Title:Two problems in the RM/COBOL 2.0+ Novell Runtime.
Two problems have been discovered in all versions of the Novell
RM/COBOL Runtimeversion 2.0 and above.
The first problem is in the patching of RUNCOBOL.RUN with the
RMCONFIG UTILITY(RMCNFG.COB). This process disables the
multi-user flag. This flag can bere-enabled by changing address 6F0F
from 00 to 01 in "RUNCOBOL.RUN" by using the RMPATCH UTILITY
"RMPTCH.COB". This patch will return the runtime to multiuser use.
(This patch can also be performed using the DOS DEBUG utility at
address 700F.)
The second problem has to do with the DOS return code not being
correctly returned upon completion of the program. The DOS return
code can be set by the COBOL statement:
STOP RUN <n>
Where <n> is the value of the return code. This value is useful if
execution of the program was initiated from a batch file, and the
result of program execution is used to determine the branch of
further execution. This capability is made available through the DOS
batch file command:
IF ERROR LEVEL <n> <command>
The initial release of RM/COBOL version 2.0+ does not allow for the
DOS return code to be passed back properly. A new version of the
file "RCOBOL.COM" isavailable to correct this problem. It can be
ordered from Novell under the following part number: 125-13-001. Use
this update for all versions of the Novell RM/COBOL runtime 2.0 and
above.
The complete release diskette is also being modified to include this
correction.
