Added attributes SAVELOGONVIOL,LOGONVIOLLIMIT,LOGONVIOLATIONCOUNT, ACSAVELOGONVIOL and ACDEFLOGONLIMIT.
Implement the LOGSURE LOG Context for Events logged by the SITE_EVENT Entrypoint of SURE.
The LOGSURE Context is a definition of SURE Attributes over an Installation Log Entry (7,31) created when SURE calls the Site_Event Function from the SURE Site Library.
If the LOGSURE Context is required, please contact Metalogic who will provide an Open Source implementation of a SURE Site Library with the Site_Event Entrypoint which may be used directly, or merged with an Installation's own SURE Site Library. (Reference LOGSURE/NEWTAPE).
% Default LogMajor and LogMinor Type LogMajInstV = 7#, LogSUREMinorType = 31#,
% Layout of SURE Installation Log Record % % Note: The SURE Log Record is modelled on the FileOpen % Log Record. It is a multi level structure.

The Flex TITLE attribute does not return an ON part if no 'ON PART' is in the FILES command. The semantics for Title now report this.
A bug when generating semantics could cause an invalid index in the Flex HELP ATT myself command.
Adds new log context USERDATA. Change to the attributes MCPMARK and MCPLEVEL for mcp 62. Adds new Flex attribute MYSELF(MYFAM) which returns the Family statement of the parent task.
Supports CALL DO of a logcontext ODTS from a general log ODTS. Adds a new system attribute LOGCONTEXT.
Add PDIMAGEID and PDSIGNATURE SYSTEM PD Attributes for 61 onwards
Fix SBP atts and add some new ones. Fix LMBLOCKSIZE etc
Until this change the OPAL attributes have not been updated to reflect the changes in SECOPT since 5.0
MYSELF(COUNTRY) Returns the country identifier associated with the Supervisor or Flex task, which is normally the same as SYSOPS COUNTRY.
A new attribute JOBSOURCENAME has been added to the LOGBOJ,LOGEOJ and EI contexts.
The semantcs for the ISDIR and ISFLAT attributes have been improved.
The semantics for the TapeDB attribute TAPENAMESERIALS now describes the optional string parameter.
PD attributes related to CODEFILES and now flagged as being invalid for :Flat searches.
Adds new VSS related PER attributes: DISKFORMAT,SYSDIRRECSIZE,SYSDIRFORMAT,AREABOUNDARIES,BOUNDARYFORMAT. Altered semantics for HWSECTORSIZE
Example display using the new attributes: TT DEFINE + DISPLAY VSSATTS(PER): Unitno,,Label,/, "Diskformat:",Diskformat,,"SYSDIRRECSIZE:",SYSDIRRECSIZE,/, "SYSDIRFORMAT:",SYSDIRFORMAT,,"VSS2TYPE:",VSS2TYPE,/, "AREABOUNDARIES:",AREABOUNDARIES,,"BOUNDARYFORMAT:",BOUNDARYFORMAT,/, "HWSECTORSIZE:",HWSECTORSIZE
The semantics for the LOGEOJ attributes D1Memory and D2Memory have been improved.
A new mnemonic, LEVELETA, has been added to the system attribute, COMPILERTARGET
Add new mnemonic values for STACKSTATE Add new Boolean stack usage MX atts: IGNOREMVSTK TRANSLATING ASSIGNINGFILE REMOTEOFDISABLED UMAINTUNITATTACHED SOFTINTDELAYED SUSPBYWLM DATAERRSINSTK DATAERRSCOUNT ARPSTATS RECURSIVECOPY BLOCKSEARCHLOOP POSIX_EXECING SCRUBBING UASSIGNED ARP New MX atts: TAPEOP EVENTCOUNT WAITTIME

Added new attributes: POOLOLAYAVAIL,POOLSAVEAVAIL,POOLOLAYFRAGMENTED, POOLSAVEFRAGMENTED,OVERLAIDCODE,TASKCOUNT,OLAYMIN.
This change add more attributes to the EI context. See TT HELP =:EI to see ahe attributes now available.
The sematics for the TimeOfDay attribute incorrectly specified that an integer value was returned. In fact a real value is returned.
Ex. Try
/ (Timeofday 5.3)
Adds system attributes:PROCSWITCHES,STDPROCCOUNT and SPECPROCCOUNT.
On MCP 58 and later the Target attribute is available in LOGBOJ,LOGEOJ, EI and MX contexts
The scratchpool of a mounted tape could be interrogated using the FORMID attribute. This change adds SCRATCHPOOL as a synonym to make things clearer.
The DUCAPACITY attribute was setting SUBCLASS=1 which caused a fault in GETSTATUS because bad data was provided as the chunk size. See Contact #27843871 and PLE #18152762.
From MCP 55 DBJOBNO was deimplemented in the MCP. DBJOBNO is now a synonym for DBMIXNO
When the DATABASE context was introduced in 1995 the attributes RESULT and RESULTTEXT were not fully implemented causing a 'not yet implemented' fault when they were used. RESULTTEXT has been deleted and RESULT is now defined as follows.
---- HELP ATTRIBUTES ----RESULT (DATABASE) Returns INTEGER
Semantics : Result (positive values indicate failure). Refer to OPENERROR subcategories in the Enterprise Database Server Application Programming Guide.
Two new DATABASE attributes have been added.
---- HELP ATTRIBUTES ---- DBACTORMIXNO (DATABASE) Returns INTEGER Link to MX
Semantics : Returns the mix number of the Actor.
DBACTORSTACKNO (DATABASE) Returns INTEGER
Semantics : Returns the stack number of the Actor.
---- HELP ATTRIBUTES ----GETSCRATCH (SYSTEM) Returns STRING
Parameters : 1. STRING
2. STRING
3. Optional mnemonic values : INSILO(1) LOW(2)
LOWINSILO(3) OLD(4) OLDINSILO(5).
Semantics : Returns the first eligible, unassigned scratch tape
serialno belonging to the SCRATCH subset which matches
parameter 1 (density) and parameter 2 (SCRATCH POOL). Valid
values for density can be found via HELP ATT DENSITYID
Either or both parameters may be empty strings.
The third optional parameter determines if the tape is required
to be in a Unisys or DSI silo and the order in which scratch
tapes are returned.
OLD determines that the oldest(by creation date) tape is
returned.
LOW determines that the least used tape is returned. If the
third parameter is omitted the least recently reported tape is
returned.
Adding the word INSILO (INSILO,OLDINSILO,LOWINSILO) restricts
the search to tape in a Silo.
Example:
GETSCRATCH("","MY POOL",INSILO)
GETSCRATCH("38000","DLT3")
GETSCRATCH("FMTDLT10",Empty,LOWINSILO)
Added the GetScratch option to the USE attribute.
Changed the semantics of MAXACTUALSTACKS: ---- HELP ATTRIBUTES ---- MAXACTUALSTACKS (SYSTEM) Returns INTEGER Semantics : Returns the maximum number of 'real' stacks that
can be allocated on the system without a Halt/Load. This figure reflects the value to which MAXSTACKNO may be increased, using the MAX ODT command, subtracting the number of stacks reserved for MCP use.
New and revised WFL attributes described in detail in Supervisor note 560.14
Add DBACCESS context to access Major Type 1, Minor Type 35 Database Access log entries. See Chapter 22, DMSII Utilities Manual for information on this capability.
The new OPALID attribute in the Define context returns the Type and Name separated by a space.
The SCREENSIZE attribute returns a hint about the Screen Size from a guess at the device type using the USER-AGENT Header. It returns a Mnemonic result from the list WATCH, PHONE, TABLET, LAPTOP, DESKTOP and WALL.
Add INBYTES, INCOUNT and COMPRESSIONRATIO to HTTP LOG Context to provide information about HTTP Response Compression.
Update the DO (Diagnostic Options) Mnemonics. They include RST which is used in the DO +|- RST command to control the RESIZE TRACE feature in the MCP.
The attribute CONTEXT has been added to the WHEN context.
New WHEN context attributes SITUATION and ACTIVITY.
MCP 14 (55) now supported. (Support for 48 and 49 removed)
Adds a new Operator attribute SSSOurceStation.
Attributes have been added to reflect recent MCPs.

Several new attributes have been added to the DEFINE context; these are COMPRESSED (if the OPAL script source has been compressed in the SCHEDULE file) and COMPRESSLENGTH (the length of the compressed source in bytes).
The LOGNO, CURRENBTLOG and RECORDNO attributes have been added to the METALOG context allowing an individual log entry to be identified by its record number in a particular log file.
A new attribute, VALIDEMAIL, is available to SUPERVISOR allowing the caller to validate an email address passed in as a parameter. VALIDEMAIL is implemented using an entrypoint in the MAILLIB library. An address without a hostname (i.e. no '@' part) is accepted and VALIDEMAIL will automatically use the default domain set from MAILLIB. Please see HELP ATTR VALIDEMAIL for more information.
Delete the mnemonic LOGCONTEXT and add the Mnemonic ADVSCHED (for advanced scheduling) to the LICENCEDAYS attribute.
This change supports the cleanup of the values returned by the LABEL and EIOSTATUS attributes in SUPERVISOR's PER context, described in OPAL DNote 540.72.
The FAMILYTIMESECONDS attribute has been added to the PER context; this returns the time-of-day in seconds that the base pack of a disk family or CD-ROM was created.
The PRODUCT attribute in the METALOG context now has additional values:
SITE and FLEX
The following attributes have been implemented in the AFTER context to support Advanced Scheduling:
ONCUSTOM CUSTOMOFFSET HOLIDAYOFFSET HOLIDAYPLUSOFFSET
These attributes allow information to be returned about the ON CUSTOM ON HOLIDAY and EXCEPT HOLIDAYS modifiers for the AFTER command as described in SUPERVISOR DNote 541.38.
New attributes have also been added to the SYSTEM context allowing all valid SUPERVISOR-assigned workdays, holidays and custom days to be returned as individual list of julian dates delimited by commas. The attributes are:
HOLIDAYLIST e.g. "123,2011001,2011002,2012153" CUSTOMDAYLIST WORKDAYLIST
Note that dates specified by the HOLIDAYS command may not have been assigned with a year: in such cases, HOLIDAYLIST will return the julian day offset only for the current year as can be seen by the value 123 instead of 2011123.
On MCP 54.1, the attributes DBJOBNUMBER, DBMNIXNUMBER and DBSTACKNO in the DATABASE context always returned zero. These attributes were retrieving information from a now invalid serial word in the SUMLOG entry. Any OPAL scripts using these attributes must be recompiled on MCP 54.1 using a version of SUPERVISOR with this change.
Similarly, the ACTOR class of attributes (such as ACTOR_JOBNO) in the FILEOPEN context now returns correct values for job and mix numbers though current attributes still work on MCP 54.1.
This changes documents the addition of the NEXTACTIVITYDAY attribute to the AFTER context. This attribute returns the date of the next scheduled occurrence of the selected AF activity allowing for holiday exceptions etc.
The DLIPFILES attribute has been deimplemented as it has not been available since MCP 48.1.
In the Prints context the Jobnumber attribute would return Mixnumber and the Mixnumber attribute JobNumber.
The METALOG context has been extended to include a new logging subcontext called FLEX.
Several new attributes for SUPERVISOR's WHEN context allowing information to be returned about the current status of all jobs invoked by the WFL function for any WHEN slot. The attributes are:
WFLS Number of active WFL jobs WFLSACTIVE Job number list of active WFL jobs WFLIDS Identity list of active WFL jobs (returns '*' for jobs with no identity)
New attributes have been added for the MAIL context:
ATTACHFILE, INCLUDEFILE and ZIPFILE
These return information about the MCP files that have been attached or included in a MAILLIB email request.
Add Custom Context attributes TOSTRING,HELP,LASTERRORTEXT,ATTLIST, FUNCTIONNAME,INTERFACENAME,LIBPARAMETER.
This change supports the new MAILLIB context within SUPERVISOR allowing the capture of MAILLIB email transactions, errors and events by WHENs that use the MAIL context. For more information, please refer to SUPERVISOR DNote 540.94.
The LOGBINARY and DFHBINARY attributes have been added to the LOG and PD contexts respectively. Please refer to OPAL DNote 540.52 for more information about their use.
The ASAP subcontext has been removed from the METALOG context.
A new SO option, NOTTLOGGING (option 28), has been added. Please see SUPERVISOR DNote 540.81 for more information.
Add HTTP attributes STATUSCODE,REASONPHRASE,URL_FRAGMENT,
ASYNCREQUEST,READYSTATE,RESPONSELENGTH, RESPONSETIME for XMLHttpRequest.
The SUBKINDLIST attribute has been added to the PD context for FLEX and SUPERVISOR. See HELP ATTR SUBKINDLIST for more information.
Add the FILEHANDLE attribute to the JOB Context. FILEHANDLE for a WFLOPEN, WFLIN, WFLOUT or WFLCLOSE Job Message returns a Handle for the Station with LSN, which is assigned to the File identified by the FRSN. It is used with OPAL Transmit function to write to a Remote File.
The syntax for the OPAL Transmit Function is now,
$DCResult:=Transmit(<filehandle>,<text>)
A new MYSELF variant, PROGRESS, is now available. This attribute is available for use by the ON PROGRESS statement in the OPAL compiler and indicates the percentage progress of am Opal MZIP or GZIP operation. Please see OPAL DNote 540.37 for more details.
The AFTER context attribute ONLOADSCHED returns true for entries scheduled with AFTER LOAD.
The HolOnly attribute is true if an entry was scheduled using ON HOLIDAYS
This change adds the NICKNAMES attribute to the SYSTEM ML context and MYSELF(TRANSNO) returns the last MAILLIB transaction number for the specified SUPERVISOR WHEN slot.
MYSELF(CALLDEPTH) returns the current depth of call DOs
Ex. ODTS C2 performs CALL DO "C1" ODTS C1 performs CALL DO "CL" ODTS CL performs #L:=Myself(CallDepth) #L with have the value 2
A new boolean attribute called MZIPLASTERROR,a synonym for TTLASTERROR, is available to checks the results of ZIP, UNZIP, ZIPFILE and UNZIPFILE function/method calls.
Add BODYEXTERNAL to indicate that the BODY has been stored in an external File. Add UPGRADE, SEC_WEBSOCKET_ORIGIN, SEC_WEBSOCKET_PROTOCOL, SEC_WEB_SOCKET_KEY1, SEC_WEBSOCKET_KEY2 and SEC_WEBSOCKET_LOCATION Header Attributes.
The MYSELF attribute will no longer list inappropriate mnemonics in the Help Att command. The Myself and WHENID attributes are now synonyms, both now return string and integer data. The INPUTPARAM and COMMAND attributes have been added to the WHEN
context
The Age attribute now takes an optional mnemonic parameter INDAYS the default if no parameter is passed and INSECONDS. The time between the current time and the timestamp time is calculated and returned in units of whole days or seconds. If the timestamp of a file was 1 second before midnight yesterday and Age was interrogated at 1 second after midnight then it would return 0 days or 2 seconds.
The SECCLASS attribute returned the wrong mnemonics. S1 was returned for S0, S2 for S1 and Minimal for S2
The CPM attribute, when passed a processor number, returns ON or OFF if that processor is in-use by the MCP. However, CPM would only handle a maximum of 8 CPUs and returned incorrect values because of an indexing issue. These problems are now resolved.
Also, the EVENTTYPE attribute in the WHEN context now has improved explanatory semantics.
The new Flex attribute Age returns the the number of days since the date of the file TIMESTAMP.
New Supervisor Attributes WHENID(INPUTPARAM) returns the text of any parameter passed to this Slot. EX. TT DO MIX_ODTS 1234,5678 WHENID (INPUTPARAM) would return '1234,5678'
TT EV PD_SITU DO PD_ODTS (*)=AX= IN "XYZ.CON" WHENID(INPUTPARAM) would return '(*)=AX= IN "XYZ.CON"'
MYSELF(FIRST) Returns the value of the TERM FIRST setting
New Flex Attribute
INPUTPARAM Returns the text of the most recent command.
Ex REP HEAD INPUTPARAM Followed by FILES =BoB= ON DEV:FL Would return FILES =BoB= ON DEV:FL followed by the list of files
Several new TAPEDB attributes, LOGICALREEL and LOGICALLIST, have been implemented. Their usage is described in more detail in TAPELIBUPDATER DNote 530.12.
Added new attributes METERPRIORTIME,METERCURRENTTIME,METERMONTHTIME, METERECENTTIME returning the same data as their ...TS equivalents but expressed in seconds since 1/1/1970.
The time can be extracted from these attributes using an expression like METERPRIORTIME MOD (24*3600). The Julian date with an expression like NEWDATE(1970001,METERPRIORTIME DIV(24*3600))
Also added METERIMAGEPRIOROVER, METERIMAGECURRENTOVER and INCMETEROVERUTIL.
New Attributes: TZABBREVIATION (SYSTEM) Returns STRING in the form of an Identifier
TIMEZONE is a synonym for this AttributeSemantics : Time zone abbreviation.
TZNAME (SYSTEM) Returns STRING in the form of an Identifier Semantics : Full time zone name.
TZNUMBER (SYSTEM) Returns INTEGER Semantics : The predefined time zone number or zero.
TZOFFSETDIRECTION (SYSTEM) Returns INTEGER Semantics : Indicates if the time zone offset is added to or subtracted from the universal time to get local time. 0 indicates no time zone, 1 indicates add the offset and 2 indicates subtract the offset.
TZOFFSETHOURS (SYSTEM) Returns INTEGER Semantics : Hours offset (0 through 24).
TZOFFSETMINUTES (SYSTEM) Returns INTEGER Semantics : Minutes offset (0 through 59).
TZOFFSETTIME (SYSTEM) Returns INTEGER Semantics : Total offset time in minutes as a positive or negative integer.
PINGSECURITYERROR and PINGCOMMANDERROR mnemonics have been added to the PINGRESULT attribute.
New Attributes VSVER,VSORIGINALREFS and ORIGINALREFS. See HELP ATT for details.
Two new attributes, LOGNAME and LOGSUBSTRING, have been added to the LOG context. These attributes allow both standard form and substandard form names to be extracted from a LOG record where a suitable OPAL context does not exist. PLease refer to OPAL DNote 530.60 for further information.
A new reference attribute called PDKEY is now available and permits retrieval of file information via the PD context from any OPAL script. Please refer to SUPERVISOR DNote 531.45 for more information.
SERIALNO attributes in relevant contexts have been changed to LINK to the TAPEDB context. A new attribute group, SERIALVL, allows linkage to the VL context.
Two new attributes, SLOTMEMORY and VARIABLES, have been added to the WHEN context.
This change supports a new SUPERVISOR context called STATIONS. The STATIONS context allows access to all active and inactive MCP datacom station information similar to that returned by the SYSTEM/DCSTATUS utility. These MCP datacom tables include both pseudo and physical stations and, where a station is in-use by a MCS, additional session information is provided.
Please refer to SUPERVISOR DNote 531.40 for more information; see HELP ATTR =:STATIONS for a list of available attributes.
This change supports another new SUPERVISOR context called SESSIONS. The SESSIONS context allows access to information about all MCP job and MCS sessions currently active in the system. This feature is made possible due to the new SESSIONS ODT command now available in MCP 53.1 and later versions of 52.1
Please refer to SUPERVISOR DNote 531.35 for additional information; see HELP ATTR =:SESSIONS for a list of available attributes.
The NETWORKFILE and NETWORKLIBRARY attributes now provide links to the PD and SL contexts respectively.
This change supports a new SUPERVISOR context called SHOWOPEN. The SHOWOPEN context allow the retrieval of information about all open, in-use files on a specified disk family and includes both temporary and permanent files. If the family is the DL JOBS family, then Job File information will be returned. Please refer to SUPERVISOR DNote 531.33 for more information and refer to HELP ATTR =:SHOWOPEN for a list of available attributes.
Julian dates have two formats in Opal. The OLD YYDDD (now YYYDDD) and for newer attributes YYYYDDD. The old form of Julian date returns the year - 1900. So 2009 is returned as 109. Many old julian attribute names end in DAY and have an equivalent attribute returning a 4 digit year ending in TSDAY. The format is now described in the header line of HELP ATT.
EX.
ACCESSDAY (PD) Returns INTEGER as Julian Day -1900 YYYDDD ACCESSTSDAY (PD) Returns INTEGER as Julian Day YYYYDDD
LMLICENSEKEYV gives the Key Status of a file on a Unisys conditioned tape or CD. Only valid for :FAST on conditioned Lib/Maint MT/CD media.
Add new SEARCHTYPE mnemonics in PD context for FILE <dir> <unit>:FAST
Make TAPEFEET (8@#12[FN]) instead of an attribute function, so it now no longer needs compiler support for a multi-bit mask.
Move GSHEADERSIZE Defines in FlexForm to INCLUDE/META.
A new SUPERVISOR context, METALOG, has been implemented. This context allows retrieval of log entries from Metalogic's internal log files maintained by SUPERVISOR, MAILLIB and TRIM. Unlike SUMLOG-based scripts, METALOG Opals can only be used with the EVAL command as no event support is available. Please refer to SUPERVISOR DNote 531.21 for more information and HELP ATTR =:METALOG will show the small subset of supported attributes.
Some new attributes for the DEFINE context have been added to provide additional information concerning the method used to compile an individual DEFINE. These attributes include REFERENCE, REMOTESOURCE, SOURCEKIND and SOURCEHOSTNAME.
This changes supports a new SUPERVISOR context called SL. The SL context allow the retrieval of information for all MCP SL functions from OPAL scripts using EVAL. Please refer to SUPERVISOR Dnote 531.20 for more information and refer to HELP ATTR =:SL for a list of attributes currently available.
Internal change: the current mechanism for attribute mnemonic handling has been changed because array limits had been exceeded (GSMNEMINFO). There are no issues with existing compiled code.
New When context attributes TIMEDPER,SOURCE,WAITSECS, NEWODTS and NEWSITU.
A new SUPERVISOR context called DEFINE has been implemented. This context allows Opal scripts to interrogate SUPERVISOR's OPAL program dictionary with the EVAL command and return useful information for any DEFINE in that dictionary. Please refer to SUPERVISOR DNote 531.15 for more information.
The attribute SMTPFAMILY has been added to the SYSTEM MAIL subset used to return information about the family used by MAILLIB to hold *SMTP files. The MAIL attribute NICKNAMES is now also available.
PRINTABLE returns whether the file can be used in a WFL PRINT statement
The mnemonic TTSORTCANCEL has been added to the TTLASTERROR attribute to capture TT function EVALs that use an invalid SORT clause.
The Mnemonic LOGGING (47) is now valid with the SO attribute.
This change supports a new OPAL attribute called GETDISKFARMSERIAL available only to FLEX. Please refer to OPAL DNote 530.30 for more information.
The UPLOAD and DOWNLOAD attributes are used to request a file transfer in a Scripting Environment. In OPAL they return the same value as TITLE.
The CONTENT, HEADER and ROWMAP attributes represent PD context information available in a a Scripting Environment. In OPAL they return the same value as TITLE.
The FI attribute represents MIX context information in a Scripting environment. In OPAL it returns the same value as MIXNUMBER.
A small subset of attributes is available supporting the Opal PING function described by Opal DNote 530.25. These attributes return information about the PING itself and its success or failure.
Use of the PDGUARDED attribute gave an error: FLEXLIB:RECOMPILE NEEDED (INVALID ATTRIBUTE) in REPORT. This problem has been corrected.
A subset of attributes called SYSTEM MAIL is now available; these attributes provide run-time and configuration information for the Metalogic MAILLIB library. Only available to SUPERVISOR, information may be obtained by the command:
HELP ATTR =:SYSTEM MAIL
A new attribute called DFHIMAGE has been implemented for both FLEX and SUPERVISOR (PD context). DFHIMAGE returns an image of the Disk File Header of the selected file. By default, this is returned in JavaScript array format with each header word in hexadecimal format delimited by commas. For example:
[128,'3F3F0A4003E8','801000000000','000000000052',...]
The first entity in the array indicates the size of the header in words.
Two new parameters have been added to the Myself attribute. DEPTH - Call depth where environment data is saved. Ex Call DO of a MSG ODTS passing a parameter increments this depth. MAXDEPTH - The limit for DEPTH. If Depth exceeds this limit an ODTS will be aborted.
The semantics for the DUCHEKRBOARD attribute have been updated to show that the Fixed, Inuse and Temp flags now return integer values of 1 or 0 instead of the literals 'true' and 'false'.
The DUCHECKERBOARD attribute now includes a FiLEKIND mnemonic for each file area that is mapped and appears after the file title. For example, the CSV variant would appear as:
[Start sector,Sector count,Title,Filekind,Fixed,InUse,Temp]
4028,227796,41,*DEV/PI0017M2007301A,PROMBURNERDATA,FALSE,FALSE,FALSE
Similarly, the web JS format includes the FILEKIND as a quoted string.
A new OPAL attribute called DUCHECKERBOARD is now available which can provide a detailed file analysis of a specified sector range on a selected disk family index. Please see SUPERVISOR DNote 530.54 for more information and HELP ATTR DUCHECKERBOARD.
It is now possible for OPAL attribute semantics to show double-quotes in their descriptions instead of the single version, allowing attribute usage to be correctly described.
Semantics for the TTLASTERROR attribute have been corrected.
Various attributes belonging to the Supervisor VDBS context have been modified due to recent changes documented on the Unisys support web site regarding the DMINQ function (from the DMALGOL Programming Reference manual). A small attribute set whose names start with 'AVERAGE' have now been replaced by 'SUM' to reflect the change in meaning of the values returned and have had their semantics updated.
Further, several VDBS attributes such as TOTALPRIEXTENDWAITTIME and NUMPREVIOWAITS will now return corrected values and will not appear as synonyms for other attributes when interrogated with the HELP command. Several new VDBS attributes - TOTALPRIAUDIIOS, SUMPREVIOBUFFERS and TOTALSECAUDITIOS - are now available on DMSII 52.1.
The DAY attribute has been added to the AFTER context; this is a subset of the DAYTYPE attribute but with the TODAYONLY mnemonic absent. This means that DAY will return, if processing a record from today's schedule, the current day of the week instead a TODAY value.
The SUPERVISOR attribute MINUTE in the AFTER context has been renamed to AFMINUTE to avoid conflict with the SYSTEM attribute of the same name.
The ORDINALWEEKDAY attribute has been added to the AFTER context - this attribute returns TRUE if the specified activity was assigned with an 'ON nTH <WeekDay>' modifier such as 'ON 1ST FRIDAY' or 'ON 5th SUNDAY'. To complement the MONTHMASK and WEEKMASK attributes, DAYMASK has been implemented to represent activities that have been assigned with modifiers such as 'ON MONDAY','ON 1st TUESDAY-THURSDAY'.
This change supports new mnemonics for the POSTSCRIPTS attribute in the AFTER context as described in SUPERVISOR DNote 530.26 . New AFTER attributes, JOBNUMBER and WITHIN, have also been added.
The list of parameter mnemonics that may be used with the SO attribute has been updated to match that available to SUPERVISOR's SO command.
TADS/PDTADS atts are valid for code files and return true if $TADS was set during their compile. TADS is not valid in :FLAT searches.
DOLLARVERSION in the PD Context is a string containing the $VERSION info.
The FLEX LF and LF:ATT reports now show if $TADS is set (before the $VERSION information.) They now use the DOLLARVERSION and PDSEG0VERSION attributes respectively.
A new SUPERVISOR context called AFTER has been implemented. This allows the user to interrogate the SUPERVISOR AFTER schedule using OPAL programs that are processed with the EVAL command. Please see SUPERVISOR DNote 530.22 for more information.
The CHARGECODE attribute in the WHEN context will now return a correct value instead of a corrupted string. The LSN attribute has been added to this context.
The attribute TIMELASTEVAL has been added to the WHEN context and a parameter of the same name is now available to the MYSELF attribute. TIMELASTEVAL is used to denote the elapsed time since an event-driven WHEN was triggered or, if the EVAL count is zero, this is the time the WHEN was started.
This change supports the new WHEN context for SUPERVISOR; please see SUPERVISOR DNote 530.13 for more information.
