A new configuration item has been added to enable IPv6.

The listener now supports SSL. Clients connecting to this listener when SSL is enabled cannot be older versions (12 GA or earlier).

Default value handling was incorrect

When the LANSA install configuration was restructured, connect was not updated to locate the local license file, it was always using the shared license file. This has now been corrected
NOTE: This only effects seated licenses

Import of development tables will now be skipped on Linux systems, instead of causing a fatal error.

IBM introduced a defect in V5R4 (and it continued in V6R1). They have fixed it in the following PTFs:
V5R4: SI39059
V6R1: SI38777

User Action: Apply the appropriate IBM i PTF

MESSAGE commands for Web functions or WAMs no longer generate event log messages for Windows.

A new intrinsic, Week, has been added for Date fields. 
WeekNumber and StartOfWeek properties have been added to the Calendar control.

Web pre-start jobs: Ready To Use minimum and maximum values have been increased from 3 digits to 4 digits to allow setting a value up to 9999.

The option to "Include Generated Source" is no longer supported in the package settings. This option was used to support deployment to Linux but is redundant since inclusion of Deliver to Linux functionality in V11 SP5.

When a file that has been compiled with DB Triggers enabled is imported on IBM i, the OS/400 triggers for the file will now be added.

Enable DOCTYPE (DTD declarations) in WAMs to allow standards mode in IE7/IE8

For example: Unexpected type (12) for SUNI field (column SUN2CHR03) Routine : Derive_Column_Map_from_Func

This only occurred if fields that were not SUNI were added after a CLOB SUNI field, and the file was rebuilt with data unloaded and reloaded.

User Action: Rebuild OAM for files that have a SUNI CLOB, before rebuilding with unload/reload data.

When using the Translation Interface to translate LANSA objects descriptions and multilingual variable values, if the translated value entered is longer than the base description or value the text is highlighted in red to make this obvious to the translator.

Message in the compile log is: I/O module compile error - field <fldname> not in data dictionary.

1. Display variables in character mode by default so more variables can be shown on the breakpoint panel.
2. Change F20=Select All to toggle between Select All and Omit All when choosing / reviewing variables to show at breakpoints. Function key is now F20=Sel/OmtAll, and when this function key is used the choose / review variables to show at breakpoints panel is shown with the results of the function key.
3. Change F20=Select All to toggle between Select All and Omit All when choosing / reviewing RDML breakpoints. Function key is now F20=Sel/OmtAll, and when this function key is used the choose / review RDML breakpoints panel is shown with the results of the function key.

These 5250 debugger enhancements are in addition to the following enhancements delivered in EPC851 by 0140001

Web Function browse lists can now display DataTime fields of length other than 29.

Error message shown: "ODBC Column length less than returned field size"

This occurs when the SUNI field has a DBCS keyboard shift like keyboard shift O, which is recommended for SUNI fields so that the field can contain up to the maximum number of characters requested in the Field Length. That is, the field length is the number of characters, not bytes. With keyboard shift O specified, more bytes may be in the field than the total number of characters when it contains DBCS. If so, the error occurs.

Runtime check was stopping transfers to a LOB serving webroutine.
This defect has been corrected.

This defect has now been corrected.

Avoid creating the hidden division to contain hidden lists if there are none in the webroutine.

After changing a user's password on the IBM i and performing a sys init of PC users, you cannot log into the IDE with the user and new password. This issue is fixed and sys init will update IDE with correct user and new password.

This defect has been corrected

User Action:  Rebuild OAMs (on system i) for LANSA files that have long char/binary/string/varbinary columns that are created as LOB types on system i (and require SQL to be used at run time for INSERT, DELETE, etc). Only required for files that have had their OAM rebuilt with version 11 SP5 after EPC845, or version 12 after EPC851.

This defect has been corrected.

This defect has been corrected.

The Japanese message file DC@M01 with appropriate severity code has been included.

New Remote System automatically proceeds to Partition Initialisation dialog if the associated checkbox is selected when created a Linux Remote System.

When a report produced by an RDMLX function on iSeries contains printer instructions in the form of unprintable characters, when the horizontal tab character (X'05') is encountered it will no longer be replaced by a number of blanks.

Access violation in odbc32.dll when SQL Server connection has been dropped by SQL Server for no apparent reason. In SuperServer it may be seen as a hang, but the access violation has already occurred. The fix is to stop all further database IO when a database fatal error has occurred.

USE_SINGLE_CONNECTION defaulted to YES

Screen designer issue fixed where clicking an element when in a scrolled panel could cause the element to be assigned incorrect line\col information.

Checkout of SELECT_SQL FIELDS SQL Source retains quotes when the 1st character is "-".
Checkout of '''X''' in SELECT_SQL FIELDS SQL source will retain the triple quoting for the X to be interpreted as a literal by SQL.
Checkout of 'X' in SELECT_SQL FIELDS SQL source will retain the single quoting for the X to be interpreted as a column name by SQL.
Checkout of X in SELECT_SQL FIELDS SQL source will add single quotes for the X to still be interpreted as a column name by SQL. Further checkin/checkout will retain the single quoting.
 

Package including an application icon was actually correctly created but an erroneous fatal error was being issued. This has be resolved.

Now you can send the content of a string as a LOB.

Screen design issue fixed where entering UserKeys via the property sheet grid view would cause the Editor to fail.

In an RDMLX partition with *SQL_BUILD the checkin and compile of a file without a primary key now no longer fails in the Label on processing.

This defect has now been corrected.

When a function is attempting to use the STM_FILE_WRITE BIF on IBM i to write characters that are not in 7 bit ASCII ('A'-'Z', 'a'-'z', '0'-'9' and a few other characters) to a stream file in UTF-8 (CCSID 1208) then the full amount of data is now written.

This defect has now been corrected.

Note that the install does not yet support the detection of this compiler. In order to use this the registry entry:
LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Lansa\MicrosoftCompiler\Enabled
must be set to 0 (FALSE) after LANSA has been installed.

This disables the use of the LANSA-shipped Microsoft compiler.

Also, the Microsoft C runtime DLLs to support this version are not installed by LANSA. When Visual Studio 2010 is installed, it installs these DLLs. But, in order to deploy your LANSA application you will need to deploy these DLLs yourself. Refer to Microsoft documentation for more details.

SELECT_SQL RDML commands with long literals and embedded quotes in the FIELDS SQL source are no longer truncated during checkout.

The package build has been modified to issue a warning instead of a fatal error if an associated .ctd file is missing from a package with "Deploy with Translation List" selected.

*SRVPGM W3S1000 is in 2 different libraries in LANSA for iSeries V12 system

The redundant version in the program library has been removed. The version in the communications library is the correct version.

When a function is compiled without both *RPGIV AND *ILE defined in data area DC@OSVEROP, use of MAIL_ADD_TEXT in RDML functions on IBM i no longer fails

On IBM i, when a function is imported without the compiled process, if the process is subsequently executed via the LANSA X_RUN command then it failed indicating that the process was not compiled. For example, this may occur when submitting another function in the same process as the function that was imported.
This defect has been corrected.

This defect has been corrected.

Excessive decimal places are now truncated.

If nothing is sent to stdout, jsmdirect will report this as an error if running against a Linux V12 or later LANSA system

When a task is selected in the object selection dialog, all objects supported by the deployment tool, including components, which are locked to the task are added to the package.

User Action: All packages that deliver the V12 runtime will need to be recreated.

The XSL Editor inline list handler no longer crashes when an incorrect value is entered into the details tab.

If an incorrect value is entered an error message is shown. Please review the error and correct it before continuing.

An example of an incorrect value is a string without a closing quote, eg, 'hello, world

Entering XPath expressions directly into the details tab, ie, not using the XPath Editor, can also make what looks like a correct XPath expression be an incorrect value.

When entering XPath expressions it is recommended to use the XPath Editor located below the details area.

1. System name column has been expanded to show longer names and a visual cue to indicate names that can't be shown in full.
2. IP addresses are now normalized before being stored.

If you tried to add a duplicate system/port entry, the program wouldn't allow you but the error message wouldn't show.

IPv6 support for VL IDE Debugger is now working for Windows Vista or later.

Enable DOCTYPE (DTD declarations) in WAMs to allow standards mode in IE7/IE8

Hidden columns would make scrollbars appear in the printed page possibly causing some rows to not show up.

Allow 50 characters for web server name in configuration of IIS Plug-in and Apache Module

The EPC log file on IBMi, DC@FEP, will now hold EPCs by product option.
BAS = base LANSA
INT = Integrator
VLF = Visual LANSA Framework.
The EPC Log display (which can be viewed from the LANSA ABOUT then F10) will now show this information.
This change will allow more accurate checking of EPC relationships in the loading and pre-requisites of EPCs and in the EPC checking done in Client/Server connections.
Any data in file DC@FEP will be converted to the new format.
After the conversion of file DC@FEP if you install previously issued Integrator EPC835 or VLF EPC843 they will be registered with their appropriate product/option code.

An IBM i S/36 file with a '.' in the record format name can now be loaded as an Other File in the Visual LANSA IDE.

The translation tool can now be deployed as a standalone application

Hidden fields are not displayed in the XSL Editor's Web designer.

IE8 is no longer displaying help design borders for those HTML elements which do not already have borders, either via a border attribute or via CSS border settings, as it used to do in previous versions of IE. Therefore the XSL Editor will simulate design borders for IE8. When the mouse is over an HTML element, when performing a drag operation or moving the mouse, the XSL Editor will temporarily show a design border around the HTML element that the mouse is over. As soon as the mouse moves away from the HTML element the design border will disappear. In some cases, such as tables, design borders will also be applied to the parent HTML element, such as table and the table cell (<td> or <th>) that the mouse is currently over.

Fields with either the FUNX or FUNU output attribute will now blank out the characters beyond the first seven when inserted or updated by an RDML function on IBM i.

User Action: 
Recompile any I/O modules for files containing fields with FUNX or FUNU output attributes. In addition recompile functions that have any of the function options *DBOPTIMISE, *DBOPTIMIZE, *DBOPTIMISE_BATCH or *DBOPTIMIZE_BATCH.

In non-IE browsers, a List Box weblet with multi-select on does not remember the initial selected items passed to it from the webroutine. It renders them correctly and any user interaction with the list will fix the issue but, if the user does not interact with the list, the selected values are not re-submitted to the next webroutine.

Orphaned Web Jobs are now detected and cleaned up corrrectly.

Fixed to clean up DC@W19 correctly when using <RDML MERGE="&END">

Navigation panel wouldn't load in Chrome (Note: the asynchronous loading property must be "True"). This defect has now been rectified

Fields which are hidden are no longer displayed.

Help border is now shown around HTML tags when the mouse hovers over an element which does not have all borders defined. Note that help borders are not drawn around XSL tags etc, just around HTML tags.

1. New Function key to select all variables on Choose Variables screen
2. New functiion key to step next on main debug screen while debugging
3. New function key on main debug screen to hide / show variables so that more lines of RDML can be seen.
