Fixes for DataGate/400 5.0 (5.1200.1.64)
-
Case 3893. When a particular data area exists and the installed license key is "unlimited", do not interact with the license manager
for validation and user counting.
-
Case 3347. Truncate text string to 49 characters.
-
Case 3317. Remove *EXCL lock on member upon close.
-
Case 3298. Copy no more than dgTextSize-1 characters of object text into dgDirectoryEntryEx structure. Also, prevent buffer overflow detection in getText, by accepting up to dgTextSize number of characters. This is required because putText may send up to that many characters, due to it adding the C-string null terminator character.
-
Case 2888. Disregard unimplemented ALTSEQ bit in key usage set.
-
Strdg8svr must run under *owner authority, not *user authority. This attribute got dropped in moving the build from ash to fig.
-
Case 2789. Specify field usage for concat fields.
-
Do not use misal on v5r2 because it can't generate v5r1 programs.
-
Case 2625. Remove invalid assert(). The assert() is invalid because IBM adds members to the structure between releases. Thus releases prior to the header file release (currently, v5r2) may use a smaller sized structures, so run-time byte counting is invalid.
-
dg400/ver5 port to ile c++.
-
Case 1899. Merge 7.x mod for server-side case sensitivity issue, since 7.x clients don't capitalize program path anymore.
