General User Release Notes
This chapter provides information for all users of the OpenVMS operating
system. It includes information about commonly used commands and utilities.
For information about new features included in this version of the software, refer
to the HP OpenVMS Version 8.4 New Features and Documentation Overview.
3.1 SYS$GETTIM_PREC System Service Declaration
V8.4
The SYS$GETTIM_PREC system service declaration is not present in the
FORTRAN library FORSYSDEF.TLB. Unlike other languages, FORSYSDEF.TLB
ships with the FORTRAN compiler and is built against the lowest OS supported.
In a future release, we will be providing OpenVMS V8.4 based FORSYSDEF
library which contains the SYS$GETTIM_PREC system service declarartion
along with the usual library built against the lowest OS.
3.2 Problem With F$GETSYI("RAD_CPUS")
V8.4
On a cell-based Integrity server system containing 64 CPUs, with both cell
local memory (CLM) and interleaved memory (ILM) configured, the output of
F$GETSYI("RAD_CPUS") does not include the 64th CPU as a member of the
base RAD.
3.3 HP Code Signing Service for OpenVMS Support
V8.4
HP Code Signing Service (HPCSS) for OpenVMS supports PCSI and VMSINSTAL
based kits.
3.4 Symbolic Links Implementation Changes
V8.4
Symbolic links (Symlinks) was first introduced with OpenVMS Version 8.3. The
internal implementation of Symlinks has been improved in OpenVMS Version
8.4.
3.4.1 Logical Names
V8.4
The new symlinks implementation allows the use of logical names as the first
element of a target pathname.
