Problems Corrected in FOCUS 7709 Gen 1550

In this section:

The following problems were corrected in gen 1550.

FPRINT Function Fails With YY Format

Category: Functions

Case Number: 190828086.

Explanation:

The FPRINT function converts a field to its alphanumeric equivalent for display. When used with the format 'YY', the function was returning a blank. This has been fixed to return the alphanumeric representation of the YY value in FOCUS 7709 Gen 1550.

Using _FOC_MISSING in a Multi-select Filter Does Not Return Missing Values

Category: WHERE

Case Number: 190724078.

Explanation:

No missing values were found when a WHERE phrase used the _FOC_MISSING_ value as part of an OR condition. For example:

WHERE DEF1 EQ 'YES' OR '_FOC_MISSING'

This has been corrected in FOCUS 7709 Gen 1550.

Running FOCUS 7709 With zIIP Enabled Causes Intermittent Crashes

Category: System

Case Number: 190813082, 190205085.

Explanation:

Intermittent 0C4 and 0C6 abends occur when running FOCUS 7709 with SET ZIIP=ON.

This has been corrected in FOCUS 7709 Gen 1550. Customers who installed a prior gen of FOCUS 7709 and are running with zIIP enabled should upgrade to Gen 1550, even if they have not experienced any crashes.

Support for External Sort With SORTMATRIX=LARGE

Category: Sort

Case Number: 181127113.

Explanation:

SORTMATRIX=LARGE allows in-memory sorting of much larger reports than SORTMATRIX=SMALL. Originally, setting SORTMATRIX=LARGE automatically disabled the external sort. However, when the number of records exceeds the allowed memory usage established for SORTMATRIX=LARGE, the external sort has been found to be more efficient. Therefore, this project implements the external sort when the allowed memory usage for SORTMATRIX=LARGE is exceeded.
