| General |
- Faxing support via
the Internet has been added to the system through
the *PLUSFAX* file. This system file allows
for the direct printing of reports for delivery
by Fax to the specified fax number with optional
cover sheet generation.
- Direct access to
MySQL databases was added using the native
database access routines and the new "[MYSQL]"
pathname identifier. This interface is
compatible with the existing ODBC, Oracle and DB2
interfaces but allows access to MySql tables on
both Windows and Unix/Linux systems. (This is a
chargeable add-on)
- The Windows Trace
window has been enhanced to output a trace of all
SQL commands issued by the system when running
against a database.
- The INPUT Directive validation rules have
been further enhanced with this build to include
support for substrings and array elements in
order to assist in conversions of text based
Thoroughbred® applications.
- Background images
are now supported within NOMADS allowing the
application designer to define images (pictures)
that will be used as a backdrop for the
application panel.
- A new Hyperlink style
button allows for the easy definition of
buttons that will appear like standard text-only
Web page links.
|
| |
|
| Directives |
- Allowed the
application to include default values on the ENTER Directive in order to simplify the
programming of common routines.
- A new SYSTEM_JRNL BEGIN
AUTO directive has been added to
support Dynamic Auto-commits of database
transactions. This feature helps to assure that
all updates are synchronized and improves the
speed of processes that issue multiple updates.
|
| |
|
| Functions |
- An IDENTIFIER_QUO
option was added to the FIN function to provide the
character(s) used to surround identifiers based
on the database in use.
- An OWNER
option was also added to the FIN function to provide the object
number that 'Owns' a file.
|
| |
|
| Mnemonics |
- The Mnemonics 'F+' and
'F-' have been added to control the
automatic background filling of fonted,
check_box, and radio button text.
|
| |
|
| Parameters |
- A new System parameter
'47' was added to the system that will
emulate the error 47 suppression logic found in
Thoroughbred®. Use of this parameter
eliminates the need to manually review all IF
statements when doing a conversion.
|
| |
|
| Properties |
- Added the 'CurrentItem
property to Variable drop
and list box controls to indicate the current
selection from the list.
|
| |
|
| Utilities |
- Enhanced the named
window emulation logic to use objects tied to
windows in order to assure that the named windows
table was properly maintained in the Thoroughbred® conversion utilities (*conv.tbd/window).
- Improved the screen
design for Dependancy definitions in NOMADS
|
| |
|
| Corrections |
- Added logic to the DIR
command to display an error message if invoked
from a non-graphical terminal
- Corrected file
locking for INSERT, UPDATE
and various other directives to assure proper
data file locking on Unix/Linux.
- The printing of
pictures has been corrected to work when running
under WINE in Linux.
- Corrected Daylight
Savings time on SAVE directive
so that the date/time stamps in program headers
are correct.
- Improved FINPUT
emulator for better handing of some of the edit
mode attributes.
