Release Notes for ZZUtils v2.1.0

Several utilities have been enhanced, most notably ZZTDOC, and several bugs have been corrected in ZZUtils version 2.1.

    Enhancements:

ZZDATES An internal time format (P12) field may be specified.
ZZSEARCH This new utility is similar in function to ZZLOCATE, but processes multiple FUSER files, as specified in ZZCUSTOM.  The Help key will display a list of available FUSER files.
ZZLOCATE
Full wildcard support has been implemented.
ZZTDOC The Delta Comparison listing is user-selectable (new keyword DELTA).

The comparison listing Summary page is user-selectable (new keyword SUMMARY).

The ZZADACMD listing is user-selectable (new keyword ADACMD).

A user-selectable option specifies whether changes to line number references within Natural source will be ignored in the comparison listing (new keyword ILRC).  Line numbers are changed to "0000" in both new and old members for comparison purposes.  To keep the source listings useful and legible, the true line numbers are displayed in a non-compared portion of the source line.

Three listing types are available for Natural members: List (via ZZPUNCH), Compile (via ZZLIST), and Structure (via STRUCT).

Sample reports (Lrecl 133) may be processed via two new member types: Q for sequential files; R for PDS members. Specify Old and New Member names to compare the old and new reports specified in the Old PDS and New PDS parameters.  Specify only a New Member name to include in the ZZTDOC document the sample report found in New PDS.

A PF key (Membr) has been added to append a member name to the output file specification. The member name is created from the set member name, new member name, or old member name.

Tests are made for the existence of the new and old Natural members in their respective libraries.
ZZTDPMNT Supports the new DELTA, SUMMARY, ADACMD, and ILRC keywords.

Existing profile records are upward compatible.  Use the Update function of ZZTDPMNT to include the new parameters in an existing profile record.

    Bug Fixes:

PF2/Auth This PF key persists when control is passed from the ZZUTILS menu to a non-ZZUTILS program.
ZZLIST PF3 returns to the selection screen instead of exiting the utility.
ZZTDOC No help text is provided for the New Environment field.

When only a new 3GL member is specified, the batch job fails attempting to process the Old PDS.

When the user specifies an Old Member in lower case, the system sets the New Member value to blank.
ZZTDPMNT
Upon invocation ZZTDPMNT automatically loaded the user's profile and defaulted the action code to "U" for update.  Pressing enter resulted in the message "update requires retrieval."
