This is a transparent change for the user, except when the user needs to start the file manager standalone without CICS being active. To do this with Btrieve release 6.20 the user would run the executable BTRIEVE.EXE. With this upgrade 6.20.925, the user would start the executable OS2MKDE.EXE. BTRIEVE.EXE is no longer used and should be renamed or removed from the system. It was not possible to do this at upgrade time. *********************************************************************** List of APARs in CSD08 ---------------------- +---------+------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ : Apar No : Brief Description : +---------+------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ : PN53994 : TASK HUNG WHEN USING APPC ALLOCATE AND LINE PENDING : : PN69242 : GENERIC DELETE OF ALL THE RECORDS IN A RECOVERABLE FILE CAUSES THE TASK TO HANG. : : PN70624 : TCP/IP CLIENT CONNECTED TO CICS FOR NT SUBSEQUENTLY DPL'S TO HOST CICS.
