ECO KIT SUMMARY:

An ECO (patch) kit exists for OpenVMS VAX V5.4 through V5.4-2. This
kit addresses the following problems:

o Fixes the integer overflow error that occurs in MTH$GSQRT
during calculations with large numbers of decimal places.

o Fixes incorrect results to routines DASIND, ASIN, ACOS,
and ACOSD.

o When using the G_FLOAT floating point trigonometric
function and the /G_FLOAT compile switch (either directly
from MTHRTL or indirectly by calling MTH$ASIN via a
function), incorrect results are sometimes returned.


RELATED ARTICLES:

Detailed articles describing the problems listed above may exist in
the VMS database. To view these articles, open the appropriate
product database and perform a query using the search string
'CSCPAT_0231'.

must be rebooted. If the system is a member of a VAXcluster, the
entire cluster should be rebooted. The application should also be
re-linked.
