Workstation APL2 Version 2 Service Level 14
The IBM APL Products and Services group is pleased to announce Service Level 14 for Workstation APL2 for Multiplatforms Version 2.0. This new service level is available for all Workstation APL2 platforms including AIX, Linux, Sun Solaris, and Windows.
Along with fixes for customer reported problems, Service Level 14 contains the following enhancements:
All platforms:
Enlist is supported in selective specification expressions.
The maximum length of a simple workspace name is increased from 8 to 64.
The active workspace name is displayed in the titlebar of the Session Manager window.
Windows:
A new menu, File, is added to the Session Manager menubar. File contains two submenus - the existing Log menu and a new Workspace menu that allows APL workspace files to be located and brought into the active workspace using standard Windows file facilities.
The Undo facility is added to the Object Editor. It is accessible using the Edit menu or from the toolbar. Each use of Undo backs off one keyboard or clipboard operation.
The Remove Unused Locals choice is added to the Object Editor Edit menu. This choice removes duplicate and unused names from the header when editing functions and operators.
The font size in the session manager and object editor can be changed using the key combinations Ctrl+MouseWheel or Ctrl+Keypad + and Ctrl+Keypad - .
Reverse video is supported in the APL2 Colors dialog.
In the object editor, new output classes are defined for Syntax Error and URL to allow separate customization of the colors for these output types.
Further information on the new facilities will be found in the updated APL2 User's Guide and on-line help after installing Service Level 14. A complete list of fixes included in this level will be found in the updated README (Unix systems) or Service Information (Windows systems) file.
The APL2 Service Level 14 download is available to customers with a Software Maintenance contract, through the Support link.
