Index complex symbolic fields
Navigate to the source file /usr/qmsys/gplsrc/dh_ak.c, and change

   ak_header.itype_ptr = ak_header_size + DH_AK_NODE_SIZE;

to

   if (header.file_version < 2)
    {
     ak_header.itype_ptr = DH_AK_NODE_SIZE + ak_header_size;
    }
   else
    {
     ak_header.itype_ptr = 2;
    }

Doing a time oconv conversion of a non numeric results in a run time
error, where the manual suggests it should continue fine, but set
status().

Try this little program:-

program test33
* test for oconv of a incorrect format date
   date = 'A1234'
   crt oconv(date, 'D-YMD')
* test for oconv of a incorrect format time
   time = 'A1234'
   crt oconv(time, 'MTS')
end

I get this result:-

:RUN BP TEST33
A1234
000000CB: Non-numeric where numeric required at line 7 of
/home/anji_dev/BP.OUT/TEST33

Ths solution is here  - http://groups.google.com/group/OpenQM/browse_thread/thread/eb4d6634eea3d0be/43cdcd8013511c83?lnk=gst&q=oconv#43cdcd8013511c83

Amend the first few lines of time_conversion() in op_oconv.c to be...

 s[0] = '\0';

 /* Get the time value */

 src_descr = e_stack - 1;
 if (src_descr->type == STRING)
 {
  if ((src_descr->data.str.saddr == NULL)
    || (!k_str_to_num(src_descr)))
   {
    return 1;
   }
 }

 GetInt(src_descr);
 secs = src_descr->data.value;

The sum() function uses a decimal precision of 4, ignoring any setting by the PRECISION statement.

There is no fix available at this time.  The workaround it to not use sum().

==============================================================================================================================
Debian's default settings for PAM (Pluggable Authentication Module) encryption have become SHA512 and Scarlet/QM uses MD5.

Modify Scarlet/openQM to allow either encryption method.
 Edit /usr/qmsys/gplsrc/linuxio.c and change line 743 from:
   if (memcmp(p, "$1$", 3) == 0)  /* MD5 algorithm */
     to :
   if ((memcmp(p, "$1$", 3) == 0) || (memcmp(p, "$6$", 3) == 0))   /*MD5 or SHA512 */

From Mike Ryder:-

at line 246 in k_error.c
<    sprintf(s + n, sysmsg(1120),"none");
---from
>    sprintf(s + n, sysmsg(1120));

Fixing this makes the source compile without any of the error messing
about (at least that works in Ubuntu... is there another distro??). I
have no idea what the function does but sprintf seems to require
another argument.
