ECO KIT SUMMARY:
An ECO kit exists for the DCL commands 'SET' and 'SHOW' on OpenVMS
VAX V7.0. This kit addresses the following problems:
Problems Addressed in the VAXCLIU03_070 Kit:
o This problem was originally fixed in the VAXCLIU02_070 remedial kit,
but this is a new problem that has the same effect. This kit fixes
the new problem.
When doing a SHOW PROCESS /CONTINUOUS command in a constrained
working set, it is possible to get a PGFIPLHI bugcheck.
The problem occurs because a reference is made at elevated IPL, to
one of several data cells located in pageable memory.
Problems Addressed in the VAXCLIU01_070 Kit for OpenVMS VAX V7.0:
o A DCL 'SHOW PROCESS/CONTINUOUS' command can cause a system crash
if the process being shown has already been deleted.
o In V5.5, when LAT master was used to replace the old LTDRIVER, a
problem was found that might, in certain circumstances, cause a
fatal bugcheck. This occurred if the DCL commands
SET TERMINAL/PROTOCOL=DDCMP LTAn
or
SET TERMINAL/PROTOCOL=NONE LTAn
were used. Since DDCMP protocol has never been supported on LAT
ports, a decision was made to disable the use of these commands on
LAT ports. Since V5.5 shipped it has been found that many customers
have third-party software that does do DDCMP on LAT ports. This has
become a major customer satisfaction issue.
