MANASYS
Jazz Build 16.4.257.
Minor Enhancements to Easytrieve Conversion
Summary
This build makes minor enhancements to Easytrieve Conversion
functions.
Detail
1.
#,
@, and $ are substituted correctly, at any position in the field name.
2.
Working
Storage definitions do not have filler inserted to fill to the record length
specified in the File definition.
3.
If
DSNAME is omitted, JCL is generated with a DD statement, using
DSNAME=&&Filename
4.
If
complex conditions can’t be converted by the Conversion Notepad, then message
#681 is produced, and this message includes a link to a help page that tells
you how to fix the problem. The Conversion
Notepad will have converted the code to invalid Jazz, for example
IF ACCOUNT NE
0701 0716 0726 0711 0721 0731 0741
becomes
IF ACCOUNT NOTIN(0701,0716,0726,0711,0721,0731,0741);
#681 S
Condition will need to be edited. See https://tinyurl.com/2p887j7r
5. Long names (e.g. a Procedure name
exceeding 30 characters) are truncated so that COBOL is valid without producing
COBOL compile messages.
6. FOR loops: message #672 is not
produced for a valid FOR statement.
Like #681, #682 has a link to a web page explaining the problem and how
to fix it.
7. END IF is not changed to END ROUTINE
IF
8. Convert REPORT as Routine is handled
correctly, whether there is a final END or not.
