handle COBOL 68-style COPY statements when they appeared in the LINKAGE SECTION. This has been fixed. The parser now processes COBOL 68 COPY statements in the LINKAGE SECTION in the same way as in the WORKING-STORAGE and FILE sections. |
FIX | AMT 170 | MEDIUM |
| AMT LION | AMT COBOL | AmtTools | Various | #101575
The AMT Comscript module’s database interface now exposes a read-only DatabaseType property, which returns the database type in use at runtime as a string. |
