Fix history

All tools
  • National language support has been expanded to include Japanese, Korean, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese. The help documentation for Classic Data Architect supports Japanese and Simplified Chinese.

ODBC/CLI driver
  • Error message "[IBM DB2® II][ODBC/CLI Driver] SQLTables - Error code: x00560075. Invalid TableType parameter." was issued from the ODBC/CLI driver when the following TableTypes are passed to SQLTables. The drivers now allow these values to be passed
    • SYSTEM VIEW
    • SYSTEM SYNONYM
    • SYSTEM ALIAS

JDBC driver and Classic Data Architect
  • The cacjdbc21.jar file has been updated to properly process the 1026 codepage. Turkish characters now display correctly.

Classic Data Architect
  • Parsing the DBD no longer fails when the root doesn't contain a PHYSICAL=0 clause.
  • Offsets have been corrected when you generate and run DDL from a CA-Datacom table located on the server.
  • The update wizard allows periods in the MQ value specifications.
  • The Delete publications and publication queues confirmation window displays the names of the publications and queues to be deleted.
  • COBOL binary integer data was mapped to SMALLINT or INTEGER. Now it is mapped to DECIMAL(p,s). For example, PIC 999V99 COMP is mapped to DECIMAL(5,2).
