393.0. "VAXLIBR05" by EVTAI1::LEREUIL () Thu Mar 27 1997 02:58

    
    Hi , I would like to know if a similar PATCH to VAXLIBR05_070 for
    5.5 to 7.0 will be developed for the Vms version between 5.0 to 5.5
    and if there are similar problems about these routines on RSX11-M+
    
    Thanks indeed for your quick help

	Your question is answered in the Q&A posted in 238.. (I'd prefer to keep these questions together, too...) No. There is no patch for OpenVMS versions prior to V5.5. If the customer thinks they need the patch -- and they should become familiar with exactly what will happen and why, which is covered in the Q&A and the other notes in 238. -- they will need to contract with DIGITAL, assuming the patch can be created. They can also upgrade to a supported or "prior version support" OpenVMS version. Many/most customers (prior to V5.5) will not see any problems and I suspect a number of sites V5.5 and later will not see any problems, unless they have an application that violated a documented OpenVMS delta-time format restriction. The patches the instances where OpenVMS itself violated this restriction. The Q&A should make it quite clear that is is a mis-used OpenVMS programming interface, and this interface is not related to RSX. As has been suggested at the website and in the Q&A, customers curious about this can/should perform testing, to determine if they are affected by 19-May-1997 or by 1-Jan-2000.
