Job ID

Description

1680

Allow the ESLPR initialization file to be in the current directory.

1711

Additional ESL Data Services samples.

1683 1712 1732 1735 1739

Various improvements to the EslEdit development tool, to ensure the navigation and parsing processes allow the User to locate the specified routine, action or file.

1700

Null parameters can be set when processing an array statement in ESLODBC by specifying the configured null string when inputting parameter values using the "AVAL" command.

1701

The ODBC version of SQL Wizard can be accessed from the Tools menu of EslEdit.

1703

The ODBC local application ESLODBC now supports the additional commands;
AUTOCOMMIT {ON/OFF}

COMMIT

ROLLBACK

This allows the ESL application to control database updates for each transaction. The ODBC default is to auto commit every update, which would result in an inconsistent database if multiple tables needed updating for a single transaction.

1714

The LocalTst sample now implements the ESLODBC local application, allowing Developers to experiment by manually inputting commands and SQL statements  before including them in an ESL application's source code.

1722

Increased buffer size for error messages returned by the ODBC driver, when "verbose" is switched on.

1724

Cache all array statements within the ESLODBC local applications, so they are only prepared and variables bound once during the ESL applications session to improve SQL processing performance.

1729

New Sample "EaselArt" supplied that demonstrates the drawing of various images. Each image is coded within separate "include file", so Developers can freely add any of the images to their ESL Application.

1738

The include file "ESLCMSRV_EX.INC" that contained routines to process the visible fields within a 3270/5250 screen has been merged into the main ESLCMSRV.INC include file. This reduces the number of files that have to be maintained.

1747

The watch command string passed to the EcsWatch or EcsWatchAndWait is now recorded in the ECS log, if the LogFlags parameter in the active ESLCMSRV.INI file is set to Log Entries (i.e. the 4 bit is set). As the watch string may contain several commands, each command is displayed individually to aid debugging of synchronisation issues.
