Changes for BIM-FAQS/ASO in BF53209 PTF:
 
-- Improve support for Katakana and DBCS (with optional BF53181)
 
-- Add an indicator in the spool member display header to indicate when
   DBCS is active:
 
   ====>
   OME311KA: 50024 RECS: 433     LINE: 1 ...    (DBCS=OFF)
 
   ====>
   D>OME311KA: 50024 RECS: 433     LINE: 1 ...  (DBCS=ON)
 
   ====>
   T>OME311KA: 50024 RECS: 433     LINE: 1 ...  (DBCS=TEST)

 Changes for BIM-FAQS/ASO and BIM-GSS in BF53160 and BG53140 PTFs:
 
-- Add support for FCB display and alter (z/vse 4.2+).
 
-- Change BIMGETSP to allow full POWER queue record to be acquired
 
-- Add support for over 99 hours duration on D S,x and ASO J
   for on-line as well as system console.  BIM-FAQS/ASO has a new
   format to handle additional digits without changing the spatial
   format:

   Notice the duration values begin with a percent (%) sign.  This indicates
   the format has changed from hh.mm.ss to hhhh.dd, where hhhh is the number of
   hours and dd is the percentage of an hour (in decimal).  The % format only
   appears for jobs that have been running for more than 99.59.59 (hh.mm.ss).
 
   This allows BIM-FAQS/ASO to display a duration up to just under 10,000 hours,
   or 416.67 days.
 
-- Add support for handling recalled commands and delayed function
   keys on the CGI.  Cursor still would not work properly, but is
   probably not necessary for the browser interface.
 
-- Change browser interface to make sure all menu selections are
   radio buttons.  Also handle the empty input fields properly in all
   cases.
 
-- Change IMOD/panel/help fix process reporting to be more accurate
   with line numbers.
 
-- Add a new optional patch to allow to USER and NODE to be changed
   from the old change panel by using >U=xxxx and >N=xxxx in the user
   information field.
 
-- Add support for access to all products, via browser, that use the
   BIM-GSS terminal interface.  This new interface uses the same
   facilities of the CICS interface to access BIM$TIDR.  From there,
   anything is possible that would be from a 3270 (TELNET) session.
   Also changed the BIM$CGRX routine to do a better job at cleaning
   up after an ABEND.
 
-- Add support to SCTY to allow modeled users to have their own
   user description information, if the model contains &DESC as the
   first characters of its own description.  This allows a new feature
   without affecting use by current users.
 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
 Changes for BIM-GSS in BG53130 PTF:
 
-- Create a BIM-GSS PTF (BG53130) that resolves issues with applying
   maintenance to systems that don't have BIM-FAQS.  Also fix problem
   with GSSDUMP not displaying the area around the ABEND PSW.  This
   had to be a new PTF to be applied along with BIM-GSS 5.3A because
   of needed support for ADDRESS PDS environment for panel/IMOD/help
   maintenance.  Also to remove possibility that old CA or other
   versions of PCSADR would be used by mistake.
 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
 Changes for BIM-FAQS/ASO and BIM-GSS in BF53150 and BG53125 PTFs:
 
-- Add support for return code in GSFTL if cards are skipped.
 
-- Add support for lowercase display for the eye-catcher of the
   DUMP command.  (LOWER)
 
-- Changed POWER queue list sort to reduce overhead
 
-- Add armor code to function programs to make sure the correct
   GETVIS area and length is always being used.  This was added
   because EPIC had a problem and storage overlay could have resulted.
 
-- Remove extraneous lines from SPRI command results on console
 
-- Add the PTF number to the menu panels for FAQS and GSS
 
-- Fix problem with FAQSMAIN clean up
 
-- From FAQSPOWR load own copy of BIM$OIEI and GSEDITI instead of
   using CDLOAD.  This will prevent use by multiple tasks.
 
-- Fix problem with lost IMODs if maximum are in process.
 
-- Fix problems with FFILE and SSAVE in BIM$OIED
 
-- Fix timing problem with BIM$CGRX sub-task attach
 
-- From BIM$TIDR load own copy of GSEDITI instead of using CDLOAD.
   This will prevent use by multiple tasks.
 
-- Fix the HELP for the REXX TIME() function

 Changes for BIM-FAQS/ASO and BIM-GSS in BF53130 and BG53120 PTFs:
 
-- Encrypt SCTY passwords on FAQS user PDS members..
 
-- Add new IMOD, $MEMMERG, to allow copy/merge of key FAQS PDS members
 
-- Add additional feature to modeling to allow &USERID to be used
   in the modeled user so the FAQS user's id will be included in the
   USER-DESC defined:
 
         USER-DESC of AP-&USERID   and a user of ASOMAINT
         would become AP-ASOMAINT on the console for this user
 
-- Add the ability to pass an initial command for the FAQS ICCF
   users.  If the passed command has spaces or comma it will need
   to be input using quotes.  Here is the new ICCF PROC:
 
         &&OPTIONS 0010011
         /INP NOPROMPT
         &@MACRO
         &@NOPRINT
         &/LOAD FAQSICX PARM='&&PARAM1                     &&PARAM2'
         &/OPTION GETVIS=P-32K
         &/UPSI 01010100
         /END
         /PEND
         /RUN
 
         The user would enter something like this:
 
             FAQS OPW
             FAQS 'D LST,*TEST'
 
-- Add support for CRDAYS and CRAGE to POWER display
 
-- Add support for DBCS (ON/OFF/TEST) to POWER display
 
-- Add new IMOD, $SCTYPRT,  which allows security entries to be
   printed.  Passwords are suppressed.
 
-- Add support for faqsmain user trace entries, which can be activated
   by changing a couple branches to nops in FAQSMAIN(FAQXAPPL):
 
-- Add support for a security user exit, FAQSTPSX, which can allow
   users' passwords to be changed, swap user ids, or prevent access.
   Customer can use the sample .A book as a basis for their security
   requirements.  Customer will modify, assemble, and link the exit
   phase to activate the facility, like is done with FAQSTPXT (the
   command handling user exit).
 
-- add support for MOD5 (132) to SCTY panels
 
-- Allow transfer to CMS of POWER members with recsize max of 250
   MSG:  GFP015E *** INVALID xxxxxxxx ***                  (NEW)
 
-- Make changes to dispatch processing for BIM$TIDR and FAQSMAIN,
   improving performance and reducing overhead.
 
-- Add additional option to GST005 message for BIM$TIDR, to show
   end of an XPCC (CICS) session.
   MSG:  GST005I tttttttt SESSION xxxxxxxxxx BY yyyy       (CHG)
