The following new features have been added as part of the run-time support
Run-time Launch Configuration Files
Note: This feature is only supported in a Windows environment.
Use a run-time launch configuration file to ensure an application can be launched when it is deployed in a separate location to the run-time system (in the case of dynamically bound applications), or when the licensing daemon is not already running.
Environment Variables
The following environment variable has been added in this release:
- strictvsam
- strictvsam enables strict mainframe emulation when processing VSAM files.
- When set to ON and running under mainframe emulation, file status 37 is returned for an existing VSAM file when opened for OUTPUT if the file has data or previously had data written to it, or if the file is of a different format to the file on disk. When set to OFF, file status 0 is returned and a new file is created when an existing VSAM file is opened for OUTPUT. This variable is set to OFF by default.
