- EasyCASE Plus version 1.2
-
- EasyCASE Plus version 1.2 fixes the following bugs and enhances several
- functions as follows :
-
- v1.12
- a. It is now possible to print in Landscape mode to HP DeskJet/LaserJet (PCL)
- printers in Landscape orientation (15 columns by 16 rows) at 150 dpi.
- b. It is now possible to print in Landscape orientation on DeskJet and LaserJet
- printers using a Hercules graphics card.
- c. It is now possible to Export a chart to a Paint file (PC Paintbrush and MS
- Windows Paint) using a Hercules graphics card.
-
- v1.2
- a. Modified the format of the DD.DBF and chart .dbf (dBASE III Plus compatible)
- files (Export data dictionary and export chart respectively) slightly to
- enable them to be read correctly by Clipper.
- b. Improved the Data Dictionary Manager functions to use pop-up dialog boxes
- for entry and modification of object record attributes, akin to that used when
- identifying an object on a chart.
- c. Added the ability to specify the name of a file to report to when printing
- a data dictionary or chart reports in the Reports Manager.
- d. Added the capability to print reports to an ASCII (plain) printer when
- printing d/d or chart reports in the Reports Manager. When used in conjunction
- with the print to FILE capability, this enables you to create a text file for
- a report for use in a word processor etc.
- e. Added a new data dictionary object type - Record. Instead of using the
- Explodes To.. attribute to define the structure of a composite data flow,
- data store, ERD entity etc. you can now define it in a single place under a
- unique name (identifier) of type 'Record' using the data dictionary manager
- and point (explode to) it from other objects. To do this, enter the name (ID)
- of the record object (up to 32 characters) in the MISCELLANEOUS attribute field
- and enter the characters 'REC' in the ALIAS attribute field. You can leave the
- ExplodesTo field empty or use it for something else (up to 254 characters). In
- this way you can refer to the SAME (Record) composite data structure definition
- from different object types on different chart types. You can also use these
- two fields (ALIAS and MISCELLANEOUS) to define the child chart type and file-
- name of the child chart for data processes etc. when using the chart linking
- ('explosion') capabilities of EasyCASE Plus. Enter the three character file
- type (TRG, DFD, ERD, STD, STC or DSD) in the ALIAS field and the filename of
- the child chart in the MISCELLANEOUS field. Note that the file extension of
- the child file in the Miscellaneous field must be the same as that in the Alias
- field. If it is not, the 'explosion' will not occur and an error message will
- be generated. A child filename extension MUST currently be provided.
