This section outlines new features in the EPC142005 version of VLF-WEB and VLF.NET.

Change to VLF-WEB System Definition File Names

EPC142005 alters the way that VLF-WEB's VF_System_Definition_<Derived LANSA system library name>_<partition>.dat configuration files are named.

Previously any character outside the A -Z range, including numbers, in a LANSA system library name were replaced by "_" (underscore) characters.

So, a system library named VF19PGMLIB had a definition file named VF_System_Definition_VF__PGMLIB_DEM.dat

This could cause name clashes with other systems with library names like VF20PGMLIB and VF22PGMLIB because they all attempt to use the name VF_System_Definition_VF__PGMLIB_DEM.dat.  

After the application of EPC142005 only characters outside the A -> Z and 0 -> 9 ranges are replaced by “_” (underscore) characters.

So now the example definition files would be named VF_System_Definition_VF 19 PGMLIB_DEM.dat, VF_System_Definition_VF 20 PGMLIB_DEM.dat, and VF_System_Definition_VF 22 PGMLIB_DEM.dat.

If your LANSA system library has numbers in its name, you should locate its current definition file name containing the "_" characters for numbers, and rename or copy it to what the new name will be.

Alternatively, use the VLF-WEB administrator’s console to reconfigure the system.
