Macro Source Containing Executable Code
Prior to Version 18.0, several CA IDMS macros containing executable code were distributed to clients. In release 18.0, each of those macros contains only an options table. The options table is linked with a small stub module that will rarely if ever need maintenance.
Almost all the corresponding executable code is distributed in object form and is installed automatically at all client sites.
The new procedure simplifies maintenance since you will normally never need to recompile or relink your option tables after applying maintenance. It also makes it easier for CA Technologies technical support to provide assistance if a problem arises.
The following macros are affected:
A special version of each of these macros can be obtained by contacting CA IDMS Technical Support. The special version of each macro will not include any new parameters introduced after Version 17.0, but full support will be provided for each such macro in Version 18.0. CA Technologies does not warrant that the macro will be supported in future releases. Also note that any client modifications are the responsibility of the client site.
It is recommended that sites using any of these macros consult with CA Technologies about an alternative that will allow use of the standard Version 18.0 macro.
The SVC used by CA IDMS Task Analyzer to write statistics to the SMF file is no longer used and is no longer distributed. CA IDMS Task Analyzer now uses the standard IDMS SVC to perform this function.
