DB2 Interface
- ROWSET fetching: During a LIST, CREATE, or DB2 SELECT command, NOMAD will now usually fetch a set of rows with a single call to the DB2 database engine (z/OS only).
- Comparisons to &NAV are now processed by DB2 (z/OS and z/VM).
- Expressions involving DATE/DATETIME items and AMONG arrays are now processed by DB2 (z/OS and z/VM).
- Long EXTNAMEs are supported (z/OS only).
SELECT Command
- The expression following an AND or OR operator in a SELECT command or WHERE clause will be evaluated only when necessary.
- SELECT DO FIRST/LAST allows you to control the order in which selection criteria is evaluated.
Other Enhancements
- The CLEAR command now returns storage that was used for the data in varying arrays and for the INSTANCE function.
- OPTION LISTERROR EVAL allows you to treat a problem encountered during the evaluation of an expression or an assignment during a LIST or CREATE command as an error.
- Support for generating charts for the Highcharts product from Highsoft has been added, allowing the generation of better and more types of charts without the security issues inherent in using an applet.
