Release Notes Home Basic™ VIP Suite/Tbredcomm™ Report-IV™ to PDF TS DataServer™
This page covers: OPENworkshop, Dictionary-IV®, Script-IV™, Report-IV™, Query-IV™, Source-IV™, and T-Web™/XML DataServer™.

Enhancements

General

  1. Dictionary-IV: Format maintenance will no longer allow mixed case data-names.
  2. Script-IV: The Script-IV compiler will now utilize the standard OPENworkshop debugger. This will provide a more meaningful presentation of the error and enhance debug capability.
  3. Script-IV: The create Data/Sort file routine will now post to the error log with more meaningful information for ERR=98 and ERR=99
  4. VIEW F8 Export: When the CGV variable “VIEW_EXPORT” is set it will be used as a file suffix for the exported file.
    Example: When the export file name is /usr/lib/basic/IDL4/UTCUST.txt setting X$=CGV(“VIEW_EXPORT”,“tbred”) will save the export file as /usr/lib/basic/IDL4/tbred_UTCUST.txt.
  5. Report-IV: A new utility has been added to read through all Report-IV definitions scanning for RUN program_name. This utility is intended to help in the transition from older Report-IV definitions where the RUN command was supported to OPENworkshop where RUN is no longer supported. From the OPENworkshop Upgrade Administration menu select Report RUN Scan. Instructions are available on line by pressing <F6>.
