What is new in Release 1.4.2?
Rob has again implemented a few enhancement to increase useability of his fine program:
* The possibility the edit data with non-printables. It is not a hex edit, but you change the editable data without destroying the lines with non printables, so you edit data with e.g. object decks. In the former releases all the printable data was translated into colons.
* New inserted lines will be highlighted if they are empty. If data is entered in an inserted line the highlighting of that line will disappear. The empty inserted lines will not be saved or submitted. This is the way like VM XEDIT it does.
* The COPY command in EDIT is improved.
* You can specify the UNIT type in Alloc (option 3.1)
* RPFSTAT has got a new screen (option 0.0)
* The 'M' command is supported in the member selection list (scroll max).
What was new in Release 1.4.1?
* Using the END command (PFK3) will now return you to the invoking screen, not to the main menu. This is true for
o Browse (Option 1)
o Edit (Option 2)
o PDS Maintenance (Option 3.4)
* You can now select a member with the 'S member' command in the member selection list
* Check the documentation RPF User's guide or member RPFUGUID in the attached source library.
What was new in Release 1.4?
* A few bug fixes
* RPFDATAU: Module deleted. Functions moved to RPFDATAL
RPFDATAL: Dataset selection list implemented. Module will also be used for utility functions This list is a history of the last edited datasets and will be written in the RPF database if RPF exits. No conversion of the database is
needed. RPF will just write a second record per user.
* RPFFIND: Find string matches if string is the same and can be entered in mixed case
* RPFPDS: Bug fixed if EDIT invoked and COPY command given
* RPFMAIN: SMF system id in main menu
* RPFEDIT: Save the data in the same dataset/member if the END subcommand has been given. Save only if the data has been changed (the ISPF way)
* CANCEL command added, with alias CAN to exit EDIT without saving the data.
* RPFLIB LIBRARIAN tape master files supported
* RPFBRO SUB(MIT) command added in Browse.
* See the included RPF User's guide or member RPFUGUID in the
attached source library.
What was new in Release 1.3?
* A few bug fixes
* RPFBRO introduced for browsing data RPFBRO has a lot of new commands.
* RPFASM has got a new screen
* The output of RPFASM will be browsed with RPFBRO and more assembles/links can be done without leaving the foreground assembler menu.
* RPFLIB (running librarian implemented) Option 3.5 is available. This is nice for people who have masterfiles of LIBRARIAN (a product of ADR, later Computer Associates)
* RPFOUT output will be browsed with RPFBRO.
* The maclibs, assembler parm, linkage editor parm control statements will be saved in the RPF database
