host-based Qedit.
Qedit Production Highlights
The current version available as a
production release is Qedit version 5.8.
Visual mode updates would fail with Bad Format error if the length
of the file was less than 52 bytes.
Qedit did not recognizes files with the extension .cpy as Cobol files.
The Text command would abort with Integer Divide by Zero error when
trying to text in some large variable length and bytestream files. (5.7.11)
Regular Expressions. Qedit would improperly report the error
"String longer than maximum allowed" if the expression specified is
longer than the window of the rangelist. (HP-UX/MPE) (5.7.10)
Shadow Passwords. Qedit for HP-UX did not support Shadow Passwords properly
for all versions of HP-UX. (5.7.10)
New features and bug fixes found in Qedit 5.7 for MPE and HP-UX include:
MPE commands with long Info= string do not cause stack corruption anymore.
A rangelist can now have an AND keyword with up to 10 search strings.
All strings must be found on a single line for the line to be selected. Each string can
have its own search window.
New features and bug fixes in Qedit for HP-UX only include:
Escape sequences to set/reset terminal tab stops appear in output file when Qedit's output is redirected as in $ qedit > qedit.out
Qedit now resets the tab stops when running in interactive mode only. Redirection is assumed to be batch mode.
The following enhancements have been implemented in the Qedit for Windows server.
The server correctly returns error 90 when the modified record length is greater
than the maximum allowed in the current workfile.
