only to recovery unit journaled files accessed across the network in an OSI or
mixed OSI and non-OSI environment.
5.14.5 VFC Format Sequential Files
VAX V5.0
Alpha V1.0
You cannot update variable fixed-length control (VFC) sequential files when
using before-image or recovery unit journaling. The VFC sequential file format
is indicated by the symbolic value FAB$C_VFC in the FAB$B_RFM field of the
FAB.
5.15 Security—DIRECTORY Command Now Summarizes
Suppressed PATHWORKS ACEs
V7.1
In OpenVMS Version 7.1 and later, if you execute the DCL command
DIRECTORY/SECURITY or DIRECTORY/FULL for files that contain
PATHWORKS access control entries (ACEs), the hexadecimal representation
for each PATHWORKS ACE is no longer displayed. Instead, the total number
of PATHWORKS ACEs encountered for each file is summarized in this message:
‘‘Suppressed n PATHWORKS ACE.’’ To display the suppressed PATHWORKS
ACEs, use the DUMP/HEADER command.
5.16 System Parameters
The release notes in this section pertain to OpenVMS system parameters.
5.16.1 MAXBOBMEM System Parameter Not Obsolete
V7.3
When you are using the AUTOGEN utility, the following warning may occur in
the AGEN$PARAMS.REPORT:
** WARNING - Parameter MAXBOBMEM is Obsolete .
The MAXBOBMEM system parameter is not obsolete.
5.16.2 VCC_MAXSIZE System Parameter Definition Corrected
V7.3
The system parameter VCC_MAXSIZE is incorrectly described in online help and
in the OpenVMS System Management Utilities Reference Manual: M–Z as follows:
‘‘This special parameter is used by Compaq and is subject to change. Do not
change this parameter unless Compaq recommends that you do so.’’
Please ignore the quoted paragraph; VCC_MAXSIZE is not a special parameter,
and you can change it. Also, its maximum value is now correctly set at 3700000.
If you want to adjust the XFC size, use the system parameter VCC_MAX_CACHE
to do so.
