The IBM APL Products and Services group is pleased to announce Service
Level 12 for Workstation APL2 for Multiplatforms Version 2.0. This new
service level is available for all Workstation APL2 platforms including
AIX, Linux, Sun Solaris, and Windows.
Along with fixes for customer reported problems, Service Level 12
contains the following enhancements:
All platforms:
AP 127, AP 227 and the SQL workspace allow calls to stored procedures,
including support for output parameters and result set fetching.
Mainframe support for stored procedures will be available with the fixes
for APAR PK63829.
New external function DATATYPE returns information about the type of
data objects in the APL2 workspace. DATATYPE is also available for
mainframes as PTF UK36296 (TSO) or UK36297 (CMS).
New external operators PEACHP and PEACHT allow automatic distribution of
computation across multiple processors.
New Associated Processor 15 provides access to structured storage.
Performance of access to lf-delimited text files is improved in
Processor 12 and the Processor 10 built-in file functions.
Processor 12 supports 5 new data types when viewing a file as a simple
vector.
Windows:
ActiveX controls are supported in AP 145 dialogs.
LOADAPI and CALLAPI support accessing Windows APIs by address.
The characters in the APL Assist toolbar may be customized by the user.
Function execution properties are displayed in and settable from the
object editor.
Service Level 12 is available through the Support option at the APL2
home page to customers with a Software Maintenance contract.
Further information on the new facilities will be found in the updated
APL2 User's Guide and on-line help after installing Service Level 12. A
complete list of fixes included in this level will be found in the
updated README (Unix systems) or "Service Information" (Windows systems)
file.
