Enhancements

General

  1. RW mnemonic, Reset Window size, for terminals using Thoroughbred Basic Windows. Updates #IDSV’s TTY column and row values. Unix/Linux only.
  2. When using T-Connect, automatically resize and refresh the Basic window after the browser’s window sized has changed.
  3. PRM SQL_WAIT_TIMEOUT added to override MySQL’s wait_timeout setting for the Basic’s session to prevent an ERR=150 when the MySQL server has gone away, error 2006. (DATY MISC 0007)
  4. OPEN(,OPT=”NOFIRST”) disables the use of OPTION FAST(1) in SQL statements generated by TS DataServer for MS SQL Server and the use of FIRST_ROWS(1) hint in SQL statements generated by TS DataServer for Oracle. (DATS MISC 0023)
  5. Support for OpenSSL 1.1. This will be the default for Linux kernel 4 and 5 ports.
  6. Added PRM NEWDATE7 to allow date type 7 to skip $8A$. Year 2036 is stored as $89$, year 2037 is stored as $8B$, etc.
  7. Added console mode @V shortcut for DUMP VERSION.
  8. Added OPT="TEXT|FSEP=" to OPEN for processing records containing text fields. The FSEP value
    may be a single character (no quotes) or a binary character value $XX$. Patterned after the
    MIME specification for CSV files. The "TEXT|" is required. Works for READ and WRITE.
  9. Base-64 encoding and decoding of strings added to TFF() via options “BE” and “BD”.

  3. Added count_by_session option to the TSI.ini file to count TS Network DataServer connections by Basic session, not by workstation. Network Basic is limited to 3 sessions per workstation.

Changes
