The last few revisions of HP ALLBASE/BRW have concentrated on the integration
of TurboIMAGE Third Party Indexing (TPI) with BRW. BRW version A.01.54
introduced the support of TPI. In BRW version A.01.55, more TPI enhancements
were provided, as well as several defect repairs. In the latest version of
BRW, A.01.56, the main focus is a TPI defect repair.
This version of HP ALLBASE/BRW, A.01.56, fixes a TPI problem that was
introduced in version A.01.55. When using wildcard characters for the
Selection Set, the result shows that no records are found when data actually
exists. The TPI tracing mechanism shows the incorrect DBFIND mode
being used.
The other repair for version A.01.56, not related to TPI, corrects the
continuation spoolfile number when a report is split between multiple
spoolfiles.
In the previous version of HP ALLBASE/BRW, A.01.55, three enhancements and
miscellaneous defect repairs were included. Among these enhancements were two
new JCWs: BRWSQLTIMEOUT and BRWTPITRACE.
BRWSQLTIMEOUT is given a value that is the number of minutes the BRW
SELECT statement waits before timing out. A special value of 65535 causes BRW
to wait indefinitely. BRWTPITRACE displays the TPI tracing
information to $STDLIST. The third enhancement in A.01.55 was to enhance the
TPI selection algorithm. If more than one BRW condition matches a TPI key, the
BRW condition that appears first in the compiler listing is used. If two TPI
keys start with the same BRW condition, the longer key is used.
