- All AMT Products:
- A number of changes have been made in preparation for the .NET Core and gRPC implementation. The full details of these changes will be provided in the AMT 75 release notes.
| Product | Cat | Subcat | Description | Type | Version | Priority |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| AMT LION | Runtime | AmtScreens | C2003-076 The 'ForceDecimalKey' property does not work in AmtScreens. When a numeric value is entered and then tab is clicked, no message is given. It just puts .0 after the entry. Changing focus and transmitting is now blocked and a message is displayed when the 'ForceDecimalKey' property is set and the value is not correct. |
FIX | AMT 74 | Low |
| AMT LION | Runtime | AmtScreens | 329428 When using Print Preview on a text report in AmtScreens, special characters like 'ó' were not supported and replaced by a '?'. AmtScreens now supports special characters when using print preview. |
FIX | AMT 74 | Low |
| AMT LION | Runtime | AmtScreens | 329383 When using RtQuery in AmtScreens, it was not possible to add a new record to an empty table using the 'Add New Record' option. New records can now be added to any table using the 'Add New Record' option. |
FIX | AMT 74 | Low |
| AMT LION | AMT COBOL | Runtime | Various | C2007-037 When creating SQL queries during runtime using standard programming code, it was taking too long to create. The creation of SQL queries has been improved by using a new coding strategy. |
CHANGE | AMT 74 | Medium |
| AMT LION | Runtime | AmtScreens | 329562 The parameter '/X' for sessionData was not supported in AmtScreens. AmtScreens now supports the '/X' parameter for sessionData. When adding 'FILE:' after '/X', it will try to read the file specified and put the data from the file into the sessionData. |
FIX | AMT 74 | Low |
| AMT COBOL | Generator | Various | C2007-055 When a Cobol subprogram has embedded SQL defined in working storage, C# was generated differently, which caused a performance penalty at the end of the call. If the subprogram was called frequently, it could decrease performance. The AMT generator is fixed to eliminate this issue. |
FIX | AMT 74 | Medium |
| AMT LION | Runtime | AmtScreens | 329565 In AmtScreens when using RTQuery in Table mode, changing an index did not sort properly. Index functionality is now correct in AmtScreens. |
FIX | AMT 74 | Medium |
| AMT LION | AMT COBOL | Runtime | Various | C2007-058 When a random exception was logged, a second exception was thrown while trying to retrieve the stack trace. The original exception was then lost. Exceptions are handled properly now and the logs are accurate. |
FIX | AMT 74 | Low |
| AMT LION | AMT COBOL | Developer | Revision Control | 329553 When the script folder is empty within a generation set in AMT Developer Studio, the 'Assign Label to generation set' option gives an error on every script. The error message option has been improved, you now can abort the assign label after an error. |
FIX | AMT 74 | Low |
| AMT COBOL | Generator | Various | C2007-063 The Cobol picture format resulted in an invalid picture. For example, a Cobol picture (3)9.9(4) should contain a character at the first position like: -(3)9.9(4) or Z(3)9.9(4) or 9(3).9(4), but AMT Cobol and IBM mainframe accepted it both ways. However, in AMT it was translated to a literal (3)9.9(4) where IBM just ignores (3) creating a 9.9(4) of it. AMT behaviour now matches IBM. |
FIX | AMT 74 | Medium |
| AMT LION | Generator | Various | 329286 When using a web service, loading the WSDL detected a style of RPC/Literal instead of Document/Literal as it should. RPC/Literal is not allowed - only Document/Literal and RPC/Encoded are valid. Document style is now set at SoapOperationBinding level, and style is now correctly derived. |
FIX | AMT 74 | Low |
| AMT COBOL | Runtime | Scripts | C2007-068 The AMT PowerShell Sort library method Get-FileRecordSize returned a value 0 if the first line of a file to be sorted was empty. The method now checks the length of the second line in the input file if the first line is empty. The length of the second line is then returned. |
FIX | AMT 74 | Low |
| AMT COBOL | Runtime | Various | C2007-070 The WHERE condition on a query with high-values goes wrong on a case-insensitive database. SQL Server treats the 'ÿ' as it were a 'y' character. There is now a GENSET flag - 'CASEINSENSITIVETARGETDB=TRUE' - that indicates a case-insensitive database. |
CHANGE | AMT 74 | Medium |
| AMT LION | Runtime | AmtScreens | 329440 In AmtScreens when querying a table with millions of records, the execution time was significantly slower than LionScreens. Performance speed is now increased and comparable to LionScreens. |
FIX | AMT 74 | Low |
| AMT LION | Runtime | AmtScreens | 329442 When exporting data using RtQuery in AmtScreens, numeric fields were wrapped in double quotes. Now, no quotes are placed around a numeric value when exporting. |
FIX | AMT 74 | Low |
| AMT LION | Runtime | AmtScreens | 329099 When performing a long transaction in RtQuery, there was no indication that the transaction was still running. A wait icon now appears when a transaction is loading. |
FIX | AMT 74 | Low |
| AMT LION | Runtime | AmtScreens | 329448 When using a semicolon within RtQuery, AmtScreens saw it as a query separator. Also, when no query was found, an 'Invalid query' message was shown instead of 'No query to run' message. Now semicolons are supported within RtQuery. If no query is supplied, the error message reads 'No query found'. |
FIX | AMT 74 | Medium |
| AMT LION | AMT COBOL | Runtime | Various | C2007-083 The assembly resolver of the LionRepository.dll was throwing a "Length cannot be less than zero" exception if the assembly name wasn't fully qualified. Exception no longer thrown in this scenario. |
FIX | AMT 74 | Low |
| AMT LION | Runtime | AmtScreens | 329582 When defining an image for a button click event, the click image was not loaded in AmtScreens. The correct image is now loaded and displayed. |
FIX | AMT 74 | Low |
| AMT COBOL | Runtime | Various | C2007-088 Display statements in programs were not going to SYSOUT file specified. Display statements in programs now output to the correct SYSOUT file. |
CHANGE | AMT 74 | Medium |
| AMT LION | Runtime | AmtScreens | 329584 Focus was not set to the next control when tabbing and the control had an OnExit event. The focus was stolen by the first focusable parent. Focus is now set correctly after transmission. |
FIX | AMT 74 | Low |
| AMT LION | AMT COBOL | Runtime | Jobs/Batches | C2007-090 There was a missing index on the AmtSysBatchHistory table, which was affecting performance. Index now added on AmtSysBatchHistory table for fields Appid, BatchId and CombEndDateTime. |
CHANGE | AMT 74 | Low |
| AMT LION | AMT COBOL | Runtime | Jobs/Batches | C2007-091 Debugging LION reports or AMT-COBOL programs using the LION Debugger was previously unavailable in .NET Core. Reports and programs can now be debugged using the LION Debugger in .NET Core. However, this is only possible when the Debugger is connected to a BatchController. Note: Debugging of forms requires a separate connection to the application server, so forms and reports can no longer be debugged in the same session. |
CHANGE | AMT 74 | Low |
| AMT LION | Runtime | AmtScreens | 329424 If the first radio button in a group was defined as default, it was not recognized as default. If the default radio button is the first one in the list, it will now also be accepted. |
FIX | AMT 74 | Low |
| AMT LION | AMT COBOL | Runtime | Various | C2007-095 The LION COM Module is now built as a .NET Standard 2.0 library, so it can be used by both the .NET Framework and .NET Core applications. |
CHANGE | AMT 74 | Low |
| AMT LION | AMT COBOL | Runtime | Various | C2008-002 When 'Debug' logging is enabled and the logging level is set to '9', a database trace file is created. This database trace file is missing the value parameters of the INSERT statements. The insert values are now logged correctly. |
FIX | AMT 74 | Low |
| AMT LION | Runtime | AmtScreens | C2008-009 When a ComboBox with the 'NumericCanBeEmpty' property set to true and a value of space is sent, the space is changed to a 0. This should remain a space. Also, The NumericCanBeEmpty was not available for the ListBox object. The behavior of the 'NumericCanBeEmpty' property for ComboBoxes and ListBoxes is now uniform. |
FIX | AMT 74 | Low |
| AMT LION | Developer | Code Logic | 328973, 329626, 329316 When two or more classes - both private and public - are passed in the parameter list of a routine, a C# error was thrown. Due to some internal changes, the variables used the same name. This is now corrected. |
