Product: UTL Directory
Version: 07.04
Date: September 11, 2007
Beginning with the 7.04 release, #FILES and .d00s are no longer supported by the
Reporter and Data Express.
1. New #CFILES replaces the .d00 files used as a Data Dictionary. A utility has been
added to DbMgr to convert either the old #FILES or the .d00 files to the new #CFILES.
Once converted, #CFILES will be used for DbMgr, ViewMgr, and the Reporter.
2. DbMgr
The "Utility" tab contains a new program to generate #CFILES.
A new "XML" button has been added to generate an XML representation of the data in a file.
Optionally, the data from linked files may be included. The file is created in the $CATEMP
folder.
3. ViewMgr
The ExView.exe program that interfaced to Excel has been eliminated. Instead a .csv file
is created and then launched.
4. DbLaunch
Corrected problem that could have caused DbLaunch to get into an endless loop for
non-CometAnywhere clients.
5. CmtHelpD
A new lookup subprogram has been added as a replacement to the CMHELP table lookup program.
This program uses a ListControl to allow the user to select the record whose primary key
field will be returned to the calling program. Use of this facility requires #CFILES.
The programmer's interface is defined in CmtHelpD.inc which can be found in the XTL release.
Changes in previous releases:
7.03
1. Changed all of the Data Express programs to transfer the .dll and any required
.bmp files to the workstation so they can be loaded locally. Previously this was
only done for CometAnywhere clients.
7.02
1. Removed CONDENS from QTILITY menu as it only supports file sizes up to 756.
2. ViewMgr
Implemented new method for loading initial list box which could speedup the process.
7.01
1. DosCopy
Eliminated E27 on "List" for keyonly files.
2. ViewMgr
Column headings were being truncated at position 132 on the output when listing to
a printer. This has been increased to 252.
3. The Reporter
The version of the Reporter that uses .ibr spec files now recognizes the verb SPACES
as well as SPACE.
4. QTILITY
In the event that TERM$ has been cleared and is therefore invalid for a foreground
partition, the QTILITY overlays will not be run.
