2.0 Detailed Description

2.1 Enhancements

2.1.1 Increase Maximum List Length (ESTS / PAWS)

The maximum list length for all IEEE716 / 1985 based compilers was limited to 65,535 since the symbol table entry for variables maintained the list length as an unsigned short (16bit) integer. In order to support ESTS TPS's it was necessary to allow a maximum list length of 65,536. This release of the ESTS / PAWS compiler allows that maximum list length. The changes were implemented in such a way to ensure backwards compatibility and to allow further growth for other IEEE716 / 1985 subsets.

2.2 Problem Reports

2.2.1 05-031 Infinite Fetch Loop in RESP-MATCH (CRATE / CAT + RADCOM)

Previous versions of the subject compiler generated AIL code that consisted of an infinite loop if a match was not detected in a DO, DIGITAL TEST, RESP-MATCH statement.

This release of the subject compiler corrects the problem.

2.2.2 05-999 SMUX LO Side Connections (ESTS / PAWS)

Previous versions of the subject compilers in a CLOSE, 'SMUX' statement generated two Connect actions, one for the COM-HI / CHANNEL-HI pinset and a second for the COM-LO / CHANNEL-LO pinset when present. At customer request this version of the subject compiler does not generate a Connect action for the optional COM-LO / CHANNEL-LO pinset.

2.2.3 05-998 Connection Variable containing a <PinRange> (ESTS / PAWS)

Previous versions of the subject compiler and WRTS couuld not find some or all of the paths for all elements of a <PinRange> when the <PinRange> was the value of a connection variable.
This version of the subject complier and version 1.33.1 of the WRTS corrects this problem.

2.2.4 05-997 Length FILL Statements (ESTS / PAWS)

Previous versions of the subject compiler when encountering that used greater-than 32767 lines would cause any any subsequent entry point (E- Flag) to be considered the main entry for the program.
This version of the subject compiler corrects this problem

2.2.5 05-996 '__STATIONINIT' Procedure (ESTS / PAWS)

Previous versions of the ATLAS Linker attached the '__STATIONINIT' procedure to the UsrCmd-1 control, Trap - 33.
To better emulate the legacy system this version of the ATLAS Linker attaches the '__STATIONINIT' procedure to Trap - 35. In addition version 1.33.1 of the WRTS generates Trap - 35 when the ResetStation control is activated.

2.2.6 05-995 OUTPUT, (GRAPHICS), ... Ordinates (ESTS / PAWS)

Previous versions of the subject compiler issued WARNING messages if a specified an X ordinate was out of the bounds 0 - 639 or a Y ordinate was out of the bounds 0 - 479.
This version of the subject uses 0 - 640 as legitimate X ordinate bounds and 0 - 480 as legitimate Y ordinate bounds.

2.2.7 05-994 FIELD / LINE -START-LEVEL (ESTS / PAWS Lexical Database)

Previous versions of the subject component treated the modifiers FIELD-START-LEVEL and LINE-START-LEVEL as default type DECIMAL.
This version of the subject component process both of those modifiers as type INTEGER, in accordance with the legacy ATLAS Language specification.
