COBOL Manual for TNS/E Programs (H06.08+, J06.03+)

• Added information on the allowed size of records for disk files in “SORT” (page 441).
• Updated the information on the sum of the lengths of the keys limit in “Size” (page 726).
• Updated the information on how larger partitioned files can be than non-partitioned files in
“Partitioned Files” (page 856).
• Updated the maximum prime record key length, alternate record key length, and logical record
length limits allowed for key-sequenced (indexed) files in Table 123 (page 862).
• Added information on the maximum number of characters allowed for the unique alternate
and non-unique alternate keys in key-sequenced and other files in “Alternate Record Keys”
(page 870).
• Added “SPR Requirements for Increased Enscribe Limits for the H06.28/J06.17 Release”
(page 38).
New and Changed Information for 520347–010
• Added new information in “STANDARD” (page 998).
• Added new information in “STANDARD” (page 573).
New and Changed Information for 520347–009
Added a reference note in “COBOL Segmentation” (page 819) section.
New and Changed Information for 520347–008
Added new sections for PROFDIR directive, “PROFDIR” (page 558) and “PROFDIR” (page 987)
New and Changed Information for 520347–007
Added the description “An Enscribe key-sequenced file supports up to 64 partitions; while other
Enscribe disk files supports up to 16 partitions” and “They can be up to 63 times as large as
non-partitioned files” for “Partitions” (page 852) section.
New and Changed Information for 520347–006
• Added a note to the REPORT Phrase under the RECEIVE-CONTROL Paragraph (page 143) in
Chapter 6: Environment Division (page 101), indicating that system messages need to be
explicitly requested by executing appropriate Guardian procedures in addition to specifying
certain classes of system messages in the REPORT clause. In addition, changed the reference
cited for system messages from the Guardian Programmer's Guide to the Guardian Procedure
Errors and Messages Manual.
• Revised descriptions of CHECK levels in Table 83 (page 542) in Chapter 11 (page 512) and
under “CHECK” (page 981) in Chapter 36 (page 979).
• Added a new section, “Non-Local Jumps in HP COBOL Applications” (page 652), that describes
cobsetjmp() and coblongjmp() , HP COBOL-safe versions of the standard HP C functions
setjmp() and longjmp(). Like setjmp() and longjmp(), cobsetjmp() and
coblongjmp() provide the functionality for non-local jumps and are typically used for
handling errors and interrupts encountered during program execution.
• Added description of message 149 to Chapter 48 (page 1178).
New and Changed Information for 520347–005
• Added a caution under Chapter 15: Debugging Tools (page 699) on the manner in which the
CODECOV (page 542) compiler directive interacts when you are debugging an instrumented
application. Also see Generating Instrumented Object Code for Use With the Code Coverage
