|
Release 5.1 |
Increased field names from 25 to 30 characters to match the
maximum field name lengths allowed by COBOL and PL/I. |
|
|
Added an optional password field to each map’s parameter screen.
It can be a view password or an update password. |
|
|
Improved
the MAPR-generated BMS macros and the assembled map load modules
by including the actual, full-length field names on the DFHMDF
macro (if parm User Names = Y). This is helpful for web
applications that use the 3270 Bridge, HostBridge, etc. because
these full-length field names are included in the load module’s
Application Data Structure Descriptor (ADSD). |
|
|
Withdrew support for CICS/ESA version 4.1. |
|
|
Various other maintenance. |
|
Download CICS/Mapr II 5.1 upgrade |
|
|
Release 5.0 |
Improves directory
screen with more information and functionality including date,
time and user-id of the last change made to each map. Adds
new functions from the directory: Edit, Browse, Test, Copy and
Delete. |
|
|
Adds edits to
ensure only one user at a time can update a map preventing one
user’s changes from being overlaid by another user’s updates to
the same map. Multiple users can browse the map while
another user is updating it. Adds an unlock capability to
the Administration screen to unlock a map being updated by a
user that is unavailable, in case that map must be changed by
someone else.
|
|
|
Adds support for
the DFHWBOUT (WeB OUTput) macro, which generates customized HTML
from TEMPLATE map assemblies. Aids in web-enabling legacy
BMS maps for use with the 3270 Bridge. |
|
|
New B-Browse
function on the main menu and the directory screen. Browse
allows a user to look at a map without updating its last-changed
statistics. It also allows browse access while another
user is updating the map. |
|
|
Expands PICIN and
PICOUT maximum field lengths from 20 to 40 bytes to allow for
the larger numeric fields possible with today’s compilers.
|
|
|
Adds new warning
messages when a variable field is not named, when a constant
field is named, or when a field exceeds the BMS maximum of 256
bytes.
|
|
|
Various other
fixes and enhancements |
|
|
Release 4.9 |
Corrected how the Delete, Insert, and
End keys work. On the 4.8 paint screen these keys affect the
rest of the map. On the 4.9 paint screen these keys just affect
the rest of the line, as expected. |
|
|
Enabled a map to be changed properly
from a model 5 terminal. This does not work correctly in release
4.8. |
|
|
Eliminated a potential problem with
copybooks generated for two-dimensional arrays by eliminating "HV"
as a valid option for the DIR. field. |
|
|
Release 4.8 |
Added support for horizontal and
two-dimensional arrays. |
|
|
Added support for fields starting in
column 1. |
|
|
Added support for (long) fields that
wrap around from one line to the next line or lines. |
|
|
Added a new program (MAPPM08) for
converting BMS source macros that were created by the CICS/MAPGEN
product. |
|
|
Added warnings in this manual
and on map image paint help screen 4 concerning the use of the
Delete, Insert, and Erase EOF/End keys while on the map image
paint screen. See section 3.3. |
|
|
Release 4.7 |
Added programs MAPP930 and MAPP940 for
CICS 3.3 and up. Upper case translation on/off. |
|
Added a provision for "GRPNAME=" on
field definitions. |
|
Expanded date fields on reports and
screens to include 4 digit year (mm/dd/ccyy). |
|
Added program MAPPG08 to handle BMS
source input created by BMS/GT. |
|
Changed MAPP010 to correctly convert
BMS source created by CICS/MAPGEN. |
|
Added program MAPPF08 to handle BMS
source input created by Micro Focus. |
|
|
Release 4.6 |
Added provision for SO/SI creation to
indicate that fields can contain a mixture of single and double
byte character set (DBCS) data. |
|
Changed MAPP100 to not automatically
lose updates in progress if master file is closed to CICS |
|
Removed program MAPP920. |
|
|
Release 4.5 |
Added new program MAPP103. |
|
Added new transaction MAPP. |
|
Added new mapset MAPMPNT. |
|
Added the capability for copying or
moving individual fields or groups of fields on the painted
screen. |
|
Dropped support for CICS 1.6.x. |
|
Supports CICS 1.7.x, 2.x.x, 3.x.x,
4.x.x. |
|
|
Release 4.4 |
Revised MAPP008 to handle BMS macros
generated by conversion utilities from IBM's SDF or SDF/II. All
BMS macros from SDF or SDF/II must now be input to MAPP008. |
|
Added a new CICS/MAPR II system
parameter 'PRINT NOGEN'. A value of 'Y' will cause 'PRINT NOGEN'
to be generated in the BMS source macros (program MAPP030). A
value of 'N' will cause the 'PRINT NOGEN' to not be generated. |
|
Added a new CICS/MAPR II system
parameter 'Stopper Length'. This parameter determines the field
length (0 or 1) of the field delimiters (stopper bytes). |
|
|
Release 4.3 |
Added a new batch program, MAPP008,
which reformats BMS macros produced by the IBM SDF/II conversion
utility into a format which MAPP010 can handle. |
|
Added a REPLACE option for loading
maps to the master file using program MAPP020. It can be used to
replace maps with the same name which already exist on the
master file. |
|
Changed BMS conversion program MAPP010
to handle 'wrap-around' fields (fields which start on one line
and continue to the next line). |
|
|
Release 4.2 |
Enhanced the copy and move functions
on the painted screen to maintain field definitions when lines
are copied or moved. |
|
Added options to the Administration
Menu to turn uppercase translation on or off. |

|
Changed the LOAD option of the batch
map utility program to allow individual maps to be loaded to the
master file. |
|
|
Release 4.0 |
Added a new function to test send a
map defined on the master file. The map does not have to be
assembled before tested. |
|
Added a map demo facility allowing
users to prototype screens in sequence to simulate production
use. |
|
Added a new field definition screen to
allow field attributes, extended attributes, PICIN and PICOUT
specifications for each field, including literals and variables. |
|
Added a new array definition screen to
allow multiple arrays within each map. |
|
Added a new parameter definition
screen to allow more flexibility in defining DFHMSD, DFHMDI, and
system parameters. |
|
Added the capability to enter both
lower-case and upper-case characters on the painted screen. |
|
Expanded CICS/MAPR II online help
facilities. |
|
Added PF keys for easier online
screen-to-screen movement. |
|
Expanded CICS/MAPR II BMS source macro
conversion capabilities, including conversion from SDF. |
