SoftSpy 3.0C/3.0D Early Warning Downloads

The Problem:
************

When you apply Model 204 Early warning EW50/53 for 4.2.0 or Early warning
EW3014 to 4.1.1 SoftSpy servers will fail with:

***  1  M204.0211: REQUEST TOO LONG - QTBL

The text of the early warning in question is:

GENERAL DESCRIPTION:

 The performance of a refer-back FIND may be inefficient if the
 previous found set:

     1) is empty or
     2) is in group context and some of the files in the group
        are not represented in the previous found set.

 NOTE:
     After application of this fix, each FIND statement that refers
     back to a previous found set will require four additional bytes
     of QTBL space and therefore may, if SERVSIZE is set precisely,
     require an increase in SERVSIZE.

The Solution:
*************

This may be fixed using as script for the Model 204 line editor, or by
making a simple hand edit to 1 procedure in the SPYPROC file.

Common steps (do these in all cases):
*************************************

Back up the SPYPROC file with the Model 204 DUMP command.
EOJ the ONLINE.
Bring up the ONLINE with NO SoftSpy servers.
Ensure that the SPYPROC file has a update password.

Line Editor Script Method:
**************************

Please apply the below line editor script as you would an early warning for
an end user product (e.g., Dictionary 204) from CCA.

---- start of script
OPENC FILE SPYPROC
SPYPROC update password goes here
IN SPYPROC EDIT N.LOGIN.UTABLE
JS/'3.2'/
=
T
S/      %LQTBL/
=
T
X      %LQTBL=9040
JS/9040/
=
T
END
---- end of script


Or:

Hand Edit Method:
*****************

Edit the proc N.LOGIN.UTABLE in the SPYPROC file.  The following code
fragment is what to look for.

%VERSION = $VIEW('VERSION')
%LQTBL = 8930
IF ( %VERSION >= '3.2' ) THEN
      %LQTBL = ????
END IF

Place a new value of 9040 where ???? is.  The code will then look like this:

%VERSION = $VIEW('VERSION')
%LQTBL = 8930
IF ( %VERSION >= '3.2' ) THEN
      %LQTBL = 9040
END IF

save these changes.

Final Step:
***********

Once the change has been made using either method, restart the ONLINE with
SoftSpy servers.
