Release Notes for IBM Classic Data Architect version 9.1 Interim Fix 0006

(c) IBM Corporation 2008. All rights reserved.

About this fix

Problem 1: The Adabas wizard generates multiple arrays for a MU or PE field. This occurs when a user has selected arrays and navigates to the summary pages of the wizard and then goes back to make a column/field selection change. The generated DDL is incorrect.

Symptom: The DDL generated has two BEGINLEVEL statements for the same level with only one ENDLEVEL.

Fix: The wizard no longer generates duplicate arrays.

Repair: Tables with this problem must be re-mapped.

Problem 2: When an IDMS subschema contains a SET but does not contain all the members of the SET, parsing stops when the first non-existent MEMBER is reached.

Symptom: MEMBERs that are part of the subschema are missing from SETs on the IDMS wizard path selection page.

Fix: MEMBERs which are part of the SET but not part of the subschema are skipped.

Problem 3: IDMS wizard incorrectly parses an 88 level field with a VALUE clause containing decimal data. IDMS clause, "ELEMENT NAME SYNONYM FOR LANGUAGE 'PL/I' IS.." is sent to the COBOL parser.

Symptom: COBOL parsing errors occur when processing an IDMS schema with 88 fields containing a VALUE clause with decimal numbers.

Fix: Wizard modified to correctly parse VALUE clauses containing decimals.
