Problem: Exact behavior of the Link Only feature is not documented �

Resolution: Under Record Type on the Required tab on the map flow property sheet, the Link Only option indicates that this level is linked to the Master level or a repeating parent level. The link level can only be reached after a break occurs (the key value changes or the end-of-file is reached). When a break occurs, the flow returns to the Master (or repeating parent) level, and proceeds to the link level. If the break was an end of file the processing ends, otherwise the flow returns to the link level parent.

Problem: ECMap SQL_RETURN documentation incorrect�

Resolution: The SQL_RETURN system variable is used to determine if the last Fetch command in ECMap returned a result set. The SQL_RETURN system variable can be used in an IF/THEN(/ELSE) command to determine if a result set has been returned. Check the SQL_RETURN value against the “End of File” option found in ECMap. See Chapter 19 “Working with System Variables” in the ECMap 4.2 Reference Guide for additional information.

Problem: ECMAP Record properties - special characters doesn't have a drop down list �

Resolution: ECMap now includes a drop down list for special characters. If you choose SP CH an additional field displays with an up arrow from which the user can select a special character. See the ECMap 4.2 Reference Guide for additional information.

Problem: Overwriting USER_OUT_FILENAME variable documentation �

Resolution: Previous versions of the documentation incorrectly state that the USER_OUT_FILENAME variable can be overwritten. ECMap uses this variable for information purposes. When a write of some kind is done, the file name is recorded in this variable and cannot be overwritten. See “Working with System Variables” in the ECMap User's Guide for additional information.

Problem: A mechanism to merge/import cross-reference table updates from map to map is required. �Resolution: A new utility has been added to the GUI that will allow the user to import cross-reference tables from one map to another.

Problem: There is no easy way to import multiple rules from one map to another.�

Resolution: A new method for importing rules from map to map has been added. This will allow the user to select multiple rules to import at once. This is in place of the old method, which allowed one rule at a time to be imported.

Problem: No documentation on limits of the Today’s Date +/- n Days attribute

Resolution: You use the Today’s Date +/- n Days attribute if the memory variable is a calculated date based on today’s date. This date is derived from the system clock. If you select this attribute, an additional text box displays following Today’s Date +/- n Days. Enter the value for the number of days to be added to or subtracted from today’s date. The limit for the number of days is between -999 to +999 (-999 to 9999 if you do not include the plus sign). See “Working with Memory Variables” in the ECMap User's Guide for additional information.
