IMPORTANT NOTICE

The online distribution of OpenVMS and related product patches is being migrated to the HP ITRC (Information Technology Resource Center) patch distribution site. The new ITRC patch server will allow OpenVMS customers to take advantage of many enhanced features for patch searching and distribution.

Beginning August 1, 2003, OpenVMS and related Layered Product, publicly available patches will be available from the HP ITRC web site at

http://itrc.hp.com/service/patch/mainPage.do

The same patches will still be available from the existing patch server in Colorado Springs (http://www.support.compaq.com/patches/) through the end of October 2003, to give customers sufficient time to update their bookmarks and make the transition to the HP ITRC web site.

ECO kits will also be available by raw FTP from (ftp://ftp.itrc.hp.com/).

PLEASE UPDATE YOUR BOOKMARKS AND REGISTER ON THE NEW SITE NOW

Note: if you're having trouble connecting to the ITRC site, please delete any cookies for "itrc.hp.com" from your browser and try again. Report any difficulties with or suggestions to MrVMS

    ECO KIT SUMMARY:
    
    An ECO (patch) kit exists for DEC COBOL V1.1 for OpenVMS AXP
    on OpenVMS AXP V1.5 or higher. This kit addresses the following
    problems:
    
    o A problem which caused numeric comparisons between small
    USAGE COMP and usage DISPLAY items to fail has been corrected.
    
    o A problem with the COMPUTE ROUNDED statement when used with
    floating point numbers has been corrected. Rounding is now
    correctly performed by this statement.
    
    o Several problems dealing with the use of the EBCDIC alphabet
    have been corrected. These problems could cause incorrect
    comparison behavior.
    
    o A problem where a COMPUTE statement that contained several
    division operators gave incorrect results has been corrected.
    
    o A problem that caused the compiler to abort with an ASSERTION
    error that mentioned an 'Invalid picpointer' has been corrected.
    
    o A problem that caused READ statements on INDEXED files to fail
    when optimization was enabled has been corrected.
    
    o A REPORT WRITER problem with summary reports has been corrected.
