AMT LION \| AMT COBOL	Runtime	Printing	#101644 INC: 1425196 When reprinting a text print that did not end with a linefeed character and with the option "Write before new print layout" enabled, the first line of the print was incorrectly appended to the end.

AMT LION \| AMT COBOL	AmtTools	Various	#101908 The AMT Comscript sort interface has been extended with a DupeOption property that allows developers to control how duplicate records are handled during sort operations. This property makes it possible to define whether the first (FIRSTDUP) or last (LASTDUP) record in each duplicate key group should be retained. This behavior aligns with the corresponding duplication options in JCL scripts.	NEW	AMT 172	MEDIUM

AMT COBOL	Generator	Various	#102338 In AMT COBOL, BMS field names that match C# reserved words (for example, init) were generated inconsistently. Form data fields used an underscore prefix (_init), while screen definitions used an at-sign prefix (@init), leading to mismatches between generated sources. The generator has been updated to apply a consistent prefix for both form data fields and screen definitions. All affected field names are now generated using an at-sign prefix (for example, @init).

AMT COBOL	Runtime	Various	#102516 For new open-source AMT COBOL IBM migrations, the storage mechanism for VSAM files in a database has been improved. By default, each VSAM file is stored in its own lightweight SQLite database, providing optimized performance. Alternatively, VSAM files can be stored in tables within the AMT application database. With this change, the choice between SQLite-based storage and database table storage is determined at runtime, eliminating the need for custom file commands.	CHANGE	AMT 172	MEDIUM
