Version 1.4.1 |
RENTPGM=PROTECT.
MLI handled programs linked with the Rent attribute are now
supported when RENTPGM=PROTECT is specified in the CICS SIT table.
Prior to 141, users had to use NOPROTECT or link the programs with
NORENT. This is applicable to CICS release 4.1 and up. |

Version 1.4.0 |
Automatic program detection.
This new feature, when set to YES in the 2.1 menu, will have MLI
automatically exclude program names that do not start with valid
assembler instructions such as mapsets or assembler tables. This
greatly reduces the program identification process as unwanted
programs will not be included by MLI. |
|
Exclude character can be customized.
In the 2.1 menu, there is a new parameter that permits the user to
choose his exclude character. The default is the ¬ (not) sign. |
|
CICS/TS Command level stub length
support. C-L Programs
compiled with the new CICS/TS stubs that need to be included in MLI
are now supported as is. |
|
CICS/VSE and CICS/TS (for VSE) support.
MLI has been reworked to function with the new releases of CICS on
VSE. |
|
New program name prefixes in the Macro
List menu. It is now possible
to include programs in the PPT of MLI without MLI attaching a stub
by prefixing the name with the < sign in the 2.2. menu. It is also
possible to force a program to be handled by MLI by prefixing the
name with the > sign. This can be useful when a program is
excluded by the Automatic program detection feature. |
|
Support of RENTPGM=PROTECT for MLI
handled programs. With
previous releases, users had to code rentpgm=noprotect in the SIT if
the program was to be handled by MLI and was linkedited with the
RENT option such as COBOL2 programs with statically linked macro
assembler subroutines. |
|
New MLI SVC.
A new replacement SVC is introduced with the MLI 140 version.
Previous releases of MLI will work the new SVC as it is upward
compatible. |
|
Support for links to DFHSNP.
This version includes MLI 131 fix 053 which introduced support for
CICS SIGNON done by user applications linking to DFHSNP. |
|
|
Version 1.3.1 |
Support for macro calls in COBOL 2 and
COBOL/MVS (LE) programs.
MLI now supports COBOL 2 and COBOL/MVS(LE) programs calling
imbedded assembler sub-routines containing macro level calls.
Command level calls such as EXEC CICS ADDRESS CSA, CWA are
intercepted by MLI and are returned the appropriate fields. |
|
4 digits year on MLI menus.
MLI menus now show 4 digits year on all its menus. |
|
. PTFs up Z130010 are included. |
|
|
Version 1.3.0 |
Simplified Exclude/Include menu.
All entries are now on the same menu. Exclude entries are preceded
with the ¬ sign. |
|
. More performance for pure Command
Level applications. The
optional DIRECT-LINK function of MLI is enhanced to support for
Command Level program links. Pure Command Level applications can now
also benefit from the 20-60 % CPU reduction. |
|
. NEW 31 BITS RESIDENCY (2 products in
one). This separately priced
option offers the possibility to run Macro & Command Level
applications above the 16 Megabyte line. This option supports for
BAL, COBOL, COBOL2 , PL/1 programs and BMS maps. |
|
Easier debugging.
A new menu Display/Alter Core utility includes displays of
MLI related control blocks like CSA, CWA, DCT, PCT, PPT and TCT. |
|
Quick access to MLI messages.
With option 9 from the main menu, users can now see the MLI messages
sent to the console. |
|
YEAR 2000 Date Simulator product
support. All versions of MLI
run in Year 2000. Products simulating a different date by CICS
terminals could not test Macro Level applications adequately with
date simulator products. |
|
. MLI Storage Reserved Stats.
With option 6.7, users can now monitor the benefits of using the
Storage Reserved option of MLI. |
|
MLI Table storage usage.
With option 8 from the main menu, users can monitor the effect of
their table definitions. |
|
CICS/ESA default security keys.
CICS users without security software can pre-define security keys to
be set in the MLI SNT. The PTF Z120070 is no longer required. |
|
. Dynamic tables capability for DCT,
FCT, PCT, TCT. Users of CTYPE=LOCATE
required sometimes optional programs like MLIZCPCT, MLIZCTCT to be
in PLT with version pre 130. The optional programs are replaced with
online menus. |
