To allow the output from the plot statement to be re-sized the Parameters SCALEX and SCALEY have been added to the Esl Configuration File.

Latest functions and subroutines have been swapped between the ESL supplied libraries to ensure they are logically located. That is, all file access routines are located in the FileIO library and string handling routines are in EslStr library.

2055

The "login" statement when using the ESLODBC local application now supports Windows Authentication, if both the UserId and Passwords fields are not supplied.

2056

Only a single instance of the Configuration File manager "EslIniMgr" can process a particular INI file, which prevents multiple updates, which could result in amendments being lost.

2062

The printing facilities (plot and EslPr) correctly identify the Windows default printer, when a printer name is not supplied.

2063

The Configuration Manager allows for Relative Paths which adding File, Directory and Path parameters.

2072

The local SQL application ESLODBC now uses escape sequences to allow special characters, such carriage return and new line, to be included in a data field. The ESLStr library has associated functions to Encode and Decode fields that should be used with this facility. To ensure only single fields are encoded; to send a field containing a special character to a database table, the array processing (astmt, aval and aexec) protocol must be used. All fields returned by ESLODBC are Encoded, so if a special character may be present, the Decode function must be used.

2075

It is now possible to perform a case sensitive search within a table control. To switch to case insensitive search use the "ignore case" option in the "find in" statement.

2082

Correction to "invoke" statement processing, to ensure resources used are released when no longer needed.

2089

The Configuration Manager includes processing for the SCALEX/Y parameters that was introduced to allow the output from the plot statement to be re-sized.

Clearing a table now also releases the memory allocated to store the table details.

EslEdit no longer handles a NULL embedded in a text file as an End-Of-File marker, allowing ESL Runtime Logs created by older versions of ESL to be processed.
