CosH
1. The session number shown in PSTAT for a background partition is now initialized to 0.
Previously it was blank.
2. CopyFile error 39 is now ignored. This simply indicates that the file is located on
a remote computer.
3. A crash which could have been caused by KeyStat has been eliminated.
4. E30 is now once again issued on the open of a ? printer if user clicks CANCEL. This
behavior was broken in version .386.
5. DSTAT of a device whose name was not in uppercase now works correctly.
6. Num2Date option 5 has been corrected to return the date corresponding to the date
id supplied. This was broken in build version .389.
CosP
1. The (Document=) mnemonic will now accept a full pathname as an alternative to a
Comet file name and directory name. This will be useful if the destination path is
not a CFAM directory. When using this option, use a null value for the second
parameter:
print (Document="\\SERVER\MyDocs\Invoice for ABC.pdf","")
CosW
1. Changes required for support of the new IB Windows API function COS.TrackMenuEx which
provides popup menu execution for .dll-based dialog programs.
Changes in previous releases:
Build 389
CosH
1. New relational operators CONTAINS and SOUNDSLIKE have been added to the IB instruction set.
2. When an EXIT occurs the parent's EVENTSUB is now restored to value it had before the ENTER.
3. PSTAT now returns the task id in decimal in positions 212-215.
4. NUM2DATE has a new date-mode that will return the system time in the
format HH:MM:SS.mmm. The new date-mode is 6.
5. NUM2DATE for date-modes 4 & 5 now ignore the serial parameter since the value returned is
always based on the current date and time. Previously a serial number < 01/01/1900 would
return nothing.
6. A problem with the csv read has been corrected. If one of the delimited fields was null
the following field was corrupted.
Comet32
1. New relational operators CONTAINS and SOUNDSLIKE have been added to the IB instruction set.
Comet Explorer
1. The method of acquiring the user's dabs has been changed. Use of the standard security
QMONITOR is no longer required to use the Comet Explorer utilities. This change requires
the CMONITOR from REL 8.02.
2. Now inherits the user's dynamically accessed dabs.
3. DirBuild now has an option to delete a file when scanning the directory for errors.
Build 388
CosH
1. New FILE statement option to easily read/write text files in .csv format.

4. Type "N" directories are no longer allowed.
CosC
1. Corrected a problem that could have caused CosC to crash when a user disconnects.
