1779.2   EIR

Tracing refinement: When the EXEC trace is set, a line showing all of the A-Shell command line arguments is added to the ashlog.

1779.1   Fix

Xcall ASHELL (aka AMOS) and Xcall HOSTEX (with the $ASHELL arg) were failing to replicate the -erz, -silo and -dpm switches.

1779.0.1   EIR

XTREE enhancement: images (other than icons) are now included in the export to Excel. Requires CSV2XL.SBX 2.2(311).

1779.0.2   EIR

CSV2XL.SBX 2.2(311) now supports a special column format code NUMFMTX_IMAGE (60) for images. Supports PNG, JPG, PCX, BMP, TIF.

1779.0.3   Fix

CSV2XL.SBX 2.2(310) fixes problem with cells containing just a control character (e.g. "^m").

1779.0.4   EIR

New macros supported in TRACE.PRINT -

$D output dd-mon-yr

$I output pid

%env% output value of specified environment variable

Note that the $D date macro is ignored when outputting to the ashlog.log file since it already includes the date. Similarly, the $I pid macro is ignored under Linux when outputting to the ashlog.log file (since the pid is included as part of the instance identifier).

1779.0.5   EIR

TRACE.PRINT refinement: the macros (e.g. $T, $P, $L,...) can now be comma delimited, which might be useful when outputting to a custom log file. Previously they had to be space delimited.

1779.0.6   Fix

Xcall JSON: opcode 5 XJSONF_NONULLVAL option now outputs nothing if the value is empty; previously was outputting "".
