| Product | Cat | Subcat | Description | Type | Version | Priority |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| AMT LION | AMT COBOL | AmtTools | Reo | 328296 AMT Reorganize occasionally got empty AMT Schema information, if the version number was read incorrectly and a fallback to the System Database was performed. AMT Reorganize has been improved to prevent empty AMT Schema information. |
FIX | AMT 77 | Low |
| AMT LION | Developer | Code Logic | 303065 Some LION keywords were missing in the keywords list or their surrounding characters specifications were incorrect. The keywords list has been updated and corrected. |
FIX | AMT 77 | Low |
| AMT LION | AMT COBOL | Developer | Code Logic | C2002-013 If UseSSL was passed as a parameter for SmtpLogon, name and password were ignored. UseSSL functionality has been corrected for SmtpLogon. SSL now works correctly and is enabled when passed as a parameter. |
FIX | AMT 77 | Low |
| AMT LION | AMT COBOL | AmtTools | Reo | 328753 Warnings in AMT Reorganize Analyze did not appear in the Analyze Results tab. Futhermore, skipping warnings was not an option in AMT Reorganize. From now on, warnings are visible in the Analyze Results tab. A checkbox has been added to suppress warning messages. In a batch start of AMT Reorganize, option /SKIPWARNINGS can be set to T or F to suppress or show warnings, respectively. The default value for this switch is T. |
CHANGE | AMT 77 | Low |
| AMT LION | Developer | Code Logic | 329124 LION operators were not recognizable as such because of their grey colour in the LION Developer. The default colour for LION operators has been set to RoyalBlue; operators and literals are now displayed in bold font for additional clarity. |
FIX | AMT 77 | Medium |
| AMT LION | AMT COBOL | Runtime | Web Client | 329527 StartupParameters were not accepted in a NoFramework environment. All parameters are now accepted, no matter if ReturnUrl is present or not. Important: UserCode is only implemented if the key AmtImpersonate is added and set to true in the web.config. UserCode for WindowsAuthentication in NoFramework is currently not supported. Parameter ipaddress does not overwrite the workstation's actual IP- Address, this will be resolved in AMT 78. |
FIX | AMT 77 | Low |
| AMT LION | Developer | Code Logic | C2007-076 A run-time error occurred when JSON serialization for a LION-defined class was called, because the IgnoreJson attribute was missing in the native class. This has been fixed by adding the attribute. |
FIX | AMT 77 | Low |
| AMT LION | Runtime | Various | C2009-003 Oneway Soap calls in Consumable webservices were not generated as such, as the ReplyAction attribute did not cater for them. One way calls are now generated with the OneWay attribute in the SOAP's OperationContract. |
FIX | AMT 77 | Low |
| AMT COBOL | Runtime | Various | C2009-006 According to the COBOL manual the INSPECT..TALLYING statement, when used with the AFTER option, should return ZERO if the AFTER character is not found, but AMT COBOL returned the total length of the inspected value in these circumstances. The AFTER option of the INSPECT..TALLYING statement now returns ZERO in AMT COBOL if the AFTER character is not found. |
FIX | AMT 77 | Low |
| AMT LION | Runtime | Various | 329617 Consumable Web Services gave a SOAP.SERVERFAULT error if numeric or Boolean types had null as a response. Nullable type support has been added so nullable numeric and Boolean values are deserialized correctly. |
FIX | AMT 77 | Low |
| AMT LION | AMT COBOL | Runtime | Scripts | 329769 ComScript KillAll and StopAll locked up the AMTSYSBATCHREQUEST table when called, because the Commit was missing. Commit is now called correctly. |
FIX | AMT 77 | Low |
| AMT LION | Runtime | AmtScreens | 329317 Getting data from a large database could be time consuming if performed with AMT Screens RTQuery. Performance for RTQuery in Query mode has been improved by adding option FAST (FIRST_ROW_1 for Oracle), as it was done before for Table mode. |
FIX | AMT 77 | Medium |
| AMT LION | Generator | Various | 329286 A C-Sharp error concerning global namespaces occurred on generating Consumable Web Services. The C-Sharp error has been resolved. |
FIX | AMT 77 | Low |
| AMT LION | AmtTools | Debugger | 329786 When the AMT Debugger was connected to an Application Manager/Server, the Start and Restart Reports options were still enabled, and when they were executed, an error occurred. The options have now been disabled. |
FIX | AMT 77 | Medium |
| AMT COBOL | Runtime | Various | C2009-083 IBM and MicroFocus systems always reserve the last half byte of a BCD (COBOL: COMP-3) field for the sign. In unsigned fields this is filled with hex 'F'. AMT stored the 'F' but did not return it when the binary data was retrieved from the field. This problem was visible in the AMT Flat File Converter used in migration projects. In AMT COBOL it is not visible as the retrieved (unsigned) value or data from a structure always includes the half byte. With this fix the last half byte is returned for former IBM and MicroFocus environments. The File Converter now writes this correctly into the converted file. |
FIX | AMT 77 | Low |
| AMT COBOL | Runtime | Various | C2009-085 When the option 'Save copy of printfile in print folder' in the AMT Control Center was enabled, it was unclear which program created the print file. The name of the COBOL program is now part of the print file. |
CHANGE | AMT 77 | Low |
| AMT COBOL | Runtime | Various | C2009-086 Only for former Microfocus COBOL applications: Occasionally error 'TransactionCode not found' occurred, even if a valid TransactionCode had been entered, as not all sections of the TransactionServer were aware of the TransactionCode yet. This issue has been resolved by making the TransactionCode known to all sections of the TransactionServer. |
FIX | AMT 77 | Low |
| AMT LION | Runtime | AmtScreens | 329805 When AMT Screens RTQuery was opened, Oracle took a long time to read the tables, which sometimes led to time-outs. Oracle performance in reading tables in AMT Screens RTQuery has been improved by using a different optimizer, so that time-outs no longer occur. |
FIX | AMT 77 | Medium |
| AMT LION | Runtime | AmtScreens | 329806 In AMT Screens RTQuery, Edit did not work under the following circumstances: - A table was selected in Table mode, a switch was made to Query mode without the selection of an identity column and the mode was switched back to Table mode, - Query mode was used with the selection of an identity column, - a shortcut for a table was made in Query mode Editing records in the Query mode of RTQuery when using a shortcut for a table is now fully supported. |
FIX | AMT 77 | Medium |
| AMT COBOL | Runtime | Jobs/Batches | 329796 When the AMT File Controller was run as part of the AMT Batch Controller, finished COBOL programs still showed an open AMT File Controller connection in the AMT Control Center File Monitor with Client Type ListBox. This did not happen when the AMT File Controller ran standalone. The disposal of the connection in the COBOL program was processed in the wrong order and Disconnect was not called properly. With this change the AMT File Controller gets properly disconnected when running as part of the AMT Batch Controller. Also, a COBOL program does not create a connection of type ListBox anymore when disposing of the connection. |
FIX | AMT 77 | Low |
| AMT LION | Runtime | AmtScreens | 329754 / 329758 The Wait cursor was not reset and the form flickered annoyingly while a transmission was taking place. The Wait cursor is now set and reset at the correct moment for the whole application rather than for the form, and controls do not show their disabled state anymore when transmitting, thus preventing the flicker. |
FIX | AMT 77 | Low |
| AMT COBOL | Runtime | Various | C2009-091 The CALL .. USING .. GIVING .. statement gave an 'invalid number of arguments' parse error in the AMT Developer (former A-Series COBOL). The GIVING part of the statement was not taken into account, this has been resolved. |
FIX | AMT 77 | Low |
| AMT COBOL | Runtime | Various | C2009-092 The GIVING clause of the CALL statement caused runtime exceptions in the AMT runtime if it was used for calling 'shared' (sub)programs. The GIVING result parameter has now also been implemented for 'shared' (sub)programs. |
FIX | AMT 77 | Low |
| AMT LION | Developer | Revision Control | 329836 GetNewest for Locked objects didn't work: locked files were skipped if it was attempted to get the latest checked-in version of an object. Now the latest checked in version of the object is fetched and new files that have not been checked in are ignored. |
FIX | AMT 77 | Low |
| AMT LION | AMT COBOL | Runtime | Scripts | 329726 If a Powershell script was run inside the AMT Batch Controller, running another script in a second application could fail because the path of the first script was used. The use of a pool of Powershell hosts per application solves the internal Powershell issue of swapping the active script folder. |
FIX | AMT 77 | Low |
| AMT COBOL | Runtime | Various | C2010-017 In the situation of incorrect table versions in the application database - meaning that a REO was necessary- the AMT Transaction Server was not logging any error messages and kept running, which caused a 'hanging' application start up on the client side. An error message is now logged and the AMT Transaction Server shuts down automatically. |
FIX | AMT 77 | Low |
| AMT LION | AMT COBOL | AmtTools | Reo | 329845 AMT Reorganize threw an error if an index had conditions and the table was created with ANSI_NULLS OFF. This occurred when, for performance reasons, AMT Reorganize tried to build a filtered index, which does not combine with ANSI_NULLS OFF. The filtered index is not applied anymore in these cases. |
FIX | AMT 77 | Low |
| AMT COBOL | Runtime | Various | C2010-027 Exec Cics Delete with Generic and keylength equal to length of key didn't delete all the required records. Functionality has been changed to check for multiple records that meet the given key. |
