The PTFINST PTF

1. Cannot configure webulator correctly if there are more than 1 webulator directory entries.

The WWW120003 PTF

The WWW120003 PTF fixes the following problems:

1. Updates the message file required by PTF WBL100001.

The WWW120005 PTF

The WWW120005 PTF contains the following changes:

1. Performance improvements when returning database, source file, and spooled file data.
2. Non-text database requests return only the requested data (no HTML tags are added). This is useful when downloading data to be used by PC applications. The COLUMNS keyword can be used to add desired formatting to the data (e.g., adding a tab between columns). Non-text means the content type of the data is not text/html or text/plain. The content type of the request can be changed by appending an appropriate suffix to the database file name (e.g., dbfile.bin).
3. Non-text spooled file requests return the data with the printer control characters (see the documentation for the CPYSPLF CTLCHAR(*PRTCTL) parameter for more information). A browser plug-in or a PC application can be written to process/print the "raw" spooled file data. Non-text means the content type of the data is not text/html or text/plain. The content type of the request can be changed by appending an appropriate suffix to the spooled file name (e.g., splf.bin).
4. Prefix and suffix support through the database keyword COLUMNS was fixed for column ranges. Previous code would only apply the prefix to the first column in the range and the suffix to the last column. Fixed code applies the prefix and suffix to each column in the range.
