Inform/V has been enhanced to support the Dictionary/3000 version A.03.00 enhancements. Version A.11.01 of Inform/V is now capable of handling multiple items with the same primary name in an HP Inform group. The alias names for the same primary item must be unique.

The Dictionary/3000 enhancement allows the definition of duplicate primary items in an HP Inform group within the dictionary. Whereas the Inform/V enhancement allows these group items to be selected and reported on as defined by the dictionary. Recompilation of Inform reports is not needed for this Inform/V release.

HP ALLBASE/BRW

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.
