Rational Environment Release Information
Delta 0 Release
\f
\f
1. Overview
This release information describes the Delta 0 release of the
Rational Environment. Delta 0 is a major release that includes
functionality and performance enhancements as well as bug fixes.
Some major additions and enhancements to the Environment are:
* Access control
* Configuration management and project control facilities
* Source management capabilities
* Incremental editing of coded specs
* Code-only units
* System console operator interface
* Debugger object editor
* Help object editor
* Terminal I/O
* Performance improvements
The following sections provide more detail and cover some of the
major changes made to this release of the Environment.
2. Major New Features
This section summarizes the major features of the Delta release.
Later sections summarize more specific changes and detailed
changes in each of the Environment's interfaces.
2.1. Access Control
Access control allows users and system managers to protect
objects so that only a specified set of users is allowed access.
Files, worlds, and Ada units can be individually protected.
Each such object has an access list that lists groups of users
and the type of access that they are allowed.
User accounts and group assignments can be set by users who have
operator capability. This capability is restricted to the
operator account but can be given to other users if desired. A
privileged mode is available to system managers that allows
access controls to be bypassed.
The Rational Environment's access control system is described in
1\f
more detail in the Rational Environment Reference Manual, Library
Management (LM) book, package Access_List.
2.2. CMVC
A major feature of the Delta release is an integrated
configuration management and version control system. This system
is based on the subsystem model and is a superset of the Gamma
subsystem tools.
In addition to structuring code development and providing
mechanisms for making releases and new versions of subsystem
views, CMVC provides a comprehensive history mechanism, a
check-in/check-out reservation mechanism, and an ability to
create work orders that describe a task and the objects affected
during its completion.
2.3. Code-Only Units and Subsystems
The Delta release provides the ability to create subprograms and
subsystem load views that consist only of the machine code needed
for their execution. This makes it possible to deliver or
release a subprogram or load view without the source. The
resulting object is much smaller and can be loaded and executed
faster than the corresponding full source Ada unit.
Code-only subprograms, called "loaded main programs," contain a
complete copy of all the code required for their execution.
Thus, they have no dependencies on other objects in the system.
This facilitates their movement between R1000s and makes them
very stable on any given R1000.
The subsystem code-only load views can import other subsystem
spec views, and, when executed, all such imports must be resolved
using the normal activity/subsystem loading mechanisms for
successful execution to occur. The code-only view is, again,
much smaller than the corresponding full load view.
2.4. Incremental Editing of Coded Specs
In Gamma, incremental changes to units cannot be made to coded
units; they must be made to installed units. In Delta, it is
possible to make incremental changes to coded specs. This is
desirable because it is not necessary to demote the closure of
the referencers of the spec to installed in order to make the
change. The body of the affected spec must still be demoted,
however.
This facility makes it possible to change low-level specs in a
large Ada program with minimal recompilation.
2\f
2.5. Console Command Interface
A new interface to the Environment is now available via the
operations console. This interface makes it possible to log in
and make backups and other routine operations without the need
for an Environment terminal in the operations area.
The console interface is a line-oriented interface in which
individual commands are entered and executed when the [RETURN]
key is pressed. A simple line-editing capability is available
for command entry. This interface, though not as general as the
full editor interface used with normal Environment sessions, is
very simple and easy to learn.
Additional information can be found in the Rational System
Managers' Guide.
2.6. On-Line Help Editor
A more comprehensive on-line help facility is available in Delta.
The entire Reference Manual is on-line and can be interactively
traversed using the normal Definition mechanism of the
Environment. Additional information on this facility is located
in the Rational Environment Reference Manual, Editing Specific
Types (EST) book, package Help.
2.7. Improved Performance
A number of changes have been made to improve performance of the
R1000 system. Most notably are:
* Display of Ada units now provides near instantaneous access.
* Snapshots are faster, resulting in minimal effect on users.
* Spawning of views in subsystems is faster.
* Format operation on Ada units is faster.
* Networking commands are faster.
* More incremental operations are allowed (creation of exception
and private clauses, editing of multiple statements at one
time), resulting in faster turnaround.
* Overall performance improvements result in more simultaneous
users.

3. General Changes
3.1. Directory Naming
A number of changes have been made in directory naming. They are
summarized below and described more fully in the Rational
Environment Reference Manual, Library Management (LM) book, Key
Concepts.
4\f
-----------------------------------------------------------------
| Name | New Meaning |
-----------------------------------------------------------------
| Initial Context | In Delta, the initial context for name |
| | resolution is the library that contains the |
| | default context if the default context is not|
| | a library itself. Thus the string name "" is|
| | equivalent to "$". The purpose of this |
| | change is to simplify the rule for |
| | determining the naming context of a command. |
| | With this change, the naming context used in |
| | executing a command is the same as the |
| | context used to semanticize the command. |
| | |
| | The string "[]" resolves to the default |
| | context as in Gamma, but, because of this |
| | change, it will have a different meaning than|
| | "" in a Command window associated with an |
| | installed Ada unit. |
-----------------------------------------------------------------
| ? Wildcard | The wildcard character "?" will NOT match |
| | Worlds. Thus, "Foo?" matches all objects |
| | other than worlds that are contained by Foo. |
| | The naming expression "!?" does NOT match all|
| | objects on the machine, and, on most |
| | machines, "!?" matches just "!" since the |
| | only objects contained by "!" are worlds. |
| | |
| | The meaning of "?" was changed to be more |
| | limited, making it less dangerous and to |
| | eliminate the need for the recursive option |
| | on many directory commands. For example, |
| | Lib.Set_Retention_Count ("Foo?", 1) will set |
| | the retention count for Foo and its contents |
| | to 1, but will not change the retention |
| | counts for any worlds nested within "Foo". |
-----------------------------------------------------------------
| ?? Wildcard | The character sequence "??" matches the same |
| | objects matched by "?" in Gamma. For |
| | example, "!??" is all objects in the |
| | universe. |
-----------------------------------------------------------------
| 'Spec Attribute | The 'Spec attribute will match only Ada |
| | library units that are visible parts. (In |
| | Gamma, 'Spec matches non-Ada units.) A |
| | subprogram body that has no separate spec is |
| | matched by 'Spec and 'Body. This change has a|
| | very noticeable impact. |
-----------------------------------------------------------------
| 'C Attribute | Subclasses are now recognized in the 'C |
| | attribute in addition to classes. If a class |
| | and a subclass have the same name, the class |
| | has priority. |
-----------------------------------------------------------------
5\f
-----------------------------------------------------------------
| 'L Attribute | A new attribute is available for explicitly |
| | matching the links associated with a world. |
| | "Foo'L(Any).Bar" matches the link named "Bar"|
| | in the link pack associated with "Foo." This |
| | differs from "Foo'Bar" in that it will not |
| | match a Bar defined within Foo; the simple |
| | name that follows 'L(...) must appear in the |
| | link pack. |
| | |
| | The argument to 'L can be "Any", "External", |
| | "Internal", or any prefix of these. |
-----------------------------------------------------------------
| 'S Attribute | The 'S(Unit State) attribute restricts the |
| | naming expression to match only Ada units |
| | with the specified state. The state can be |
| | any of ARCHIVED, SOURCE, INSTALLED, or CODED,|
| | or expressions involving them. |
-----------------------------------------------------------------
| ; Set Expression | A list of names in set notation ("[A, B, C]")|
| Separator | can be listed separated by semi-colons ("[A; |
| | B; C]"). The effect of this is to require |
| | each name in the set to match at least one |
| | object. If not, an error is returned. |
-----------------------------------------------------------------
| Special Names | Special names such as <SELECTION>, <IMAGE>, |
| | and so on are processed as normal directory |
| | names and resolve to objects specified by the|
| | selection and cursor location. |
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Figure 3.1. - Directory Naming Changes
6\f
3.2. Error Log
The format of the error log has been changed significantly. It
is now much more regular and easier to read. Each entry takes
the form of:
Time Severity Client-Name Condition-Name Message
A few sample entries appear as:
16:41:19 +++ Error_Reporting System Boot 16
16:52:41 +++ EEDB Elaborated NETWORK.8.2.0D
16:52:42 +++ EEDB Elaborated TEST_UTILITIES.8.2.0D
16:53:26 +++ Disk Space_Report (volume 1) free => 203366,
capacity => 244860
16:54:54 --- Low_Level_Action Started
16:54:57 --- Low_Level_Action Completed old = 43; new = 43
(pages)
A set of interfaces is provided to read the error log. These
interfaces can be found in the !Tools.System_Availability
subsystem. In addition to reading the log, there are a number of
log analysis and reporting tools. Tools are also provided to
generate reports from the machine accounting files.
3.3. Job Page Limits
In Delta, each job has a page limit. If the job allocates more
than this number of pages, then attempts to allocate additional
pages result in a Storage_Error exception.
This facility is designed to prevent "runaway" programs from
running the machine out of disk space. The default page limit is
8000 1K pages.
Additional information can be found in the Rational System
Manager's Guide.
3.4. Disk Error Recovery
Delta is somewhat less sensitive to fatal disk errors than Gamma.
Jobs encountering bad disk blocks will still become permanently
hung, but system operation should otherwise continue.
When a disk "data error" occurs, a task in the Environment,
called the "Bad_Block_Notifier," will put entries in the system
error log and send a message to every session's Message window.
If enabled, and possible, Rational will be called via the
diagnostic modem so that appropriate action can be taken
promptly.
7\f
3.5. Remote Passwords
The FTP package can be optimized to obtain account information
including passwords for access to remote machines from the user's
session switches and a special file. See the Rational
Networking-TCP/IP Reference Manual or the Rational Environment
Reference Manual, Session and Job Management (SJM) book, for
additional information on this feature. It provides a simple
interface and working Environment for users who routinely access
a number of different machines via the network.
3.6. Option Parameters/Parameter Parser
A number of Environment operations now take an Options parameter
that allows specification of a variety of optional control
parameters. These options use an Ada aggregate-like notation and
are general in their syntax.
A parameter option parser, provided in !Tools.Parameter_Parser,
allows this same form of options to be utilized by user programs.
See the Rational Environment Reference Manual, Library Management
(LM) book, Key Concepts, for more details.
3.7. Machine.Initialize
The !Machine.Initialize procedure has been reorganized and
structured to allow site-specific changes to be independent of
essential system operations. A separate Initialize_Site
procedure is provided as a home for site-specific customizations.
3.8. Archive
Package Archive replaces the Gamma Source_Archive functions. It
provides the same basic model, but it also includes facilities
for saving and restoring only the code of a subprogram or
subsystem. These facilities couple with the Compilation.Load
command and the CMVC.Make_Code_View command that are used to
produce the code-only objects.
See the Rational Environment Reference Manual, Library Management
(LM) book, package Archive, for additional details.
3.9. Selection
In Gamma, Environment commands that operated on a selection were
sensitive to how the selection was made. Generally, object
selection ([OBJECT] key followed by an arrow key) had to be used
in such commands as incremental editing of Ada units, whereas
region selection ([REGION] key followed by [ or ]), if used for
these types of commands, would result in an error. In Delta,
8\f
selection (either object or region) can be used for all commands
that operate on a "selected" object. This ability, for example,
allows selecting multiple statements (at the same logical level)
in an Ada unit (which can only be done using [REGION]-[,
[REGION]-]) and performing an incremental operation (like [EDIT])
on the entire selected region.
3.10. Editor
3.10.1. Selections
Selection on text objects has been enhanced to operate on logical
blocks of word, sentence, and paragraph, allowing movement to
previous/next and parent/child.
Ada unit selection has become more refined, allowing smaller
selections such as subexpressions to occur.
3.10.2. Insertion Points
Entries in insertion point windows will be indented to the same
indent as the insertion point itself. This makes it easier to
see what the code will look like when it is promoted.
It is also possible to control what an insertion point will be.
This allows incremental insertion of exception handlers. For
example:
begin
XXX; [1]
[2] end;
If [OBJECT]-[I] is pressed with the cursor at position [2], an
exception handler will be created. At position [1], a statement
following XXX will be created.
3.10.3. Comments, Line Breaks, and Page Breaks
The placement of comments differs from Gamma. Comments entered
in column 1 will stay there. Comments that are not entered in
column 1 will be moved to the prevailing indent level. White
space between the end of a statement and the beginning of a
comment is preserved.
Line breaks are kept only if the line ends in two or more blanks.
Such explicit line breaks can be removed by deleting the two
blanks.
Page breaks can be entered into Ada units by entering a form-feed
([CONTROL][L]) in the text. This is done by pressing
[CONTROL]["] followed by [CONTROL][L].
9\f
3.10.4. Return and Indent
The [RETURN] key also behaves differently. It indents to the
indent level of the previous nonblank line.
3.10.5. Command Windows
Command window undo/redo works more on a script model. History
is never discarded. If you back up in the history and enter
additional commands, you can later move forward in the history up
to the end.
Pressing the [EDIT] key in a Command window results in a fresh
[statement] prompt.
The function of deletion of Command windows has changed.
[WINDOW]-[K] or [WINDOW]-[D] removes a Command window and any
recursive Command windows from the screen. [CREATE COMMAND]
Window key brings them back with their prior contents.
[OBJECT]-[G] destroys the Command window and its history.
3.10.6. Displaying Deleted Versions
Is it possible to view deleted versions of objects with the
editor.
3.11. Unchecked_Conversion
A new implementation of Unchecked_Conversion has been provided
with the Delta release. It has virtually no restrictions on what
can be converted, but it does return values different in some
cases from the Gamma implementation.
All bits used to represent the object participate in the
conversion, making it possible to save and later restore
structured data objects.
An additional package, !Tools.Unchecked_Conversions, provides
conversion utilities that offer better execution performance than
the basic Unchecked_Conversion generic.
See the Rational Environment Reference Manual, Programming Tools
(PT) book, packages Tools.Unchecked_Conversion and
Lrm.Unchecked_Conversion, for additional information.
3.12. Unchecked_Deallocation
There is a new implementation of Unchecked_Deallocation in the
Delta release. It provides the basic Ada Unchecked_Deallocation
function for a subset of Ada types. The
!Tools.Allows_Deallocation package is provided to assist in
10\f
determining if unchecked deallocation is allowed for a specific
type.
See the Rational Environment Reference Manual, Programming Tools
(PT) book, package Unchecked_Deallocation, for additional
details.
3.13. Ada Unit State
There is now a new state for Ada units, called archived. This
state, which is logically before the source state, is a compact
form of storage for the unit. In the archived state, only the
image of the unit is maintained, restricting operations to only
viewing the unit.
The normal [DEMOTE] key cannot be used to place a unit into the
archived state; the Compilation.Demote command must be used
instead.
3.14. Terminal I/O
In Gamma, a terminal port had to be disabled for login before an
application program could open it for I/O. This restriction kept
the terminal into which a user is logged from easily being used
for various applications that required total control over the
terminal. In Delta, an application can open for I/O the terminal
that belongs to the session it is run from, allowing application
software to gain control over the user's terminal.
See the Rational Environment Reference Manual, Data and Device
I/O (DIO) book, for more information.
In order to support more flexible terminal usage patterns, Delta
has a notion of user-defined terminal type names. One of these
terminal names represents four characteristics of the terminal
device:
1. Input type: The keyboard characteristics provided by the
terminal. This is the name that defines the terminal. An
input terminal can have its own _Keys file and/or its own
_Commands procedure. If not, those corresponding to the
terminal output type are used (_Macros and _Init are NOT
inherited from the output type).
2. Output type: The driver to be used for producing output.
Currently this is one of the set: Facit, Rational, and VT100.
3. Lines: The number of lines that the terminal supports.
4. Columns: The number of columns that the terminal supports.
The file !Machine.Editor_Data.Terminal_Types contains the
definition of terminals.
11\f
The details of the file format and terminal type recognition are
presented in the Rational Environment Reference Manual, System
Management Utilities (SMU) book, package Terminal.
3.15. Reduced Disk Garbage Generation
Many changes have been made internally in reducing disk garbage
generation. Consumption of disk space is largely a function of
how the R1000 system is used; thus, a particular site may or may
not notice lower disk utilization.
3.16. Pragma Page
Presence of the pragma page; in an Ada unit results in a
form-feed being returned when the unit is read as text if it was
opened with the form parameter "Page_Pragma_Mapping".
This causes, for example, the printer (Queue.Print) to produce
page breaks when the unit is read.
3.17. Programs
A maximum size restriction of 8 megabytes has been imposed for
the Diana trees of individual units. This is not generally an
issue, but, after significant editing operations have been
performed, the tree may have to be compacted by the editor. This
is done automatically, but it may be noticed because it can take
some time for large units.
There is a limit of 255 imported units into a particular unit.
When loops are executed, the code generator automatically emits
code to mark the data space allocation level and restores the
data space in each iteration through the loop. This can be
controlled with the R1000_Cg.Reclaim_Space switch. When true
(the default), data space is restored in each iteration through
the loop.
When a prompt ([statement]) is executed, Program_Error is raised.
A special flavor of this exception is raised in this case so that
the debugger or job termination message makes it clear that the
Program_Error was raised because a prompt was executed.
3.18. Response Profiles
Response profiles control the filtering of log messages, remote
passwords, etc. and are used by many commands. In Delta,
response profiles have been changed so that most commands take a
string that represents the profile.
This string allows easy specification of log filters, for
12\f
example:
Lib.Copy (From => "<REGION>",
To => "<IMAGE>",
Recursive => True,
Response => "<PROFILE>",
Copy_Links => True,
Options => "");
specifies use of the current job profile. Specification of
Response => "Prefix=>Symbols,+++,++*,***"
causes messages for progress and error messages only to be
displayed. See the Rational Environment Reference Manual,
Session and Job Management (SJM) book, package Profile, for more
information.
This change affects the parameter profile of almost all commands.
3.19. Miscellaneous
Promoting an Ada unit to source will make it read-only.
"Flavors" of I/O exceptions have been defined so that the
debugger can give more specific information about a problem. For
example,
Io.Open (F, Io.In_File, "jh)(*&*&^^%");
would be reported in the debugger as:
exception !Io.Io_Exceptions.Name_Error (illformed name)
raised ...
4. Converting from Gamma
This section describes some of the problems likely to be
encountered in converting from Gamma to the Delta release.
4.1. Commonly Used Object Whose Names Have Changed
A number of packages in Delta have different names from Gamma. A
simple correction in a unit that does not install is to change
the with clause to refer to the new name and to add a package
renaming declaration declaring the old name to rename the new
name.
* Directory_Implementation -> Directory (in !Implementation)
* Simple_Text_Io -> Io (in !Io)
13\f
* Code_Generator -> R1000_Code_Generator (in !Implementation)
* Link_Implementation -> Links_Implementation (in
!Implementation)
* Scheduler.Vpid -> Job_Id (in !Commands.Scheduler)
* Ada/Text.Write_File -> Common.Write_File (in !Commands)
* !Compiler_Implementation.Switch_Implementation ->
!Implementation.Switch_Implementation
The parameter names of some operations have changed. The easiest
thing to do is to check the spec of an Environment operation for
which you have a reference that no longer compiles.
4.2. Unchecked_Conversion
For array objects and discriminated records, Delta
Unchecked_Conversion will return all the bounds information as
part of the converted value. This differs from Gamma, where
Unchecked_Conversion tried to hide the extra bits in the object.
This may affect some conversions in existing code. Consult your
Rational technical representative for information about
converting programs that depended on the old implementation.
4.3. Semanticist Changes
Semantic restrictions include two especially noticeable issues:
* Declaration order
* Hiding of subprogram simple name (for example, "function foo
return mumble.foo" is illegal)
4.4. Machine.Initialize
Customizations made by a site to Machine.Initialize should be
redone in Delta as follows:
* Terminal-related initialization changes should be put in
Initialize_Terminals.
* Other general, site-specific initialization should be placed
in Initialize_Site.
* Where possible, do not modify the other parts of
Machine.Initialize.
14\f
4.5. Conversion Hints
Conversion of Gamma subsystems to CMVC should be done
automatically by Archive.Restore.
It is possible to have Archive map switch and link names, as
well. This is controlled by the file !Machine.Archive_Mappings.
See the Rational Environment Reference Manual, Library Management
(LM) book, package Archive, for additional details.
If you use nonstandard pretty-printer switches, they should be
set BEFORE archive tapes from Gamma are restored. The options
become effective only when the unit is first parsed or
Library.Reformat_Image is run.
4.6. Keyboard Macros
A number of keymap changes affect keyboard macros. In addition,
some operations leave the cursor in a different position than in
Gamma. This can also affect operation of keyboard macros.
Incremental operations now use minor windows; keyboard macros may
break because [WINDOW]-[J] no longer works in the window
containing the incremental text.
If you have a key bound to a macro that refers to things present
in Gamma but not in Delta, the macro will no longer work
properly. Other macros will work.
4.7. Naming Changes
Most noticeable are the changed interpretation of "?" and
"'spec".
4.8. Formatting of Ada Units
The Delta Ada image pretty-printer has changed such that Ada
units will be formatted differently in Delta. To maintain the
same format as in Gamma, the option Trailing_Blanks => 0 must be
included in the Archive.Restore command. This will have the
effect of adding two spaces to the end of each line in an Ada
unit, indicating to the formatter NOT to change the location of
the line.
If you want to format these Ada units using the new formatter
rules, remove the two spaces appended to each line and press
[FORMAT]. To remove the blanks:
Editor.Search.Replace_Next
(Target => " }", Replacement => "", Repeat => -1,
Wildcard => True);
15\f
4.9. Subsystems
Tools that traverse the activities that represent Gamma subsystem
imports will need to be changed to traverse Object_Sets in Delta,
because these are the new representation for imports.
Tools that were built on top of the View and History packages
will have to be rewritten to use the new CMVC operations.
5. Changes in !Commands
The following sections summarize the changes that have been made
in the !Commands world. For each section, specific changes are
summarized in tabular form. Entries marked with an asterisk (*)
indicate that the change was made between the Delta beta test
release and the production release.
The following table describes the change code which is used by
the subsequent tables under the heading Change.

5.4. Package Archive
A new package Archive replaces !Commands.Source_Archive. Archive
has a similar structure and function to Source_Archive, but it
can save and restore additional types of objects, including
code-only objects. Archive is described more fully in the
Rational Environment Reference Manual, Library Management (LM)
book, package Archive.

----------------------------------------------------------------
| Copy | Rename | Replaces Transfer. Used to copy |
| | | structures between R1000s via the |
| | | network or on the same R1000. |
| | | Options parameter added. |
----------------------------------------------------------------
| Server | New | Starts archive server. Server |
| | | handles Copy requests between |
| | | networked R1000s. |
----------------------------------------------------------------
| Status | New* | Displays status of archive server. |
| | | Used to diagnose problems with |
| | | servers and monitor progress. |
----------------------------------------------------------------
| Trailing_Blanks | New* | Option to Restore and Copy. |
| Option | | Specifies the number of trailing |
| | | blanks needed on a line to consider|
| | | the line break as one that should |
| | | be retained in the program. If not|
| | | retained, the pretty-printer will |
| | | break lines as it sees fit. The |
| | | value 0 causes all line breaks to |
| | | be retained. The default is 2, |
| | | which preserves line breaks |
| | | inserted with the editor. A large |
| | | value causes removal of all such |
| | | line breaks. |
----------------------------------------------------------------
| Code Option | New* | The Code option allows one to |
| | | specify that only the code of a |
| | | loaded main program of subsystem |
| | | code view be saved. |
----------------------------------------------------------------
Figure 5.5. - Summary of Package Archive
Additional notes on Archive: Copy and Restore will ignore a unit
that does not have For_Prefix as a prefix of its name.
The Target_Keys for a world are saved and restored with the
21\f
world.
If a subsystem view is restored and there is no surrounding
subsystem structure, then the subsystem structure is created.
Cmvc_Maintenance.Check_Consistency is called for each restored or
copied view in order to register that view with the CMVC
database.
When a unit is restored without its parents, the parents are
created to be the proper class, rather than just worlds as was
done in Gamma.
22\f
5.5. Package CMVC
This new package in Delta replaces the bulk of the old View and
History packages. It provides a new Configuration Management and
Version Control system. There are operations for creating and
managing subsystems, views, individual units, and information
about them.
5.6. Package CMVC_Maintenance
This new package defines a number of CMVC operations for
diagnosing CMVC problems and checking CMVC subsystems.
5.7. Package Common
Package Common contains operations that are common to most of the
different object editors.

5.8. Package Compilation
Most compilation operations can now take activities as indirect
files. Most operations also use a new parameter format in which
special strings rather than enumeration constants are used to
specify objects and compilation limits. See the Rational
Environment Reference Manual, Library Management (LM) book,
package Compilation, for more details.

5.9. Package Daemon
The daemon management software has been rewritten for Delta. It
is more robust and provides better management and control of
daemons.
The following are the major changes in daemon operation:
* Daemons run at normal Environment priorities rather than low
priorities. This prevents important daemon execution from
being blocked by a high load of user jobs.
* Warning messages are issued to all users when major daemons
are about to run. This makes it clear what is going on when
system operation slows or stops because of daemon operation.
* Most daemons run much faster, reducing the impact on system
availability.

5.10. Package Debug
The Debugger window is an object editor allowing selections,
definition, copying regions, and the like.
The numeric keypad can be used to specify stack frame numbers for
many commands.
See the Rational Environment Reference Manual, Debugging (DEB)
book, for more details. A few of the command changes are
summarized below.

Figure 5.11. - Changes to Package File_Utilities
5.13. Package Ftp
This networking command spec for operating the File Transfer
Protocol is now located directly in !Commands. It is no longer
in a subsystem.
Package !Commands.Ftp now obtains usernames, passwords, and
account names from session switches, using the new switches
Remote_Passwords and Remote_Sesssions. The old switches
(Ftp.Username, Ftp.Password, Ftp.Account) are still supported;
the new switch will be used if the old one is set to the null
(default) string. In more detail:
* If you pass a null username to Ftp (either explicitly or
because your Ftp.Username switch is set to null), then Ftp
will get a username from the file pointed to by
Profile.Remote_Passwords.
* If you pass a null password to Ftp (either explicitly or
because your Ftp.Password switch is set to null), and your
Ftp.Prompt_For_Password switch is set to false, then Ftp will
get a password from the file pointed to by
Profile.Remote_Passwords.
* If you pass a null account to Ftp (either explicitly or
because your Ftp.Account switch is set to null), and your
Ftp.Prompt_For_Account switch is set to false, then Ftp will
get an account from the file pointed to by
Profile.Remote_Sessions.
All Ftp users are encouraged to start storing their Ftp
34\f
usernames, passwords, and accounts in Remote_Passwords and
Remote_Sessions files, and to set Ftp.[Username,Password,Account]
= "", and Ftp.[Prompt_for_Password,Prompt_for_Account] = false.
The Remote_Passwords and Remote_Sessions files are both text
files, with a certain format. Each line of the Remote_Passwords
file has a machine name, a username, and a password, in that
order, separated by blanks. Each line of the Remote_Sessions
file has a machine name and a session (account) name, in that
order, separated by blanks. The last line of either file may
start with "others" in place of a machine name; the rest of the
line provides the default for machines not explicitly named in
previous lines. The reserved string <PROMPT> may appear in place
of any username, password, or session (account) name, indicating
that the user should be prompted interactively whenever the value
is needed. For example:
Remote_Passwords file:
ratnet_mv brian loop/bar -- password for ratnet_mv is
"loop/bar"
barney brian <PROMPT> -- prompt for password for barney
others brian -- null password for other machines
Remote_Sessions file:
barney remote
others S_1

----------------------------------------------------------------
| Subprogram | Change | Notes |
----------------------------------------------------------------
| Copy | Func | Copy subsumes Copy_Into by treating|
| | | parameters that refer to libraries |
| | | as meaning to place an object into |
| | | that library, for example. The |
| | | spec for Library.Copy describes all|
| | | the combinations of parameters and |
| | | their exact interpretation. An |
| | | Options parameter has also been |
| | | added, but there are presently no |
| | | options. Copy also preserves |
| | | edit/modify times when objects are |
| | | copied. |
----------------------------------------------------------------

| | | been changed considerably and is |
| | | now produced incrementally rather |
| | | than at the end of processing. The|
| | | display indicates the individual |
| | | and cumulative space used by |
| | | objects in a particular part of the|
| | | directory structure. |

9.1. Package Unchecked_Conversion
Unchecked_Conversion has been changed so that there are almost no
restrictions on the source and target types. See the Rational
Environment Reference Manual, Programming Tools (PT) book, for
more details.
The semantics of Unchecked_Conversion have also changed. This
means that different values may be returned for types with
discriminants than was the case in Gamma.
9.2. Package Unchecked_Deallocation
This generic did not recycle space in Gamma. It now maintains a
free list and reallocates deallocated space. See the Rational
Environment Reference Manual, Programming Tools (PT) book, for
more details.

10. Known Problems
This section lists currently known problems in the Delta 0
release. Workarounds are also listed.
* Comp.Demote to Archived: Gets Nonexistent_Page_Error if
demoting an <image> that is open but has no changes (banner
flag " "). Workaround is to promote to Source ([SOURCE UNIT]
key), then demote to archived.
* Archive.Restore has a known bug that prevents compatibility
information from being restored for a view when a single view
has been saved and then renamed during the restore. Restoring
the compatibility information after the fact explicitly is the
workaround.
* There is a bug in the implementation of package
Transport_Name. If, at the time the system is booted, the
file !Machine.Transport_Name_Map does not exist or cannot be
read by the system, then a task in this package will
terminate, and any subsequent attempts to resolve a machine
name will fail with Tasking_Error. This means that FTP,
Telnet, and Archive.Copy won't work, since they both resolve
names. The workaround is to fix the Transport_Name_Map and
reboot the system.
* When editing CMVC controlled Ada units, subunits with parents
not checked out might semanticize but not promote.
* Errors due to use clause imported identifier conflicts are
detected by promote, but not semanticize. Semanticize says no
errors, but unit fails to promote.
* In the Search_List object editor, the [DEFINITION] key does
not work. To work around the problem, select the searchlist
entry and execute the command Definition ("<text>");
* If you enter:
type t is record
v : integer; -- comment1
-- continuation of comment 1
-- comment2
end record;
and press [FORMAT], the first two comment lines vanish. The
same thing happens in generic formal parts, but nowhere else.
* In Window_Io: If a program asks for the size of the I/O window
before it has written anything to the window, the answer is
somewhat random (though 1 by 1 is by far the most common
result). The workaround is to not ask for the size until
after the first output (which brings up the window and confers
a size on it).
69\f
* If you run Library.Compact_Library on a library that
someone else has a window on, their context will become void
and attempts to execute commands from that library may result
in Nonexistent_Page_Error being raised. Workaround is to
[OBJECT]-[G] the window and revisit the library. It is also
recommended that Compact_Library only be run off-hours when it
is unlikely to interfere with users.

11. Documentation
The first section below contains a description of the differences
between the Gamma and the Delta documentation for the Rational
Environment.
The remaining sections contain a description of the discrepancies
between the Delta version of the documentation and the Delta
release of the Rational Environment.
The release information for each book is printed beginning on a
new page, so that you can place a copy of the applicable release
information in your copy of each book.
11.1. Differences between Gamma and Delta Documentation
The Gamma version of the documentation was organized as a single
documentation family. Thus, the Rational Environment Reference
Manual, the Rational Networking # TCP/IP Reference Manual, and
the Rational Target Build Utility Reference Manual were all part
of the same family.
In contrast, the Delta version of the documentation has been
reorganized by product family. Thus, the Rational Environment
Reference Manual, the Rational Networking # TCP/IP Reference
Manual, and the Rational Target Build Utility Reference Manual
are no longer part of the same family of documentation. Each
manual belongs to the family of documentation for its
corresponding product family.
In the Gamma version of the documentation, each volume of a
multivolume reference manual set was referred to as a manual;
however, in the Delta version of the documentation, the naming
conventions have changed. Each logically organized set of
reference entries is referred to as a book. Two or more
logically unrelated books may be located in the same volume.
Finally, the entire set of books, including the Reference Summary
and the Project Management Manual from the Gamma release, is
called the Rational Environment Reference Manual.
For the Delta version of the documentation, the manuals that are
part of the Rational Environment product family include:
* Rational Environment Reference Manual
* Rational Environment User's Guide
* Rational Environment Basic Operations
* Reference Manual for the Ada Programming Language, Appendix F
(one Appendix F per target)
71\f
11.1.1. The Rational Environment Reference Manual
In Gamma, the Rational Environment Reference Manual consisted of
the following six-manual set:
* Reference Summary
* Editing Images / Editing Specific Types / Debugging
* Workspace Management
* Input/Output
* Programming Utilities
* Environment Utilities / System Management Utilities /
Predefined Library Packages
In the Delta version of the documentation, the Rational
Environment Reference Manual consists of eleven numbered volumes
as shown below. Each book (except the Reference Summary) has a
two- or three-letter abbreviated name, shown below in parentheses
after the book name. For example, the abbreviation for Editing
Specific Types is EST.
1. Reference Summary / Master Index
2. Editing Images (EI) / Editing Specific Types (EST)
3. Debugging (DEB)
4. Session and Job Management (SJM)
5. Library Management (LM)
6. Text I/O (TIO)
7. Data and Device I/O (DIO)
8. String Tools (ST)
9. Programming Tools (PT)
10. System Management Utilities (SMU)
11. Project Management (PM)
The page numbers of each book of the Rational Environment
Reference Manual are prefixed by the book abbreviation. Thus,
page 10 in the EST book is numbered EST-10.
In the Delta version of the Rational Environment Reference
Manual, a section has been added to the beginning of each book,
called How to Use This Book. This section describes the book
organization and methods for locating information.
72\f
In addition, the final tabbed section of each book is an index
for that book. The Master Index, containing the index for all of
the books in the Rational Environment Reference Manual, is
located in the Reference Summary. For the Delta version of the
documentation, a number of entries have been added to the indexes
to make them more useful.
73\f
All of the Rational Environment Reference Manual books except
Project Management (PM) are currently available. The topics to
be covered by this book are currently discussed in the following
materials:
* Rational Environment Training: Advanced Topics
* Rational Environment Training: Large-Systems Development
The following table illustrates the correlation between the
contents of the Gamma version manuals and the Delta version
books. In several instances, the name of a Gamma manual appears
more than once. In those instances, the contents of the Gamma
manual have been distributed among several books for the Delta
version.

Also on page S-1, the first line of the first paragraph under The
Wildcard ?? should read:
The double question mark (??) matches zero or more components
in a ...
On page S-4, Class Attributes, each of the class attributes is
described as matching any objects of that class in the system.
Actually, class attributes are filters that work with naming.
They filter and thus match objects of that class.

format.
On page EI-49, the description for the Off procedure should read:
Unselects the current selection. The cursor and the selection
may be in different windows.
On page EI-51, the following paragraph should be added to the end
of the Description:
If the Repeat parameter is negative, the direction of an
operation is reversed.
On page EI-65, the description for the Delete procedure should
read:
Removes the window from the screen.
In a minor window or a Command window, the space for the
window is returned to the major window with which it is
associated. In a major window, the procedure removes the
major window and its contents from the screen. Windows
removed from the screen are not destroyed. A major window and
its contents can be retrieved from the Window Directory by
retrieving its Definition. A Command window and its contents
can be retrieved by creating the Command window again. A
minor window and its contents can be retrieved by pressing
77\f
[DEFINITION] from the enclosing Ada unit or library or by
using the Window Directory.
On page EI-66, the last sentence of the End_Of procedure
description should read:
If Offset is greater than the number of lines in the window,
it scrolls the image to move the cursor to the top of the
window.

the end of a line will force a line break.
On page EST-16, the description for Common.Object.Copy should
read:
Copies the selected element to the cursor position if the
target is editable source. This procedure cannot be used on
read-only source. This procedure copies and promotes the
selection if the target is installed or coded.
On page EST-17, the description for Common.Object.Move should
read:
Moves the selected element to the cursor position if the
target is editable source. This procedure cannot be used on
read-only source. This procedure moves and promotes the
selection if the target is installed or coded.
11.4.2. Package Ada

displays on the screen the context in which the last program
to use the window ran.
On page EST-104, the text for Ada images should read:
Copies the selected element to the cursor position if the
target is editable source. This procedure cannot be used on
read-only source. This procedure copies and promotes the
selection if the target is not source.
On page EST-112, the text for Ada images should read:
Moves the selected element to the cursor position if the
target is editable source. This procedure cannot be used on
read-only source. This procedure moves and promotes the
selection if the target is not source.
11.4.4. Text Images
On page EST-141, the first paragraph of the text for the
Common.Enclosing procedure should read:
Brings up a window that contains an image of the enclosing

procedure Source (Location : Path_Name :=""; Stack_Frame :
Integer := 0);
On page DEB-121, the fourth paragraph should read:
If the null string (the default) is specified and a selection
exists in the Debugger window, that selection will be used.
If a special name (such as "<SELECTION>") is used, but the
item is not designated, then the procedure finds the location
in which the current task stopped. Otherwise, the procedure
attempts to find the most reasonable definition of the given
pathname and the current debugging context.
82\f
11.6. Session and Job Management (SJM)
This section describes the discrepancies between the
documentation contained in the Session and Job Management book
and the Delta release of the Rational Environment.
11.6.1. Key Concepts
On page SJM-4, under Searchlists, the default searchlist should
be:
$`
!COMMANDS
!LOCAL
!COMMANDS.ABBREVIATIONS`
!MACHINE.RELEASE.CURRENT.COMMANDS`
!IO
!TOOLS
!TOOLS.NETWORKING
On page SJM-5, under Naming Objects, a section should be added as
follows:
Naming and Access Control
To successfully resolve the name of an object, read access
from ! through all of the worlds enclosing the object is
required. If the executing job does not have read access to
all of the necessary worlds, the name will not be resolved.
On page SJM-5, under Special Names, an entry for the following
special name should be added:
"<SWITCH>" If a switch file is selected, it references the
selected switch file. If no switch file is selected, it
references the library switch file associated with the current
image.
On page SJM-7, under The Substitution Character #, the last
sentence should read:
For example, if there are Ada units in the world
!Users.Stooges called Larry, Curly, and Moe, and the user
wants to copy them into a world called
!Users.Stooges.New_World, the user can build the target name
parameter (from the source name parameter !Users.Stooges.@)
using substitution characters as follows: !#.#.New_World.#.
On page SJM-8, under The Substitution Character ?, the last
sentence should read:
For example, to copy everything in the world up through the
83\f
next-level world !Users.Mary to !Users.John, the source string
would be !Users.Mary? and the target string would be
!Users.John?.
On page SJM-13, under Link Attributes, the second sentence should
read:
For example, My_World'L.My_Link matches the link named My_Link
in the set of links associated with My_World.
11.6.2. Package Job
On page SJM-20, the Description for procedure Connect should
read:
Connects the terminal to the specified job.
Connected jobs can bring up windows. Terminal input is queued
until a job completes or reads the keys. After this procedure
is executed, the job can read keyboard input with facilities
in package Window_Io (DIO). A job can be disconnected by
using the Interrupt procedure (the [CONTROL][G] combination).
11.6.3. Package Log
On page SJM-34, a description of the special name "<SWITCH>",
described earlier in Key Concepts, should be added to the
description of special names.
On page SJM-57, the specification for procedure Set_Error should
read:
procedure Set_Error (To_Be : Name := ">>FILE NAME<<");
The following paragraph should be added to the end of the
Description:
This procedure also sets the file type in the job profile to
Use_Error so that log messages will go to this newly
established file.
On page SJM-59, the description of the To_Be parameter should
read:
Specifies the filename to be set to Current_Output. The
default parameter placeholder ">>FILE NAME<<" must be replaced
or an error will result.
On page SJM-60, the specification for procedure Set_Output should
read:
procedure Set_Output (To_Be : Name := ">>FILE NAME<<");
84\f
The following paragraph should be added to the end of the
Description:
This procedure also sets the file type in the job profile to
Use_Output so that log messages will go to this newly
established file.
The following procedures should be added to the documentation for
the Log package:
_________________________________________________________________
_________________
function Image (Kind : Profile.Msg_Kind) return String;
Description
Returns the three-letter prefix used for the indicated Msg_Kind.
Parameters
Kind : Profile.Msg_Kind;
Specifies the kind of message.
_________________________________________________________________
_________________
procedure Put_Errors (Errors : Error_Messages.Errors;
Response : Profile.Response_Profile :=
Profile.Get);
Description
Enters the specified error messages into the log.
Parameters
Errors : Error_Messages.Errors;
Specifies the error messages to be entered into the log.
Response : Profile.Response_Profile := Profile.Get;
Specifies how to respond to errors, how to generate logs, and
what activities to use during execution of this command. The
default is the job response profile.
_________________________________________________________________
_________________
procedure Put_Line (Object1 : Directory.Object;
Message : String := "";
Object2 : Directory.Object := Directory.Nil;
Kind : Profile.Msg_Kind := Profile.Note_Msg;
Response : Profile.Response_Profile :=
85\f
Profile.Get);
procedure Put_Line (Object1 : Directory.Version;

Profile.Get);
procedure Put_Line (Object1 : Diana.Tree;
Message : String := "";
Object2 : Diana.Tree := Diana.Empty;
Kind : Profile.Msg_Kind := Profile.Note_Msg;
Response : Profile.Response_Profile :=
Profile.Get);
Description
Enters a message into the log, if messages of the Kind specified
are to be included.
If the message does go into the log, the name of the specified
object(s) is computed and inserted into the text of the message.
The location for the name of the first object is indicated by the
symbol "<1>". If this string is not found in the message, the
name of the object is placed at the beginning of the message.
The location for the name of the second object is indicated by
the symbol "<2>". If this string is not found in the message,
the name of the object is placed at the end of the message. The
Directory.Naming.Unique_Full_Name procedure is used to generate
the name of the object when the symbols given above are used or
if no symbols are found. The symbols "<<1>>" and "<<2>>" cause
the value of Directory.Naming.Get_Simple_Name to be used instead.
If either object is nil, then its corresponding symbol is
replaced by the null string.
Parameters
Object1 : Directory.Object;
Object1 : Directory.Version:
Object1 : Diana.Tree;
Specifies the first object.
Message : String := "";
Specifies the message. It may contain the special symbols <1>,
<2>, <<1>>, or <<2>> to position the names of the first and
second objects within the message.
Object2 : Directory.Object := Directory.Nil;
Object2 : Directory.Version := Directory.Nil;
86\f
Object2 : Diana.Tree := Diana.Empty;
Specifies the second object.
Kind : Profile.Msg_Kind := Profile.Note_Msg;
Specifies the type of note. The default is Profile.Note_Msg.
Response : Profile.Response_Profile := Profile.Get;
Specifies how to respond to errors, how to generate logs, and
what activities to use during execution of this command. The
default is the job response profile.
_________________________________________________________________
_________________
The Put_Line_Generic generic procedure enters messages into the
log. Its specification is:
generic
type Object_Type is private;
with function Full (Object : Object_Type) return String;
with function Simple (Object : Object_Type) return String;
with function Is_Nil (Object : Object_Type) return Boolean;
with function Nil return Object_Type;
procedure Put_Line_Generic
(Object1 : Object_Type;
Message : String := "";
Object2 : Object_Type := Nil;
Kind : Profile.Msg_Kind := Profile.Note_Msg;
Response : Profile.Response_Profile :=
Profile.Get);
The Object_Type type is the type of the object to be displayed.
The Full function returns the full name of the object. The
Simple function returns the simple name of the object. The
Is_Nil function returns a Boolean specifying whether the name is
nil. The Nil function returns a nil value.
The Put_Line procedures in this package provides the same
functionality for objects of type Directory.Object,
Directory.Version, and Diana.Tree.
Description
Enters a message into the log, if messages of the Kind specified
are to be included.
If the message does go into the log, the name of the specified
object(s) is computed and inserted into the text of the message.
The location for the name of the first object is indicated by the
symbol "<1>". If this string is not found in the message, the
name of the object is placed at the beginning of the message.
The location for the name of the second object is indicated by
87\f
the symbol "<2>". If this string is not found in the message,
the name of the object is placed at the end of the message. The
Full procedure is used to generate the name of the object when
the symbols given above are used or if no symbols are found. The
symbols "<<1>>" and "<<2>>" cause the value of Simple_Name to be
used instead. If either object Is_Nil, then its corresponding
symbol is replaced by the null string.
Parameters
Object1 : Object_Type;
Specifies the first object.
Message : String :="";
Specifies the message. It may contain the special symbols <1>,
<2>, <<1>>, or <<2>> to position the names of the first and
second objects within the message.
Object2 : Object_Type := Nil;
Specifies the second object. The default specifies the Nil
object.
Kind : Profile.Msg_Kind := Profile.Note_Msg;
Specifies the type of note. The default is Profile.Note_Msg.
Response : Profile.Response_Profile := Profile.Get;
Specifies how to respond to errors, how to generate logs, and
what activities to use during execution of this command. The
default is the job response profile.
_________________________________________________________________

11.6.8. Package What
On pages SJM-256 and SJM-257, the specifications for procedures
Command and Does should read as follows:
procedure Command (Clue : String := "");
procedure Does (Name : String := "");
94\f
11.7. Library Management (LM)
This section describes the discrepancies between the
documentation contained in the Library Management book and the
Delta release of the Rational Environment.
11.7.1. Key Concepts
On page LM-7, under Naming Objects, a section should be added as
follows:
Naming and Access Control
To successfully resolve the name of an object, read access
from ! through all of the worlds enclosing the object is
required. If the executing job does not have read access to
all of the necessary worlds, the name will not be resolved.
On page LM-8, under Special Names, an entry for the following
special name should be added:
"<SWITCH>" If a switch file is selected, it references the
selected switch file. If no switch file is selected, it
references the library switch file associated with the current
image.
On page LM-10, under The Substitution Character #, the last
sentence should read:
For example, if there are Ada units in the world
!Users.Stooges called Larry, Curly, and Moe, and the user
wants to copy them into a world called
!Users.Stooges.New_World, the user can build the target name
parameter (from the source name parameter !Users.Stooges.@)
using substitution characters as follows: !#.#.New_World.#.
On page LM-10, under The Substitution Character ?, the last
sentence should read:
For example, to copy everything in the world up through the
next-level world !Users.Mary to !Users.John, the source string
would be !Users.Mary? and the target string would be
!Users.John?.
On page LM-15, under Link Attributes, the second sentence should
read:
For example, My_World'L.My_Link matches the link named My_Link
in the set of links associated with My_World.
95\f
11.7.2. Package Archive
In the introduction to package Archive, references to the
Overwrite option should be deleted. The literals associated with
the Overwrite option are separate options, and thus are expressed
as "Updated" rather than "Overwrite=Updated". The references to
the Overwrite option occur on pages LM-92 through LM-97 in the
examples.
The table on page LM-91 should read:

Figure 11.2. - Package Archive Table
On pages LM-105 and LM-106, for the Copy command, the literals
specified under the Overwrite option are each individual options.
Thus, there is no longer an Overwrite option. The following
options should be added to the description of the Options
parameter for the Copy command:
98\f
Code=load_proc list Specifies that the
code-only units for the
named Load_Procs are to
be copied. This option
is needed only when it is
desired to copy code-only
units from an archive
that also contains the
spec for the Load_Proc,
which is not to be
copied.
Effort_Only Shows what would be
copied if the Copy
command is run with this
set of parameters.
Existing_Objects Use the Existing_Objects
option to cause only the
existing objects to be
copied and overwritten.
Ignore_Cdb Specifies that no
compatibility database
information is to be
copied.
Remake Like the Promote option,
except that any objects
outside of the copied set
that were demoted by the
Replace option will be
repromoted. If the
No_Mains option is
specified, dependent main
programs will not be
recoded.
Verbose Specifies that extra log
messages are to be
generated, describing
more fully the steps of
the Copy process.
On pages LM-118 and LM-119, for the Restore command, the literals
specified under the Overwrite option are each individual options.
Thus, there is no Overwrite option. The following options should
be added to the description of the Options parameter for the
Restore command:
99\f
Code=load_procs Specifies that the
code-only units for the
named Load_Procs are to
be restored. This option
is needed only when it is
desired to copy code-only
units from an archive
that also contains the
spec for the Load_Proc,
which is not to be
restored.
Effort_Only Shows what would be
restored if the Restore
command is run with this
set of parameters.
Existing_Objects Use the Existing_Objects
option to cause only the
existing objects to be
restored and overwritten.
Ignore_Cdb Specifies that no
compatibility database
information is to be
restored.
Remake Like the Promote option,
except that any objects
outside of the restore
set that were demoted by
the Replace option will
be repromoted. If the
No_Mains option is
specified, dependent main
programs will not be
recoded.
Trailing_Blanks=inte Specifies the number of
ger trailing blanks that are
to be considered
significant when parsing
Ada units during the
Restore. If a line ends
in more than this number
of blanks, the line break
will be preserved in the
image of the restored Ada
unit. The default is 2.
100\f
Verbose Specifies that extra log
messages are to be
generated, describing
more fully the steps of
the Restore process.
On page LM-125, the Gamma0 and Gamma1 options are not part of the
Version option. Both are separate options, and the Version
option can specify a three digit version number only.
The following options should be added to the description of the
Options parameter for the Save command:
Code=load_procs Specifies that code is to
be saved for the named
load_procs. If no
specification follows the
Code option, the Objects
parameter specification
is used instead.
Effort_Only Shows what would be saved
if the Save command is
run with this set of
parameters.
Ignore_Cdb Specifies that no
compatibility database
information is to be
saved.
The following procedures should be added to the documentation for
package Archive:
_________________________________________________________________
_________________
procedure Server;
Description
Starts the archive server.
_________________________________________________________________
_________________
procedure Status (For_Job : Machine.Job);

On page LM-188, Example 1 should read:
The function:
found ("section 3","test");
returns the number of lines that contain the string "section
3" in the specified file.
On page LM-188, Example 2 should read:
The function:
found ("[^abc]","test",true);
104\f
returns the number of lines that contain anything except the
characters a, b, and c in the specified file.
The following procedure should be added to package
File_Utilities:
_________________________________________________________________
_________________
procedure Sort (File : Name := "<IMAGE>";
Result : Name := "";
Key_1 : String := "";
Key_2 : String := "";
Key_3 : String := "");
Description
Sorts a file using the specified keys.
In the file, a field is defined as a series of nonblank
characters separated by one or more blanks. Field 1 is the first
field. Field 1 always includes column 1, even if blank. If no
field is given, the entire line, blanks included, is the field.
Parameters
Result : Name := "";
Specifies the name of the file that will contain the results of
the sort.
Key_1 : String := ""
Specifies a key on which to sort the file. Keys use the same
syntax as the Options parameter. For further information on
specifying the Options parameter, see the Key Concepts.
Note that these parameters have unique first characters. Thus,
the initial character or any number of additional characters is
sufficient to specify the option. If no key is specified, an
ascending ASCII sort on full lines is performed.
Field=>number
Field specifies that the sort should be performed on the field
number specified. Field 1 is the first field on the line. It
always includes column 1, even if column 1 is blank. If no
field is given, the entire line, including blanks, is
considered part of the field.
Start_Column=>number
Specifies the starting column number relative to the start of
the field.
105\f
End_Column=>number
Specifies the ending column number relative to the start of
the field. The default value is Integer'Last.
Reverse Boolean
When true, specifies a descending sort for the key.
Numeric Boolean
When true, performs a sort on the numeric value of the field
represented as a Long_Integer.
Key_2 : String := ""
See the description for the Key_1 parameter above. Note that
Key_2 is ignored if Key_1 is not specified.
Key_3 : String := ""
See the description for the Key_1 parameter above. Note that
Key_3 is ignored if Key_2 is not specified.
Example:
"Field => 2, Start_Column => 5, End_Column => 7, Reverse,
Numeric"
or
"F=2, S=5, E=7, R, N"
will sort field 2, columns 5 through 7, descending (reversed)
using a numeric comparison.
"S=10, E=15"
will sort using ASCII ordering, columns 10 through 15 of the
entire line.
_________________________________________________________________
_________________
11.7.5. Package Library
A description of the special name "<SWITCH>", described in Key
Concepts, should be added to the description of special names on
page LM-199.
On page LM-200, in the table, the first item, (table) should be
{table}.
On page LM-257, the last paragraph under the Restrictions header
106\f

Rename forms an object whose name is obtained by replacing the
simple name of the object specified in the From parameter with
the entire string specified by the To parameter (after using
substitution).
On page LM-258, the specification for the Resolve procedure
should read:
procedure Resolve (Name_Of : Name := "<TEXT>";
Target_Name : Name := "";
Objects_Only : Boolean := False;
Response : String := "<PROFILE>");
The description of the Objects_Only parameter should read:
Specifies whether to restrict the resolution of names to
objects or to include Ada declarations, too. Note that even
when Objects is false and the wildcards ? and ?? are used, the
name resolution will descend into Ada objects only if
immediately preceded by the grave (`). Thus, the name Foo
resolves to Foo, Foo'body, and its separate subunits. Foo`?
resolves to all declarations within Foo and its secondary
units.
The documentation for the Space procedure should be modified as
follows:
_________________________________________________________________
_________________
The specification should read:
procedure Space (For_Object : Name := "<IMAGE>";
Levels : Positive := 2;
Recursive : Boolean := True;
Each_Object : Boolean := False;
Each_Version : Boolean := False;
Space_Types : Boolean := False;
Response : String := "<PROFILE>";
Options : String := "");
The following description for the Levels parameter should be
added:
Levels : Positive := 2;
Specifies the number of library levels. This parameter is used
only if the Space_Types parameter is false.
The following sentence should be added to the description of the
Each_Version parameter:
This parameter is used only if the Space_Types parameter is
true.
107\f
The description for the Space_Types parameter should read:
Space_Types : Boolean := False;
Specifies whether to break down the information into the
different types of space used. The default is not to break down
the information. When Space_Types is false, it shows the space
utilization in pages for For_Object. It also displays space
usage for contained libraries, unless Recursive is false. If
Recursive is false, only the space for the specified object is
displayed. Thus, if Recursive is true, the space is cumulatively
totaled.
11.7.6. Package Links
On page LM-275, in the introduction, in the fifth paragraph, the
fourth sentence should read:
When an Ada unit withs a unit using a link name, the unit
actually referenced is the one designated by the source name
associated with the link name.
11.7.7. Package Switches
On page LM-308, a description of the special name "<SWITCH>"
should be added to the description of special names, as described
in Key Concepts.
The descriptions for the following switch should be added to the
Library Switch Descriptions found on pages LM-309 through LM-314.
Elab_Order_Listing Creates a file containing a listing of the
elaboration order of the compilation units when a main program is
executed. This file can be created only for main programs. The

On page LM-326, the specification for the Display procedure
should read:
procedure Display (Names : Composite_Name := "@.@";
File : File_Name := "<SWITCH>";
Response : String := "<PROFILE>");
The description of the File parameter should read:
Specifies the switch file in which switches are to be edited.
The default is the currently selected switch file or the
switch file associated with the directory or world enclosing
the current image.
On page LM-328, the specification for the Dissociate procedure
should read:
procedure Dissociate (Library : String := "<IMAGE>";
Response : String := "<PROFILE>");
The description of the Library parameter should read:
Specifies the directory or world for which the associated
library switch file is desired. The default is the directory
or world enclosing the image.
On page LM-329, the specification for the Edit procedure should
read:
procedure Edit (File : File_Name := "<SWITCH>");
On page, LM-333, the specification for the Of_Library constant
should read:
Of_Library : constant File_Name := "<SWITCH>";
The following sentence should be added to the end of the
Description:
If a switch file is selected, however, that switch file is
referenced.
109\f
On page LM-334, the specification for the Of_Session constant
should read:
Of_Session : constant File_Name := "<SESSION>";

110\f
11.8. Text I/O (TIO)
This section describes the discrepancies between the
documentation contained in the Text I/O book and the Delta
release of the Rational Environment.
11.8.1. The Form Parameter
The following procedures specify that the Form parameter is not
supported for them:
Page TIO-12, procedure Append
Page TIO-20, procedure Create
Page TIO-63, procedure Open
Page TIO-169, procedure Create
Page TIO-193, procedure Open
However, the following terminal-specific I/O and Ada unit I/O
Form parameters are supported for the procedures above:

break.
11.8.2. Package Io
On page TIO-43, the Description of procedure Get should read:
Reads all or part of a line from a file.
This procedure reads characters from the current line until
either Item is full or the line is exhausted. When all of the
line is read, any line, page, or file terminators are skipped.
The Last parameter returns the index in Item of the last
character read. If the line is empty, the Last parameter is
set to one less than Item'First.
The Boolean out parameters are set to indicate whether the
characters read completed reading of a line, a page, or the
entire file. Note that End_Of_File implies End_Of_Page and
End_Of_Page implies End_Of_Line.
111\f

11.10. String Tools (ST)
This section describes the discrepancies between the
documentation contained in the String Tools book and the Delta
release of the Rational Environment.
11.10.1. Package Table_Formatter
On page ST-95, the specification for type Field_List should read:
type Field_List is array (Integer range <>) of Integer;
At the end of the Description on that page, the following
paragraph should be added:
If a variable of type Field_List has a negative value, the
table is sorted on the specified field in descending, rather
than ascending, order. A value of 0 results in a sort on the
first field in ascending order.
On page ST-100, the specification for procedure Sort should read:
procedure Sort (On_Field : Integer := 1);
procedure Sort (On_Field : Field_List);
At the end of the Description on that page, the following
paragraph should be added:
If a variable of type Field_List has a negative value, the
table is sorted on the specified field in descending, rather
than ascending, order. A value of 0 results in a sort on the
first field in ascending order.

11.11. Programming Tools (PT)
This section describes the discrepancies between the
documentation contained in the Programming Tools book and the
Delta release of the Rational Environment.
11.11.1. Package System
On page PT-163, in the specification, the word
Unchecked_Conversions is part of the comment on the previous
line, and thus should appear as:
-- Unchecked_Conversions
11.11.2. Package Unchecked_Conversion
On page PT-211, in the second paragraph, the phase "when the
instantiation is elaborated # specifically" should be deleted.
On page PT-213, section Errors, the first paragraph, the
following sentence should be deleted: "Note that, for generic
subprograms, elaboration of the generic occurs when the
instantiation is called."
114\f
11.12. System Management Utilities (SMU)
This section describes the discrepancies between the
documentation contained in the System Management Utilities book
and the Delta release of the Rational Environment.
11.12.1. Key Concepts
On page SMU-3, in the Wildcards section, in both The Wildcard #
and The Wildcard @, the phrase "and the single quote (')" should
be deleted.
On page SMU-4, in the Wildcards section continued from the
previous page, in subsection The Wildcard ?, the following
sentence should be added to the first paragraph:
Note that the name !Stooges? represents Stooges, as well.
On page SMU-4, in the Wildcards section continued from the
previous page, in subsection The Wildcard ??, the first paragraph
should read:
The double question mark (??) matches zero or more components
in a name, including worlds or objects contained by those
world. For example, the name !Users?? matches the home worlds
of all users and the contents of those worlds, as well as
!Users; !Users.Bill?? matches everything in his home world,
including worlds and the objects within those worlds, as well
as !Users.Bill itself. As another example, consider that
"!??" matches all objects in the library system on a given
machine.
On page SMU-4, in Substitution Characters, the following sentence
should be added to the end of the second paragraph:
Note that in using substitution characters, the substitution
is done from right to left.
On page SMU-5, the subsection The Substitution Character ??
should be deleted.
On page SMU-7, in The Special Character `, a second paragraph
should be added, as follows:
If the current context is an Ada unit in at least the
installed state, the name following the grave is resolved
according to LRM rules.
11.12.2. Package Message
On page SMU-50, the following sentence should be added to the
Description:
115\f
The message always goes to the operations console.
On page SMU-51, the following sentence should be added to the
Description:
If a user is logged in on the operations console, the message
is sent there. In any case, the message always goes to the
operations console.
11.12.3. Package Queue
On page SMU-102, the description of the Class parameter should
read as follows:
Specifies a new default name. If the default value of this
parameter is used, the only effect of this command is to
display the current default class. Users on installations
that use Rational Networking # TCP/IP to connect multiple
R1000 systems can specify other machines on the network.
Thus, a remote machine name can be specified to set the
default (on the current machine) to be a remote class. This
remote class name may be specified or, if omitted, allowed to
default to the default class on the remote machine. For
example, the command:
Queue.default("!!M1.newclass");
specifies newclass, on machine M1, as the default class for
all local print requests. The command:
queue.default("!!m1");
specifies the default class on machine M1 to be the default
class for the current machine.
On page SMU-106, procedure Devices, the following sentence should
be added to the end of the Which parameter:
A remote machine name may be specified.
11.12.4. Package Scheduler
On page SMU-170, the following sentence should be added to the
end of the description of the Parameter parameter:
In addition, the value "defaults" restores all parameters to
their default values.

The default values for Stream_Times 1 through 3 are 2, 8, and
50 minutes, respectively.
On page SMU-177, under header Stream_Jobs N, the last sentence of
the last paragraph should read:
The default values of Stream_Jobs 1 through 3 are 2, 1, and 0,
respectively.
119\f
11.12.5. Package System_Utilities
On page SMU-269, in the fourth paragraph, the fourth sentence
should be replaced with the following sentence:
Numbers in the range 224..255 identify Telnet connections that
do not correspond to physical ports.
11.12.6. Package Tape
On page SMU-289, the specification for the Read procedure should
read:
procedure Read (Volume : String;
Directory : String :="$";
Options : String := "R1000 Add_New_Line";
To_Operator : String := "Thank You";
Response: String := "<PROFILE>");
The following changes should be made to the Parameters section on
that page:
Volume : String;
Specifies a standard ANSI volume identification: a
six-character string.
The Format and Add_New_Line parameter entries should be deleted.
The following Options parameter entry should be added after the
Directory parameter entry:
Options : String := "R1000 Add_New_Line";
The Options parameter specifies options that can be used when
reading tapes. For information on specifying Options
parameters, see Key Concepts, The Options Parameter. The
following is a list of options:
Add_New_Line
Specifies whether to add a new line character after each
record is read from tape. Without this option, bytes are
copied from tape without interpretation or modification.
Format literal
Specifies whether to format the tape for an R1000 (the
default), VAX/VMS, or MV.
120\f
R1000 Use the "Format=R1000" or
"R1000" option to specify a
tape that was formatted for an
R1000 system.
MV Use the "Format=MV" or "MV"
option to specify a tape that
was formatted for an MV
system.
VAX/VMS Use the "Format=VAX/VMS" or
"VAX/VMS" option to specify a
tape that was formatted for a
VAX/VMS system.
On page SMU-294, the specification for the Write procedure should
read:
procedure Write (Files : String := "$@";
Volume : String := "";
Options : String := "R1000 Text_Files";
To_Operator : String := "Thank You";
Response: String := "<PROFILE>");
The following should be added to the end of the Description
section:
The filename that is written to the tape is generated as
follows:
1. If the object is an Ada unit, then "V_" or "B_" are
prefixed to the name if the unit is a specification or
body, respectively.
2. Underscore characters in the name are removed. There is an
exception to this rule, in the case of "_xyz" (or other
three-letter suffixes). In cases such as this, the "_" is
replaced with a ".", resulting in a filename that ends in
an ".xyz" (or other three letter) suffix.
3. Files generated for VAX/VMS systems are shortened to 9
characters. Files for other formats are shortened to 17
characters. The following rules are used for shortening
filenames:
If, after the underscore characters are removed, the name
is too long, vowels are removed beginning at the right end
(excluding the suffix) and moving to the left. If the name
is still too long after removing the vowels, the name is
truncated again, excluding the suffix, if there is one.
121\f
4. Finally, to produce a unique name with respect to other
names being written to the tape, alphabetical characters
are inserted in front of the suffix and are incremented
alphabetically until the name is unique.
For example, on a tape written for an MV, the name
"An_Interesting_Name_Txt" becomes "AnInterstngNm.Txt".
The following changes should be made to the Parameters section
on that page:
The Format and Text_Files parameter entries should be deleted.
The following Options parameter entry should be added after
the Volume parameter entry:
Options : String := "R1000 Text_Files";
The Options parameter specifies options that can be used
when reading tapes. For information on specifying Options
parameters, see Key Concepts, The Options Parameter. The
following is a list of options:
Block_Length
Specifies the block length for the tape. The default
is 2,048 bytes. See the Format literal for
restrictions.
Format literal
Specifies whether to format the tape for an R1000 (the
default), VAX/VMS, or MV.
122\f
R1000 Use the "Format=R1000" or
"R1000" option to format
the tape for an R1000
system.
MV Use the "Format=MV" or
"MV" option to format a
tape for an MV system.
VAX/VMS Use the "Format=VAX/VMS"
or "VAX/VMS" option to
format a tape for an
VAX/VMS system. When
tapes are formatted for
VAX/VMS, R1000 filenames
are changed to legal
VAX/VMS filenames. The
Environment includes a
file on the tape called
INDEX that maps R1000
filenames to the new,
legal VAX/VMS filenames.
Label=string
Specifies an optional part of the label written to the
volume header. This allows the user to label the
user's own tape, where string is the tape label. The
default is to write no label.
Record_Format=value
Specifies the Ansi record format. The default is
VARIABLE_LENGTH.
123\f
FIXED_LENGTH Use the
"Format=Fixed_Length"
option to write tapes
with fixed-length
records. The length
of the records is
specified in the
Record_Length option.
The Record_Length
value must be less
than or equal to the
block length.
VARIABLE_LEN Use the
GTH "Format=Variable_Lengt
h" option to write
tapes with
variable-length
records. The maximum
record length is
specified in the
Record_Length option.
The Record_Length
value must be less
than or equal to the
block length.
SPANNED Use the
"Format=Spanned"
option to write data
with intrarecord gaps.
This enables the user
to write records that
are greater than the
block length. The
maximum record size is
specified by the
Record_Length option.
Record_Length=value
Specifies the record length for the tape. The default
is 512 bytes. See the Format literal for restrictions.
Text_Files
Specifies that the file contains only characters, line
terminators, and page terminators. Each line of the
file is written as record on the tape. Lines are read
124\f
according to the same rules as those used in
Text_Io.Get_Line.
11.12.7. Package Terminal
On page SMU-311, the description for the parameter To_Be
should read:
Specifies whether to set software flow control to "NONE" or
"XON_XOFF".
125\f
11.13. Project Management (PM)
The Project Management book is not currently available. The
topics to be covered by this book are currently discussed in
the following materials:
* Rational Environment Training: Advanced Topics
* Rational Environment Training: Large-System Development
126\f
11.14. Basic Operations
This section describes the discrepancies between the
documentation contained in Basic Operations and the Delta
release of the Rational Environment.
On page 22, the last paragraph of the Setting Tabs section
should read:
As you edit the text file, pressing [TAB] indents to the
next tab column.
On page 31, it should be noted that changing the name of an
Ada unit that is CMVC controlled should not be done.
On page 49, it should be noted that links in worlds under
control of CMVC should not be modified.
On page 51, the last paragraph of Deleting a Link should read:
If the link has no dependents, the link is deleted and the
link display is updated. If it has dependents, you can use
[OBJECT] - [?] to display the list of dependents.
On page 51, under Adding a Set of Links, step 3 should read:
At the Source prompt, enter a name (using special
characters and wildcards if desired) that specifies the
complete set of links and press [PROMOTE]. It should be
noted that substitution characters can be used in the link
name.
On page 63, under Making Ada Units Controlled, step 3 should
read:
At the What_Object prompt, enter ?'C(Ada,Text) and press
[PROMOTE].
On page 64, under Making a Subpath, step 1 should read:
Place the cursor on any view for the path from which the
subpath is to be created (typically, Revn_Working).
On page 64, the final paragraph of Checking Out a Unit for
Changes should read:
The command displays its output in an output window. When
it completes, the unit can be modified. When the unit is
checked out, a new generation is created.
On page 64, the last paragraph of Checking In a Unit After
Changes should read:
The command displays its output in an output window. When
it completes, the unit can no longer be changed.
127\f
On page 65, under Accepting Changes, step 1 (both occurrences)
should read:
Place the cursor on the first line of the view display.
128\f
11.15. Appendix F for the R1000 Target
This section describes the discrepancies between the
documentation contained in the Appendix F for the R1000 Target
and the Delta release of the Rational Environment.
On page F-8, under Pragmas, the description for the
Loaded_Main: bullet should read:
This pragma is generated by the Environment to specify that
a unit is a code-only unit. When the Compilation.Load
procedure is used to generate a code-only unit, a Main
pragma is converted to a Loaded_Main pragma automatically.
The Ada specification for a code-only unit can be demoted
and repromoted, as long as the specification has not
changed.
