| Product | Cat | Subcat | Description | Type | Version | Priority |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| AMT LION | AMT COBOL | AmtTools | Reo | 328536 AMT Reorganize logging messages scrolled out of view and weren't visible anymore. The display of logging information has been improved to solve this issue. Also, the display of information within the status bar has been improved. |
FIX | AMT 67 | Low |
| AMT LION | AMT COBOL | Runtime | Web Client | C2001-046 If a user that already existed tried to log in using an existing login name, the message 'User name already exists' was shown, which was too specific for security reasons. Now, if a user that already exists logs in, a more generic error message is shown: 'Something went wrong with signing up. Please contact your system administrator'. |
CHANGE | AMT 67 | Low |
| AMT LION | AMT COBOL | Control Center | Security | C2001-048 Downloading a logfile was done by sending its pathname to the server. This was a vulnerability for Local File Inclusion, because any file could be downloaded if the request was intercepted. Downloading a log file is now done by sending the file ID to the database. The server looks up the corresponding file and returns the data. |
CHANGE | AMT 67 | Low |
| AMT LION | AMT COBOL | Runtime | Web Client | C2001-051 In a NoFramework application, the ReturnURL could be changed on the login page, which was a security risk. The ReturnURL has been removed and now automatically redirects to the NoFramework page. |
CHANGE | AMT 67 | Low |
| AMT LION | AMT COBOL | Runtime | Web Client | 328923 Users were not created if the system had the NoFramework option and Windows authentication was selected. User creation code for situations in which NoFramework and Windows authentication have been selected has been implemented. |
FIX | AMT 67 | Low |
| AMT LION | AMT COBOL | Generator | Various | C2002-068 Runtime applications in the AMT Application Server reported that 'protobuf-net.dll' could not be found. The generator now always copies the missing DLL to the client web site folder. |
FIX | AMT 67 | Low |
| AMT LION | AMT COBOL | Runtime | Jobs/Batches | C2002-070 If a PowerShell script with multiple (mandatory) parameters was started from the AMT Control Center, and the 'Run PowerShell inside batch-controller' option was enabled, a 'Cannot process command because of one or more missing mandatory parameters' exception was raised, caused by quotes surrounding the parameters. The surrounding quotes are now removed when the 'Run Powershell inside Batch Controller' option is enabled. |
FIX | AMT 67 | Low |
| AMT COBOL | Runtime | Jobs/Batches | C2002-071 Former A-Series COBOL only: Jobs started by a COBOL program with CALL SYSTEM WFL, did not show up on the 'Batch Control' screen in the AMT Control Center. This issue has been resolved. |
FIX | AMT 67 | Low |
| AMT COBOL | Runtime | Various | C2002-072 Performance of MOVE/CALC of numeric values without decimals has been improved. |
CHANGE | AMT 67 | Low |
| AMT LION | AMT COBOL | Developer | Code Logic | C2002-081 Code completion did not work if there was a space in the array definition. Spaces between the square brackets are now properly handled. |
FIX | AMT 67 | Low |
| AMT LION | Control Center | Server Control | C2002-082 Comserver wouldn't start after an AMT update. The Comserver has been fixed so that all necessary files are downloaded correctly. |
FIX | AMT 67 | Low |
| AMT COBOL | Runtime | Various | C2002-084 If a COBOL program called a shared program and the Transaction Server/Agent did not get a response within the defined time, the program just continued and nothing was logged. This has been resolved by having the program throw an exception when the timeout is exceeded. and halting the program. |
FIX | AMT 67 | Low |
| AMT LION | AMT COBOL | Runtime | Web Client | C2002-086 Edge Chromium was not yet supported. Edge Chromium is supported from AMT 67. |
NEW | AMT 67 | Low |
| AMT COBOL | Runtime | Various | 329067 For IBM DB2 queries, in some cases the CAST <expression> AS DATE was converted incorrectly. The CAST <expression> AS DATE is now converted correctly. |
FIX | AMT 67 | Low |
| AMT COBOL | Runtime | Various | C2003-004 If COBOL command SET ADDRESS OF <variable> TO <pointer> is used with 0 or a null pointer, memory was freed. If the variable was called later with a valid pointer, AMT returned an error. With this fix the pointer gets assigned properly. |
FIX | AMT 67 | Low |
| AMT LION | AMT COBOL | Control Center | Various | C2003-006 A time zone difference between the AMT System Time Zone and the Local Server Time Zone caused new job requests to be queued instead of started directly. This issue has been resolved by enforcing the System Time Zone for the start date/time of job requests. |
FIX | AMT 67 | Low |
| AMT COBOL | Generator | Various | 329091 For IBM COBOL, complex DB2 queries using a specific combination of sub-queries and unions caused host variables not to be generated. This has now been fixed in the AMT Generator. |
FIX | AMT 67 | Low |
| AMT LION | Generator | Various | 329063 Generating a Graphical Report with a label of type String and OCCURS (vertical or horizontal) raised a C# error. This has now been corrected. |
FIX | AMT 67 | Low |
| AMT COBOL | Generator | Various | 329088 For IBM COBOL, using a GO TO statement to jump back to previous sections resulted in unpredictable behavior. The generator has been improved and tries to correct GO TO statements that jump up to 3 sections back. Please note that jumping back to sections is highly discouraged and can still result in unpredictable behavior. |
CHANGE | AMT 67 | Low |
| AMT COBOL | Runtime | Various | 32911 IBM COBOL DB2 INSERT statements with date/time columns failed when a date/time format was used that was different from that of SQL Server. IBM COBOL DB2 INSERT statements with date/time columns have now been optimized to use host variables, so that date/time formats are translated at runtime. |
CHANGE | AMT 67 | Low |
| AMT COBOL | Runtime | Various | 329044 For IBM migrations the DYNAM library needed to be implemented. The DYNAM has been implemented for functions ALLOC and UNALLOC. If a (sub)program with that name exists, that is called instead of the AMT version. |
FIX | AMT 67 | Low |
| AMT LION | Runtime | AmtScreens | 329102 AMT Screens recording a macro did not record any spaces within an Editbox. The recording mechanism has been improved so that spaces are now recorded. |
FIX | AMT 67 | Low |
| AMT LION | Runtime | AmtScreens | 329126 A label with top = 0 and left = 0 was not shown correctly within an AMT Scrollbox if it had no border. The Scrollbox has been improved so that the label is shown correctly on the top left side. |
FIX | AMT 67 | Low |
| AMT COBOL | Runtime | Various | C2003-025 Messages sent from COBOL programs did not show the correct source. The source of the message was shown as the starting/first program, whereas the actual source of the message could be another program started by the first program. The first program was always shown as the source. This issue has been fixed, the correct source (the actual program doing the display) is now shown. |
FIX | AMT 67 | Low |
| AMT COBOL | Runtime | COM Module | 329116 In IBM COBOL, a field in a screen unaltered by the user is sent back as low-values/spaces, so the program knows the user has not changed anything. The AMT Application Center uses the same approach, but the COMModule formatted low-values to '0'. A value is no longer formatted inside the COMModule when the received value for a numeric field is spaces. So unless the client application updates the value itself, the logic can check on altered values by checking on low-values. |
FIX | AMT 67 | Low |
| AMT COBOL | Runtime | Scripts | C2003-033 CopyRecords function needed to be added to ComScript FileObject. For copying data between new SQLite files and other files the function CopyRecords has been added. This copies all data from one file to another but leaves file type and metadata intact. It mimics the IBM mainframe IDCAMS REPRO function. |
NEW | AMT 67 | Medium |
| AMT COBOL | Runtime | Various | 329134 In IBM COBOL, moving hex 00 into a signed numeric field resulted in -28 instead of zeros. In AMT COBOL, moving hex 00 into a numeric field now results in zeros. |
CHANGE | AMT 67 | Low |
| AMT COBOL | Runtime | Various | C2003-039 On an A-Series mainframe, the DMTERMINATE statement terminates the program and provides information about the DMSII database error that occurred. In AMT COBOL the DMTERMINATE statement only terminated the program. It did not provide any information about the actual database error. Additional information about the actual database error that occurred has been added to the DMTERMINATE abort message in AMT COBOL. |
CHANGE | AMT 67 | Low |
| AMT COBOL | Runtime | Various | C2003-044 On an A-Series mainframe, the default value of an SDF field is placed in the field when the form is sent to the terminal initially, or when the program value is 0 (zero) or blanks. In AMT COBOL the default value was always overwritten by the program value. This issue has been resolved, AMT COBOL now gives the field its initial value. |
