Compiling with EXEC SQL

When you compile programs with EXEC SQL statements, you might now get External Compiler Module warnings, such as the following:

* 801-W***************************************        
**    External Compiler Module message        
**    DB1002 Statement is not in area B. 
       
* 801-W***************************************        
**    External Compiler Module message        
**    DB1000 Use of EXEC SQL INCLUDE SQLCA END-EXEC.

You can usually ignore these warnings, which appear as a result of the Host Compatibility Option now being supported and enabled.

Mainframe Subsystem Support (MSS)

Mainframe Subsystem Support (MSS). This facility enables CICS, IMS and JCL applications that have been migrated from the mainframe to be maintained, developed and deployed on Windows or UNIX platforms.

This term was previously referred to as Mainframe Transaction Option (MTO). You might still see the term MTO in some areas of the product. For example, supplied support files, pathnames and within the documentation.

Samba

Samba is no longer supplied with Server Express.

Deprecated Compiler Directives

Use of the Compiler directives HOSTNUMCOMPARE(1) and HOSTNUMMOVE(1) is deprecated. Support for these directives will be removed in a future release.

Keyboard Configuration Script

The script mflmkbcf, which runs the keyboard configuration utility KEYBCF, is no longer supplied from Server Express 5.1 onwards, for Linux on Itanium 64-bit .
